Customer care was excellent. Dwight took time to explain various aspects of the car issues and how the company works. I felt confidence in having them work on the car. Service was courteous, timely, affordable and well done. I will recommend to others!

On my way to work today my breaks started grinding and I knew I wouldn’t be able to drive home (safely) if I didn’t get it fixed. I called around and these guys were the only ones able to get me in for a last minute appointment. They had a shuttle for me so I could still get to work on time, had great customer service, and on top of that they fixed my car before my lunch break!Everyone was so nice and I didn’t feel like they were doing more than exactly what my car needed just to charge extra because of money like some other places I’ve been to. Fairly priced and super helpful! I highly recommend this place! I don’t normally leave reviews but due to this mechanic shop they took what could have been an incredibly stressful morning/day and turned it into a very smooth and stress free process.

The guys at HonToy were really great, they replaced my license plate mount (which was crunched, so I ordered a new one from Amazon). They helped me cause I didn’t have the right tools to mount it. Very quick service.

Jim and the Hontoycare team are great! It’s important taking my car in for oil changes and car maintenance to trustworthy mechanics especially since I know so little about cars to begin with. I can handle a few emergencies as a driver over the years but it’s more reassuring having had them look out for any potential issues. Knowing the car has been checked out by them has been reassuring! Thanks guys for the quality service. 12/22/2020 Update: The car is still in great shape after a big trip. Thanks, Jim!

Every visit to Jim and his extremely capable crew has proven to be a stellar experience. Our family and business vehicles are maintained by them and they have shown us the value of proper maintenance and care. I even purchased a vehicle through HonToyCare Automotive and rest assured that my previously owned car will serve me well for several hundred thousand miles more! Recently we needed our A/C worked on prior to a trip to Wyoming of about 800 miles round trip and it proved to be a life saver in the heat and dust of the area. Here is our awesome vehicle covered with grime after the trip! Still running like a top!!! Im deck for our regular oil change in a day or two. Thanks Jim and gang for all you do!

I feel very confident that this is an honest, decent bunch of guys who fix my cars to their best ability for a competitive price. They always are on time, courteous, and have been occasionally quite generous.

The service was fine but I guess I should have asked the price before leaving...or they should have told me when i dropped the car. $72 for an oil change?!

I love having a reliable, honest mechanic to trust. I take all my vehicles to HonToyCare and rest knowing that Im getting quality care at a reasonable price. I trust Jim will tell me exactly what I need to do and give me honest options. This is a top notch mechanic!

I recently had our 150,000 mile service done with the gang at HonToyCare Automotive and what and awesome experience. They worked efficiently and thoroughly and found that my brakes were toast, so we opted to replace then as well. I found that metal on metal does not slow you down much! I have been driving my 1992 Honda Accord Wagon for a couple of years now and had all service done with Jim and gang at HonToyCare to keep it running forever. I am so tickled with the way the car runs now that the major service is done and am confident that we will get to 300K miles and still be running like a top! Thanks Jim and Eric for taking such great care of all our vehicles! You Rock!!!! Oh, and did I mention I bought our awesome 1992 Accord Wagon from Jim as well!!! Best investment ever!!

Jim and his team are awesome! Even though I moved away from Boulder, I keep coming back for car appointments. I know I can trust Jim, and that he always recommends whats best for my car. Plus they do a great job on my car. Makes me feel safer. And its easy to book an appointment, even when I decide to come to town at the last minute!

HonToyCare Automotive is awesome. The owner, Jim Waugh, is extremely honest and straight forward. Hes the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.Im like most people- I dont know that much about cars and I dont want to get taken advantage of. You never have to worry about that at HonToyCare. Jim has a ton of experience. He is always able to find the problem quickly. And then he is very upfront about what is a priority, and what can wait. All the guys that work in his shop are friendly, experienced and honest. I cant recommend his garage enough.

Jim has taken care of our cars for years and it has always been a confident, stress free experience. Just getting my oil changed he reminds me of upcoming mileage services so I can prepare to fit those in my budget. You can trust Jim to keep your car in great running order with quality work at fair prices for longer and with more miles than most would expect.

Review №16

I have been going to HonToyCare for years now and Jim and his crew have always done great work, on time and reasonably priced. For someone who doesnt know much about the mechanics of my car, they have always been honest with me about what is most pressing and what could be done later. Its great to know that you can trust your mechanic in these times where people are often trying to go for the mighty buck. Thank you Jim for putting service to your customers first.

