Great service every time
Awesome service as usual! Tony was so kind to work with our schedule to get us in for a pre-purchase inspection. We live in the Monument area and know taking our cars to Solar Automotive is worth the drive for the peace of mind, excellent service, fair prices and honesty provided. A++++++ Thank you Tony and Solar Automotive!
Tony did great with my vehicle and took great care of it even when he couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong. He made sure I was well informed every step of the way and was very honest about what was going on. Would highly recommend and will be going back when I need to!
Top Notch Service!
Solar was quick to work on my car and the customer service was over the top! Tommy was fantastic, accommodating & I'll be back!
I rarely leave reviews, but Solar Automotive absolutely earned this one. I entrusted them with a major mechanical refresh and reliability upgrade on my 2015 Camaro SS, and from beginning to end the experience was outstanding. This was not a simple oil change or brake job — the scope included: intake manifold…
Fantastic skills and reliable, trustworthy team. All my repair work on my vehicles will be done at Solar Automotive.
Very friendly and professional. Lots of work done. Got an accurate estimate. Got my car back on schedule.
Experienced a problem with my car that had happened before. They checked it out tightened everything up fix the problem at no charge.
I have my Lexus serviced at Solar Automotive for a total engine replacement and a full brake job. I am so pleased with the results. The quality of service was more than I expected and the downtime was minimal. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right. I highly recommend Solar Automotive for all your automotive care needs. John
Always go above and beyond. Truck was just clicking and I was certain it was the starter. Had it towed and they found out it was just low batteries. Charged it up with no charge and I was good to go.
We have used Solar Auto on a few occasions. Honest, reliable, great communication with fair pricing.
Amazing service. Walked me through every step of the process and took the time to explain why a service was needed. A+ all around and will use for all of our family car needs in the future
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.
Marty went above and beyond with his customer service and repair. He kept me in the loop and was so kind. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. Costs are reasonable and honest mechanic. Thanks Solar!!!
Marty and the service team did an excellent job with vehicle service and repairs. They are knowledgable, honest, detail oriented and bring a positive and encouraging experience to your automotive repair needs.
After a scary incident with my water pump breaking while I was driving on the 25, Solar got me in immediately and did an incredibly thorough job diagnosing what the problem was. Their customer service and explanation of the problem in layman’s terms was second to none. The quote included pictures and educational…
We just picked up my car that needed major repairs and we are blown away by the quality of service provided by Marty and his guys at Solar Automotive. From start to finish we were kept up to date on the progress with pictures and full explanations. These guys are so honest and down to earth, 5 stars is Not enough!!
We have been blessed to find this place. Price is fair. We have been impressed with transparency and honesty. Communication has always been a positive experience. 5 stars isn't enough.
Amazing service!! Very trustworthy and affordable. After a very bad experience with another mechanic, cannot recommend enough!
I came in with a myriad of problems and Solar evaluated and found solutions to all of them. Incredibly knowledgeable, transparent about the process, and genuinely good guys. Will be back !
Very responsive, quick turnaround and kept us informed throughout the process. We have a few things to finish and will be back.
Marty was quick to keep me informed about what was going on with my 03 Ford Expedition after its intake manifold ruptured. Every single thing on my receipt was explained and priced out for me over the phone, and we had no trouble picking up the vehicle 10 minutes before closing, to boot. Thanks, Marty!
I liked that they provided pictures of the damaged or faulty parts while still on the vehicle. The repairs were a little pricey however the vehicle need the repair work and was more then I hoped need to be completed. It was not Solars issue on the repairs however 2200.00 hits the pocket book. The repairs were…
Solar Automotive is great, always a pleasure to talk to and get work done by. They give an honest opinion about what's going on with your car, they dont try to pull a fast one on you. These guys are reliable and flexible with your schedule. This car shop is here to help, not take your money. An honest shop. Thank you for your help always!
The communication and service quality are top notch. They wont charge for stuff that's not needed and really do a great job of explaining options. We take two vehicles here for all of our service needs. Highly recommended.
Grant and Marty are always communicative with us on the status of our repairs and our options. They will go above and beyond to ensure we feel like we get our money's worth but MOST importantly they will not give a vehicle back without triple checking its done perfectly. You won't be disappointed with this shop!
Very pleased with the service. Quality work, timely and fair price. Veterans also receive a very generous discount. Could not be happier.
Super convenient location next to my kiddos school. Friendliest service ever!! They’re so helpful and always positive! Have taken our cars here a few times now for different reasons. They drive me to work/home if I have to drop off for long periods of time, it’s amazing. When they find out what your car needs, they…
I visited Solar after making many calls around town to find out about getting a full diagnostic check done on my Tucson. While Solar wasn't the lowest price I could find for the diagnostic it was DEFINITLY the most detailed and thorough I've ever seen so I was more than happy to pay a little more for the service.…
Very professional got my Acura back to me in a timely fashion the car is running great.
