I took my car in because the oil light would come on every time I turned the wheel. Well I took it in and they said it was an oil leak if I paid 800$ they could fix. Well I come back with the 800$ and they said I had metal shavings in my oil, they couldn’t fix the car. Then my dads keep started having problems, nothin with the oil light/oil, when he’d come to a complete stop and hit the gas it would rev more than it was supposed to for the amount of speed he would try to go. So we took it in to the same place and they told him that he had metal shavings in his oil and that was the problem . His oil light didn’t come on at all. So how could it be the oil. If my car had oil light on and it turned out it had metal shavings, why would his have the same issue and his not come on. Beside the fact he is 57 years old and though he doesn’t have the tools a shop has, he still knows more about cars then I ever could. In conclusion, wouldn’t recommend.

Great customer service! Been here a few years now and always fast and affordable. And always do a great job!!

I spent a lot of time googling shops to get an oil change. Coming from a small town and knowing everyone whos ever worked on my car, its been hard to find a place I trust. I submitted an inquiry on their website and Duke called back. I was able to get in for an oil change quick. I requested a specific oil and Duke had no problem ordering in the brand I requested. I told him when I arrived my car had over heated and he took it upon himself to scope out a few more things. He brought me into the shop and showed me what he discovered. Sure enough two wires were out on my fan. He ordered the two wires and headed to pick them up. Definitely a one stop shop. Duke is extremely transparent and has a lot of experience under his belt. As a young female I didnt feel like he ever talked down to me or was trying to pull a fast one on me. He cares about the work done at his shop and his team reflects that too. Especially at the front desk getting to know the kindest gal in Grand Junction. We chatted the entire time Duke worked on my car making time really fly by. Duke provided quality work and information. I feel very confident in the work that was done and will definitely be going back! Wether its this car or bringing him a car Im interested in to check out before I buy it. I cant say enough good things about my experience with Duke and his team!

My girlfriend and I had some car troubles on a trip and took my car to Atlas after having a bad experience at another mechanic shop in the area. Duke and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable. They made an effort to explain complicated car issues and tell us what we really needed, all while being friendly and courteous. He looked at my car in a timely fashion. In fact, he stayed over an hour past the closing time to take a look at my car and test drive it. He was able to diagnose what was wrong and give us advice on what to do. He wasnt able to get the parts in until later in the week (we werent able to stay), but at least we left with the peace of mind that our car wasnt going to die on our 2,000 mile journey back home (we made it back).On a side note they even recommended local restaurants to try while we waited (they did not disappoint!).Id also like to thank the owner for giving us a first responder discount and letting us sleep in our car in his parking lot!

Amazing amazing amazing. If you’re looking for somewhere to go and you really just don’t know, feel like you can’t trust anybody? I’m there with ya. But these guys know what they are doing, they are honest good people. People you can trust, and you don’t come by a lot of people like that these days.I was stuck in Utah, middle of nowhere with beat red manifolds. Some other issues as well. A mechanic from Las Vegas screwed me pretty good.Luckily with breaks I was able to push to this shop.Within a few hours they got my truck in and started getting to work. When I say they know what they are doing, I mean it. Not even a whole day and they figured it all out, and fixed it all. I’m beyond thankful.They are extremely professional, honest, intelligent, kind good people with integrity.Nevertheless, stop looking at other shops and pick Atlas Automotive for your auto needs and care.

Great service! Honest and reliable. I wouldnt look anywhere else for a mechanic in Grand Junction.

My husband and business partner, Luke, and I had a check engine light come on in the midst of a 3,100 mile journey hauling a tiny home across country. We lucked out that not only was Atlas one of the very few places open on a Sunday but they were friendly, informative, honest, and quick to diagnose the issue and get us back on the road. We would highly recommend. Thank you!

Please do not go to this company horrible technicians the owner lied straight to my face took him to court. in court admitted he lied spent over $4000 all they did was make the problem worse

I was traveling through town and something fell out from under my van and was dragging on the ground, so I needed it repaired right away. I drove a few minutes down the road to this repair shop and although they were super busy since it was a weekend, they took the time to look at my van and fixed the issue right away. Luckily it was a simple fix but they were quick, very helpful, and friendly. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a mechanic in town!

GREAT service! Thankful to find a skilled and thorough mechanic to replace an alternator on a Sunday afternoon. Stayed late to finish the job, got us back on the road.

