Solar Automotive for steering & suspension repair
Clear ✕All 30 Google reviews tagged “Steering & suspension repair”
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.
Always fair, prompt and quality work. Thanks!
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…
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.
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.
Always done right and on time!
They were upfront and honest and provided great service.I go to this place all the time for any serious repairs because I know I won’t get ripped off.
Solat Automotive is fast and fair. They do good work in the amount of time they say. I appreciate the convenience to my house and will continue to give them my business.
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!!!
Great people and outstanding service! By far the best auto service shop I have found in Castle Rock.
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…
Super friendly, great work on my car and very helpful
A year+ after my first review, and having taken 6 different vehicles there over that time, I still stand by my 5 stars. But only because I can't add more!! Grant, Marty and Matt have been absolutely amazing every single time we're there. They remain honest and straightforward every time we go in and the inspection…
The team at Solar Automotive are honest and upfront with what needs to be fix and what doesn't. I've used Solar several times now and each time I'm impressed not only with the quickness of service but how they treat the customers. They don't try and up-sale you! I will continue to use Solar
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!
Used Solar Automotive for a wheel alignment after I rebuilt the tired suspension of my 2009 Mazdspeed 3 and they did a great job! Car drives arrow straight just like it did when I bought it new nearly twelve years ago. They even provided a copy of the alignment report afterwards which I greatly appreciated. Would…
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!
Customer service is A+ Friendly and above expectations. Had a squeeking belt - fixed and explained Oil change - fair price Grease UPC I will definitely make this my headquarters for all automotive needs
Just simply put a great group of mechanic's that have the expertise of working on any car, truck or very old corvettes. They will tell you honest ideas what to do and if it can be done or not. They just don't take your money! Spreading the word!
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…
Fantastic service shop. Finally! So tired of the dealer run around and expensive prices. Not here. Quality service fare prices. I will be using them for anything else that comes up. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Matt not only is a fantastic mechanic he offered and trailered my YJ to his shop. He is working hard to find parts and putting together my 1990 Jeep. I’m so fortunate to have a knowledgeable mechanic with meticulous skills to tackle this project. Thank you! Cheers and hit the trails🍻
