Went in for a brake check and received such kind and thorough explanation for what's wrong with my brakes. Great service ! Highly recommend

Finding a place that you feel it's reliable & never fails you is hard to find. can't say how repairs if they do great but 1st I made and appointment which should be by who's scheduled is priority but 1st appt had my kid wait almost 3 hrs just find out mechanic was sent home and not even advised, made second appointment to be told wasn't even scheduled. poor way to keep clients. This doesn't sit well with me can't put my money into a location that shows you setting up a time is not even valid. read more

Jerry and his team are amazing! They seriously go above and beyond to make sure I'm satisfied with the service, every time. Can't recommend going here enough. read more

Just came in for a quick brake check, was hearing some funny noises. Andrew helped me out with all my questions and concerns. He was quick and efficient. He even took the time to explain things in a way I could understand, I had no idea there was an issue with my alignment. I felt like both me and my vehicle were in the best possible hands. Definitely recommend this location! Thank you Brakes Plus and thank you Andrew!! read more

I had to get a new alternator and battery. This location was very responsive and prompt with installing both. They are very nice and friendly as well. It's a pleasure to do business with people like this. Thank you for checking me out Cody! read more

Made an appointment at 6am for 1pm. Came a few minutes before one. The receptionist was extremely polite and kind. She checked me in. Within 40 mins the technician had answers for me on what was wrong. He explained everything very simple for me to understand. Told me that some things didn't need to be replaced and could be saved and I was very pleased by it. My total came to just under $350 which is great because others have quoted me over $900. They were able to get me right away and work on my car. Exceptional service! Plus they update everything in car fax for you which I love. Just the service alone will have me be back if I ever need anything done again when it comes to brakes or alignments. Plus the pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend them. read more

I received the best customer service. They called me an explained all the work that need to done to fix my car and called when the car was ready to pick up. These guys have taken care of my car for years. They are dependable and affordable. This location is convenient to work and shopping. Thank you, Nichole J, for all you help. I will be back. read more

I have been bringing all of out cars here for years. Most recently made an appointment for today at two when I went in at 1:55 I was told they called me at 7:45 to change it to later in the day. I received no calls no messages and then said that they had the wrong phone number Which again I've been coming here for years and never had this problem. I will be taking all of our cars elsewhere. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, courteous. Took care of my problem. eased my worries and got me all set.

TJ the manager really saved my b*tt this time around. Auto repair is really all about diagnostics, most competent mechanics can fix a problem once they know what the problem is but, that's the easy part. I ran my '03 vette into a baaaad pothole at night recently, really hammered the front right wheel. I was able to drive it the short distance home and waited to see the damage the next day. Not pretty - the wheel rim was really torn up and the 'nose' torn and trashed. Not safe to drive with that wheel. Short version, I got a new front right rim, had a tire shop mount/balance it then took the car to TJ and Brakes Plus for a 4 wheel alignment. TJ pointed out the rear right rim had a chunk out of it too, I'd not even seen. Ouch. So another new rim and tire balancing. The car was still making a bad road related noise, and pulling a bit too. All my Corvette 'expert' friends said, the tires have hidden damage, the steel belt has come loose inside, etc, and/or the wheel bearings got whacked. But both wheels balanced fine on the new rims, damaged tires didn't make sense really. Bearings, maybe. Back to TJ, asked him to give it a good look. Well again, he found a problem I had no idea of - the rear left rim is also bent! You could not notice the problem looking at it standing still, I didn't at least. That would explain a lot, and he recommended a good local shop that could straighten the rim. I had no idea that could even be done or certainly not locally; in my head I was checking off buying another $400 rim. TJ did suspect the front bearings a bit, his guys said they heard a bit of noise from them but at 110K miles, no surprise that they might be iffy. Once I get these urgent problems fixed, I'll be back for that work plus maybe new brakes. AND, he didn't charge me a dime, even after I kind of insisted I pay some kind of diag fee. You just don't find that kind of expert service and treatment often these days. read more

Brakes Plus - Two trashed rims, thanks to Denver potholes. - Auto Repair Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

They were efficient, friendly and seemed like a fair price. One month out and and no issues.