Don’t let the name fool you! You don’t have to have a Honda or Toyota to bring your car here! I have been bringing my Mazda here since 2009 and would say 90% of my experiences have been great. Jim and his team are skilled and friendly. Always a fast turn around on my car and the pricing is as good or better than anyone else in town.

What a blessing to find a competent, HONEST mechanic! Since moving to Boulder, Jim and all the great dudes at HonToyCare have kept my beloved Infiniti in tip top shape. I used to hemorrhage money at the dealership but once I discovered Jim and his crew, I dont trust anyone else with my ride.Before you waste money at the dealership, get a second opinion from the guys at HonToyCare. Im sure theyll be able to save you money like they did for me!Dr. Kathi FryBoulder, CO

Jim and the staff at HonToyCare are wonderful! I have gone to them for years for various cars and minor repairs. It’s also important to know that the name implies Honda and Toyota but they work on all models, even my very old Dodge Grand Caravan. My geriatric vehicle needed a new engine, transmission, breaks and starter. They got it done quickly, professionally, and for a price far below what I would have paid at a dealership. Plus, what’s not to love about a free pint of ice cream for every $100 transaction. The service alone takes the sting out of the cost of major work but the ice cream helps a lot too! Thank you so much, you guys are the best.

My wife and I have been taking our two cars to Hontoy since we moved to Boulder in 2013. We have been consistently delighted by the quality of work and the very fair pricing. Jim, the owner, is trustworthy, friendly, and chatty, and has always treated us with respect. He delivers wonderful customer service, and has gone above and beyond the call of duty on multiple occasions. And hey, name another mechanic in Boulder who gives out free ice cream? Highly recommended!

Ive been looking for a reliable place to take my cars in Boulder for years. I havent been able to find one I trust. I took my Subaru here after a recommendation and was more than happy with service, pricing, etc. My car is running better than ever and impressed with the work they did. They even said it would take a week to fix and was ready in 2 days. I recommend to anyone in Boulder.

Review №25

I would not hesitate to bring my car to HonToy. Jim is always professional, friendly, and able to explain the work that is needed. He is sensitive to both what my car needs and my wallet. I have been particularly impressed with his ability to work on used cars with high mileage to keep them running, but would be comfortable bringing something brand new to him, as well.

Review №28

We were visiting Boulder from out of town and had an unfortunate incident which left our car undriveable. We had our car towed to HonToy Care on Weds morning and by Friday morning Jim and his team had repaired a transmission hose, radiator and fixed a mangled frame. We were so impressed with the pricing and their customer service in getting our car repaired so quickly. We are so grateful to them that we were able to make the 16 hour drive back home with no mechanical issues. I only wish that they were closer so we could use them for all our future car issues...thanks so much!

Review №33

I know one bad review won’t do much to this place, but please learn from me and take your money elsewhere: Jim doesn’t seem to care at all. We brought in an 05 rav4 that was running rough and had a check engine light on. He read a code and said we needed a $2k repair.Brought the car back in the next week with 40 miles extra and similar problems, and Jim told us it needs an entirely new engine. Doesn’t seem to have any sympathy and won’t refund any money for the original repair.Jim didn’t really seem to care at all about me or my car, I’m not sure if he actually looked at it, or just reads codes, because he told me it has 4wD when it definitely does not.

Review №35

The responder is listed as my wife. My name is George Johnson. Whatever, I have a 1996 Toyota Tacoma 3.4 liter V6 that I have been driving for over 20 years. Back when my truck had just over 100k miles I took it down the street (29th/Bluff at that time) to get the timing belt replaced. These guys told me that I should get the water pump replaced at the same time, get all related bearings replaced and use factory parts. I said ok and now Im up to 165k miles with no issues related to HonToys work. These guys performed stellar work. I guess they dont realize that by recommending that all things be done correctly they are, in effect, putting themselves out of business. I thank them virtually every day for helping me to keep my trusted truck running well. I have and am not afraid now to take this truck anywhere at any time.If anything ever does go wrong, HonToy will be my first call.George Johnson

We discovered HonToyCare years ago and have never used anyone else. Jim and his crew have taken care of a Honda Accord, Plymouth Grand Caravan, Toyota Prius, Subaru Forester and most recently a Toyota Highlander for us, all to our complete satisfaction. My only concern is that when Jim retires I will have to find a new mechanic of the same caliber.
