Brakes Plus is terrible and I will not be coming back. I had brake issues and when I first brought it in, I said it sounds like it’s coming from the front passenger side; they looked at it and said it was the rear brake pads that needs to be replaced. OK, I have to trust them on some level, but the sound never went away and started getting worse. I was able to get another appointment only to show up and be told I wasn’t on their schedule. The worker tried to assist me anyway and went out to my car and drove it around. He came back and said he didn’t hear anything so I asked him “well what is it that I’m hearing?” So I asked him to ride in the car while I drove it and he wouldn’t get in my car stating he didn’t want to get dog hair all over himself…mind you he already sat in the driver’s seat which has more animal hair than the passenger seat. Nobody else came back out for 10 minutes and I was talking to another customer and he said they were all inside eating pizza. So I asked the customer if he would like to ride with me to see if he could hear the noise. He agreed and after stepping on the brakes after going 50 feet, the customer heard the noise. So I ended up taking my car elsewhere and will never come back to Brakes Plus.
The gentlemen working here are all fantastic. I was running late, got there about 20 minutes after they closed, and they were nice enough to still help me out so I could have my car back right away, instead of making me come back during business hours the next day. Great service, they dont try to sell you on extra services you may not need. Very polite staff. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so.
Andrew & the team here are so amazing. My car had brake issues on my drive back to college and they were able to see my car and fix it all in the same day. They were so kind & understanding of my situation. Thanks guys!
I brought my car in on 2 different occasions to have my AC compressor, condenser, and alternator replaced. I was concerned that the AC parts will be hard to find because of how old my car is. However, Joel found the parts for my car without any issues and now I have a perfectly running system after 5 years of not having AC!Then I took my car in and the shop discovered it was my alternator and battery that’s creating issues. Joel got my battery warrantied out to save me a trip to the auto parts store. My car is back to running strong again!Andrew helped check me in and out on both occasions. He was pleasant and explain things from the diagnostics to me so I understand.All in all, I’m satisfied with the service. Thank you Brakes Plus!
First time here and I was very pleased. Andrew provides outstanding customer service. The work was completed quickly and there were no upsells, which is refreshing. I will definitely go back and I will also recommend this place to others.
Took it in last minute today (Saturday) they fixed the issue at no charge and were, quick, efficient and honest! Definitely recommend!
I started bringing our cars here years ago when I first lived in Lakewood. I was always happy with the service & affordable pricing. Im back in Lakewood & Im beyond excited with the convenience of the location. Joel is awesome. He recently went over & above getting my brakes done when I needed to get to another appointment. Went back today for an oil change, same great service!
So grateful for Joel, Andrew, and the rest of their incredible team! Brought my car in to get my serpentine belt replaced, and had them check on my rotors and brake pads. I am thankful for their time, energy, and effort in educating me on continued car maintenance. Incredible people and grateful for them to keeping my car safe on the road!
Loved the customer service and how quickly they were able to service my car despite being busy. I got my front rotors resurfaced and my brake fluid flushed; my car slows smoothly now. Thank you guys!
They are professional and courteous and do their best to get things done properly!! Been going to this store for years and have never had a problem
These guys are literally the best.During a lot of car issues that have caused me a lot of grief, Joel and everyone at Brakes Plus were incredibly communicative and helpful through the entire ordeal.I was being strung along by a car warranty/coverage company, and Brakes Plus helped me through all of it. They were so attentive and communicative that I eventually quit working with the coverage company and had Brakes Plus do everything instead. Their hard work let me trust that they had my best interests in mind, and I was not disappointed.They went above and beyond in every way possible. What could have been a terrible and stressful experience being without a car, was made unbelievably easier with the help and professionalism of Joel and everyone else at Brakes Plus.Thank you so much guys, see you next time!
Was treated very well here. The gentleman I worked with Joel was very knowledgeable and explained recommended repairs thoroughly. The repairs were done on time and my car has never ran better! I am glad to have finally found a honest repair shop and will be a returning customer!
These guys are great. very professional, very nice. exceptional work every time!