Made an appointment to get an alignment and a tire rotation done on my vehicle. I didn't think it would take very long, so I decided to wait. The waiting area is ok, I mean come on, it's a garage not the Hilton. Free wi-fi, coffee and a warm place to wait. This was my first time here and I was immediately greeted by Nick. They didn't bring my vehicle in right away but did bring it in about 15 minutes after my arrival. After another 20-25 minutes, Nick came out to tell me that my vehicle didn't need an alignment but they could not get one of the lugs off the rear wheel because it had been cross-threaded. He then asked me who did the last rotation and I told him Discount Tire. He said he'd be back in a few minutes and returned to tell me that his manager had ok'd it for them to break the wheel stud off and replace it since they work with Discount Tire on things like this. After another 20 minutes or so, they pulled my vehicle out of the bay and told me I'd have to go over to Discount to pick another lug because they are specific to Discount. Just of note, there was another woman waiting for her car while I was there. She had brought her car in because she had run over something and there was a noise coming from underneath her car. They pulled it in and determined it was a non-essential part and they could just remove it. They did so and sent her on her way at no charge. I really like the honestly and helpfulness of this shop. A big, thank you to Nick for helping me out with the tire. It would've been a really bad situation if I'd gotten stuck somewhere with a flat tire and unable to get that lug off. read more

Waaaaay cheaper than big O tires! TJ Gardner helped me out great energy kind guy! Quick & easy, super satisfied! read more

I come here for just about all my car needs now. They are fast and they won't jack up rates at all. They are very fair in their prices and will break it down for you if you ask. I have some more issues they are fixing on my car in the upcoming weeks and don't mind coming here at all. I also love that they will drive you back if you need that. It's a nice feature to give to their customers. They also are obviously knowledgeable about what they are doing. However what I like most is while they recommend you do x, y, and z they will never pressure you into it or push you hard to do it. They will give you an honest timeline saying it is critical or it's not that critical and you can afford to wait a month or a few weeks depending on what is going on with it. I really like that because it gives me time to budget out a little more. The place is also really clean and nice inside as well if you are going to wait. they also have WiFi which is great. So if you want to finish up on a paper or just watch a show you have WiFi to least connect to. read more

I just wanted to say I got the best customer service and the kindest people work there. After 1:15 in the afternoon they fixed my breaks, that were supposed to be done by a shop in Aurora. Helped me figure out my financial issues. From the front desk to the manager I was very impressed. Thank you all for your help. I will be back for my oil change and anything else you repair that I might need. I had the same guy for 20 years and after hitting his late 80s and almost dying. I hired the guy who didn't do my back breaks. I now have a new honest shop again. read more

Honest, efficient, and prompt service always. Great local auto repair shop. Would highly recommend.

I've been here twice now for brake work, and both times I had a great experience. The first time was a couple years ago. My brakes were grabbing in a funny way and were starting to whine. So clearly time for a check. A tech drove my car around the small lot and was able to tell pretty quickly what was wrong, just needed some new brake pads. Maybe it was a slow day, but they were able to get the car in immediately and replaced my front pads in a couple hours. They were honest and said the rears were looking good, so I appreciated not being swindled or overcharged for something I did not need. Fast forward and the ol' brakes started pulsing again. I knew the rears were due and wasn't sure if the rotors were going to need resurfacing. Given COVID, I started to book an appointment online but decided to call because I didn't know how long it would take, and I had another appointment for tire installation so wanted to make sure the work would be done in time. Glad I called, because turns out the online booking system is not always accurate. I spoke with Keith, who I remembered from last time, and he was quite helpful. He got me in at 9AM and ensured me that they would be finished by 1PM. Turns out my rotors were fine, just needed rear pads and brake line flush/fluid replacement. I noticed that Yelp had a check-in deal for 10% off the total service, so presented the offer at the time of payment. I may have been one of the first to use it, as none of the workers had seen it before. But they tried the code anyway and it worked. It saved me a good $40. To note, they also have coupons on their website for various services, if not using the Yelp deal. Highly recommended! read more

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. Upon returning for a 2nd visit, the technician pulls my car out of the lot and absolutely punches the gas up to 6500 RPMs on my turbo. I dont even drive it that hard! He didn't see me outside cause it was a 100 degree day but holy crap how unprofessional can you be??? Then 30 days after I spent $250 to repair my brakes they say I need to spend $350 more?!!? this after they just "fixed them". Horrible treatment of my car and as a customer. 0 STARS Awful experience. BE WARNED! read more

A special shout-out to Zack for getting me in and out in under an hour. He helped me snag a 4:00p appointment the day before, because I was in desperate need of an oil change. Overall great value for the service, turnaround time, and recommendations on upcoming replacements! Ask for Zack and he will get you taken care of! read more

First time here and they were so helpful! Fast service, affordable, great customer service! Will definitely come back for all my auto needs! read more

My brake light came on and I came to brakes plus the next day. Joel was amazingly helpful and honest. They got me in quickly and had excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this location. read more

This place is so great. I was worried I would have a huge bill- needing new brakes- but they assured me they're fine and I'm good to go.

