Genes Automotive worked on my vehicle. They were professional, polite and willing to explain the services that needed to be completed. The cost was reasonable and the service was completed in a timely manner. If you are needing automotive repairs or just regular service to your vehicles that is trustworthy and reliable, this is your place. I highly recommend them, and I dont do that often.

I always receive the best service here! Jason is who I usually interact with, and hes always extremely pleasant and easy-going. They do timely work for a reasonable price, and they have helped me in small ways for no charge before. I never feel like theyre just trying to squeeze money out of me because Im a woman, which is one of my biggest pet peeves at car shops. Thank you guys for 3+ years of awesome service!

Genes auto is the best mechanic shop that I have been to. This family run joint is so helpful and friendly, and made my experience so easy for someone that doesnt know a lot about cars. I recently bought a used car and they were instrumental in helping me avoid bad cars, knowing what to look for, and they even waived the price of inspection on a car that I brought in since I had been struggling with my search. The Currans definitely know how to run a business, as they value the customer and level of service far more than simply making money. Quality service at an affordable price! Will be returning.

Have been having my cars serviced at Genes for years for all the obvious reasons - great service, honesty and reasonable prices. Stopped in the other night at closing time just to get some air in a low tire. They offered to quickly fix the tire for me at no charge. Unfortunately I couldnt take them up on the kind offer as I was late for an appointment. But that offer shows what kind of folks they are!

A friend of mine referred me to Genes and I have to say WHAT AN AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE!! Far too many repair shops only care about money. But at Genes, they care about service and their customers.They are truly honest, knowledgeable, affordable and enjoy what they do. They guarantee their work and will guide you through any concerns you have about your vehicle.I will be referring everyone I know!

Genes Auto Repair in Boulder is one of the finest shops in the State of Colorado. Honest, good work and if they cant or shouldnt do the repair they will tell you who should. In my experience always on time and on budget. Friendly service that you can count on getting the job done right the first time.

Last time we went there, they got us in asap, since the door mechanism wouldnt let us close the door, and fixed it immediately. Earlier, they had worked on the security system (we have a 94 Ford Ranger) because it was draining the battery - figured out the mystery, which no one else had been able to diagnose, and fixed it, plus did a tune-up for what seemed to be a reasonable amount. They are smart, helpful, and easy to deal with. Were very happy we found them.

I was out of the country when our Ford Fusion broke down on my wife. She brought it into Genes and the diagnosis meant significant work. Being in a pinch and with me out of the country, we had to put our full faith in Genes reputation.The car now runs as smooth as Ive ever known it. I dont want to say it was easy, as the guys at Genes would probably agree, but Jason and his team took care of us the way that only a family-run shop can, and I am ever grateful for that.

I went in to get a new fender liner, they were the most reasonably priced shop in all of Boulder, and they also fixed my hanging fender for free. Cant say enough about how great they are. Best prices in Boulder!

Finding a trustworthy auto mechanic is akin to a finding a needle in a haystack. Genes Auto Repair in Boulder IS that needle. Every time I take my vehicles there I am treated like family. You simply cannot go wrong in working with this amazing shop.

Had my Saab in for a coolant leak issue after an ice related accident. They looked it over the next morning, accessed the damage, and gave me an estimate. I ended up having to take my car to my insurances required collision center, but the staff at Genes was extremely friendly and helpful. Appreciate their time so much

I have been taking my vehicles to Genes for many years now. Yesterday my car was in to have a brake job that I thought needed to be done. They took it for a test ride and checked the brakes and assured me I have plenty of life left on the current brakes. What other shop would do this? I love the honest professionals at Genes! They will be my go to shop for many years to come and this is just another reason they continue to get my business.

I am a new customer. I heard great things about Genes Auto Repair when researching good mechanics. From the moment I called I feel the staff has been professional, direct and honest. Jason, the owner offered to drive me to work himself while my car was being worked on. I am excited about being an ongoing customer at Genes auto.

Ive used Genes for years, my father introduced me to them.Great people, honest. You can trust their judgement.They are into helping you first, not seeing how much they can charge.Ive never had a problem with their work, they have never had to re-do a repair.

