Very pleased with the honesty of this place. I had taken my car to another place for an oil change. They did a checkup and said I needed to replace the lower control arms and the rear brake pads, which they could do that same day for over $1000. I said no and later took the car to Boulder Valley Automotive to see if this work was really necessary. The very friendly Boulder Valley person called at the promised time and said they had checked it out and driven it and no, there was no need to replace anything, and they didnt charge anything for determining that. I really appreciate their honesty and not taking advantage of me when I wasnt sure if there was a problem. I will certainly take my car to them when I need repairs in the future!

Amazingly helpful and great customer service! Took in a towed car and fit it in through a couple days and saved a ton of money and they were trustworthy w/great communication. Highly recommended !

What a hidden gem in Boulder! Twice I have used this place to fix my cars and these guys are over the top amazing! This time, Darren and Chuck helped me more than I could ever thank them for! Its such a relief to find a local, trusted business these days. I will always use them and definitely recommend them to everyone I can. Thank you so much for your amazing help and customer service today! Hopefully I dont have to come back, but if I need car help, this is my place!

Mike and Curtis are 2 men that have worked on our car. They got us in and out so quickly. Their prices are extremely fair. I drive a 2003 Ford Explorer and it is in tip top shape after these guys worked on it and fixed it so well.They fixes my alternator and my starter!I wouldnt take my car anywhere else! Its a great shop! I could go on forever with praise for the mechanics that work there. I wish I knew all the guys names. I just want to thank them so much! I would bring them some cookies if it werent for the crazy corona!

Wow, customer service here is A+. Had a few issues to address on my vehicle, when I got a call about their assessment I already had several e-mails with detailed photos and estimates to help me make an informed decision! Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and knowledgeable. Will be back, and wish I had just come here in the first place! Thanks to Mike and the crew!

Super friendly and up front about repairs. This is one of the few shops that has my trust in Boulder! Mike, Anthony and all the other mechanics here are awesome and have been very accommodating and communicative.

I’m the biggest skeptic when it comes to auto shops like this, but these guys were upfront, honest, didn’t try to get me to fix more than what was needed and came in under quote.

The only place in CO that my wife and I trust on our vehicles. Curtis and his team go above and beyond to give the best knowledge, care and pricing. If you need a simple oil change or honest (also reasonably priced!) assessment and solution of a more serious issue, this is the place. I would highly recommend Boulder Valley Automotive to anyone in CO...were 57 miles away and wont go anywhere else!

Great work, stellar service, friendly culture, legitimate pricing, and timeliness. This is my third vehicle I have had serviced throughout the years and they make it easy to be loyal to them!

Best auto repair shop in Boulder. Have had 3 vehicles repaired there in the last 15 years - honest folks, excellent work & fair prices.

Boulder Valley Automotive saved me in the middle of a cross country road trip! They squeezed me in on a Monday morning and repaired my brakes within a couple hours. They were super nice, helpful, accommodating, and reasonably priced. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Showed up thursday evening and I had given no notice that Id be coming in. I came in to show them my brakes that needed to be urgently replaced. They saw how important it was that I get them replaced asap for my own safety so they squeezed in time to help me quickly with my extremely short notice. They ordered the parts immediately and I left my car there on the spot at that time thursday evening and by mid day friday everything was already finished. I had them change all 4 rotors and all 4 brake pads and I even had an unusual request, I wanted them to paint my rusty brake calipers to make them look new again. They did that for me as well. They charged me less than they quoted me as well. Lifetime warranty on the brake pads too. Also the two guys I talked to both were very friendly with a good sense of humor. Just an amazing experience compared to what I delt with very recently with a different shop. If I need service again I will be back.

Staff is super friendly and very knowledgable. Great work for a great price. I recommend this shop to everyone!