Big O wanted over $ 1,000 for 2 front brakes. I knew this was way out of line. After dealing with them for years it looked to me like they were going into racket mode now that the price of everything is going up. Not just because of price but out of principle. Brakes Plus in Lakewood quoted $766 but the. charged like $366 because they could machine the rotors instead of replace them. I appreciate not just the savings but honest dealing. Mike read more

Excellent and timely service. Joel, the service advisor, even found me a coupon for some savings on my alignment. Who doesn't appreciate saving money? I recommend Brakes Plus on Colfax! read more

Most horrible location! My wife dropped our car off for warranty work any they tried to get over on us $700! The problem was the break light came on after only a few months of getting the brakes and sensors done not to mention the calipers. They call and said the front breaks a gone and down to the metal and so are the sensors (2) they wanted $700+, that did not sound right we told the no and they wanted to insist we can't drive it. I brought it home bring a machanic and looked at it, the front breaks where more then good but changed them anyway and replaced the sensor.....1 not not two it only got one in the front and one in the back. Light still on so I looked the back, the breaks where good but the sensor for the rear was not correctly installed by Breaks plus they left it hanging and the wire got eaten up by the wheel......! So be careful go to them on West Colfax......! read more

Went in for new breaks, told by the technician that I didn't need them and that they still had life left. Brakes continued to squeak so took the car back to have them re-looked at. The manager, TJ Gardner, acknowledged that it was their error and made it right by waiving the charges for new brakes which in today's economy makes a huge impact on financially struggling couple. This type of customer service is almost non-existent these days. My husband and I are extremely grateful. read more

First time here and they were very helpful and were quick but efficient with their service! Very grateful for them and their help!

Good professional service. This is my second oil change here after a nightmare experience at jiffy lube. This time my entire car smelled like oil inside, checked under the hood and they forgot to screw the oil cap on. I returned and they made it more than right for me. I will be returning and recommend this place !! read more

I took the used car I just bought in there to have the brakes gone over. They could have told me anything and I would have probably had the work done. They told me that after going over the entire brake system nothing needed to be done to my car. They charged me $0. Honesty. What a rare treat these days..... read more

On 2018-09-21 we purchased a new set of four Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires for our 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman. Prior to the purchase we had taken the car to Schomp Mini for an oil change at which time they found no problems with the car. At Pep Boys we were informed that they couldn't remove a rear hub and it'd cost an additional $606 to repair. As this is our only vehicle we were at there mercy and authorized the repair, which in total cost $1287.95. I purchased the 3yr wheel Alignment special at that time for $139.99 and on 2019-06-10 I went back to the same location 1745 for an alignment. They completed the work giving the vehicle a clean bill of health BUT they never provided me the alignment diagnostic page indicating any problem. Fast forward to 2020-04-10 and we took the Mini to store ID: 1749 on Jewel in Lakewood for an alignment. They told us that the front tie rods would require replacing at a cost or $709.16. Fully understand normal wear and tear on vehicles but less than 11months later store 1749 informs me that I'd need new tie rods versus store 1745 not inform me of any issues when they supposedly did the alignment 2019-06-10!! On Aug 20th we again took the mini back to the West Colfax location for another alignment and they said the toe adjustments were missing. Ironic isn't it that the Jewel location does something to the tie rods BUT is able to complete the alignment and the Colfax location says they couldn't because the toe adjustments are missing. The only repair shop to touch this car was Pep Boys and each location presents a different problem that's all related to the same area of the car. Folks if you need any service to your vehicle I highly recommend that you take your car anywhere but not Pep Boys. Service sucks and they'll rip you off. read more

Been twice so far for different issues and they've been extremely flexible/efficient and reasonable in price. They even took the time to call and explain to a second party what they were fixing. They also did not treat me like an idiot... even though I sound like one when I talk about car stuff!! read more

I scheduled a same-day appointment and found the staff to really quick and nice. They inspected my issue within 20 mins on a Saturday and had it fixed within an hour and a half. The cost was more than I wanted to spend, but seemed fair. I would definitely go back again. read more

