When it comes to getting your car worked on who do you trust? I needed rear brakes for my 2012…read moreMazda. It used to be so easy to fix my own car but now? I asked a good friend of mine who was a mechanic in the US Army where I should go after I figured out I couldn't easily get it done myself. He recommended Les Schwab! I contacted them, got an estimate, and had AAA tow my car there! Yep I had to have it towed, brake fluid started leaking. This Les Schwab did the job, did it right, and for a very fair price! And...I have a great warranty....something I couldn't have given myself! They also gave me a Veteran Discount! Now I can say I Trust this Les Schwab, and you should check them out! Good job team Schwab! I appreciate you!

Took it to Les Schwab the next morning and the got both repaired. Alejandro was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He had the issue diagnosed promptly and did a thorough inspection of all four tires. He is truly the example of what a model, service tech should be. Highly recommend Les Schwab for all of their available services. They offer many that are complimentary, once you have an account with them.

BG Automotive? More like "BS" Automotive. The one star is for an oil change (since 0 stars is not…read morean option). BG Auto IS SHADY, smooth talking for sure, but A RIP OFF. STAY AWAY. This is a lengthy description, but it's not half the story. To all the glowing 5 star reviewers - check your invoices. The problem started with their "courtesy inspection" accompanying the oil change, where half of their recommendations (deemed red flag "Requires Immediate Attention") ultimately turned out to be mostly unnecessary and absurdly expensive. That became apparent only after paying. My bad, of course, I obviously should have asked to see a detailed estimate prior to the work. The initial estimate did not provide parts or labor detail & appeared to indicate the work was part of a "complete tune up." Upon dropping off the truck, "Service Advisor"Jesse stated that Champion copper spark plugs had been factory installed on 2013 RAM 2500s, so that was best & what BG would install. Classic BAIT & SWITCH: BG charged $508.48 for a set of 16 plugs! When I challenged the bill, asking if "kryptonite plugs" were installed instead, Jesse indicated, no, the copper plugs were used... then he checked his computer & stated, actually no, in fact the [far] more expensive NKG iridium plugs were installed. "They're much better because they last up to 100,000 miles," he emphasized. I replied, "Great. BG just changed out NGK iridium plugs that had been in the engine already, with only 60,000 miles on them." The WORK WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. Also on the bill was a "TOTAL FEES" charge of $175.77 (yes, that specific), but with ZERO DETAIL of what those fees were for or how they were calculated. Jesse couldn't provide that detail either, "It could be shop supplies, or hazardous disposal - you know, those state regulations - it could be almost anything." Note there were no hazardous materials involved with this work, such as a tire or battery disposal fee. (Google search indicates: In Colorado, shop fees are usually calculated as a percentage of the labor cost (e.g., 5-10%) and are often capped at a maximum amount (e.g., $25 to $50). Also, Colorado statute requires the repair invoice to have some kind of description of these fees, and further, "a description of each part by name and identifying number." Nowhere on the invoice was the type of plugs installed specified, either. You get NADA DETAIL from BS Automotive. Finally, while repair shops typically mark up parts 70-100% of wholesale price, BG is marking up parts in the ballpark of 100% of retail price. (If you can pry out of them the parts brand they say they'll use, you can easily verify this with a Google search at their counter.) They should be ashamed and embarrassed for what they're charging the hardworking folks of Longmont. When pressed to justify the charges, Jesse insisted they were competitive, "within 5% of other local repair shops." More BS. Comparing apples to apples (parts & labor only), the local dealership quoted over $200 less, the Loveland repair shop I've frequented in the past was over $400 less (obviously, checked after the fact...). If the handful of other shops Jesse quoted are actually within 5%, they are ripping us off too. Jesse would not budge on the final bill, but he did offer to comp me an oil change. As if! I had already told him I would never set foot in BG Automotive again. However, I would take a call from the BG Automotive (Owner) to provide the rest of the story about this pathetic BG encounter.

The repair work they did on his car was excellent. Fast forward to this August and now I have my daughter's car (Toyota Highlander) in Fort Collins and we have just completed an inspection of the car. A shout out to the service writers. Marty saw us initially Wed. at 8:00 and we realized with my appointment at a glass shop, that the inspection couldn't be completed in a timely manner. He then proceeded to work us in the next day. Brendan was the service writer that took us in for our Thurs. appointment and after inspection, explained everything that was recommended based on the mileage of the car. Being just enough of a gearhead to get me in trouble but know what is needed and what is not, I was very impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the inspection. I never felt pressured to buy any parts, products, or services. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. Brendan and Marty were very friendly, engaging, and professional. I also got a ride back to the place where I was staying and the driver (Kevin) was very easy to talk with. Just like an uber driver. I trust my daughter's car will be in good hands. repair order 67731

We were told the transmission was fine. We took it to another shop where we discovered the transmission was shot.