The owner is extremely nice and knowledgeable, fairly priced and great work

I’m almost a year late on this review, but I still think about it to this day. It was the beginning of the pandemic, and a brake line broke on my journey from CA back to Denver. I was stuck right at the border of Utah and CO, so the closest city to me was Grand Junction. I called around to every shop in the area explaining my situation, but everyone told me they could get the part in for a week. I called Atlas, and not only did they promise to get the part in 4 days, but they also allowed me to park my camper van in their lot and plug into their building for the entirety of my wait. Their customer service truly went above and beyond, and I will never forget the way that shop treated me in one of my precarious positions I have ever experienced. Thanks Atlas!

This place is amazing!!!!! My boyfriend was driving in from California but driving through grand junction, to still have to drive 4 more hours(to avoid paying for a hotel) and this amazing mechanic got him in, a couple hours before closing on a Saturday to fix a “sputtering truck”. I believe it was a spark plug and coil that was replaced. This mechanic and his promptly/timely and willingness to help fix the truck, Allowed my boyfriend to keep on going on his trip and not having to pay for a hotel for the night to wait for parts or anything. The truck is running so amazing now. We could not be more thankful for this mechanic. If I’m not wrong, I believe his name was rick. I would give him 100 stars if I could. Thank you so much

Rick and crew were absolutely incredible! We were driving home from Utah when we started getting some funky noises coming from the van. Of course it was Saturday night and everything was closed but I called them first thing Sunday morning and they said to bring it in but they were busy so might not be able to get to repairs right away. They were pretty quick to get it looked at and explained everything in detail. Got it fixed and we were on our way same day. Very reasonably priced, great service, and genuinely good people. I highly recommend taking your car there. If I lived in junction, I would be their customer for life. Thanks again, Rick and crew!

I can not recommend this repair shop highly enough!Broke down on the way into grand junction- 2hrs from home. Joined triple a whilst on the road side. Got free tow into Atlas Automotive- arriving in the middle of a busy Saturday afternoon.They broke off from their other work to quickly diagnose the problem- and ordered parts.As soon as new water pump and belt arrived my repair was completed and I was back on my way in a couple of hours at a v reasonable cost.Exceptional service from exceptional people.I am v grateful- without their help I would have been stuck there until at least Monday.Thank you.

Knowledgeable, friendly and honest. Our new mechanics!

These folks are awesome.

Rough around the edges-- dismissive and rude. But he did help me find some problems. Update: my car broke down less than 200 miles after leaving this shop and required an engine rebuild. 6/6/2021.

Atlas Automotive provided most excellent service! Corinna was there late in the afternoon after the mechanics had left for the day when we limped in with my Honda Element that kept overheating while visiting the National Monument. Atlas was able to get my car in the next morning. Being from Ridgway was an inconvenience in procuring rides home and back to GJ. But knowing my car was in good hands was reassuring. Thank you Atlas! I would highly recommend their service !!!

I took my truck in to get a fuel pump put in. Called them at 7 o’clock in the morning had it in by eight and out by 10 quick and fast service thumbs up for these guys thanks again

This is locally owned shop . They have worked on so many of my cars I lost count. Very good work. Staff is super nice clean shop. Not pushy tells it straight up.

We were headed through Grand Junction from California during the pandemic and our Corolla started making a rattling sound when accelerating. They managed to fit us in on a Sunday morning, identified the issue as a loose heat shield, and fixed it within 15 minutes of the diagnostic. They were honest and professional and I would recommend going here to anyone in the area!

I’ve gone to this spot for years to work on several different vehicles. Always top notch work has been done. They do what they can to keep the price low, and are always up front with the costs before charging or doing any work. I first came to them because I lived near the shop, I’ll continue coming to atlas for years to come because of the quality of work these folks perform.

Our SUV broke down in Moab, the water pump sprung a leak. None of the mechanics in town could work on our car for a week. We were referred to Atlas in Grand Junction by a local dealer. AAA got the truck towed to GJ, Duke @ Atlas ordered ahead the parts and was able to get us back on the road within 5 hours of receiving the vehicle. Their service was impeccable and prices very reasonable. In fact it cost us less than the estimate we had gotten in Moab.Highly recommend this shop to anyone needing car repairs. A special shout out to Casey who is a very skilled tech.

I have been coming to Atlas for years. I’ve never questioned their services because I thought I could depend on a business I’ve been going to for auto repairs. Recently though I’ve been noticing issues with my car that keep recurring. For example I got my my ac fixed here for a lot of money and now it’s having the same issues that were “rare” to begin with? Paying $1000 for a part that hasn’t lasted me for a year ? On another occasion where I got my window fixed and after waiting around 5 hours for a part they had, and was supposed to be done, but as soon as I left the window still wouldn’t go up. They gave me, my car without checking if it was fixed in the first place. After this whole incident they had to order another part because they didn’t get it right in the first place. After thousands of dollars later I would recommend seeing someone else. I have repeatedly put my trust and money in this business, for poor quality done to my car.

