i have been using 5280 Motor Sports since i moved to Denver 14 years ago. Eric and his gang worked on my Porsche Cayenne for years and now they work on my Audi. i would never go anywhere else. Eric knows absolutely everything about cars and explains everything about what he is going to do. His prices are fair and the work is always done perfectly. He also lets you know if he sees a repair in your future but doesn't rush you into anything you dont absolutely need. I completely trust them with my cars. read more

Eric is simply the best when it comes to my Audi. This car hasn't been drama free but Eric always has a solution. The prices are incredibly reasonable and Eric couldn't be a more patient guy. Plus when you go to get your car, you get to meet three amazing dogs. Eric is the only one to touch my car because I know I'll get my car back. For context, I thought for sure I was going to need a new motor. Eric put Humpty Dumpty back again and I just sailed through my first emissions. read more

i have been taking my Porsche and Audi to Eric for over 14 years. The are the best. i have never been oversold on anything or pressured into anything; I trust them immensely. read more

Eric has taken care of 2 Audis for me, going back to 2017. One is newer but high maintenance, the other is old enough that some parts aren't available anymore. He manages to get what I need every time, and the 24 year old car runs better than it has in a long time. Service on the newer car is obviously much easier, and he gets it done quickly and for a fair price every time. On top of all that, his dog greets me with a ball every time. read more

This review is long overdue, I took in my 2014 Q5 in to get a couple of repairs done and it turned out it needed extensive work. Eric and his team were so amazing with getting my car running better than ever, and they were so fast !! Not to mention Eric 's unbeatable prices and the fact that he really puts his heart behind his work. The best part of showing up is seeing his team and his two cute dogs who are absolutely adorable. You will definitely be happy if you chose 5280 motor sports- I will never go anywhere else again! read more

I have been taking my 2013 Audi Q5 to Eric for almost 10 years for regular service and repairs. Eric has always gone above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. Cannot recommend highly enough! read more

I scheduled an oil change here for my Audi Q5 and was so happy I did! Everyone was so friendly and the service was fast. They even offered to give me a ride to a coffee shop nearby while I waited. They made the process super easy and looked over the rest of my car and offered suggestions but didn't push anything on me at all. Their dog Topper was also so cute!! read more

5280 Motorsports - Topper! - Auto Repair Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Terrible experience - Four days and $822 and not only did they not fix my problem, they created another one that cost me another $600 to fix. The shop is an absolute mess with piles of papers, chip bags, and full ashtrays everywhere - the photos on the website are a false representation of the current shape of the business. The owner Eric wasn't expecting me on our agreed-upon appointment date, didn't have the part on hand as per our agreement, and upon pick up, handed me the wrong car key and didn't offer a receipt until I asked. I came in because of a knocking noise in the rear and thought it might be shocks. Nobody bothered to take the car for a drive to feel/hear what I was experiencing and instead he told me I need front struts. I was confused because the noise was in the back but went ahead anyway. They took 4 days to replace the front struts, did a terrible job leaving grease everywhere and tearing the CV boot - and left me not only with the problem I came in with but a brand new one. I then took it to another place who gave me excellent service. They drove the car, took 'before' pics and had me fixed in a single day. I don't leave many reviews but for some reason, 5280 has good reviews and it was the single worst experience I've had with a mechanic. I gave Eric a chance to make it right and respond, which he never did. I want to warn people away from 5280 and to the other shop, who took EXCELLENT care of me. I'm leaving a review for them as well so you can find them and stay away from this awful place. read more

I have never, in my life, picked my car up from a shop and have the owner show me the part on my car that was broken. I love better understanding the engineering behind cars in general, and this was a really cool experience. I trusted 5280 going into this repair, but that moment set into stone that I won't bring my Audi anywhere else... Very reasonable labor costs as well. read more

After my 'go-to' long term Vanagon shop owner in Denver closed his doors, I struggled to find a shop with the expertise and patience to work on my 83 Vanagon Westaflia. Eric and his team have been a godsend. Not only are they VW (and all German cars) repair ninjas, they are fantastic to work with and great fun. They're the BEST - I recommend them highly. read more

5280 Motorsports - Auto Repair Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Love these guys. I've used them twice for my Audi R8. One was to install aftermarket performance parts, the other to replace the alternator. I was very happy with the results and the price. Eric was very accommodating, and never got the impression that they want to squeeze as much $ as they can. I am sticking with these guys for sure. read more

5280 is an awesome Audi repair shop. I've brought all may Audis here for almost 10 years. The owner Eric is a nice and knowledgeable guy. Their prices and labor are on point. Every time I have work done they show me the old parts and let me know what needed to be replaced and why. They also have a great knowledge of what needs to be replaced and when. Not just the "Audi dealership states we need to do X repair at X time", they really know their cars. I cannot recommend these guys enough, they are honest, have great prices, and do great work. Thanks for keeping all my Audis running Eric! read more

Have used them twice now for my wife's Volkswagen and both times they have been great with identifying what is wrong, fixing it quickly, and charge a fair price. read more

This place went above above above and beyond to replace my car's whole engine at a time of supply chain HELL. Highly highly recommend.