This place is a godsend. Went in to get my brakes done and they worked with me to get everything I needed done. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to help me out. This definitely will be my main stop shop. Such great customer service and very friendly staff. Definitely will be referring and taking all my business to them. Keep up the great work yous are greatly appreciated.
Great customer experience! Knowledgeable and friendly staff, did a complete brake system inspection, found no serious issues and sent me on my wayI would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Brakes Plus!!!
After doing extensive research on multiple companies who provide services for brake replacement in the Lakewood area, Brakes Plus is the best all around when it comes to price, options, professionalism and experience. A special thanks to Joel for taking the time to explain several things to me in depth today. I will definitely be a return customer.
These guys at Break plus are awesome! Best service ever! Very professional. They communicated very effectively. My vehicle is running like a brand new car. They answered all my questions and also made really great recommendations. They also have great coupons. Go check them out in Lakewood.
I had excellent help form Brent. Very friendly staff here. They won’t sell you on anything you don’t need. Definitely would recommend to anybody
Called this place since I thought there was an issue with my power steering fluid. Brent was able to get my car checked out really quickly and offered some suggestions on why I might be experiencing issues. Keith walked me through after they did an inspection of my car and explained everything to me- and gave me some suggestions of things to lookout for. Keith and Brent were great and will be recommending them for any friends or family in need of car service.
Very efficient and professional. Had my problem diagnosed and work completed in less than 24 hours.
Keith and his team handled a tough situation with our daughter’s Jeep that had a bad brake issue. We had to tow the Jeep to Keith’s store on W Colfax over the weekend and we were contacted first thing Monday with solutions and extremely fair pricing. We picked the Jeep up that afternoon with all new brakes and some additional parts to ensure safe operation. Runs like a new Jeep...thank you for your professional attitude and the timely repair! Great work.
The guys at the Colfax Brakes Plus were nothing but professional. They were prompt with keeping me updated on my repairs and were friendly and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. When I wasn’t able to pick my car up at closing, and with heavy snow coming in they even kept my car inside over night so I didn’t have to brush snow off of my car when I was able to get it the next morning. Can’t speak highly enough about Joel and the team at this Brakes Plus.
Always take my car for brakes and oil changes workers are always polite
Great place. Honest and quick
Joel did a great job and was very professional. He answered all our questions and provided us with great service. The tech working on our vehicle was also very professional.
Quick and effective, friendly and knowledgeable. Website made appointments easy, employees who arent condescending made the entire experience less stressful. Overall good service!
From start to finish the team in the front was very helpful and professional. Brent made sure all the necessary questions were asked to better diagnose my vehicle. After the test drive the mechanic Jon was able to see the problem real quick. I had my vehicle trouble shot and fixed within 3 hours. Ill definitely be going back to this location in the future.
Excellent customer service. Friendly, quick, and thorough. They explained everything they were doing in a way I could understand. Lol I will definitely be taking my business back! Thanks guys!
Keith and the team were very straightforward and professional. I will be taking all my vehicles for service to them.
MY car was acting up so took her to Brakes Plus. That is just one of y favorite car doctors. They worked on my car for many hours but couldnt find the problem. So went to Pick up my car a d those great greasy men didnot charge me a dime. They made my day a nd my car runs fine...Wierd
Im pleased with the service at brake plus because it was an reasonable price. I recommend to check it out if need service
Joel, Jeremy and the crew at this location were awesome to work with. They communicated well and eased my stress while diagnosing and repairing my car . They went above and beyond!!! Thank you guys!!!
Quick turnaround. Just how I like it. Peace
The service Manager Joel rocks! Very professional with outstanding service! Took great care of me while I had to hang around!!
Stopped by because my car was shaking, they took a quick look and told me what the problem was. Would definitely recommend!
Great experience! Trustworthy dudes!
Saved me almost $300 by resurfacing rotors where other places wanted to charge me for brand new rotors. Customer service is superb and service to my vehicle was completed faster than other break jobs I have had in the past.
The guys at the shop were very professional, let me know right away exactly what needed fixed and how they were going to fix it. They were very friendly and made good conversation while we waited for the repairs to be finished. I highly recommend this shop to anyone.
Great, fast service and no upsells.
I feel that Brakes Plus cares about my vehicles safety, and the price was fair for the services provided. I appreciated the updates on my car as it was being worked on.
