Solar solved problems with my car which I could not get resolved at the dealership. The mechanic quickly noticed an issue that adversely affected my car’s performance. I will return to Solar all future maintenance actions.

I've been coming to Solor every since I moved to Castle Rock in 2022 and started taking my primary vehicle but now am taking my 2 vehicles there. My son is now taking his Fusion there. I've had an assortment of work done from major issues to oil changes and smaller maintenance. Solor does good work at reasonable…

This is by far the best, most honest, knowledgeable, and fair auto repair shop. I think everyone has had some sort of negative experience at a repair place, but not here. My family has used Solar Automotive several times now. I never feel gouged, pressured, and most importantly they are honest humans. We recently…

Solar Automotive has been fantastic. My battery died while I was at a school holiday concert, and not only did they come jump the car, they towed it to their shop and had a new battery installed and the car ready by the time the concert ended. Since then, I've used them for oil changes too, and they're always quick,…

Tony and his crew are HONEST AND DEPENDABLE. Although Solar is my go-to mechanic, I had to go somewhere else recently and let’s just say Tony kept them from squeezing thousands $$$ out of me. All their work is superior quality and they don’t use after market fall-apart parts.

Not only did they get my forerunner up and running after another mechanic had made quite a mess of it but they detailed my engine just because and with 210,000 miles on it, it is never looked so clean. Great customer service and satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed.

Solar Automotive is hands down first class and best in the business. You will not find a more honest and trustworthy shop, so don’t even bother looking. Their communication is unmatched and they stand behind their quality work 100%. I won’t take any of my personal cars or fleet vehicles anywhere else. Marty, Grant,…
