Arvada Automotive Center

Stopped in for an oil change and Zach was very friendly and helpful. The waiting room was inviting and clean and they did the oil change super fast.

The guys that work here are so honest and very sweet! I don’t know anything about cars and they never make me feel stupid, I really recommend this auto shop!!!

We always take our cars here. The are very nice and trustworthy

Zach and the mechanics at Arvada Auto are fast, friendly and knowledgeable as well as ethical and trustworthy with foreign and domestic cars. We brought our Mitsubishi in at 8 am and they were done by 11:30. Fixed our brakes, rotors and oil change. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great local automotive repair shop.

If you are looking for an auto shop that is fast, friendly and honest, this is the place for you. People obviously have tons of auto shops to choose from but these guys are the best. Whether it is a quick oil change or a major repair, they will meet you with a smile and with dignity and respect. Let’s face it, going to the auto shop is rarely a pleasant experience but they make it as good as possible. Ken, the owner, and Zack the manager will treat you right I promise.

I have had multiple experiences with this business and they have all been positive. Oil changes, new tires, tire patch. The prices are reasonable, and everything has been completed timely. Happy to support a local business rather than the ubiquitous chains that are around!

Thank you Zack and crew! Finding a mechanic you can trust is no small feat in today’s world. Arvada Automotive Center is the best. Zack and his crew are not only extremely knowledgeable, but the service they provide is second to none. They actually care about their customers and work to form long lasting relationships that are based upon a good old fashioned value… trust. Whether it’s a simple oil change or a mystery issue take your vehicle to Arvada Automotive Center!

Going to a new auto diagnostic and repair business is usually entering an RO Zone. (Rip Off Zone).
Not here! Zack made an appointment for us to bring our 2003 Ford Taurus for electrical diagnosis. Another auto shop gave us an EXPENSIVE repair estimate and we wanted a second opinion before the inevitable money dance began. Being on a senior income only allows a little wiggle room and the scramble for funds had begun.
Arvada Automotive Center did NOT get the message that seniors and women are easily exploited. They were totally honest up front with us about potential charges, time to do the work and what they could or could not do. We were able to make a fully informed decision to do whatever necessary to get back on the road. They fully understood that we want to keep our car — we love it! By noon the first day, the scary call from Zack came. Waiting for the call that would soon become a $ 2,000 reality had my toenails having seizures. Instead, he told us there was no short, no electrical problem, just needed a new battery. Ha! That was my first question at the other place! I know they worked more than a few hours making certain that was all. But they only charged one hour plus the battery. It just couldn’t have been a better experience.
If you want superb, experienced, quality service and to be treated with the utmost respect and honesty, try them. I would recommend this business to anyone.

We LOVE Arvada Automotive Center! They are really HONEST and never try to sell us things we don’t need. They get us in quick and even helped us decide on a good used car. They did the inspection on it before we bought it and felt confident in our purchase because of their opinion! We take all our cars there and HIGHLY recommend them to EVERYONE! Zack especially has been GREAT! You won’t be disappointed!

We got a coupon in the mail for a free oil change — that was like 8 years ago and other than out of town emergencies, we haven’t gone anywhere else.
The people at Arvada Auto are friendly and informative. They have repeatedly worked with us when our finances have really not supported major auto repair — telling us what must be done now and what can wait a few months as well as what can just be ignored. We have a mini van with electrical issues and they have spent hours working on it, and a couple times without even charging us. They are upfront about cost as well as the time they will need to fix it and when they can get to it.
Arvada Auto makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time to a more trustworthy era where the businesses you go to are owned by your friends & they are looking out for your best interest and not just the bottom line.

I am one of those guys who knows very little about cars. Not so bad as to think headlights need headlight fluid — I know when I’m being BS’d. Arvada Automotive Center doesn’t BS me, and they actually teach me a thing or two about my car.
My first visit to AAC was for an oil change and to have them investigate why my engine was sounding weird — it was running a little loud. They discovered that there was a shroud or something like that that was cracked and thus, the engine ran louder. It didn’t affect the performance of the car, though, and Ken told me that straight up. It was something I was concerned about in the first place, and he easily could have told me «you need to spend the $ 800 to fix this» and I probably would have. But no, Ken was straight with me, my car runs fine and I can deal with a little extra noise.
I recently went here because our transmission fluid needed flushing. AAC’s price was much lower than at the dealer for the same set of steps performed. Our brakes had been shuddering too. The dealer, who charged for the brake check, recommended only changing the pads and turning the rotors. When I went to AAC for a 2^nd opinion, Ken recommended changing pads, changing rotors, and changing the calipers, too. His free inspection found that one of my rotors was cracked and that due to bad calipers my pads were wearing terribly unsymmetrically. Yeah, it ended up costing me a little more money, but Ken saved the parts and showed everything to me (one of the pads was worn down to nothing) and made me feel confident in my decision to get the full monty done. We carry precious cargo around in that car now and the brakes are working much more smoothly and safely.
We get our oil changes here, too, and anytime we need something done on either of our cars, we always take it to AAC.
