E & J Auto Service

I have to give a lot of respect and credit to Pat and the E&J Auto Service team. They have
gone above and beyond to make things right with my recent service and its refreshing to see a solid and ethical auto service shop doing good things. Looking forward to making E&J my new go to mechanic!

A man, without his word, is nothing. This should be the mission statement for this company. I am so pleased to have view the reviews given on Unilocal when looking for a auto repair mechanic in my area. I was able to get my car service in about 2.5 hours and the cost was lower than what was quoted. Mine you this won’t always be the case but it’s nice when it happens. I am so impress with the cleanliness of the shop and staff. Waiting for my brakes to be worked on next week and will take the car in for any other adjustments I find along the way.
You would be losing a lot of money and gaining additional stress … if you don’t give this shop a try. The plus side is that this shop is on East Colfax Ave. and the RTD #15 runs a half block from the shop. So if you needs a ride home while the car is being repaired take the cheap bus home and back to get your car.
Great service in a timely fashion.

Wow, we haven’t been there in MANY years (since about the time the internet was created probably… LOL), so this review is way over due! I just stumbled on these other reviews today after telling a co-​worker about a problem I had with a car once and it made me think of them. So glad to see they are still around… it’s really not surprising though because of the way they do business!!!
We used to use them for all of our vehicles, but unfortunately had to stop when we moved to California. We were so pleased with them that we tried to convince Pat to move to San Diego and open a shop here… LOL! Literally the last stop we made on our way out of town with the moving truck all loaded up was by E & J to donate 2 older cars that we no longer needed since we had ordered a new one that was being picked up when we arrived in CA. Hopefully they were able to sell them and enjoy at least a nice dinner! ;-)
I have never dealt with another shop that is as fair and honest as E & J Auto. They do a thorough inspection and tell you exactly what your car needs and how long you have before it will be necessary. They don’t try to pressure you into doing unncessary work just so they can make money. Always ready on time, done right, and they take excellant care of your car.
They even solved a weird heat related shifting problem that 2 dealers and a transmission shop mis-​diagnosed and replaced several sensors, then rebuilt the transmission, and eventually replaced it with a new one… nothing fixed it and they gave up and just denied there was an issue. Pat figured it out in about 15 minutes and replaced a $ 30 cable… problem solved!!!
Thanks Pat and crew! The San Diego offer still stands!!!

All I can say is A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G! These guys are honest and ridiculously reasonable. As a single woman I feel I will never be lied too or manipulated into doing unnecessary repairs. I drive all the way from Boulder to use these guys! You can’t go wrong.

There was this one time that we brought an old Volvo to them… and an engine that had been ripped out of another old Volvo, and placed in the bed of a pick-​up truck. And they blessedly melded the two together for us. Without even laughing. It took just over a week, and only cost about a grand. That Volvo is still running.
Since then, they’ve done a ridiculous amount of work on my 2001 Ford Windstar. I recently brought it to them with what I thought was the beginning of the end of its life. It felt like rocks had gone through the engine while I was cruising down the highway. I stupidly threw out my issues to the masses on facebook, and was convinced that pretty much anything not electrical had bit the dust. I was expecting the repairs to be more than the vehicle is worth… They call me up and say, «Oh hey, yeah… just needed new spark plugs, and could use a tune up. The filters are kind of nasty.» They could have taken me to the cleaners. I’ve been taken to the cleaners by mechanics before. It sucks.
Currently they’re working on my daughter’s car, which was bestowed upon her by her father. It’s a piece of crapola. He didn’t do much to it when it was in his possession.
The kind folk at E and J understand my predicament. Ex husband dumps his problem in my lap. Thanks to these awesome fellows, I’m going to come out looking like the greatest damned thing since sliced bread. I will be the most frikkin FANTASTIC MOM on the planet. Worthy of admiration and even hugs in public! So thank you, E and J! Thank you for putting up with us, and our plethora of car issues. You are worth the 45 minute drive. You are awesome.