So, I finished my school at CU in 2020 and moved to California in July while I had left my old Toyota Land Cruiser in Boulder along with some stuff that needed to be towed to CA. I primarily used the the Land Cruiser for off-roading and, I ended up removing my hitch from the back of the car in the middle of the desert in Moab in 2019 when I went there for an off-roading adventure. While unbolting my hitch, I broke an old rusty bolt and totally forgot about the fact that a piece of it is still in my car frame. Yesterday, I came back to Boulder to pick up the old Land Cruiser and tow my stuff to CA. I went to put the hitch back that I realized I cannot bolt the hitch fully and safely as that broken bolt was still in the frame. The next morning, around 7am I went to Boulder Valley Automotive and told the manager, Curtis, that I needed their help to have that half broken bolt removed from my car so that I can install my hitch to tow my stuff to CA before the weather hits me in I-70 (near Christmas) that day. He was the nicest guy ever. He fit my car in their tight schedule and had the bolt removed from the car. They welded a new nut to the old broken rusty bolt and torque-removed it without damaging anything. Above all, they didn’t charge me anything either. The fact that they didn’t charge me was super nice but I am writing this so that everyone knows that these people care about you as a community customer. They are great, understanding and they deserve your business. You should give them call if you have car problems. Btw, nobody else in Boulder opens at 7am.

To me, its hard for an auto shop to get a gleaming review... but these guys are a diamond in the rough. They are honest, do great work, and are easy to get straightforward answers from. Would def recommend going here.

BVA is great. At this point Ive used them for a few years with significant work (not just oil changes, etc) and always had a great experience. Curtis is the person Ive interacted with the most, and hes very clear, kind, and honest about what work needs to be done, what work is non-essential, why it should be done, and the price for the work. No surprises, and never felt any pressure or negativity in the slightest. On more than one occasion Ive had him tell me that something is just cosmetic, or could wait a while before repair, etc-- to me signs of a good, honest mechanic not just out for your hard earned cash.Also, took my car into another more specialized mechanic in town and got a quote for various work. Took the car into BVA for a second opinion and got a quote for the same work at about 80% the price of spot #1.Sticking with them. Thanks BVA!Edit: Had my clutch fail in a small town in southern CO and couldnt tell if the local mechanic was being honest or not, so I sent an email to Curtis about it with my invoice. Past closing time, he talked to me in detail for about 25 minutes, going over the invoice piece by piece and telling me what he thought and how much it all should cost. He explained everything simply and thoroughly, offered to talk to the other mechanic, and asked to keep in touch with any developments. Made me feel completely at ease and that he was happy to help. It was really really awesome to have someone on my side and who I can trust. Curtis is the bomb and all of my previous opinions have been reinforced incredibly. Awesome.

These guys are awesome! They gave me a honest run down of the problems with my car and suggestions of different options to take. Mike at the front desk is the man and is a straight shooter. They are looking out for your best interest, not how to make the most money off of you. HIGHLY recommend these guys!

Best mechanic shop I have ever used in my life. They are fair, honest, reliable, accommodating....the list goes on. Both my wife and I have been going to them for the past 10+ years. Dont waste your time and money going anywhere else. This place is top notch.

I had to stop for an unexpected emergency on my vehicle, since it was overheating . Came in too see if I could get help at first I was turned down, but Curtis came to the rescue & saved the day ! This guy is the man ! Sharp & honest guy, gave us a quote & a day to come in, & even thou we didn’t end up getting work done “yet” the fact that he went far & beyond to help us to get home made this such a pleasant experience ! Glad to have people like Curtis out there, looking out

Great job reasonable price 👍

I am a young single woman that does not have a lot of knowledge about cars. The mechanics were very patient with me and fit me in last min when I was trying to buy a car from a dealership and had Boulder Valley check the cars out. They never made me feel stupid or tried to take advantage of me because I was a female. They go above and beyond making sure their clients have rides when their stuck without a vehicle. Mike at the front desk was incredible!! He was so patient, kind and helpful to me and my many many questions and concerns! I am not taking my car anywhere else and will tell everyone I know about how wonderful this company is! Plus their prices are very reasonable! Thanks for doing the car industry some well justice they deserve with customer service and all around great business

Curtis went above and beyond to work with us and our insurance company to get our sons car repaired expeditiously so our son could get back home to Minnesota. He was stranded when the car suffered front suspension damage after an encounter with an icy parking lot. Curtis and crew even stayed late on a Friday to get it all buttoned up. These guys are simply the best and highly recommended!

Best service in Boulder region!

This a great place! Great prices, great work, great team! I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Great customer service. They went above and beyond to accommodate and explain everything. Super friendly, and gave me a very fair price for the work I needed done. I would and have already recommended them! Ill be back for sure.

