Charley’s Garage

My Tacoma mysteriously overheated last month (many times) and I took it to two other shops; the first couldn’t find anything wrong and the second found everything wrong! After reading great reviews for Charley’s Garage on Unilocal,I took it in. The discovered that the radiator was clogged (on the outside), cleaned it, and took it for a test drive. It has been two weeks and my Tacoma hasn’t overheated, my coolant level is level, and I am very happy with Charley’s! They charged a fair price and I will definitely go back if I need to!

I have taken my toyota camry there 3 times and every time they fix the problem in a timely manner to say nothing of a very fair price. I will be taking my camry back for service when it needs it.

Charley’s Garage is my (Charley) is my mechanic /​automotive shop of choice.
I have a 2000 Toyota RAV-​4 that just passed 90K miles and it was running a bit sluggish on my commute to /​from Thornton when I was working a temporary job. I called his shop, explained the symptoms to Charley himself (he usually answers the phone himself) and he told me it sounded like a spark plug issue. He made me an appt. for the next day and when I got a call at work from him, that’s exactly what it was. He also told me there were a couple of things that would benefit from doing the Toyota recommended 90K mile tune-​up. It turns out that for everything they did, it was amazingly economical. It was obvious they weren’t trying to take advantage of me by replacing anything that didn’t need it, charging me more than the «real» cost, etc. The entire bill was a mere $ 500!!! My RAV hasn’t run so well as it did when I left Charley’s.
They specialize in Toyota’s, to they are all over the place. It looks like a Toyota graveyard, really, but I believe they are all running, or will be, as they just keep on going. :D
Charley has my business for this vehicle, and any other Toyota I may own. They are honest, knowledgeable, and friendly. So is their garage dog! *woof woof*
P. S. As great as they have been, even when I just call with a question, I hope not to have to visit them often. I do have to do my oxygen sensor though… but that has to wait for now. They even quoted me on that and I was surprised that it won’t «break the bank.»

Outstanding customer service! Charley’s garage not only had me on my way in a very short amount of time, they didn’t even charge me, because unlike many repair shops that get you for things you do not need, nothing was wrong with my truck. I not only saved time and money, but saved being taken advantage of for things I do not need. I will definitely be bringing my truck back to Charley’s Garage as they are the best Toyota service in Colorado!