Great staff resurfaced rotors, new pads and fluid flush-made parking brake tighter. Thank you😄
Excellent service. Would return again for for brakes when needed
Fast and professional service. Thank you.
Took two different cars here for a pre-purchase inspection. They kept me from buying a lemon for sure! Thanks Brent, Joel, and the rest of the team!
Brakes Plus was recommended to me by a reputable Tire Company as I needed a 2nd opinion on the safety of my vehicle after having been told by the Service Manager of a Mazda dealership that my tires were in such poor shape that all 4 tires needed to be replaced immediately and that they were dangerous to drive on. Additionally I was told by the dealerships’ Service technician there was probably only about 1,000 to 2,000 miles left on my rear brakes and they were so low they should be replaced very soon. Being told your vehicle is dangerous to drive.. well, let’s just say I was concerned about the safety of my vehicle and terrified to drive it so I made an appointment right away with Brakes Plus. At Brakes Plus, the manager personally drove my vehicle to test the drivability, then the technician inspected my brakes, suspension, steering and alignment. I was told not only was there nothing wrong with my vehicle’s alignment or steering/suspension, but that I still had 50-60% of use left on my rear brakes! In fact, the Brakes Plus technician said everything they inspected appeared to be in tip top shape. Coupled with the Tire companies inspection, the Brakes Plus team completely alleviated my anxiety and fear regarding the safety of my vehicle having been told it was too dangerous to even drive by the dealership. The Brakes Plus team is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy and forthcoming. The Manager is very to the point, personable, calm and most important, genuine. And all of this they did as a courtesy at no charge when they could have easily just tried to sell me some new brakes or an alignment at the least. I rarely ever write reviews but honesty and trust are worth commending. I will definitely be coming back here to get new rear brakes and other services.
I had 2 rear calipers replaced and was charged 641.00! No pads, no roters...just 2 calipers. had no option but to have them done, my brakes were shot. I sadly didnt take the time to research.
Great service and prices
Running late (as usual) for my appointment, I phoned to ask if they could still get me in. I was told if I could leave it for a little longer, they would get it done (i was grateful because the squealing of metal on metal was causing headaches and anxiety). Had hubby follow me to the shop, as I didnt want to sit idly for hours, and went off to run errands. I was 20 minutes away when it was finished, but they were closing in 10. They took payment over the phone and left my keys with the guys at the shop next door to keep them safe. I wish I could remember names of the various people I talked to so I could give kudos. Everyone was nice, friendly and professional. As far as I can tell, they did an excellent job, and the cost was significantly less than the other 4 places I had checked into. Highly recommend.
Great, respectful people and quick service. These guys are awesome.
Quick and great service.
Joel was awesome when helping! Overall speedy visit
Maybe an appointment and was told they could not get to me for almost 2 hours..if that. Not sure why they make an appointment for you if that is the case. Was a total waste of time! I made sure I was on time for my appointment but they cannot be on time for doing the work! Never again.
The general manager Keith and his crew were very polite and clearly explained all the work to be done on my truck. Knowledgeable, flexible and fair. Really helped me out in a tight spot. Would definitely recommend.
Very quick service and very knowledgeable. Will be bringing all my vehicles here
This Brakes Plus experience was so nice that I made sure to get the mechanics name so I could write this review even before I was asked to consider writing one. Firstly, it was nice that this store had recent reviews to look at. What stood out to me about this experience was that there was no bs around trying to sell me things I dont need or convincing me I needed more than I did. As a woman thats a problem that happens often in shops. Im well educated and fairly experienced in dealing with these matters so can usually tell. This shop was so up front and matter of fact with me, it was very refreshing. I was even advised to only have my front pad and rotors replaced - after he pointed out what was causing my issues. He even let/encourage me to poke my head into the wheel well to see it. I was also given a time frame to have the rear axle checked again. Like I said I appreciated this mechanics approach so much I got his name, Keith W. and he is actually the GM. While the cost may have been just a tad higher than what I could get elsewhere, its definitely worth that to have an upfront and honest experience. (Also worth whatever little bit I could have saved to not have to go searching or take a chance on an unknown shop.) My quote was fully explained to me with transparency and I felt comfortable and confident that my car would be well taken care of. Also pleased to say my braking issue was totally resolved by the replacements (as expected after the root of the issue was explained to me). For others looking for an idea of pricing, my service was about $500 for one axle pad/rotors and a fluid flush for an elantra gt (and was complete from appoitment check in for a brake check to out the door in just over an hour). The flush was a recommended service I chose to add knowing the cars service history. I never felt pressured to have any of the services and was given a matter of fact report of my cars condition. Keith was outstanding and I will be back for routine maintenance as well. The cashier was also doing a good job even though he was still learning - he made sure to get assistance when needed so that service wasnt held up.