We were traveling from California to Colorado Springs and our battery started to fail. We managed to make it to Grand Junction and while OReily was willing to help, they couldnt. Firestone was very helpful but also didnt have what we needed. Finally my wife called Atlas. They ordered a battery to be delivered which made it nearly the same time as we pulled in, and within 20 minutes they had the new battery installed and us back on our way. What automotive repair place gets you in and out in less than 30 minutes with no notice? This place was amazing to us and I couldnt recommend them more. They even gave us a great price! We cant thank them enough for saving us from much more potential grief.

The reviews are all true. This is a real old-time mom and pop shop. I came to them in the middle of a cross-country trip with a rattle in my car. They fit me right in, found the problem immediately, fixed it in 15 minutes, and didnt charge me a thing. If you live in Grand Junction or are just visiting, this is the mechanic for you.

On our way through town on a road trip, Rick squeezed us in to assess our check engine light. Turned out to be nothing, and he sent us on our way. Even gave our dog a treat. Good, honest people at this place. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful small neighborhood mechanic shop/gas station. Honest, good value, and great service.

Rick and the guys did an amazing job turning my car around. They came in early and stayed late to ensure that I could pick it up within a week after replacing the transmission. Great friendly, honest and hard working people. I could recommend them more.

Took our daughters car in for a complicated electrical issue and had the problem fixed in less than 24 hours. Friendly and professional service and will be a repeat customer for all of our vehicle issues.

I highly recommend Atlas Auto and Rick to anybody who is having car problems. We broke down outside of Grand Junction with major engine problems and our car was towed there. Rick made us feel very comfortable and assured us that he would be able to repair our car. We live in Denver and so we had to get a rental car and leave our car with him for the week. He kept in contact with us giving a status report on our vehicle. When we returned the following weekend to pick up our car Rick and his team made sure to go over every detail of work that they did for us. They even fixed some other small repairs that our car needed for no additional charge. Rick and his staff are highly professional, highly skilled and trained at what they do. They did not take advantage of us in our time of need. We felt very comfortable that our car was in good hands and that we were given an honest deal. Rick runs his shop with honesty and integrity. I would recommend Rick and Atlas Auto to anyone in the area who is in need of car repairs. My only wish is that we did not live so far away from them so that in case we needed anything else we could take our car to him.Thank you so much Rick for all that you did for our family in our time of need. We will never forget that.Ron Peterson and FamilyLakewood Colorado12/20/2015

So grateful to Atlas. My power steering stopped working late Friday night. Atlas worked with me in a difficult situation. They were super responsive to my emails and fixed the problem for a very reasonable price. I had to be back in Denver for work on Monday and they were able to have everything ready by Saturday night. Cant say how grateful I am for them in that moment of need. Would highly recommend to anyone else.

Was referred to atlas by a friend on fb. Other repair shops couldnt figure out why my car smelled like gas but guys at atlas did right away! Also, the gentleman (rick?) Paid for my energy drink! A little kindness goes a long way! Thank you Atlas!

Brought my car in for a tedious job (rear main seal in a kia sorento) and they had it done in 2 days, and while they had the transmission out they fixed some other things too. Better yet, it was the best price I could find in town! Very happy and will be taking my vehicle here from now on.

Called all around and this was the cheapest place I could find. It was super quick and the guy was extremely friendly and honest. I will be taking my car here from now on if I ever have car trouble because he was fast, honest, and super friendly.

Had car trouble on a road trip, these guys got us fixed up quick at a good price. They even brought us in to show us what was wrong. Definitely recommend.

Greatest shop in grand junction! My 97 dodge 1500 need the heads replaced because of the use of sea foam ( do not use sea foam!) Rick stood behind me 100% untill everything was fixed! Great service, amazing people! I am never taking my truck anywhere else all the other shops wanted to charge twice as much and didnt stand behind me like Rick did! Atlas is the best automotive shop in Grand Junction! Give them a call!