Another fantastic experience at Boulder Valley Automotive. I drive 35-40 minutes out of my way to bring all my vehicles here. We have been coming here for nearly 10 years and I won’t go anywhere else.

I have been coming here for sometime. They have always been fair and treated me very well. Not pretentious and will help explain the situation rather than try and confuse you and charge you more. Their prices are acceptable (reason for 4 not 5 stars) for Boulder not the lowest but certainly not the highest. I will Pay it every time to have people I trust work on my cars. Get you vehicle serviced here with confidence.

These guys are awesome!

Absolutely the best auto shop in Boulder. This is the only place I take my jeep to and they are nothing but kind and professional workers who genuinely care about their customers. I was honestly shocked at how ni e and considerate they were the first time I took my car in. Definitely recommend them and truly believe they are the best in Boulder.

These are honest and knowledgeable guys. To replace a blend door actuator of my car, most auto shops asked $900 to $1100, BVA only charged me $650 with their professional technique and quality service, I was satisfied. I continue to have my Toyota Highlander serviced at BVA, as I think they do a much better job than Larry H. Miller Toyota Boulder.

Fantastic shop with excellent customer service. Fair prices for the work Ive had done, so far. This will be my go-to shop in Boulder, I highly recommend them.

The best auto repair shop Ive ever been to! Everyone here is friendly and professional and always willing to explain the details of whats wrong with my car (a 96 Honda Accord station wagon, which would be on the verge of falling apart if not for their expertise), and theyve helped us save money on numerous occasions. Weve been going here for over a year and definitely plan on going here for all of our future car needs.

They have fantastic with our two cars. They are honest with what needs to be done right away and what can wait. They are helpful and knowledgeable. They have good recommendations for other car places (i.e. windshields) and will not overcharge you. We have been so impressed with them.

Mike and Curtis are great! I would absolutely recommend Boulder Valley Automotive. 10/10.

Honest people, good prices, knowledgeable. I own a service company and have taken all my trucks here for the last 4 years. This a good reputable shop and I highly recommend it.

This store gave me a roughly 5000 quote for my new old car. Took it to another shop and fix it for less than 800. Some problems where trivial, some where undetectable according to the other shop. People are nice in general.

Look no further.... this is your place! I went to here because of all of the great reviews and was NOT disappointed. They are so incredibly friendly, fast, and fairly priced. They are now my main, and ONLY, automotive stop. Cant say enough good things about them!

Exceptional service and very honest. always takes the time to explain the problem and only fixes what is needed. do not waste time reading other reviews. try them out.

Was traveling through Boulder and noticed I had a transmission leak. I looked up the reviews and this place seemed to be the place to go to. I always feel a bit sketchy doing this out of town but I was not disappointed! the service was friendly and quick,the diagnosis was spot on and frankly I dont think I have ever had a cheaper auto repair job done. Would recommend to anyone, very honest and to the point.

Best automotive shop ever. They did not tell me to say that. Very knowledgeable, very professional, prompt, clear explanations of problems, good prices. I would recommend to anyone near Boulder to take your car to Boulder Valley Automotive.

They are so honest and helpful here. They have your best interest in mind--will tell you what really needs to be done and consider price when advising repairs.

This shop is TRULY remarkable. I had a friend in Boulder, Colorado who was in desperate need of assistance and Curtis, the Service Manager came through with flying colors. HIGHLY recommend this shop and personally thank Curtis for the helping hand.

HonestCourteousProfessionalI needed a serpentine belt replaced and a diagnostics done for a rough idle. I called around only to find over rated, over charging auto repair shops in Boulder. However, after using Google Maps I did find Boulder Valley Automotive with some impressive reviews. After going there I can honestly say that Im going back for any future needs. I would also highly recommend this place to family and friends. Its very difficult to find a good auto repair shop so when you do find one, youll wanna keep them.

I’ve always had a great experience with everyone at BVA! My husband said sometimes they seem defensive when he’s trying to ask questions, but I’ve never experienced that. They always explain things to me in a way I can understand without being condescending or dismissive. And they seem reasonably priced.

Curtis Sosias and Mike were very helpful.Their lead Tech is a Subaru Expert formerly of Super Rupair a decade and a half. Mike likes GMC lines, Curtis loves Toyotas and Hondas.Afordably priced...Very good at what they do.Please share the road with everyone!

