Solar Auto is one of those businesses where you see hundreds of 5-star reviews online, visit them for the first time, and instantly understand why. They are very friendly, honest, and fair in their service, skills and business practices. They never try to upsell you unnecessarily and are extremely respectful of your…
Tony and the team are great!
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…
Great experience here. Had appointment for Tesla Model Y alignment check at 0800. My vehicle rolled right in shortly thereafter. Was quoted about an hour if alignment was in pretty good shape and up to 5 hours if it needed significant adjustment. Fortunately, mine only needed minor tweaking. Was completed in a…
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
Best & most honest service in town, hands down.
Update: 11/29/2025 I discovered the ownership had recently change when picking up my vehicle and asking about my usual contact, Grant. Ironically, I had my vehicle in for a brake system evaluation and Tony, the new owner recommended waiting another 10,000 miles before performing the brake job. This says to me that…
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 crew at Solar Automotive repair!
We have used Solar Auto on a few occasions. Honest, reliable, great communication with fair pricing.
Excellent work! You can really tell once you test drive your car.
Perfect alignment nose pined to center of lane . pro shop
Performed as promised and delivered early. Very pleased. Will use again.
Great locally owned repair shop! Honest expert service. Thanks Marty and Grant! My go too repair shop in Castle Rock.
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…
Skilled, professional & informative . I recommend this shop for your automotive needs and will return for future maintenance.
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
Excellent service and communication! I'd highly recommend
They did an alignment on my Jeep after I put a suspension lift on myself. After being at their shop they are definitely a place in Castle Rock that you can trust your vehicles with. I like to do all my own work on my vehicles. I would trust them with the work I can't do. At least half the vehicles I saw in the…
If it weren’t for these guys, we would not have been able to cash out the warranty through another company that made a major mistake. They are so honest, reliable and kind!
I use Solar for all 4 family cars. Marty is knowledgeable, honest and courteous. I highly recommend.
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.
Love this place! Customer service is awesome! This places gets better and better every time I come here!!!! Very positive!
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!
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…
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🍻
