    Christine's melted wire (upper left)
    Juliann S.

    TLDR Summary: Amazing, over-the-top service. Ethical, affordable, honest, thorough. About four years ago, I purchased a 2006 VW Beetle convertible with under 75K miles for a great price. I thought I was lucky. Today I feel like, as the song goes, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all. We have put thousands in repairs into this car. Two months ago, we had it completely gone over with a mechanic in Albuquerque (where we live). All codes cleared, ran well...unless it got hot and I was in stop and go traffic. Then the ghost in the machine appeared causing random stalling and surging. After discussions with a VW tech and YouTube University research, we came to understand that it was likely the vapor canister vent valve causing a vapor lock. We bought the part from VW, but waited (stupidly) to install it until I got back from a road trip to Colorado for work. Bad move. Long story short(er), I had to buy another one in Raton, on the road, having left the original at home. Next I tried to find someone to install it in Raton. No go, and - on the contrary - the mechanics in Raton tried to upsell me on some repairs I didn't need, berated me for researching and buying the part, and would not install it. I fueled up, let the car cool down for 1/2 hour, and pushed through to Colorado Springs. As I pulled in to my friend's the overheated car was stalling again. I knew I needed to get this part installed. A friend in Manitou Springs connected me to Auto Tech Plaza, having used them before and finding them efficient, reliable and affordable. They were everything she said and more. After agreeing to install my non-OEM (but accurate) part, even explaining why and how it differed from the one on my kitchen table over 400 miles away, they took my cell number and told me they would call when it was ready. Less than an hour later, I got the call. Unfortunately, it was still throwing a "check engine" light. Sean and the team neither tried to take advantage of me, nor let me go without getting to the bottom of the issue. Unfortunately, Christine (as I am now calling my car) had decided to become non-communicative - not responding to any of their three sensors. Sean came out and provided updates at every turn. It felt similar to when my kid was in the hospital for a broken arm. Ultimately, the tech made calls to his VW expert friends, and dug deeper under the hood to find some nearly melted-through communication lines (probably not the technical term). They repaired them, and were able to pull the codes, which indicated that Christine was not a fan of off-brand parts (picky jerk). They assured me she was road-worthy, and offered a check up if I was concerned on my way back to 'Burque Monday or Tuesday...and did not charge me an additional cent on top of the initial repair! Truly above and beyond. Huge gratitude. Christine drove me back up to Manitou Springs in rush hour traffic in 99 degree heat without issue. I am so much more comfortable and confident in my safety thanks to Auto Tech Plaza's Team. Good luck for once!

    FRAUD!! I went here in November for an oil change because I found a Groupon for one. Well ever since then my car has had many issues. I left and 2 months later ended up needing 1200 dollars worth of work done because of a oil housing leak. They also said that my ac filter and blower motor needed replaced. I declined the service and they ended up throwing the dirty filter back in there causing leaves to shoot into the vents. The next day I noticed a very LOUD noice every time I turned on my heater. I dealt with it for awhile because I was pregnant at the time and couldn't reach the area to replace it. I finally buy a new blower motor and pop out the old one to find PEANUTS stuffed into it causing the loud noises. They wanted to charge me 300 bucks to fix this when I know they caused the problem although I can't prove it. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THESE THIEVES!!!

    Only car place I've been to that doesn't take advantage of you, especially being a woman. Quick, honest, and friendly service.

    I had a tire blowout and came here the following day to get it replaced…read more I was told that all four tires were pretty worn and it would be a good idea for me to replace all four now rather than later. I figured why not, so I got all four tires replaced, and it was a little more expensive than I thought, but I know eventually I'd have to do it. The two options I was given was about $300 difference and I went with the more expensive tires and the total was about $1248. Changing the tires out, took more longer than what I was originally told. I ended up waiting about two hours but glad I got it done. Everyone at the register was as communicative and friendly as could be. I didn't seem to have a problem except for not wanting to wait in their lobby. But that kind of thing is expected when you're waiting for service at any auto shop. And a nutshell as soon as I drove my truck out of the shop, I noticed how much better it drives because the wheels are nice and firm. And I'm glad I was able to get tires that are better for the Colorado winter weather. So if you're in the area and need a tire replaced, I highly recommend a TWAR. Thanks again for hooking me up with new set of tires!

I will not be disrespectful or disrespectEd! Too old for a service person with an attitude!

    Absolutely amazing service plus some they helped me not only fix my car to get back halfway across…read morethe country on top of that they allowed me to stay in my car while fixing it in their parking lot due to the fact that I am from Washington and not Colorado they are absolutely amazing and their Services 10+ stars

    Very Disappointing Experience I had a really frustrating…read moreexperience at the Barnes location. I came in for an alignment, wheel balance, and rotation. Before the work started, I was upfront that I had just replaced the front and rear suspension and that my tires are over 10 years old (since I know some shops won't service older tires). They went ahead with the work anyway, completed the service, and charged me. Immediately after, my car had multiple issues: It pulled to the right The steering wheel had a noticeable shake The rear toe was way off When I brought it back, they refused to rebalance the wheels, saying the tires were too old, and also said they couldn't redo the alignment because they "don't do suspension work." This made no sense, considering I had already told them all of this before they agreed to do the job in the first place. It felt like they were quick to take my money but unwilling to stand behind their work or fix their mistakes. I ended up taking my car to the Interquest location, and they fixed everything properly. They were able to adjust the rear toe (it was not maxed out like Barnes claimed), and they rebalanced the wheels, which were significantly off. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with the Barnes location -- it felt like the technicians either didn't know what they were doing or didn't care to do the job right. On the other hand, Interquest restored my confidence and did the job correctly. I would not recommend the Barnes location.
