Ted & Bob’s Service

These guys are awesome! Extremely honest, great prices, and amazing attitudes. I’m so glad I found them. I’ve only had my car in for routine maintenance so far (luckily), but the prices are a fraction of what a dealership would charge, plus they definitely put a smile on my face with their great customer service, friendliness, and helpfulness. They will be my go-​to shop from now on. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

Ted is awesome. I took my car in for an alternator exchange and oil change, and he had it done that same day. Fair prices! Thanks Ted!

These guys are seriously the best! My dad usually fixed my car but since moving to Denver that wasn’t an option. I thought my brakes were getting bad so I called, made an appointment and was in in the next couple days. The one thing I really appreciated was that they called me throughout the entire process. Originally, they were just going to do the front brakes but after checking out the back, they realized those needed to be changed as well. They didn’t end up charging me labor for the back brakes which I thought was so genuine. Overall, it ended up being about $ 400 and they had it done quickly.
Most recently, my car was struggling to turn on if at all. I called and they told me it was probably the battery but they wanted me to come in so they could make sure everything else was okay. It was and they sent me on my way to a battery shop.
They’re the sweetest, most honest car guys out there, couldn’t recommend enough!

Excellent auto repair service. Friendly, knowledgeable advice. Honest and nice. Great value. Highly recommend !

I’ll add to the consensus here. I’ve visited Ted & Bob’s twice now, once with my 2003 Honda Civic and once with my 2004 Subaru Outback. I walked away from both experiences feeling that my car issues had been fully resolved and confident in my vehicles. Furthermore, I felt that I had been treated fairly and never been given a run around -«just the facts, ma’am!»
My Honda Civic had some alignment issues, needed a serpentine belt replaced and had some squeaking in the front right strut. Ted & Bob replaced the belts at a great price, and referred me to an alignment center down the road for my other needs (they have a great online reputation as well). When I had questions about my vehicle, Ted grabbed a flashlight and took the time to walk me through the various repairs he made. I was impressed that he also told me about repairs that he noticed, but could wait a while until they were necessary.
My good experience continued with my Subaru Outback. I came in with a laundry list of repairs and requests, including a front brake pad replacement and a noisy exhaust. Ted & Bob were able to fix just about everything, and referred me to another shop for the items they couldn’t. I’d also note that the costs were well BELOW what I expected when I researched the repair online.
I’d happily recommend Ted & Bob’s to anyone and everyone, as they have continued to earn my patronage through exceptional service and friendly interactions. Repairs have been quick, costs have been low and the entire experience completely painless (how many mechanics can you say that for?!) Thanks, Ted & Bob!

Ted & Bobby have been my family mechanics for years!!!
They are the only people I truly trust and respect what they are saying!
They are the real deal, knowledge, honest, fair, and looking out for your best interest not theirs.
They have so much knowledge and give great advice!
If you ever need help and wanted something to be fixed there your guys!!!
They have my loyalty!

My car was having some serious problems. I called Ted & Bob’s and they were able to get my vehicle in immediately. Ted kept me informed throughout the entire repair process, which really put my mind at ease. Ted and Bob are seriously some of the nicest people I have ever met. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!

Short but sweet. I came to them because of their Unilocal review, and I have never regretted it. They’ve had this shop, at this location, for 51 years. The brothers (sons of the founder) run it now and they are first class folks. Honest, kind, and fair. Who could ask for more?

First time I called over was to ask if they would inspect/​repair a tire with an apparent leak. They said they didn’t do that there, but sent me to a great place nearby and they were VERY specific that I go to one over another. It was a good suggestion, I was in and out of the recommended tire repair shop in under 15 minutes with one less screw in my tire!
After that positive phone experience by phone I took my 2013 Subaru Forester over for an oil change about a month later (when the sticker from the dealer said it was due). It was pouring rain, but I pulled up under the awning and Ted and Bob welcomed me. Confirming who I was and offering to drive me down the street to the coffee shop so I wouldn’t have to walk in the rain. Bob (I think) took me down and even offered to pick me up when they were done.
Maybe an hour later they were finished. They gave the car a once over and told me it was in good shape (just bought CPO in June 2015 so I hadn’t had any work done previously). I had asked about rotating the tires and they said it wasn’t needed yet (pretty nice, since they could just do it and make some extra money). They also told me the oil was relatively clean and that I don’t need to come back as often as I had been told by the dealer!
Ted and Bob are super honest guys. It’s no wonder they’re often very busy! I’m happy to have found a shop closer to my house (and a good coffee shop)!

This is an old-​school shop. Don’t expect free latte and WI-​Fi. But if you value honesty and straight answers, you’ll like these guys. Also if you are allergic or sensitive to smoke be-​forewarned this is a smoker-​friendly shop.

I got there late and they were backed up, but they did refer me to another shop closeby to make sure that the problem with my steering wasn’t something major or unsafe before I take a road trip. I will be back to give them business for sure.

I didn’t use them Bc they didn’t have alignment gear, but I called Bc of all the great reviews. Ted was sooooo nice and gave me a number to a place that could help me. How awesome is that?!

I’ve never had a better experience at an auto shop than I have at Ted & Bob’s. They’ve changed my oil many times, fixed my wheels, and changed my timing belt. They are sweet and genuine mechanics who know what they’re doing. They won’t try to upsell you or anything like other shops will. I also had my car break down near the shop and even though they couldn’t work on it, they let me keep my car parked on their lot for a whole week until I figured out where to get engine repair work done. I HIGHLY recommend Ted & Bob’s!