Paid these guys almost $1,000 for them to incorrectly install new rotors, new ones needed 6 months later after hardly driving the car during Covid lockdown. They lied to me about it when I questioned them having got a second and third opinion from different shops, conveniently just in time for the warranty to run out.I’ve just spent another $1,000 getting them done correctly at a local, trustworthy, professional shop in Golden. Won’t be going back to any Brakes Plus location again. Useless.
I came in today for an oil change and to fix a lug nut and they actually caught a major issue left by another repair shop, Kieth walked me through all the issues related to the problem and gave me some good advice to get it fixed. If the other shop doesnt repair these issues Ill be bringing my business back to this location, Ill also come back for any future oil changes, ect. Highly recommend!
Michael and Mark were fantastic,
They were communicative, friendly, timely, offered a fair price and didnt try to upsell me on anything.
Fast friendly service but they forgot to add wiper fluid...I had to go back. Lazy work!
The guys here were truly amazing! They took the time too explain exactly what was going on with my car and were able to fix it in a limited amount of time. Definitely recommend.
Very nice staff! I was able to get in and out very quick! The manager, TJ, was very helpful in answering any questions I had! I will definitely be back! They gave me a great deal on the work they did and oil change prices looked pretty cheap compared to grease monkey! Very satisfied!
Was able to get me in for brake work when everybody else was 2 to 3 days kept me from being stuck on the side of the roadGREAT STAFF VERY HELPFUL
If your car goes, then it also needs to stop. The friendly folks at Brakes Plus got me all fixed up with new rotors and brakes on the same day with a lifetime warranty. Ill definitely be back!
Great service. Signed up online for an appointment at 4pm and had diagnosed the issue and replaced my brakes by 6 pm
Run away, dont walk!I scheduled an appointment with Brakes Plus on West Colfax for an Oil Change and to have them replace the windshield wiper motor on my passenger side. I called to ask them how the vehicle was coming along and if they could replace a brake light bulb that I had remembered burning out. The service person on the other end of the line proceeded to give me a quote of over $2000 which included rear brakes, front brakes and rotors, a new water pump, and a new oil gasket. The employee said a few things that made me feel un-easy or like I couldn’t trust them he said “Well, aren’t you overheating?” I had told him I wasn’t and he proceeded to tell me he was “Very surprised by that, I cant believe it” he said. Then he asked me if I had noticed any leaky oil on the ground, I told him that I was sure I hadn’t and he backtracked a bit and told me “We can wait on some of this stuff, its not so urgent that we have to do it all today, we can do some of it later...” Knowing that I was going home for Easter I told the guy I wasn’t doing any of that work today, just what I had originally brought my car in for, an oil change and windshield wiper motor repair. I could sense the person on the other end of the line didn’t like me telling him no, and from that point on, that service person did not deal with me. Another employee called me up to let me know my car was finished, and a different person rang me up as well. I did see the person I originally dealt with and it felt weird and tense while I was waiting for them to ring me up and I felt like he was glaring at me. When I got to my home town in Wyoming, they debunked the idea that I needed a new water pump or oil gasket and did my front and rear brakes and rotors for under $1,000...Im so saddened by this overall experience because when we moved to Denver 7 years ago, I went to this location on a whim and we received very good service there. Then about 3 years ago, I had gone in for an oil change and was given an estimate for a new radiator to the tune of about $700. The tech told me that my radiator was cracked, that it did not pass the pressurization test and that I needed a replacement. I told the tech that I had no intentions of replacing the radiator because I wasn’t leaking coolant and my gages weren’t showing indication of running warm, smell of coolant, etc... I just want to take this opportunity to point out that I never did replace this radiator, the radiator I had in my car on Thursday, April 1st is the same one they recommended I replace 3 years ago, and I just think that shows that the estimates these guys give are bogus, because if it was broken last time, why was it not worthy of mentioning on this last visit. I am just so disappointed because, I feel like these guys prey on your fears, when you go into a service station, you want to feel like they have your best interest at heart. Instead I just feel like Im there to help them meet their company mandated quotas. I wont go to this location or any other brakes plus location again, I’m willing to go to a smaller Mom and Pop shop and paying a bit more knowing that they have my best interest at heart. This was your one chance to re-capture my patronage Brakes Plus, and you blew it!