My truck broke down east of Grand Junction on a road trip while towing my boat. After towing my truck to the local dealer who didnt have time to even look at my truck the towing company recommended Rick at Atlas Automotive. Rick is awesome. It was later on a Friday afternoon and he said bring it over (2nd tow). Rick even guessed the issue properly on the phone based on what I told him. His shop quickly diagnosed the issue after getting a look at it, got the part (alternator) and fixed the truck. He treats people the way he wants to be treated, and understands what it is like to be broken down. Great service, fair pricing, and they really helped me out. Highly recommended. Wish i knew about them before i had my truck towed elsewhere.

They were able to fix my car fast and at a cheaper price than the big business auto repair places in town. They were very friendly and polite. I was in and out of the shop very quickly and was able to get back to driving my car again. Thank you! I will go here again for my auto repairs!

My fuel pump died while visiting for a bike race. This shop fit me in and replaced it in under 4 hours on a Sunday morning. Pretty incredible... I wish the shop was closer, Id get more work done there.

I was passing through town on a road trip and had a problem with my car late in the afternoon. They were the only mechanics in town who would even look at my car that day on such short notice, and they had me fixed up and back on the road within a half hour!! They were a miracle for me on that road trip, thank you so much!!!

This is the best auto shop in town! They take great care you you, make sure to do it right plus they are friendly and fair. I will never go to another mechanic again!!!

If your in grand junction with car trouble this small shop is where you need to go. I was stranded on a road trip. After calling around town, AND visiting other shops these gentleman treated me like family, prioritized me, charged a fair price, and solved the puzzle that was my car. All while allowing me to bother them with questions in the garage. Easily THE best place in GJ.

So happy this place exists! During a cross country road trip our car lost its heat and began to overheat whenever it was idling. We went to Atlas and the guys were able to fix the problem & provide a lot of insight in a very short amount of time! They were also extremely friendly. So happy we stopped here and so grateful for such kindness!

Were from out of town and had a serious problem with our engine which meant we couldnt get home. Rick and his team were super helpful, even organizing a rental care for us and driving us to collect it. Our car is now running beautifully!

Our car broke down early Sunday morning about 50 miles out of Grand Junction, CO. After reading the reviews, I had AAA tow us to Atlas. Rick got us right in, found the extent of the damage quickly (left front hub bearing came apart - damaging the brakes as well). While my wife and I ate breakfast at a nearby restaurant, his shop worked on it - having it fixed before we got back. We were back on the road in about an hour and a half (!) and at a very reasonable price. I wish Ricks shop was in our home town in CA - but then he wouldnt have been here when we needed him. He is definitely an honest mechanic that cares about his customers.

I blew my radiator cap in Moab Saturday late afternoon--thermostat was redlining and I made it to the auto zone in Clifton. The store manager- Cassie was incredibly kind and helpful and got me patched up enough to get back to a hotel in Grand Junction. Only 2 auto shops were open Sunday and thankfully I got to Rick at Atlas Automotive. He discovered the radiator had air in it and was super honest and thorough. I was expecting something much worse and costly. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and support everyone showed me.

The guys at atlas are wonderful. They always fix my car quickly and for much less than anyone else is town. Rick is a great guy with an awesome staff

My two kids and I had stalled a few days earlier in Nevada and stalled again in Utah. AAA had a difficult time finding a tow truck driver that could tow our 87 Class C Motor Home and a shop that would work on it on a Sunday. The tow truck came out and took us to Atlas Automotive. They couldnt find the problem on Sunday and their mechanics refused to charge me. We spent the night at their shop for two nights (Sat & Sun) and Rick had his master electrician go over the engine again. By Monday Rick suspected an ignition control module sensor, had his wonderful mechanics fix it and he kept tabs on us along the road, he requested we call the shop once we got to Denver so they would know we got there ok. They were all very kind and charged a very reasonable amount for their labor and parts.

Always great service and theyre open on weekends! I had a problem with my AC fan. One possible fix was $, the other was $$$. Naturally, I went with $ first. $ didnt work and I opted not to spend $$$. They didnt even charge me $. Honest, fair, and did I mention theyre open on weekends? Look no further for the most reliable shop in town!

I didnt think this kind of service existed any more! I brought my car limping into the shop with the fear that I may be stuck in Grand Junction for days. Two other shops already told me it would be two days at the earliest. Rick was able to determine the problem quickly and get the parts I needed to get me home.

Check engine light popped on, I randomly picked a place and Atlas automotive was my choice, they scanned the car and found what the problem was and fixed it right away. I would go back to this place if needed.

Good mechanic. I was treated well.

