This shop was taken over as an expansion of a Toyota shop down the hill. Molly the receptionist is awesome. Mason the owners son seems to be good young man. Scott the owner is a hot head that yells and hides behind he is "looking out for his work crew". SITUATION: Took my 16 year old daughter's Toyota Highlander there for a new timing belt and new water pump. Checked the car in just fine, said hello to Mason (he's one of the mechanics there as well as the owners son) and left. Touched base with Molly around lunch to check progress as we were determining whether we would need to drive her to work. Molly said that the techs were out to lunch but she knew they had questions they needed answered presumably by Scott the owner. That was a little unnerving as I know changing a timing belt surely isn't just an oil change but it's also not a major motor rebuild. I said ok and we agreed to touch base a little later for an update. I called back later for the agreed update call. On that call I asked how was progress going and Molly stated it was going ok, that the "new guys" are working in it b/c Mason was busy with his own work. That put another doubt in my mind. My daughter hasn't had her license very long and with all the recent and continuous wrecks (some with fatalities) I wanted reassurance that I had qualified folks working on her car. I don't have lengthy experience with this shop. I can just imagine something going wrong and the motor dying, her loosing power steering, loosing most of her breaks and possibly not finding a place to pull off the road. Thats why I needed reassurance. I tried to approach this conversation as a dad asking safety questions. Molly said Scott the owner was there and she put me in hold while she went and got him. Mason the son picked up instead and tried to reassure me that he did have input and was overseeing the "New Guys". I asked if the "New guys" were just guys they hired off the street, if they had any training certifications, reiterated what Molly said about Mason "that he had his own projects" and that the "New Guys" were working on it. He told me that he did. I said ok because I didn't just want some Homeboys working on this car without oversight. Mason and I put my fears at ease and we scheduled a pickup soon. Within minutes Scott the owner called me back, started confronting me over and over about how he was the end all be all and that everything went through him. He only had faith in his warranty because everything had to clear his filter.., Ugh!!! OK Scott,, all good. Then he challenged me on my right to ask to get clarity on his service after the prompts that Molly gave me about "new guys", had to get "questions answered" about doing the job all the while raising his voice and talking over me to a point I had to say his name 5 or 6 times to even stop his tirade (while he was on speaker phone as I drove my daughter to work). He kept bringing up me using the word Homeboy as if it were a derogatory thing. If he would have been on the call that I had with his son he might have had better context. I asked if the new guys were just guys coming off the streets like any old homeboy or did they have any automobile mechanic training. How was I to know. I was just told new guys that needed questions answered and that Mason was busy on his own work. I don't think I've ever had someone treat me so disrespectfully. This was not about protecting his work crew. This was about him trying to "win" a conversation (with volume). I had every right to visit with him to be reassured of my daughter's safety. This guy was a loose cannon toward me. I've lived up the hill for 35 years and always try to reward local companies. I actually told Molly when I picked up the car (while someone was peaking out the curtains like a child) that I'd like to clear the air with Scott. She said he already left. I gave him an option (through a message to Molly) to call me to clear the air (again) today , the next day. Of course nothing. This guys an ass, too bad bc people around him look to different. I don't deal well well with Power Trippers! I would avoid Scott and this shop like the plague. There are too many choices up the hill now. read more

Colorado Toyota Specialists - Auto Repair Near Me - Conifer, Colorado

I've been a customer of CTS for nearly 10 years now. They've always taken great care of my FJ Cruiser, they complete their work on time, and they have always charged me a fair price for exactly what I needed. I'm so grateful to have a good and trustworthy mechanic in my community. I recommend CTS to anyone looking for shop to take their Toyota! read more

I had two " Toyota repair shops " tell me I needed a $3000 head gasket repair so I thought I would get a third opinion from joe at Colorado Toyota Specialists and he fixed my problem in five minutes and $20 bucks later do to a faulty radiator cap. This is the difference of the Denver money grabbers and a true quality Toyota mechanic. I'm having them do my timing belts etc because I trust them. By far the best shop that I have found in Colorado. I own 4 Toyota's and will keep going back. A+++. Love these guys. read more

After taking my car to another shop for an inspection and getting a very expensive quote for repairs, I knew I needed a 2nd opinion. After bringing it to CTS, I got a very different opinion about what actually needed to be fixed. It was a fraction of the price and they were able to do some of the work on the spot. They also gave me a plan to do the other repairs over time to better manage my budget. It's so hard to find an honest mechanic these days so I cannot say enough great things about this place! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place! Thank you for being professional, honest and a great local business! read more

Very helpful and accommodating. Worked hard to get me next day appointment for a pre buy car check. Customer friendly and focused.

I moved here a year ago and have been using CTS since. They are incredibly professional and very honest. Joe has been so helpful and honest about what really needs to be done for my car. I can't recommend CTS enough! read more

These guys are awesome! We bought a used Lexus from the owner and it didn't pass inspection, but he told us to bring it back and repaired it free of charge... twice! (Two different broken parts.) We went back a year later with an unrelated issue that the dealer told us would cost $1k to fix and they fixed it for $110! We live in Denver, but the 30 min. drive to CTS is so worth it. read more

CTS used to service my Tacoma and my Prius yeas ago when I lived here in CO and I was always satisfied. While visiting on vacation this summer I had trouble with my Rav 4 and, once again, Joe efficiently diagnosed and treated the problem, which turned out to be minor. As always, he was thorough, honest, clearly communicated and fixed the issue for a minimal cost. I hope to move back to CO soon and have peace of mind that I already will have a trusted mechanic here. Thank you, Joe! read more

I love CTS! Joe is an awesome Toyota mechanic, he knows what he's doing. I took my '92 Cruiser in for repairs and it works like a dream. I feel safe and confident driving it anywhere. Being a female, I don't get treated with respect very often. Joe and all the employees I encountered were very respectful and courteous. Everything was explained clearly and the prices were quite reasonable. read more

This is a good shop. I just bought my first Toyota and took it in yesterday for a check over. The prices seem reasonable, but then the last vehicle I had maintenance on was a BMW X5, so anything is reasonable compared to that. I was really excited to find out that they do custom 4x4 work and have already referred my brother to them since we are both planning to do mods to our trucks. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Colorado Toyota Specialists. I brought my '97 Land Cruiser in for some serious work. They were kind, patient, clearly communicative, friendly and honest. They gave me a fair quote and time projection. They finished the work ahead of schedule, provided me a loner car, and came in below the "worst case scenario" possible price. Not to mention that they did fantastic work! This is a good, honest shop. I will be taking my truck to them exclusively. read more

I am so thankful for CTS, they are so helpful, honest, and quick! I got a quote for work at Big O for $1,600 and CTS fixed my problems for $300! Big O will fix things that aren't broken. Thank you guys, you're the best! read more

We had auto issues driving up from Denver. CTS helped up out immediately. Took time out to look at car. Found a simple repair... Spark plug wires. Honest guys and nice personalities. Thank you for being honest and available to help out. read more

Took my 4Runner here. It hadn't had proper power since I moved to the mountains. I'd taken it to two Toyota dealerships, and they did not fix it. Since I brought it in to CTS, it's been running better than ever. The guys at CTS are pleasant to deal with, helpful with advice and don't overcharge. They even have a loaner. I'm so happy I found this shop. read more
