Stan’s Alignment & Brake Service

This is a review for service from a few months ago. I’ve taken my car there a few times there before for regular alignment, and they did a fine job (hence the 2 stars). However, the last time I took it there, I was very disappointed with the service and hence won’t be taking it back. I went in because something on my car was occasionally making a weird clunking noise as I drove. It didn’t happen all the time, but when I took it in, the car was able to replicate it (Murphy’s law upended), so the mechanic heard it when he drove it. They told me it was a wheel hub/​bearing problem, which sounded reasonable, so they replaced it for a little over $ 300. As I drove off with my wallet $ 300 lighter, the sound was still there so I took it right back, and they told me that it must be a problem with the tire, and that I should take it to a tire shop.
I’m by no means a mechanic, but I also work in a job whose biggest responsibility is diagnostics, so I understand that there is a degree of uncertainty in any diagnosis. HOWEVER, if it was even possible that the tire was faulty, shouldn’t they have at least looked at the tire before they charged me $ 300 for something that possibly didn’t need to be replaced!!! I know that some parts of cars are hard to examine/​access, but it’s the freakin’ tire! It sits on the outside! I could examine it myself if I knew what to look for!
I took it to the place where I got the tires, and after a 2 hour wait, their verdict was — no problem with the tires…
I gave up trying to fix it after that and decided to take my chances even though my car still made that noise — since then, no wheels fell off and no one died because of it (other than the legendary David Bowie). I’ve since sold the car, and who knows if the car is still clunking along, but after that experience, I won’t be taking my car back to Stan’s Alignment.

Wonderful service, the technicians took the time out to manually go over every detail. I recently got new tires on my car which is lowered with a custom suspension. The place I bought my tires from was not able to do the alignment. A friend recommended me to Stan’s and I a glad I came. They were able to work with me to adjust my ride height as well as easily align all 4 wheels. The technician came and spoke with me various times regarding the details of the adjustments made to my suspension, ride height, alignment, and maintenance.

The service here is great! Super friendly family owned small business that is becoming an endangered species these days. I drive a lifted 97 4Runner and alignments aren’t easy to do correctly on these things. I used to go to Firestone because I had an unlimited lifetime alignment program, but they always struggled to get it right, and no matter when I would make an appointment I’d always have to wait at least a couple of hours, if not more. So what’s the point of having an appointment, right?
I decided to try Stan’s after getting a referral card from Discount down the street. I needed the alignment because I just replaced some steering related parts on my truck the previous day, and the longer I drove without an alignment the worse I’d trash my tires.
I called Stan’s around 9:30 and was able to get in at 2 the same day. I showed up at 2, they were working on it by 2:15, and I was out the door with a very well aligned 4Runner by 3:15! The price was great too! $ 50 is worth it for the service and knowing they have a lot of experience with lifted trucks.

This place is boss.
I was recommended Stan’s and I now know why. Scheduled my appointment the day before for 1pm. The drive over was the sketchiest drive of my life because I just installed some suspension parts, lower control arms if you cared, to my car so the rear alignment was wayyyyy off. When I arrived I was well taken care of. Staff was nice and took care of my wants. My car was done with a 4 wheel performance alignment to my specifications. The tech got my car to the exact specifications I asked for. I actually stood in the bay while it was going on. The tech was fast, about 30 minutes for a 4 wheel performance align that was wayyy off when I brought it in. He was really good at his job, obviously.
I will go back to Stan’s anytime I need an alignment done, that is for sure.

Such a nice receptionist but my appt was 8am and so was 10 other people’s. So not taken for over an hour and a simple alignment has taken over 1.5 hrs and still not done. Now worried because they’re talking about going to lunch and are all in the back doing some social thing. Feel lime I’m being held hostage. Missed 2 other appts. Not ok to tell everyone to show up at 8am.

After getting basically the birdie and run-​around by the jerks at Brakes Plus, this place is a friendly store sent by the car Gods! When I went to get my new tires from Discount Tires, they told me I had an alignment issue with my car. Discount Tires referred is to Stan’s; however, being stubborn, we tried Brakes Plus first. Learning the hard way that we should’ve listened to the pros, we stumbled upon Stan’s. They made it easy to make the appointment. It’s in a sketchy area, but it’s near a pretty good Mexican restaurant. While you wait for your car, you can enjoy lunch.
They did an alignment for all four wheels, even though I have a front-​wheel drive. Paid $ 68.50, with great workmanship! No complaints here, have great integrity and no pressures of getting hassled for services that were unnecessary. This place is highly recommended for those with issues. Check them out!

Great service, friendly people. My car drives straight as an arrow again. Most importantly they did not try to sell me something that I did not need.
There was a small miss communication and they took care of it with out a problem.
They have very reasonable pricing, acutally there standard pricing is cheaper than Meineke coupon price

Very fair place. I even took in my own parts that I gave up on as I had not time. They were willing to use them. Fair price. No overselling of crap I did not need. They even said I did not need pads on my back.

ROCK STARS!!!
These guys are awesome! Fair prices, quality workmanship and my go to guys!
It’s hard to find people to trust to work on your cars, trucks and RV’s
I will never take any of my vehicles anywhere else.

I have a sports car that was «aligned» by a performance shop in Denver 18 months ago, and after «alignment» it chewed through a set of tires in 4000 miles and drove dangerously. On the recommendation of Discount Tire on Colfax (another honest group of people) I visited Stan’s yesterday and in less than an hour they had aligned the car and it drives perfectly now — like new! I can’t rate these guys highly enough, they gave me my driving experience back — but reader beware, you will also be shocked by the price… $ 68.00. What a steal! Thank you Stan’s!

These guys are top-​notch. My RV broke down while travelling through Denver, and I was extremely lucky to be referred to Stan’s. Both axles on my trailer needed to be replaced. Owner Mike got on the phone with the axle manufacturer and explained the problem. It took about a week to get the axles from Indiana, at which point manager Bob and his mechanic John got the job done quickly and efficiently. This is a second generation family owned business, and it shows. I’d recommend them to anyone!

I would give this place 4.5 stars if possible– the people here are friendly, helpful and straightforward, as well as very well-​priced. I had called around to about 5 different places before one of my friends suggested checking out Stan’s and they quoted me at about $ 40 – 50 cheaper on labor, as well as included a year long warranty on labor and parts (most others were maybe 3 months labor, 1 year parts).
Also, I had thought I needed an alignment on my car due to a slightly shaking wheel, but when I came to pick up my car, the guy mentioned it to me and explained that the shaking was due to a tire going bad and said they took a look and weren’t able to determine yet which one it was. When I asked what he thought I should do, he suggested waiting until the shaking was more pronounced and then bringing it in for a check-​up (versus suggesting I just replace them all now), so I didn’t feel they were out just to make a buck.
The only negative is that there isn’t really an area for customers to sit and do work while they wait, but the closest coffee shop is about 5 blocks east on Colfax, so that’s always an option if you don’t feel like dealing with finding a ride or taking the bus.
Definitely will go back for future maintenance and repairs!

Brought my car for an alignment check this morning and everything was done by noon. Knew i had additional problems with the ball and joint as i had run into a curb several months ago after slipping on an icy road into a curb. Rates were honest and very reasonable price for labor. Friendly staff too. Had taken my car to Big O’ Tires on Havana a few wks prior for a free alignment estimate where a number of additional ‘problems’ were found and i was quoted a rate more than 2x what i was charged here! Will definitely come back here for future auto repair services.