My car broke down in Utah and I had it towed to Atlas for no other reason than they were the only shop open late enough in a 100-mile radius. That was lucky, because the car broke down on a Friday and it turned out they were the only shop open in GJ on weekends. Rick, the owner, couldve looked at my car the next day, but he stayed an hour late to diagnose the problem before driving my friend and I to a hotel for the night. He continued to work on it early the next morning, and when the costs of repair were going to be too high to justify (a fact verified through speaking with my dad on the phone), Rick bought my car on the spot at a fair price with the intention of fixing it and offering it to a future family in need.Rick and his staff were helpful, hardworking, and kind at every turn, and went out of their way to take care of us. Rick is a genuinely good guy and I never felt like I was being swindled, even though Im not much of a car person. All I can do as thanks is encourage you to bring your business to this shop!

So nice and so professional. Got stuck at 430 on a friday. Every place we called was closed on the weekend or were to booked. I explained what was happening and he said bring it in first thing Sat morning. We are about to get on the road and back to our vacation. Thank you!

Just all around a great shop.

These people are great! Very friendly, and take great care of and for their customers! Would definitely recommend them!

These people will take very good take care of you! Very honest people! Thank you.

Great honest guys did good work on my heater core

Fantastic team. They find our problem and resolve it very fast on a sunday. The price was incerdibly low! Thanks one more time to them

Glad they are in my neighborhood, super nice people . Always friendly

Brakes failed coming off I-70, while on a photo trip. These guys treated me and my Jeep like I lived next door to them.

Good, honest and hard working guys who are great with the neighborhood kids.

Very good fast friendly affordable service would definitely recommend to anyone I am new in town now this is the place to get my vehicle serviced

I wouldnt send anyone to these pepole .they were not honest with me.

If I could I wouldnt give any stars. They had my car from 8am on a Wednesday until 3pm on Sunday thats 5 days. And never called me to tell me around when my car would be done. They would lie to me and when I would call them they would say one thing then my parents would call and they would tell them something completely different. When I went in to FINALLY pick up my car they made me feel stupid and in the wrong.

Great service and friendly staff!

Id give Ricks shop 10 stars if I could. A few weeks ago, I was traveling from Crawford, CO back to Denver on a Saturday afternoon. Around 12:30pm, my serpentine belt fell apart on Hwy 50, 30 miles south of Grand Junction. Unfamiliar with the area, I called my insurance company and a few shops to see about a tow and a replacement belt. Fortunately, Napa in GJ had ONE remaining belt for my 01 Eurovan. And when I asked if they could recommend someone to install it? They said Call Atlas without hesitation. I talked to Rick and he agreed to try and work me in that day. So a few hours later, I arrived at the shop with my van in tow. At first sight, I thought to myself, Oh man...this will be interesting. Atlas is a modest shop, attached to a small convenience store and gas station. I know the Eurovans VR6 can be a pain in the butt for the uninitiated, so I was starting to have doubts about getting out of GJ before Monday...That all changed as soon as I met Rick. With 20 minutes of arriving, he had the serp belt AND the broken tensioner pulley that caused the problem out of the van. He came over and showed me exactly what happened with the part and started work calling around for parts. We had the belt, but the pulley was a surprise. Ricks a certified Napa shop, so they delivered a pulley within about 10 minutes of the first request. But unfortunately, it wasnt the right part. So Rick went back to the drawing board and started thinking through the issue. He realized that the Jetta carried the same engine as my van, and although the bolt pattern in the tension was slightly different, there was a high likelihood that the pulley would be the same. 5 minutes later, Napa arrived with the part, and sure enough - the pulley was a perfect fit. I was back on the road, Denver-bound, by 5:30.And the best part? I was the perfect candidate to get gouged on price. He could have charged me double what he did, and I would have had no choice but to pay up. But he charged a price that was fair (probably generous!), and wished us luck on the rest of our trip. If youre a Grand Junction resident, or having car trouble while passing through, youd be crazy NOT to take your car to Atlas.

Over priced and wrong diagnosis of problem

Atlas saved us on a Sunday on the way from Montana to New Mexico. Our car had a busted hub bearing and they replaced it in 3 hours. Wish we could bring our car here for every service!

They charge 30-50 cents just to prep the gas line before you even get gas. Its worth the half mile drive to the next gas station.

Worst experience I have ever had! Dishonest !unprofessional and will add extra parts and charges without consent and will not show you old parts. My family has paid in full over 11k in engine work and still it is not fixed. Please find a real shop

Absolutely wonderful, they went above and beyond!!

Very kind, courteous, and reliable!

Honest courteous service

Nice and ftiendy

Horrible

Honest, Professional,
