Honestly. They fixed my car a year ago for a water pump and over heating issue and then my car…read moreoverheated almost exactly a year later. I came in to see what happened and they said that the little plastic coolant pipes that go to the water pump were dissolving. I'm honestly quite annoyed because I feel like this is something that should have been noticed a year ago and I highly doubt this wear and tear appeared in a year on a car that already had 170,000 miles. I ended up going to another guy that actually cares about older cars (mine's a 2006) and he figured out it was another gasket in my engine, not a head gasket like they were claiming. Applewood wanted to charge me $4800 in total for a car I paid $3000 for. My mechanic was able to do it for $560 because he just replaced the radiator cap and plastic gasket that gets worn down at almost 170,000 miles each time. I also am a woman so when I called them they used a very sarcastic tone with me and kept gaslighting me on the issue. Sure a head gasket repair may have fixed the problem but I would have wildly overpaid. I added my inspection report that was wildly overstated and would have costed me $4800 for something that they should have already replaced or told me about considering they had replaced my entire water pump and the hose connecting to it.

This past month (Sept 2025) during an inspection of my wife's 4Runner it was found that the head gasket was badly compromised allowing coolant to leak into a cylinder. Jess gave frank, professional advice on costs of repairs, time frame requirements or any unexpected issues to provide me with the information for me to make informed decision. This major engine problem could have been a nightmare but the crew of ATLR went above and beyond to get the repairs done well, rapidly and correctly. I have had ATLR maintain and repair my family's vehicles exclusively for over 20 years and have not once been disappointed with the quality of work, pricing or courtesy. I highly recommend ATLR for vehicle repairs and normal periodic maintenance in the Denver area. A well deserved 5 star rating

Unbelievable . I took my 1988 silverado with the 700r4 transmission there because the company I…read moreused last October to rebuild the transmission said that my truck shifted just fine! It wouldnt shift from 1st to 2nd until about 20-22 mph. And then it wouldnt shift from 2nd to 3rd until about 35 mph. I told the place who rebuilt it that for the 30 years I owned the truck, and after a rebuilt transmission in 2000, it shifted from 1st to 2nd at about 15 mph, and 2nd to 3rd about 28mph. The said it shifted like it was supposed to. I took my truck to this place and James, who took it for a test drive, noticed that there was no downshift either! Anyway, after he adjust the detent cable and we drove it, I could tell immediately that it was back where it should have been!! I drove it and my truck was back!! If I ever need something done to my vehicles, I am taking it to these folks! They went above and beyond as far as I am concerned!!

Until last year, my 20 year old Honda spent its whole life on the east coast. Several of these…read moreyears were in State College, PA -where they salt the roads pretty heavily. So? Why does that matter? Fast forward to now. The exhaust on the car was getting loud and seemed like it was "falling off." We obviously wanted to get this looked at, because the problem certainly wasn't getting any better and potentially breathing in carbon monoxide isn't good. A search turned up automotive evolution, so we went in at 8:30 am today - right on time for our appointment that we set via phone a couple of days prior. The staff were friendly and got the car looked at quickly. As it turns out, it muffler was basically falling off! The exhaust pipe was rusting through behind the muffler. On top of that, the muffler itself also had corrosion perforation / holes in it. No wonder it was sounding like crap and we heard it knock around over the horrible, pothole ridden colorado roads. My car was taken in at 8:30 am, and we had the car back before 11 am, closer to 10:30 am. The price for the exhaust work was reasonable and the quality of the parts and work seems very good. I like that they provide you with photos of the issue and give a report of what they find and/or recommend. Unlike a dealership or big national repair chain, there were no upsell attempts or pressure to pay for things I didn't need. Their price for oil changes appeared pretty in-line with local quick lube shops. The waiting area isn't bad: there are a couple of tables to sit at, a water dispenser with cups, and a restroom. It also sounds like they can make arrangements for rental cars if you need to leave your car for a more protracted repair. While I don't like spending money at a mechanic, that's the reality of having an older car. I definitely won't hesitate to return to automotive evolution in the future and recommend them to anyone who needs a car repair place.