Ive been taking both of my vehicles here for several years now. Jason takes great care of me and never recommends work that doesnt need to be done. Also, Ive never had to bring a vehicle back for the same problem twice. Thanks for the honesty and high-quality work!

I went to the 28th st location and I was very impressed. The inside waiting area was very accommodating with lots of updated magazines and books. Its the nicest auto shop I have been too. They did a great job on my Mini Cooper. Its nice to find a honest place to service my car.

I have taken multiple vehicles to Genes Auto for about 5 years. Great experiences except one. When there was an issue, the owner called and we settled the dispute. I appreciate the business acumen displayed by the owner and will return for future visits.

Highest rated shop for many good reasons. The owner is very knowledged. Pricing is very reasonable. In my case this shop saved me money, since the other two places were cheaper but tried to add additional repairs when they were not necessary.

Genes did a great job on my truck in a timely manner. They were able to take care of me as well by helping put me into a loaner car while they had my vehicle for the week. No other shop has helped me like that for 20 years. I will be back with all my vehicles.

Engineering-level knowledge of cars, quick, honest, and very clear in explaining what is up with your car.Had transmission problems, amongst other thing, while on a road-trip. They figured everything out in no time and had me out of Boulder in less than a day. Amazing!

I moved to Boulder from California almost three years ago. In California, I was very spoiled to have a step-father who did all my oil changes and car repairs. Faced with the challenge of finding a place to take my car in a new city, I was very fortunate to find Genes Auto Repair. Every time I have called to make an appointment, they are able to take my car at my earliest convenience. When servicing my car, I am often surprised at how quickly they call to say that my car is ready for pick-up. Also, as my car gets older and needs repairs more frequently, the staff is very good at letting me know what the most immediate issues are and dont pressure me to do what is beyond my budget at that time. A great, trustworthy establishment and I would recommend them to anyone.

I brought my Chevy Tahoe here, which had been sitting around for about six months and needed some repairs. I chose to try Genes auto repair because they had the most consistently positive reviews. I am very pleased with not only the work and price, but also the promptness of their service. Within the day I dropped the car off they called me and provided a full diagnostics report on the work that should be done, but I wasnt pressured into repairing anything I felt was unnecessary. I quickly was able to agree on the service, and didnt have any tricks or surprises when I checked on the car two days later. Altogether I found Genes auto repair to be fairly priced, quick, and very professional in their service as well as client interaction. I highly reccommend Genes auto repair to friends and family or anyone with automotive needs.

We were having trouble with our van on a trip from California to Boulder. The internet suggested Genes Auto Repair and reviews said they were trustworthy.Indeed they are. They had our wheel bearings fixed and the van running great in no time -- and for a very fair price. We highly recommend Genes Auto Repair!

Review №28

I dropped my truck off right before closing time Wed. Thurdsay morning they gave me a call and already knew what was wrong and had a quote for me. It was an easy fix so they had it ready for pick up Thursday evening. After doing some research I realized they charged me on the pricey side for something that was an easy fix. As a poor college student I would have gladly put in the time to do it myself for half the price. That being said they gave quality, speedy service, just watch out for the price.

While in from out of town, my car started smoking. I called them up and explained that I had to get someone to DIA the next day and really needed my car looked at that day. I dropped it off, and they had it fixed in about two hours. Maybe even less time. Very reasonable price, very nice/helpful people, and they gave us a lift to the bus stop. This would be my mechanic if I lived in Boulder.

I brought my car in to have the transmission repaired. The guys at the shop were incredibly friendly and quoted me a fair price. Even though I decided to get rid of my car rather than spend all the money salvaging it, they were still very helpful, and they helped me get my car towed back to my house. Ill be taking my next car here for any future repairs.

I took my old car to Genes for years and always got great service. When I bought a new car, I took it to the dealer for service because of the warranty, but a soon as the warranty expired I went back to Genes. They provide great service, with reasonable prices. The only thing better would be a free carwash right next door at Puddles!

Ive been searching for the perfect place to service my Audi and after several disappointments, I found Genes. All around excellent service, attention to detail, honest and quality work, fair reasonable price! Thank-you!! And btw, I never write reviews but all around excellent and honest mechanics are apparently hard to find and people should know they can trust you.