Best service around!

Best mechanics around. Period. Ive been using BVA for close to 10 years now. The fellas in the shop are always friendly and professional. My car(s) are always fixed properly and quickly. There prices are more than fair. I moved out of Boulder but still only take my car to BVA. My whole family uses them and you should too!

Were very helpful and knowledgeable over the phone, would go to them in the future with questions and for work.

Had videos of all this issues wrong with the car, very honest great shop

I took my car in to BVA originally maybe 10 years ago because it was a NAPA Auto Care Center, and I didnt have a mechanic in town yet. They were finally able to get that car fixed (my cars dont like to replicate problems with other people). Took it to them for years, and theyve been working on my current car now for over 5 years. Theyve always been honest with me about what was absolutely necessary and what could wait, had the best prices, and fixed everything quickly. Theyre really good about pinning down weird issues that come up (my car had pine needles in the heater coil and those were burning...found it and fixed it up!).I wholeheartedly recommend these guys.

Awesome service! They accidentally quoted me a lower price for my timing belt replacement, but they stuck to the price rather than bumping it up after realizing their mistake. Honest guys. Thank you!

I have an older vehicle that is hard to find parts for. They hunted down the required items and went above and beyond with customer service.They have very competitive prices.My favorite repair shop in Boulder, hands down!

As honest as they come. If youre looking for a great automotive shop thats really honest, these are the guys. Ask for Mike

I really love these guys. They are communicative and honest, and I trust them to keep the car that carries my kids around safe on the road. So glad I found them!

I lived in Boulder for 6 years and used BVA the entire time. They are 100% trustworthy, honest, and look out for their customers. Many of my friends and family have used them as well and they all have the same feedback. Mike and Curtis at BVA are great to work with.

Techs are nice and I have NOT seen any issues with there repairs.

Great guys! Expect a wait but its worth it. Honest and hard working.

Great customer service, will follow up with review when the quoted Work is done!

My search for an honest and talented mechanic is over! I will bring all of my cars here because I know I will be given an honest analysis of my cars problems and a fair price on the repairs.

Always great service at a reasonable price!

These guys are legit. If you have an American car and want to do simple performance upgrades these guys got you covered. I took my 06 GT in for a cat back exhaust, lower control arm, pan-hard bar, short throw shift kit and front bumper license plate install. Got it back the same afternoon, the fit is perfect. 0 rattle 0 vibrations 0 drone 100% OEM fit. My car sounds like an angry bear and shifts like a dream! Cost me $300, a great deal. These guys are mechanics you can trust. Good job boys Ill be back for a Mother Thumper cam install eventually MWHAHAHA!

I have a 96 Honda Accord that Billy, Curtis and the boys have been servicing for nearly a decade. I make the commute from Arvada just because I know I will be taken care of by BVA. They are swift to fix my car problems and keep me constantly informed as to progress and make every effort to keep my costs down. I have NEVER had a problem with this company.My Honda has 170,000, and with BVAs help, It should reach 300,000 with no problems.My family and I thank you Billy and Curtis!!! You guys are truly the cream of the crop!

Took my truck into get its Timing Belt done. Expensive job but these guys quoted me the best price and had the work done within the day. The staff was friendly and they didnt try to BS me that more needed to be done. (Looking at you, generic national chain shop)Edit: I had the check engine light come on while I was on the way home. Checked with my OBD2 sensor and it was throwing a code indicating that the O2 sensor was either broken or not plugged in. The guys at Autozone confirmed the code and said it was common for O2 sensors to get damaged during timing belt changes. I had another autopart store tell me the same thing.Well, I took it back to BVAR and asked them to look into it hoping they could fix it for at least the cost materials. They told me that the O2 sensor was fine but my exhaust manifold was cracked and it was causing the check engine light to go off. This is a common problem with this year of Xterra. So common, in fact, that I had it replaced the previous year when there was a large hole in it (no Check engine light). I just replaced both precat O2 sensors and the problems disappeared.I dont care that they damaged the sensor. They were old and needed to be replaced, anyhow. I am, however, insulted that they lied about it, assuming I wouldnt look into it further. Im saddened that my great experience was sullied by sheepish antics.TL;DR: They broke stuff and then lied to me about it. F*** that.

Amazing staff

I love this place