My break vacuum pump went out on a Friday afternoon and I needed my Tiguan for the weekend for work. These guys squeezed me in and even gave me a ride home while they worked on it. Thanks fellas read more

Best Audi/Import repair shop in town. They have saved me multiple times from predatory practices at dealerships. I've cycled through a few repair shops over the last six years and settled here at 5280. They are the most honest, reasonable and capable of the crews I've worked with. read more

The owner Eric, is a great guy. A man of his word. I had a short in my 2003 Audi A6 that I could not figure out. He told me he would charge me five hours labor and he would fix it regardless of how long it took. It ended up taking over 40 hours to fix but he still stuck to his word and only charged me for five hours labor. I just hired him to do the front end of my same vehicle and he did a fantastic job. No need to take my Audi anywhere else but to this individual and his shop. Highly recommended and certainly trustworthy! read more

After 14 years and a combined 8 different VWs that Eric and his team have taken care of, I can easily say that they are the best and most trustworthy auto mechanics I've ever come across. They are expert professionals, so aren't in the 10-minute oil change business, and I fully believe you get what you pay for. Over the years, there have been multiple times when in the process of diagnosing the issue, it took multiple trips to 5280 to get to the problem, but Eric was always very honest and fair; often, he wouldn't charge me a dime. Good luck getting that service anywhere else. I'd rather someone tell me honestly "We haven't figured it out yet" than an undertrained 21-year-old take a guess and charge me out the hose. If you want to support a multi-generational and local business who has decades of experience, look no further. read more

The best Audi repair shop in Denver! The owner is super friendly and keeps you in the loop of all repairs that they plan on doing beforehand. They don't overcharge you on anything either. I highly recommend going here and will absolutely take my car back here if it needs anything in the future. read more

Nothing is worse than car trouble. When you love your car and you don't know who you can trust- Eric is your man. He will take care of you like it was his own. 5280 takes pride in their work, with more than skill, with passion. When I found 5280- it was for no more than a loose gas cap that had triggered my check engine light. I was anxious and they made it so easy. Eric let me roll in and hook it up to figure out the problem refusing any compensation. When my old clutch finally bit the dust, I needed a much bigger service. Eric's team of highly talented mechanics worked round the clock to get my car back to me and in better condition then before the problem even occurred. They won't do the bare minimum- if there is an area where they see further improvement, they go above and beyond what is expected to give you exceptional service, setting them apart from any other company competing for your business. Because it's not about the dollar here, it's about QUALITY and about relationships. 5280 will have my sole loyalty as long as I'm, not only in the Denver area but, in the state of Colorado! As an owner of a 2003 Audi A4, I am so relived I found this place. I seriously cannot THANK YOU GUYS enough for what you did for me. I Highly Recommend 5280 for any car concerns big and small. They ARE the Best! read more

5280 Motorsports - They showed me the parts taken out of my car and keep you in the know of everything they do. - Auto Repair Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I don't trust many people with my old Eurovan but these guys rock. Wouldn't turn over so I had it towed and it was back to me Jin less than 3 days. Eric knows his stuff and it's so refreshing to work with honest and quality mechanics. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Eric and the team at 5280 Motorsports have won my trust and will be my go-to mechanic for my VW. After years of dealer service, I finally decided to find a mechanic who knew what they were doing, but who wouldn't charge me a ton of money and try to up-sell me at every turn. I decided to try 5280 after reading other reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. They are very knowledgeable, the prices are fair, and I even enjoyed talking shop with Eric. When I noticed a small issue after the service, he was quick to rectify it and didn't hesitate to make things right. All in all, a very good experience, and I'll be back. read more

Eric and the team at 5280 Motorsports are fantastic. After bringing my vwJetta to a previous shop that took 3 days to misdiagnose my power steering issues, I brought it in to 5280 afterwards and they called me back within the hour! It was amazing how quick they found the cause and how honest they were with pricing, explanations, and recommended work. I really liked that when I came back to pick up my car, that I was introduced to the mechanic who worked on it and they even walked me through what, why and how my issues were happening- while showing me the old part/and point of damage. They were even fairly economical in acquiring parts and I truly left feeling confident or not taken advantage of. My car sounds and drives like new! It's such a relief - I am so happy I chose to come here for my volkswagen! read more