Review №33

Genes is top notch old school awesome. They provide great service and operate with honesty and integrity so I dont have to worry about being overcharged, overworked, or taken advantage of. Ive taken my car to Genes on 4 occasions and on 2 of those occasions Jason fixed my problem quickly on the spot for no charge. If I had gone to the dealership I would have certainly paid top dollar for what Jason fixed for free in seconds. That work ethic speaks volumes for justifying the repair that did cost me $600. Before doing any work I was consulted and the problem was thoroughly described. Im so impressed with Genes I will not take my car anywhere else. Genes will treat you right because they treat everyone right. I am highly skeptical of any sub-par reviews that contradict this one.

Review №34

I was quoted a price of $1250+ for a new gear shifter (just the electronic part), given the part is on the pricey end but i was able to find it from $350-$800. This means they are charging upwards of $1000 for installation, where it took me, an untrained mechanic 15min to fully replace. Disappointing to say the least.

Genes Auto Repair provides excellent service. After a nightmare experience at Napa Jeep, Genes immediately identified a problem and fixed my care are a very reasonable cost. Dependable, thorough, experienced, caring, reasonable - excellent overall - they are truly a find in the automotive repair business!!

Jason answered the phone and was very short with me. Declined a very simple repair without even really hearing what was needed. This is a repair that any mechanics shop should be able to handle with ease. Wasnt impressed.

Review №47

DO NOT GO HERE FOR CAR REPAIRS!I was planning a road trip and had them check my car out to make sure everything was okay beforehand. They estimated my costs at almost $4000 and basically told me I needed to rebuild my entire car! I only paid $4000 when I got it! I literally broke down sobbing in my car afterwards because I thought I wasnt going to be able to take my trip.I went to another repair shop in Broomfield (Randys) and they did the work for half the price and were much more honest with me about what was necessary.

I brought in a ten year old car with a lot of mileage that we are driving cross country to gift to a relative. Zack was very good about letting me know what needed to be done and then working with me to figure out what we needed to do to drive cross country safely and comfortably versus what eventually had to be done, but not immediately. He also let me know the guarantee will work at any Napa autocare center in the country which is nice. The work seemed efficient.

Had a overheated engine in my newly bought 2nd hand volkswagen beetle just round the corner. Hooked up Google maps and found Genes auto as the best rated auto repair. Not gonna trust any tom dick and Harry on this one. Great service. Loaned me a car for free while they did the check!! Next, I wasnt charged a cent for the check and was given comprehensive reports and estimations for me to make my decision. Brenda and Jason puts customers first in this auto business! You wont regret it!

Needed a new transmission for my 03 Durango. A friend referred me to Genes auto repair for repair. They looked over my Durango and decided it was in such good shape (low miles, nothing leaking, ball joints fine, brakes, suspension etc) that I might want to spend the extra $400 for a certified transmission with a 100k 3 year warranty. I am sure that when I do sell my Durango I will easily be able to get an extra $400 for the brand new certified transmission with warranty. They offered me a loaner car and was able to fix my car within a couple days. Zack was friendly and explained everything in detail. Very happy with my experience with Genes auto repair in Boulder.

Review №63

Genes tried to rip me off in the worst way. They told my wife we needed a new ECU (Engine Control Unit) because our 10yr old car that was running rough and along with a litany of other fixes wanted close to $1500. When specifically asked how they knew the ECU needed replacing, the mechanic looked her in the eye and said because I measured the current coming from the ECU to be too low.24hrs later, after spending some time on the internet forums, I bought a $73 solenoid valve from Advance Auto, spent 10mins to replace it on my car, and it has run flawlessly for the last 2 years.As the ECU was clearly NOT bad, there are only 2 possible conclusions: Genes was either incompetent or dishonest. Trying to intimidate a woman with tech talk is just stereotypical sleazy car repair shop stuff. The funny thing is, had I paid them the $1500 and experienced the same 2yrs of subsequent driving bliss, Id be one the reviewers on here touting the virtues of how Genes fixed my car right and treated me right and how it all felt so honest and trusting. Smile when you stab me in the back and I may not even feel it.Now, if only I knew how to stop them sending me txt messages every few months reminding me I need to bring my car in for service........
