Tony and the team are great!
Tony and his staff are always the best, speedy thorough friendly service.
Friendly atmosphere and good, honest service!
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!
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…
I’ve been a customer since you opened! Always great with all my automobiles!! Customer service fantastic. Thanks again.
I came in for a full diag and some maintenance for my FJ cruiser and Tony at Solar took great care of me. Incredible customer service, full transparency on my vehicles issues and did an excellent job bringing her back to full health! Can’t recommend this place enough, all my vehicles come to solar
Good friendly service. The work performed was just as the maintenance book called for. They texted me when the work was completed and they left no mess. They also advised me of the need for upcoming brake service that I'll definitely schedule.
Best & most honest service in town, hands down.
In the last month or two Solar has done the timing belt, CV axles and replaced some leaky gaskets on our 4-Runner. They always communicate throughout the process, have fair pricing and friendly customer service. Solar has serviced three of our family cars and we will continue to visit them for all our cars mechanical needs.
I remain a very satisfied customer with continued appointments made with 3 separate vehicles. Recently, they serviced my 2022 Camry thoroughly and provided me a complete report. They identified future maintenance issues (on next visit). Fast, prompt, very professional and courteous. I have found a gem for car maintenance in Castle Rock.
Reasonable, talented and honest. None better!
Amazing service! They were upfront about everything, extremely helpful on saving me money, and went above and beyond on service. Highly recommend them. I found my mechanic shop in Castle Rock for sure.
Grant and the staff have always treated me well and handled business in a very professional, thorough, and efficient manner. Highly recommend this shop!
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 cannot say enough positive things about Solar Automotive. We would not go anywhere else. If you want honest reliable maintenence and repair you have found your automotive repairs place for life. Hands down best service around. Thank you Solar Automotive.
I love coming here for my auto repair! They are all very friendly and I feel that I’m in quality hands. They’re transparent and provide great service. I will absolutely continue my business here.
Great service, well priced, nice and helpful staff and a DOG met me at the front desk. 11/10.
good and fast service recommended
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
I continually receive great service at Solar! I've been taking my car to the Castle Rock location since they opened and they're always friendly and get my car done quickly. I especially like the photo updates!
Great, honest people, I’ll definitely be bringing my Tahoe in for oil changes now, and others services along the way that my car may need. You won’t be disappointed I highly recommend them.
Needed the rear main seal replaced. I was going to do it myself. On a recommendation I decided to talk to Solar. These guys are pros. They did the job right the first time and were very easy to work with. I like to work on my own cars. But I now have an option when I don’t have the time to do the job well myself. I will definitely use Solar again.
This is my second time using Solar Automotive, and they have been a great shop to work with. I love their computerized system for showing the customer what is wrong with high quality pictures and specific descriptions of the problem. They are very prompt with communication, and never hesitate to explain things to a…
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,…
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!!
I have always taken the vehicle to the dealership where it was purchased new. I brought it to Solar Automotive and I will not be taking it anywhere else in the future! Everyone was so polite and explained everything about the repairs and answered all of my questions. I was treated with respect and not like some…
This was my first experience using Solar Auto and I was absolutely blown-away by their professionalism, transparency and pricing. After receiving my vehicle (2005 Pontiac GTO), they performed a diagnoses and discovered the issue with my steering and tires almost immediately. After writing a thorough explanation…
This was my first visit to Solar Auto and I will be returning for all other services on my vehicles. They were friendly, honest, competent, and priced fairly. They actually suggested I wait and not repair an issue another shop said was critical. They didn't have to as they could have just gone along with the other…
Serviced all 3 cars here and extremely pleased with all the work done for each car.👍👍
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 !