Can't believe our luck landing here and meeting Eric & Joel. Our Volkswagen van was coughing its way west. After hitting a couple mechanics in the midwest where American-made trucks are king, we weren't sure we'd ever make it to Denver - let alone, over the Rockies. Enter Eric. Problems solved. We left Denver, climbed Loveland Pass and Rabbit Ears and are still tooling our way west. read more

I've been taking my 2007 GTI for a couple years. Eric and his team are always fair and the quality of the work is top notch. They have done multiple oil changes as well as my timing belt and major 40k mile interval services. read more

How much of a nightmare do MOST people experience trying to find an honest, experienced, reliable mechanic? Well, my fears of this disappeared when I found Eric literally 4 blocks from my house. I take my Audi here and I never have to worry about ANYTHING. Stellar in EVERY sense of the word. read more

If you don't need to go to the dealership for service, don't. Erik and his crew have been taking care of my cars for over ten years- not one complaint here. They are wicked knowledgable, timely, honest and all around great guys. I panicked when I saw the shop on Tejon closed, but now they are in bigger and better digs just a few minutes away. read more

Eric ROCKS! I have been taking my VW Passat here for a couple of years now.... He actually informed me that he worked on the plans for my exact model! Kinda cool! If you are looking for someone who is honest, reasonable, and just an all around good guy....this is your place! Bonus for people who live in the hood (just ask)!! It is not often you bring your car some place concerned about your brakes, and they let you know that they are fine...no need for new ones! HONESTY is what keeps me going back to Eric. read more

Helpful, friendly, thorough, efficient and most importantly, effective! After the warranty expired on my Audi, I started taking my car to 5280. I think their service and help were better than what I received at the dealership. They carefully explained issues w. my car and gave me accurate timelines. Very highly recommended. read more

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for these guys. They not only fixed my car properly, (after Go Chevrolet truly effed it up) but also helped me through a "stressful car time" in my life. I love them! I'm sure you know how hard it is to find an honest mechanic, who knows their stuff. These guys immediately came off as trustworthy, knowledgeable, and approachable. Little background: I was totally taken advantage by Go Chevrolet when they sold me my used Passat. I was dreading all the work that needed to be done when my engine light came on 6 days after buying the car... (Go Chevrolet sold me a car that knowingly needed a new timing belt, a new turbo head, and had a faulty secondary air pump injector, and the wrong type of engine coolant in it. So, when I bought it needed almost $3000 worth of work - unbeknownst to me.) Then a colleague recommended 5280 Motorsports and everything kind of just got better. Eric and Stuey totally went above and beyond anything that I could imagine from mechanics. They drove me to work in the morning, and Eric actually lent me his car as I needed it for the weekend! What mechanic give you his car? These guys are awesome. Trust me on this one...do not take your car elsewhere! read more

How do I love Eric and 5280 Motorsports? Let me count the ways... 1. This guy comes from a long line of German car mechanics and knows his stuff. He can almost diagnose my car issues without even looking at it. I've been coming here for nearly 4 years now, and have a 14 year old car and have never had a bad experience. 2. They're helpful with maintenance planning, and letting you know what's urgent, and what needs to be fixed on the horizon which really helps with cashflow planning. 3. As a female, Eric almost so accommodating and helpful I almost feel like I'm taking advantage of him versus the other way around. I've dealt with so many shady mechanics in my life and hope I never have to again as long as 5280 is in business. 4. German cars are expensive to fix, and 5280 is very reasonable given their level of expertise and connections to local Audi/VW dealer circuit. It's dealership level of knowledge without the dealership service price. 5. Topper, the worst possible attack dog on the planet, is always there to greet customers, get some pets, and play ball. It's almost hard to say goodbye to him after I check out. Bonus, Eric is also helpful when it comes time to buying a new car too. Obviously, I'm going to stick with a German car since I've got the 5280 squad backing. p.s. Is it me or are most of the negative reviews from people out of state? It sure makes me wonder... read more

No bullshit, super trustworthy, affordable and efficient. Eric, the owner, is an angel in a Social Distortion t-shirt and his rot puppy Strummer is super cute to boot! I'm so grateful to 5280 Motorsports, they squeezed me in last minute and gave my car a good look before heading out on a long distance road trip. I needed to know my car was in good shape after being told otherwise by a shi shi fi fi mechanic. Eric laid my worries to rest and said there was only a minor issue with my car and printed out the diagnostic report to give to my mechanic in my hometown. Best mechanic experience I've had in a long time. THANK YOU! read more

To say that these guys saved my shorts is an understatement. I was driving cross-country when my car started having issues - I pathetically showed up at their door - they were welcoming, gracious, helped me work out possible options and ultimately went heroically above and beyond at every level to make sure that my car was healed and safe for me to continue my trip. These guys aren't just great mechnics (as the other reviews will attest to) they are great humans. Post-script - the bill was half what I thought it woud be. read more