Amazing work done on time and great prices
Went above and beyond to get my truck all set. Cant thank these guys enough
Came in twice within 1 year. First time my wheel was shaking when braking. Replaced calipers, rotors, and brakes. 9 months later the same wheel shaking was happening. Had to have my rotors machined this time. When I asked why the rotors were bad so quickly when we replaced the calipers, rotors, and brakes the 1st time, they tried to blame my driving habits. I havent changed my habits from my last car to this one and never had this issue. Then they said it depends on the car and that some cars are more prone to rotors warping...obviously trying to come up with random stuff. I havent even driven my car that much in the last 6 months cause I tore my acl and had surgery and my wife and I work in the same area and just drive hers. Also havent been driving it in the mountains. I dont think they know what they are doing. Never coming back.Update - Ive increased my rating to 3-stars because the DM reached out to me to see how he can help. Im not looking for anything, but I am glad he reached out, clarified a few things for me, and is going to provide coaching to his staff mainly on the managers arrogance when customers are just asking questions trying to understand.
I only needed two rotors resurfaced. They quoted me $50 over the phone. I get here and its now $117. The original quote was if I brought my rotors in, not on my vehicle, which they failed to mention over the phone. If I could have got the rotors off myself I would have taken them to OReillys and paid $10 apiece. I have now been here for over 2 hours to again get TWO rotors resurfaced. I highly DO NOT recommend.
Good old Americans work here❕ Thank you❕🇺🇲
The general manager ( TJ ) of this location is the best. Hes fair and honest. John who was my mechanic was very upfront with what I needed right now and what I might need in the future. This will be my go to place for my vehicles needs. I would suggest it to my friends and family.
Great service & good referrals.
I was recommended here by my fiancé and they did not disappoint! I was welcomed immediately upon showing up, and they got my car in and out quickly! I will definitely be returning!
They did a great job with my car. Honest and in constant communication.
When I first went in I was originally quoted over 900. to have my brakes serviced. After speaking with the gentleman and asking about the bare bones/economy package to get safely back on the street it dropped to 500.Update:I do appreciate Rich reaching out from the corporate office and going thru the invoices with me. He explained how the process should work. Rich talked me thru the brakes plus process and made things right and that’s great customer service.Thanks Rich!
Keith was professional and they were able to do a full brake job in just a few hours. They explained everything they did and I’ll be coming back in the future.
I really appreciated the efficiency and and dedication to my appointment. I was greeted and helped immediately as I walked in and it was very quick!! Highly highly highly recommended, going here every 3,000 miles now (:
I took my car here for a brakes inspection because Im new to the area and I was looking for a garage that specialized in brakes. I was advised of everything that would need replacement, with specific information about how much life these parts had left. I then picked which tasks I could afford to have done at that time and they were completed on time. The next day, I returned to get the front rotors replaced. I received a call from this shop in the afternoon and was informed that the car was ready to be picked up. When I went to pay I was informed that the front brake pads had also been changed out because they had 15-20% life left and it saved me the shops cost of labor to have them done while the rotors were done. I had at no point requested that work to be done. At no point was I asked if they could go ahead and change out those front brake pads. I can change brake pads and my neighbor can do it for me too, given enough time. I needed the rotors replaced sooner, thats all. Ultimately they compensated me for the $59 brake pads but still charged me $70.99 + tax for the labor to replace them.
