Pellman's Automotive Service, Incorporated

meeting your needs, exceeding your expectations

when i first moved to boulder, two strangers independently recommended them, and i am very happy to recommend them to others.

I found these guys when my Tire-Rack drop-ship tire installer retired and referred his customers to Pellman's. Sure, they'd do the tire installation. A bit like happened for Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruler of the Queen's Navy, I edged my way into having them do more and more work on our cars. They have been absolutely super. Friendly, pro-active, personal, fast, fair -- they've been just what I want in a car repair shop. E.g. they replaced a Ford part (the turn-signal switch) when it failed within a year after its originally being replaced; no labor cost, and I don't think they recovered the cost of the part from Ford, either. Another time, Eric (a mechanic who's been with them for a long time) sold me an air conditioning compressor he had lying around the house, for a lot less than I'd have had to pay for a new one. This was just fine because the car's a 1988 CRX that I don't maintain in as-new condition.

These guys are great! They have satisfactorily worked on my 1989 Acura Integra, 1996 Nissan Maxima, 2001 Audi S4 and 1976 Ford F250 4x4. Always courteous and knowledgeable, highly recommendable!

I'm amazed that so few people have reviewed this very capable shop. They've been good to us, helpful to us, accurate every time, and reasonably priced.

I took my car in this week (April 3, 2007) because of a weird "card-in-the-spokes" sound coming from the tires whenever I drove it. I pulled into the Pellman parking lot, and Dan, the exceptional front desk guy, came out before I got out of my car. He told me the likely problem with the car was that there was something wrong with the hupcap! How in heck did he know before I even got into the office? It turns out that the owner, Brad Pellman, drove in at the same time I did and told Dan that was probably what was wrong with the car. As soon as the hub cap was removed, there was no more sound. If I ever move far away, I will try to find someway to bring my car to Pellman's when it's broken. Pellman's is simply the best auto mechanic service I have ever been to. Dan can talk to people about their cars so that they understand the problem. And the mechanics can fix anything. Pellman's is not always the cheapest, but the cost is not out of sight, either. And the shop is the best.

I have been going to Pellman's for approximately 6 years now. I have taken my Jeep and Toyota and my Father-in-law's Lumina to their shop. I was sold when my 1994 Jeep Cherokee had 125,000 miles on it and I told Dan to do everything the owners manual suggested. He looked at the list and said, "This is gonna cost between $700 and $800." I said, "Just do everything they recommend." Well, Dan called me at work and said that many of the items on the list were fine and did not need to be replaced. The total bill was for about $200. These guys rock! I have sent many friends and collegues to their business. They are simply the best! Even my Mother-in-law is happy with their service!