Best auto repair shop in all of Denver! Eric the owner is the kindest, most caring not to mention knowledgeable man in the business. He cares about his customers and delivers outstanding customer service. Pricing very reasonable and Topper the (non) watch dog is the sweetest! I always leave there extremely satisfied and well taken care of. read more

If you are like me and LOVE your VW but don't love the prospect of finding a mechanic that understands Fahrvergnügen or German Automobile in general, then look no further than 5280 Motor Sports. Before finding 5280 Motor Sports I had a series of less than enjoyable episodes with multiple Volk Wagon dealerships and to be honest, I've found most dealership mechanics to be apathetic at best and downright rude and or inept at their worst. Thankfully I found Eric the owner operator at 5280 Motor Sports, in The Highlands just north of downtown. Eric always takes the time to show me what parts needed to be replaced and never pressures me into making an uninformed, rushed decisions or repairs. After being my only mechanic for the last three years I know that both my car and myself will always be taken care of. Whether it's just a routine oil change or a something more serious, I wouldn't trust my Jetta TDI with anyone else! And neither should you..... read more

Achtung! If you're thinking about taking your vehicle to Eric at 5280 Motorsports...I highly advise that you reconsider. I've been driving Audi's for 15 yrs and I've been to several of the shops in the Denver area; this shop should not be in business. Eric had my car for two months over the course of a three-month period. I had to take it back four times because he could not properly diagnose and resolve the issue. He claims to have replaced (multiple times) the entire power steering system (pump, rack, hoses, reservoir, fluid). After the first attempt, he returned the car and said verbatim, "the steering wheel feels tight, but the rack and pump just need time to communicate. Just drive it." Turns out the rack failed w/in two weeks which not only put myself, but passengers and other people on the road at danger. This was brought to Eric 's attention, but I was instructed to wait until they had availability. Absolute negligence. After several weeks and thousands of dollars later at 5280, I took the car to Salta Service and Performance. Steve had the car for two days and returned it in proper working condition. It's perfect! Two days...not two months! Steve disassembled the steering system and noticed a few items that were not properly installed (by 5280). Steve reinstalled as well as replaced the pump again (remember 5280 did it twice). As I stated in the beginning, I've been to several Audi mechanics in the Denver area and Salta is the only shop I can recommend. I take very good care of my car and I expect my mechanic to be more knowledgeable than myself. Not only are the guys at Salta genuinely nice, but they're professional, extremely knowledgeable and less expensive than some of the other shops in town. It should also be noted that Eric has yet to reimburse me for the additional costs spent at another shop to properly repair the car. read more

We were traveling cross country when our car broke down in the rockies. After a long tow into Denver it was 5pm and a snowstorm hit. Most mechanics were closed or closing, and we called two before 5280. Were were turned away flat, as they were too busy with other breakdowns from the weather. One even told us it would be expensive without seeing our vehicle, based on demand (we were driving a 2006 jetta, diesel). When we called Eric we were desperate, tired and cold. He told us to come over right away. We got the car there (could drive short distances before stopping) and Eric stayed late to figure out the problem. While doing so he noticed another issue that would have taken us off the road anytime. He physically showed us the damage, and while taking the time he told us about his background traveling Europe and working on old, new and prototype vehicles. He could not get the parts until tomorrow, so he made sure our family found a safe place to stay before going home to his own. The next day Eric and his team (shoutout to Church and Joel) got us back on the road quick, knowing we couldn't really afford to lose time on a trip like ours. Eric charged us a very fair price, and we have put 1500 miles on the vehicle since. I have had some pretty rough experiences with mechanics and being from out of town in a pretty rough situation without a lot of options, I feared we were in for the worst. That didn't happen, and it was the best experience we have ever had at a shop. If we lived in Denver we would be customers for life. We don't live there, but if you do - check out Eric's shop. You will not regret it. read more

Eric is honest, straightforward and easy to work with. I wouldn't consider taking my A3 to anyone else. He tells me what is going on and is quick to assess and fix my issues. Nothing like having a trusted neighborhood mechanic to do business with. Makes me never want to leave the Audi family. read more

Eric is the man. I bought an older (06) used Audi last year with low miles that has had tons of issues. After struggling to find a reliable mechanic, 5280 has been the answer to all my problems. They are honest, reliable, and the best in Denver. Repairs are always thouroughly explained and they help me with any questions after the service is complete. 100% recommend to anyone with vehicles in need of top notch service!! read more

I can't give these doods enough kudos. They know their stuff. They are very informative. They are honest. And Strummer the Rottweiler is adorable and a great mascot. read more