The service was great but they quoted me $6oo and something for the ball joints on my 08 Sierra I take it in 2 weeks later and its nine hundred and something dollars Parts when they quoted me were $400 and something for part and then somehow mysteriously $600 and something when I took it in ? definitely not taking any of my cars in even for an alignment!!!
I called last minute needed a quick Radiator flush, they fit me right away.
Had brought my vehicle in for service including brakes. Had an issue with the brakes afterwards but they took care of the issue and had me on my way quickly.
Best service we ever received. Would recommend to anyone in need of services on their vehicle. Definitely 10 stars five does not do justice.
AVOID! Oil change, new brakes, and tire rotation. The gift of incompetence that keeps giving:Week 1Failed brakes, given a oil change coupon in compensationMonth 1Two lost lug nutsYear 1Noticed tires were put on backwards (no wonder the cars been slipping)Crossthreaded tire stud, $80 fix
Efficient workers, excellent customer service, clean store front would definitely recommend.
Came in last Friday and Tj was amazing. I called later in the afternoon with some issue with my emergency break. He did not hesitate to get my vehicle in and solve the problem. I highly recommend this location great service and very professional!
Fair prices,and fast service! You cant go go wrong here!
The folks here are great; Keith took great care of me here & Ill continue recommending this BP in particular.
These guys here at brakes plus are awesome!! They have fast and friendly service. Chris had my car in and out in no time and was able to give me advice on future maintenance. By far the best experience Ive ever had bringing my car to the shop. I will definitely be bringing it back for all future maintenance.
Brent and his team are awesome very friendly and professional they make sure to show you exactly what’s wrong with your vehicle walk you threw it step by step I will defenetly be coming back and also recommending my friends here Thank you guys!!! 🙌🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🤝
The manager Keith is absolutely amazing! He took great care of my jeep and got me back on the road in less time than they had estimated! I highly recommend this brakes plus! 5 stars is no where near enough!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had a great experience with this shop today. They explained the brake check thoroughly, completed everything quickly, and were very friendly. I had to wait and everything was done very fast. I will be happy to bring my car here again in the future for everything it needs. I feel they were honest with me about my cars needs.
Service and price were great! I called to see if they could get my in today he said their schedule was pretty packed but if i could get there at 1:30 they could fit me in. They called me promptly with the diagnosis and had the work completed shortly thereafter. My car is running great now! Thanks guys...look forward to working with you again in the future.
Amazing customer service! They were very professional and fast! Thank you so much for the great oil change!
The most honorable, honest, and helpful mechanics I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with, being an east cost transplant I have been to plenty of mechanics and none have ever treated me so kindly as to eat labor cost just so I can drive home safely. These guys are true life savers metaphorically and literally. TJ was so kind and helpful I could not have asked for better help. Thank you breaks plus and staff!
Friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to work and communicate with
I took my brand new used- Rav 4 to different mechanic to have the struts replaced. When I got home I realized that transmission fluid was leaking like a broken faucet. When I took it to Brakes Plus Lakewood I had the best experience Ive ever had at a mechanic. The service took way longer than they thought because the previous mechanic had installed the wrong part and it was stuck ! I had to leave the car overnight but I was leaving town for a few days that evening. I really did not want my new car to be parked outside. TJ understood and drove into into the garage each night.These guys show you the issue and show you what they are doing to fix the problem. They treat you like part of the process! The kindness and service is impeccable! Highly recommend.
Great management; knowledgeable and qualified workers; honest and fair. Its nice to see place that knows the value of treating customers well for good reputation and repeat business versus some of these hack shops out there. These guys go above and beyond!As another reviewer noted, Ive always felt noticeably less intimidated or nervous/edgy as a female whenever Ive been there. Good vibes with these guys :)
Brakes Plus is my go to shop for all my car needs. They’re fast, organized, and always get my treated for whatever it needs. I recommend Brakes Plus to all my friends and family.
In general, the staff was very efficient and friendly. Chris did an exceptional job and was very informative about indicators of needed service. He even showed me the extreme wear on the part that needed replacing He told me what was urgent and what could wait. I sure appreciate an honest and informative mechanic. I will definitely be returning for future work. Thank you!
