What customers said about auto brake replacement
SimplyEuro European Auto Repair C…Simply Euro is the only place I take my 3 series BMW. The staff are professional with great customer service. It is easy to make appointments and their staff communicate clearly throughout the repairs. The invoices are clear and explained in plain language.
Luke's AutoProfessional and courteous while providing excellent service. I highly recommend.
Big O TiresThe Big O in Castle Pines has been taking care of my vehicles for well over a decade now! Not only do the mechanics do great work, but Dennis, Justin and Chris in the front are beyond nice and informative!!!!
Austin's Automotive SpecialistsWent in for brake issues and expressed concern with previous work from another shop. Ruben went above and beyond, listening to my concerns and working behind the scenes for me to give me a great repair at a great rate. Ruben earned my trust, giving me a fair shake. Will definitely be headed back next time I have car troubles.
Well ran shop and customer service! I don’t think you’ll find a better shop that’s not the dealership.
Oxford Automotive Tire & RepairIt’s hard to find a good place that you can trust to work on your families vehicles, but have found that with Oxford! Joe over at the Powell/Sunbury location and team went above and beyond! Told us what “needed” fixed and what we could put off. Very comfortable with the prices they quoted as well. They also back up…

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
