Casey's Automotive

I have never met more honest car guys anywhere... They treated me right and the repairs cost less that they estimated before they started...

This shop is especially strong in body work which is Neil Casey's specialty. But he and his several employees do good competent mechanical work otherwise and are especially adept at finding good used parts for old cars in old car lots. They explain problems clearly and also when a problem exceeds their capabilities..very few do! Casey's is prompt in solving winter car-start problems and other problems which prevent a car from going to the shop. My wife and I are very appreciative of Casey's work and concern for our car problems. When my wife ran into our garage door and brought it down on our car -- a minor catastrophe--Neil Casey was prompt in coming up to remove the door from the top of our car, fitting the broken rear light parts temporarily together with strong package tape, and most important giving kind supportive counsel to my distraught wife! How about that!

These folks really are fantastic. I took my car in to get my brake pads replaced, front and back, and they charged me about half of what every other place I checked with quoted me. Since I had to leave my car overnight (not their fault, I came by late in the day), the owner gave me a ride back home and picked me up in the morning as well, and he was a really nice guy about it too. One thing though is that this place DEFINES hole-in-the-wall, so I would make sure you have their phone number when you go- you might not find it without giving them a call, and there aren't any signs.

I didn't have time to check out my 1999 Honda Odyssey in Colorado Springs before going to a family reunion in Estes Park -- I needed to have the van checked out before my son and girlfriend borrowed it for a western, 3000+ mile road trip after the reunion. So I checked the Car Talk Mechanics Files and liked what I read about Casey's Automotive. I called from Colo. Spgs. and set up an appointment after discussing the car's symptoms -- Neil Casey's diagnosis agreed with my mechanic's. The repair was done, but we forgot to replace the battery (secondary symptom, car had occasional problems starting in cold weather the previous winter). When my wife tested the van at altitude (11000+ feet) there were no issues until she stopped an overlook. She could not get the car re-started and a good samaritan got the van restarted. A quick call to Neil late on a Saturday afternoon describing the problem and he said to bring the van right in. Battery replaced, and my son had a great road trip (from 12000+ feet in Estes Park to -282 feet in Death Valley, across deserts, and the hills of San Francisco. I highly recommend Casey's Automotive in Estes Park for regular or emergency vehicle repair.