I got my brakes done on my Kia Optima and I couldn't believe how helpful the employees were, especially the general manager TJ. Him and his team really took care of my car and was straight forward with everything that needed to get done. I appreciate the honesty and I will be coming back! Pa Vang and Jack Girard read more

This review may be premature. But, yesterday, I took my car to Discount Tire for rotation, and the guys there thought both my front and back brakes were worn to nothing. They advised I go to Brakes Plus. Brakes Plus was able to get me in same day. They said it's just my back brakes that needed replacing, and frankly, it wasn't as urgent as the others guys thought. With Covid, I didn't want anyone to get in the driver's seat, especially since the Brakes Plus mechanic didn't wear a mask. They weren't used to (yet?) making accommodations. They did let me drive my car into the bay, but didn't really know how to check the brakes with me behind the wheel, especially since it's so noisy in the shop. I think we got it, though. Time will tell. The brakes worked to get me home, but who knows if that's front or back or both working? Just in contrast, Discount Tire, though they apparently know nothing about brakes, did ask if I wanted to drive the car in and out of the bay, so they are more prepared, and also offer lots of outside seating, as opposed to one concrete table and benches around it, which don't allow for social distancing at Brakes Plus. So, my suggestion is that Brakes Plus in Lakewood get some new protocols for Covid in place. And get ALL employees to wear a mask, please. They were $100 less than the dealer for lifetime warranty on the brakes, so we'll see how they do. If they do well, I'll upgrade this review. I may still take the car back for an alignment. It's a good price, and they showed me how at least one of my tires is wearing on the edge. read more

I moved from Texas a year ago and need my brakes check. The dealership wanted $169 for diagnosis, Brakes Plus offered a free check. I made an appointment on line and they took my car right away. TJ the manager explained everything to me-I only need the front pads and rotors machined. He did not try to push me into doing the back brakes as they were fine. The best part-they were able to do the work right then and it was completed quickly. The staff treated everyone with respect. They offer other services and I will be taking my car there for those routine services. Thank you TJ! read more

We had our brakes replaced on our Subaru Outback. Every aspect of the experiences was stellar. Made the appointment online, All services were explained thoroughly and a solid estimate made. Pickup time and cost came through as promised. Highly recommend. read more

There's nothing sexy or glamorous about buying a new set of brake pads. Nothing at all. But, it's a part of being an adult and keeping yo'self safe. I came to the Lakewood Brakes Plus when my RAV4 started making some horrible noises. I knew right away that I needed to replace the brake pads, but wasn't sure who to take Anthony (above mentioned RAV4) to. I decided on Brakes Plus, due to their stellar reviews. However, when I called they were booked all that day and I couldn't bring my car by the next day. They were booked on the weekend, too. I asked if they had a dropbox for my keys - which the manager told me that they did have. I was nervous about driving my car too much, so I dropped off my keys and was on my way. The manager gave me a call an hour or so later, explained what was going on, and said what he recommended. The prices he gave me were fair, so I told him to go ahead and do the recommended work. He called me back at noon and Anthony was ready for pick up! All the guys I interacted with were super nice. Plus, I didn't even have to wait in the waiting room! They also have some super cool coupons on their website, which helped a little bit. I will definitely be back here for an oil change too! read more

Brought car in for ignition replacement after Jerry quoted a price of $300. Car would start when brought in, but key was sticking. After a couple of hours, was called and told price was $1,000. Told them not to perform service, and when I went to pick up car ignition was SEVERELY damaged with key stuck in#2 position, hanging out halfway and unable to turn. Car was let in neutral with window open and no way to close. Manager TJ Gardner claimed that the car was already damaged and refused to be accountable for the condition and damages to ignition, but would fix it for$700. Called locksmith who came to site and repaired for $300. Employees TJ Gardner and Jerry were rude, dismissive, be and denied any responsibility. Waiting to hear from Regional Manager Brian before filling claim with SoS. read more

Update: I went in to see about my brake pads and rotors being replaced. I wanted to price compare against the price I paid online for parts. They wanted about $956 for all pads and rotors. Insane, right? Here's what I paid online: (all OEM manufacturer) Bosch Front Pads - $66 Zimmerman Front Rotors - $130 Bosch Rear Pads - $60 Zimmerman Rear Rotors - $110 That's $366. Granted they have labor and all, but 1K for brakes? That's almost dealer price and not anywhere close to OEM. Their alignments are the cheap, but everything else is sky high! read more
