We are SO grateful you were able and willing to get us in very last minute and at the end of the day. Thank you!
Everyone was amazing I would refer anyone to use them!! Great Guys!!!
Had an appointment for an oil change, but brakes needed work so they did it by the next day. Always great service. Thanks.
Really happy with my experience at Solar Automotive! I brought my 2024 MINI Countryman S in for an oil change, inspection, and tire rotation, and they made the whole experience so easy. Everyone I dealt with was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the service was quick, and I really appreciated that there were no…
Great service with professional and friendly staff!
Tony and his staff are always the best, speedy thorough friendly service.
Friendly atmosphere and good, honest service!
Great Job on the Subaru valve body and Fair price very hard to find a independent that you can trust Solar is one them
Prompt, efficient, transparent. I will not hesitate to come back.
As usual Tony squeezed me in on short notice for an oil change and tire rotation. Best place to get your car serviced.
We cannot say enough about the honesty, reliability and professionalism of Solar Automotive. Unfortunately, we have to leave after six years to care for parents. We can only hope to find a place half as good as Solar!
Always fair, prompt and quality work. Thanks!
Great to work with. Will definitely be bringing our next car to them for a service. Thank you Solar Automotive for the great work.
Tony and the team were amazing. I lost my husband a year ago, but he always spoke highly of everyone at Solar Automotive. So this was all new to me, but they made it so easy and seamless - even when I forgot to inform them about something. I was received with empathy and immense kindness. My car now feels brand-new…
Friendly service. Wait area clean and quiet. Came on referral from family as Solar has reputation for honesty. I almost hate to give these folks a good recommendation because then everybody in town will want to come and I won’t be able to get an appointment! They are so nice to work with. I appreciate the quiet…
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…
Rear brakes/rotors and oil change and incidentals done efficiently. Under $600. Excellent service
Tony and Katie are the best! I love supporting them and their business! This is my second service with them. I’ll definitely take my car there again…and again! I highly recommend!
Awesome service!
Always a great experience. Everyone is very friendly. Always get a full digital inspection and complete estimate on repairs with no pressure.
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,…
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…
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.
Service was great, as always! Love these guys; I always feel very secure in what they find and fix!
Tony and everyone at Solar Audio are great. My job turned out to be bigger and more complicated than anticipated and they kept me informed and explained everything well. I highly recommend them.
I’ve been a customer since you opened! Always great with all my automobiles!! Customer service fantastic. Thanks again.
This shop worked on my truck and done an amazing job! It nearly needed rebuilt!! Got it back in a week and everything is perfect, thanks for the great service and friendly atmosphere!! Will definitely be back for any work that may be needed in any of my vehicles in the future. Would 100% recommend this shop to my friends and family
Very professional staff and knowledgeable technicians. Will continue to use their services.
Brought in my 1991 ZR- 1 Corvette to troubleshoot a fuel issue. The shop was eager to work on the relatively rare LT5 engine and quickly diagnosed a faulty fuel pump and fixed a few nuisance oil leaks. I was reluctant to let just anyone work on this vehicle, however the shop could not have done a better job.…
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.
We’ve been coming here for years. Great service, knowledgeable staff, responsive owner, and transparent work are the reasons we keep coming back. This is a great shop.
Always a great experience at Solar automotive. We have all 4 of our vehicles serviced there and each time it is excellent!!
Love this place! Grant & Matt know how to service cars & people. Spoke with another customer in waiting area he said he has 5 vehicles and brings them all to Solar.
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.
Great friendly staff, was a joy to have my car serviced there. will definitely return
I really liked the inspection report process with recommended actions and immediate actions. It will help me track my maintenance history. I asked that the complimentary inspection double check the tie rods due to a squeak on tight turns. They took extra time to drive test it and check-it-out when the visual…
I love this place.
This was my first visit and it went very well. There was no attempt to upsell and the service was done right. I will be back.