They are the sweetest. I called to make an appointment to diagnose a squeaking sound, and was told to come by anytime. I stopped by the same day, he looked at my car, told me what was wrong, and sent me on my merry way with a reference. No charge, they are just kind and know a lot about cars! As someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars and dreads the day that something needs fixing, I’ve come to expect haggling with car mechanics, looking up their diagnosis to verify it, and waiting for hours. I’m so happy and glad I stopped by Ted and Bob’s!

Ted and Bob are the absolute best! Honest, fair, knowledgeable, friendly, and fast! They helped me solve a minor issue in my vehicle that other auto shops were exaggerating and attempting to charge $ 300+ more for! I will be going to them for all my car needs forever!

These guys were great. Clear on pricing and made an appointment easily over the phone. Super pleasant in person. Pleased with service, price, and experience. Definitely an «old school» service shop.

Man, brought my car in for brakes and they found 1100 other things that were wrong that I hadn’t realized. Brought it in at 11, left at 3 the same day without having my wallet lightened all that much. ¹¹⁄₁₀ would recommend. Ted and Bob are the MAN!

Ted and Bob make you feel like family even with your first visit. They are honest and always have provided me with the best service. I am so grateful for the time they take with me to problem solve and explain my best options.

Ted and Bob are fabulous mechanics I trust and who always show me a great deal of respect. They are definitely low-​tech, but do great work.

This is one of the best, most thorough, and most honest car service stations that I have ever been to in my life. I took my car here because it was stalling out while I was driving it. I had exhausted almost all option and no one could find out what the issue with my car was. A friend of mine recommended Ted and Bob because he said that they would spend as much time as needed to figure out the issue and then fix it if they could.
They spent about 3 days with my car and then couldn’t really figure out what the issue was. They called me and suggested one small repair that would cost around $ 80. They did not charge me for diagnosing the issue which took almost 3 days. I paid them the $ 80 and left happily, but they told me that this may not have fixed the underlying issue.
A few days later, the car was having the same issues so they told me to bring it back to them. They spent almost a week diagnosing the issue and decided that it was actually a computer issue and they did not know how to fix it. He said that he was taking the car to a friends auto shop down the street, West Highlands Automotive (whom I also highly recommend), and that I Should get in touch with him. I asked him what I owed for the diagnosing and he said absolutely nothing.
This place is very old school and they may not have all of the tools and diagnostic materials necessary for a lot of newer cars, but they are honest men who really care about their customers. They couldn’t actually fix my car, but they found someone who could and didn’t even charge me for all of the trouble that they went through trying to figure out the issue.
I love this place and would highly recommend it to everyone! They really do go above and beyond, are very quick in what they do,

I just walked out of this garage very satisfied with my new brake pads and rotors. The price was reasonable and Ted communicated with me about every option. This is old school service at its best. When I asked about a warranty he said, «If you have a problem come see me, I’ll fix it.»
It’s really nice to find a mechanic I can trust.

There is a reason these guys have 5 Stars! Fast honest service at a reasonable price and going above and beyond. Highly recommend A+

Its so awesome to have discovered an honest mechanic. I’ve been to these guys a handful of times, and each time they treated me right. Once I went in and basically said «I think my rear brakes are worn out» (translation: please charge me a couple hundred bucks). I come back a few days later and they tell me that the brakes still have some life, the rotors just needed to be cleaned. When I asked what I owed for the cleaning, he says «oh, $ 20 should do it», almost like it was an afterthought and he wasn’t even certain he was going to charge me.
Show me another mechanic who would do that.
When I have priced having work done, Ted and Bob have been the cheapest every single time. And the work has been flawless.
Likewise, as other reviewers have experienced, they have at times referred me to other mechanics when they weren’t able to do a job. These mechanics that they referred me to have also been excellent, and just as fairly priced. (See my other reviews if you are curious)
Stop reading reviews and bring your car to Ted and Bob. They’ll treat you right, and they’ll either fix it, or tell you who can, for a fair and honest price.

I called Ted & Bob’s hoping to get in today, but they have more business than they can handle today.
Here’s the good part: Ted & Bob’s referred me to another auto repair shop in the neighborhood who, the fellow said, are good and honest. I already know half a dozen shops which definitely are NOT, so that was a welcome recommendation.
I’ve lived in Denver since 1981, and this is the first time I can recall any auto service center referring me to another (competing) business. Since customer service is a dying concept and _​very_​important to me, this simple referral was a sufficiently positive sign I felt I’d write a short review.
We plan to get our car in to Ted & Bob’s eventually, the next time we need help. I will post an update after that.

I also feel the need to proclaim my love for Ted & Bob’s Service.
This little old school shop has saved me on multiple occasions. About a year ago my car was making some very loud & funny noises, it was almost unbearable to drive… Honda dealership couldn’t seem to properly identify the source. As a woman I desperately hate walking into ANY car repair business because, well, so many of them are crooks. I found Ted and Bob on Unilocal and sure enough, they diagnosed the issue as a wheel bearing that was about to wear out. It was an unusual situation because my mileage was nowhere near when cars normally wear out bearings, hence why Honda made assumptions and didn’t even consider it. They were already my heroes for solving the problem but on top of this they were super fair in price and treated me with respect. I’ve continued to call Ted & Bob first with all car concerns. They are simply wonderful to work with!

I moved away from Denver and still miss these guys. They’re the most honest mechanics that I’ve found anywhere. I’ve taken my truck there a few times and they would always listen to my problems, figure out where to start and didn’t want to just throw parts at problems. They are very respectful and attentive to customers — I’ve got no complaints.
In short, there’s just not a better mechanic out there. Take your car to Ted and Bob. Period.