They told me I needed to bring the car in for an inspection, which I did. They said they perform a full inspection, and after a few hours, they gave me a report stating that, in addition to the rear brakes, it was "urgently needed" with a red exclamation icon to replace the water pump/alternator belts. The person at the front desk, XXXX was very impatient to have me decide whether I would ask them a service or not at the spot. They attached a photo and claimed the belts had cracks and damage, but the photo was unclear. Since I don't know much about cars, I agreed to the replacement. After the service was completed and I paid, I noticed the receipt said "serpentine belts replaced," which alarmed me because I had replaced the serpentine belt just the previous month. I didn't realize that the water pump belt is referred to as the serpentine belt. I went back to question them, and XXXX at the shop showed me the old belts. Of course they looked almost new (one completely IS new) and had no visible cracks or damage. I told him, "You replaced the belt that I had just replaced last month." XXXX responded by just saying, "Sorry, it looked damaged," but did not provide a satisfactory explanation. After this experience, I had my battery--which they had diagnosed as "weak"--checked at another shop. The technician there told me the battery was fine and did not need to be replaced. This experience felt like a complete rip-off. I will not return to this shop. If you are not knowledgeable about cars, be very very cautious, and always ask for another opinion at another shop(s). Based on my experience, they may recommend unnecessary repairs.

I want to sincerely thank the team at CBA Fort Collins for the incredible kindness and…read moreprofessionalism they showed us. We were over 2,000 miles away from home when the check engine light came on in my diesel truck. As anyone who owns a diesel knows, that's not something you want to see when you're far from home and facing a long drive back. I was stressed and worried about whether we would make it home safely. The team at CBA got us in quickly, took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue, and patiently explained everything they found. More importantly, they gave me peace of mind by assuring me that my truck was in good shape to make the trip home. That reassurance meant more than they probably realize. What truly stood out was how they treated us as people, not just customers. They provided a shuttle ride for us to a local restaurant while they inspected the truck and then picked us up afterward. When it was all said and done, they didn't charge me a single dime for their time, diagnosis, or assistance. In today's world, it's easy to become cynical, but experiences like this remind me that there are still honest, hardworking, God-fearing people who genuinely care about doing the right thing. The integrity, generosity, and kindness shown by the entire team left a lasting impression on us. Thank you, CBA Fort Collins, for taking care of us when we were far from home and for turning a stressful situation into a blessing. We will never forget it, and I highly recommend your shop to anyone looking for honest mechanics and exceptional service.

I will no longer be using CBA for any further work all because of David at the Foco location. For…read moresome back story, I replaced my brakes at this location in March 2025 because my sister and I have been going to CBA for years. I had a great experience. Since then I have moved to Johnstown so four months ago when I needed an oil change I thought I would go to the Berthoud location because I thought they would be just as great as this location. Wrong. They were horribly rude to me and I questioned if I would ever come back to a CBA at all but I remembered the FoCo location was always so kind to me. Wednesday 7/29/26 I called and scheduled an appointment for a COURTESY INSPECTION because my brakes have been grinding after only a year. I had the unfortunate pleasure to get paired up with David. I told him about my Berthoud experience and he seemed really bothered. He told me that was his very close friend and he personally trained him and proceeded to ask a ton of questions before taking my car back for the inspection. I also added an oil change. 30 minutes later David comes back with the inspection paperwork in hand and tells me he can't figure out what's wrong with the brakes but they are metal on metal and I just need to replace them. I ask him if he knew what caused them to grind down so aggressively after only a year? I only city drive between FoCo and Loveland and I have been to Denver twice since replacing my brakes. He told me they don't know and couldn't figure it out either, but the inspection was done and the only thing he could do was give me a small coupon for replacement. I told him I didn't feel comfortable having him replace my brakes a second time if he couldn't tell me what the issue with them was. He said they couldn't figure it out during the inspection and asked if when I go to another shop if I could call him back to let him know what the issue is. Excuse me????? Absolutely not. I left and decided to go to another shop. I grabbed the paperwork David had given me to show them the inspection report and photos and guess what? IT SAYS CUSTOMER DECLINED COUTESY INSPECTION. How did I decline a service I scheduled an appointment for? I was so angry I had to wait several days to post this review to remain more professional. This was a horrible experience and David is 100% the reason I will never come back.
