Stan’s Automotive

Have been using Stan’s since we moved to Colorado four years ago. They are «customer friendly,» a bit pricey, but they are also honest. We have had a couple of cases in which very minor things went wrong — such as a tire pressure light going on when the tires did not seen low. They looked it over, told us the tire pressure was low, put air in the tire and gave us a tire pressure gauge — all for no cost. They pay attention to details and don’t charge for things they didn’t do. We lived in a small town in rural Northern New England before we lived here, and we had a mechanic we knew we could trust, and were pleasantly surprised to find the same kind of service here, even though it is a much bigger (but probably better equipped) shop than what our old friend had.

This was my first time at Stan’s after moving to the area and it was an awesome experience from beginning to end. We received a «welcome to the neighborhood» coupon good for an oil replacement. I called in the morning and got an appointment within the hour! While I was getting my oil checked, they replaced my battery which was woefully weak, and checked on my brakes. I was in and out within an hour. The lounge to wait in was comfortable and clean. Really appreciated watching the kindness they extended to all customers — like having a technician ride along in someone’s car if they were concerned about a noise they were hearing. Will definitely be back!

Limited experience with this shop, but they were able to do a quick oil change and provide recommendations for future service (most of which I already knew about). Seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my questions. Very friendly people working at the front desk. Clean, humble waiting room with magazines, books, free coffee and soda.

This was the first time I brought this vehicle to a local shop rather than a dealer for repairs. I was really surprised by the quality of the service and attention I received. I should have given them a try years ago, since they diagnosed and repaired a problem that had continually eluded the the county dealer’s technicians. The price is correct too. They only perform the necessary amount of work for mileage check-​ups – not the bloated package that a dealer upsells. I’m a convert.

I have been taking my vehicles here for over 20 years. Great shop very honest and helpful. One of the best shops in Boulder County.

I just called and got YELLED AT for having a question. My grandmother has used them for years and I’ve never had a problem till now. I don’t want to even call again to make an appointment because I am afraid I will get yelled at again. I will be using someone else from now on.

Finding an auto repair place you can trust is never easy. We have 4 cars that we been servicing at Stan’s for about 5 years and we’re always been delighted with their honesty and friendly service.
I knew they were honest when we took a car in that was making some god-​awful noise and I was braced for a major repair. They called and said it was a minor adjustment, didn’t even charge me, are you kidding? No other work was needed, so I drove away and owed nothing!
I also bring in my cars for their «checkups» and they only do the service and fluid changes that need doing, not just blindly charge you for everything regardless of whether it’s needed.
They are probably not the cheapest place around and I do admit I go to the quicky lube places for my oil changes and tires. But honesty is most important in an auto repair shop and so I will always take my cars to Stan’s for any repair work.

First time here. Easy to make an appointment and very friendly. Oil change was quick and they honored a gift certificate that expired a year ago. Definitely coming back! #locallyowned

Been with Stan’s about a year… moved to them to take advantage of their shuttle service and claim of superior service. In general, they are good but make mistakes just like any other shop (and correct them)
I recently needed to have the spark plugs changed on our Toyota and asked them for a quote…$ 450. That seemed high so i called Mountain States Toyota, their price $ 315 and I also called another local shop, $ 300.
I like Stan’s, they do good work but their prices are just to high. I think that I can find better value elsewhere.

We popped a tire on the way to school. We were able to make it to Stan’s and they changed out the tire free of charge. Excellent service. Highly recommended!

Professional auto repair. They were able to get my car in for a wheel alignment the same day I called. Knowledge customer service.

This was my first time to Stan’s and I went there because I heard good things about this business. I took my truck in for it’s 100,000 mile check up. They performed some scheduled maintenance and did a couple of needed repairs.
The final will was about $ 1100.00 and it was done in a timely manner. They were very polite and they communicated with me during the whole process.
I will return to Stan’s for repairs and or maintenance on my vehicles in the future.

AVOID this business! I had a problem with my Acura not starting when it was warm outside. I took my car to Stan’s. After two days they said they couldn’t figure out why the car would not start in warm weather. They DID, however find many, many things wrong with my car that would cost over $ 1500.00 to repair. On a friend’s advice I called Hoshi Motors in Boulder. The mechanic diagnosed the issue over the phone. I took my car to Hoshi’s and they replaced a module for $ 135.00. I showed them the estimate from Stan’s and they looked over my car. NOTHING WAS WRONG with it. Stan’s attempted to fleece me out of over a thousand dollars.

Totally reasonable for oil change. The leaks my poor car has are both completely expensive and also not hurting my car — after telling me both of these things, Stan’s recommended I not fix it. How often will a garage honestly tell you you should just save your money?

So far we’ve had nothing big, but the staff here are really friendly. We just bought a brand new car, and had a flat a week later. We brought it in and they plugged the tire for free, and told us to being it back when we had a real problem. They’ve also helped us put on our plates and small things we didn’t have the tools for without making us wait or charging us. The place has a good, professional vibe, so I’ll definitely be back when something does happen.

I’ve been back to Stan’s multiple times since my first visit. I get regular oil changes and service interval maintenance done. What’s nice about Stan’s is that they will check everything the service interval maintenance and let you know the items should really be replaced or not. This saves you money compared to the dealer which would often just replace no matter what.
I’ve also utilized Stan’s to look over a used car purchase. They do a used car service check to give you an idea of the condition of the car you’re looking to purchase. They request to have the car for a few hours though, so make sure you allow that time within your schedule.
If your car is going to be tied up for awhile, Stan’s will gladly drive you to work or a nearby location if you need or you can arrange for a loaner car if they’re available. The loaner car is nothing fancy, but it’s clean and gets you from A to B.

Stan’s deserves five stars just for Emma’s free car seat inspections alone. Most folks install the child seats incorrectly, and Emma is there to teach you how to get it right.
Repairs are always right the first time, and the customer care is unmatched. The prices may be top dollar, but the service is top notch. No shortcuts here — just good advice a good running car.

I’m a female who is not overly knowledgeable about vehicles. Auto shops scare me to death and I am certain they have made much money on me than necessary over the years. That being said, I LOVE Stan’s because they have been trustworthy and honest since Day 1. T
They have also gone over and beyond on multiple occasions. I remembered at 4:30pm on Friday that my oil change was dangerously overdue: they made it happen. The canopy on my Jeep busted one rainy morning and I was doing military honors across town in 3 hours: they worked and worked to fix it, then gave me a loaner. I went through a horrible personal/​professional time and burst into tears while dropping my car off: they left a 6-​pack of my favorite beer in the seat. How did they remember, or know, my favorite beer?
These guys have built a reputation based on attention to the even the smallest details and genuine care about their customers. Businesses like this are hard to come by these days!

Great shop. Spotless, comfy waiting room. Received a free oil change in the mail, and they kept the appt free. Made a few suggestions, but said nothing was urgent. Free soda and coffee. Will be back.

Stan’s is always super reliable. It’s so nice to support a local business who care about their customers and reputation just as much as they do making money.
The service is quick and they call you when they have finished, but if you have a short wait they have a fish tank, soda fountain, and automated coffee machine.
Or, better yet, you can take a small walk around or what we do which is walk the dog when we pick up the car since we live less than a mile away.
