Boulder Valley Automotive

My vehicle has had a long list of problems this year and after getting wildly overcharged by a different mechanic up the street, came over to BVA. I've chosen these guys for my last three repairs because they're honest about their work, honest about saving you a buck where they can, and my car is running better than ever after taking it here. Really grateful to these awesome guys. While a lot of businesses in Boulder will gleefully overcharge you with a smile on their face, these guys do quality work for a fair price, oh, and they're friendly as can be! Thanks BVA!

This is the most honest, straightforward and fair shop I’ve ever taken my car to. Darren is so incredibly nice and helpful, and he saved me a ton of money. I’d already taken my Kia SUV to Boulder Valley Automotive for other small repairs because they’re great and their prices are really fair. This time I paid extra to have it towed to them because the engine failed while I was driving. Darren thought it seemed like a specific warranty issue Kia has acknowledged, and that there was a good chance Kia might cover the repair. He talked to the dealership and they agreed it sounded like that issue. I had the SUV towed to Kia. Kia told me I needed a bunch of different repairs, not that it was the warranty issue. I freaked out and talked to BVA again. Darren told me the repairs they were suggesting made no sense and called them again. It turned out the Kia dealership shop hadn’t listened at all to what BVA told them. When Kia looked for what Darren had told them to, they found it WAS the warranty issue. Kia is replacing the engine at no cost to me. From this I learned that dealership will happily try to sell people work their cars don’t need. I really appreciate BVA’s honesty and helpfulness. They aren’t condescending to me because I’m a woman, and I think they genuinely care about helping people.

I am just passing through town and called to see if I could get an appointment at Boulder Valley Automotive. They couldn't get me in, but had a genuine concern for my issue. They took the time to give me a possible solution to the problem, and also gave me recommendations for other automotive repair nearby. That's Excellent customer care in my book!

This is where I take my 2007 Honda CR-V when it needs fixin’. The staff are wonderful, prices are reasonable, and they get me back on the road quickly. Highly recommended!

Is it possible to love an auto repair shop? YES! I had my oil changed in the state that I previously lived in. That shop suggested a number of items to fix but I didn't have time to take care of them before I shipped my car. After settling down in Boulder, I took it to the guys at Boulder Valley Automotive and mentioned the repairs I needed. After assessing my car, they told me the repairs were completely unnecessary. I am blown away by how honest and transparent they are, and how they only charge for work that is truly necessary. They deliver great service and truly care about their customers. Thank you for being an awesome shop!!

Came here with a bent tie rod on a 2013 Nissan Leaf. Darren fixed our car for $400 when the Nissan dealership quoted $3,800. We were able to avoid an insurance claim and get our car back a lot faster, too. Can't say enough good stuff about the communication and fair treatment we experienced.

Super trustworthy and fair, no B.S. at all from my experience... currently with 2 vehicles under their care, can recommend woth confidence...

Excellent prices, friendly service, NAPA warranty and beyond. Wouldn’t hesitate to trust Daron and the mechanics with any vehicle.

I was delighted that BVA was able to squeeze me in for a next-day oil change. Throughout the process, I was treated very respectfully and felt that my car was in good hands. The pricing was more than fair, and I will definitely be taking my car here in the future for maintenance!

Showed up thursday evening and I had given no notice that I'd be coming in. I came in to show them my brakes that needed to be urgently replaced. They saw how important it was that I get them replaced asap for my own safety so they squeezed in time to help me quickly with my extremely short notice. They ordered the parts immediately and I left my car there on the spot at that time thursday evening and by mid day friday everything was already finished. I had them change all 4 rotors and all 4 brake pads and I even had an unusual request, I wanted them to paint my rusty brake calipers to make them look new again. They did that for me as well. They charged me less than they quoted me as well. Lifetime warranty on the brake pads too. Also the two guys I talked to both were very friendly with a good sense of humor. Just an amazing experience compared to what I delt with very recently with a different shop. If I need service again I will be back.
