Grand County Automotive - Granby, Colorado

Spun out into an icy ditch in Grand Lake. Got professionally winched out by Dad's (separate 5 star google review). Minivan was driveable but really tough to turn after. Took it to Grand County Auto the next morning. Already had it looked at by early afternoon. Only charged me $50 for the inspection. Lead mechanic (Dave, I think) was honest, straightforward, and supremely knowledgeable. Told me I had probably blown my power steering pump, or second possibility new rack I had put in went bad from crashing into the ditch. Told me I'd be good to drive it home to Fort Collins and take it back to the shop that did the new rack a few weeks prior.

He knew I was in a tight spot, could've easily charged me more or told me I needed to leave it there for a few days until the new PS pump could arrive, but he didn't.

Stand up mechanic, more than fair prices. Won't forget they are there, as I visit the Middle Park valley yearly for an xc ski trip.

Told me his customer base was so large he didn't need the google review, but I felt compelled to because of the great experience I had. THANK YOU!

After stopping at a few other locations, encoutered Dave at this shop. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. While another shop in town said they could not remove the screw in my tire and patch it for three weeks, Dave had me on the road in a little more than a half hour. If you need tire or automobile repairs in Granby, I'd start here. I recommend Grand County Automotive.

I am a photographer and I have never been treated in this terrible manner before.

I spent all day walking around Granby (all public areas) taking photos of the beautiful snowy scenery and didn't have any problems at all until I came to the end of the main street sidewalk and near this place. I stopped for a short break after walking without rest for several hours and took some pictures of the mountains while I caught my breathe.

Not long after I felt eyes behind me. I turned my head and sure enough there was someone walking towards me. I assumed, wrongly, that they were going to ask if I needed assistance, as most self respecting shops do, instead I noticed them stop and silently stare at me. I presume they thought they were hidden from my sight. They weren't and it felt predatory to be stared at in that manner.

I decided to turn back after that, not feeling safe, and not soon after I get stopped by a disheveled looking woman who then asks me why I was taking pictures of her lot. I look at her confused, "What lot?" I asked and she points out the half empty parking lot and modest shop I'd just had the displeasure of walking by. Upset and within my right to not tell her anything about my personal business I informed her that I was a photographer, showed her my camera and told her that I didn't take photos of any lot.

She drove off but that was not the end of my woes! I was nearing the fire station where I had been staying at for a couple of days when I got stopped by a very nice gentleman of a cop. He explained that I had gotten called in for suspicious activity. SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY!? Since when is walking about public roads and sidewalks taking photos of a beautiful landscape suspicious? I gave him a look of disbelief and began explaining my experience with photos to prove it! He let me go on my way after giving me his card so people like this don't bother me again!

I called them to help with a tire that got punctured, it has slow leak and I needed somewhere to get it fixed. Seemed they were too busy but they did refer me on to a great place in Granby. So I do appreciate the referral but would have been better to have had the help.

We are working a summer job in Grand Lake and needed service on our truck early on. Appointments were a few weeks out for Grand County Automotive and we learned why. The owner/operator is a stand up mechanic who does good work and is highly respected and sought after in the area. His prices are fair and he didn’t do any unnecessary work. Now that it’s coming near the end of the season, we wanted to get new tires and bearings on our camper before we leave town. We made our appointment a month ago and had the work done today. The owner was again so fair and honest. He said our bearings look great and don’t need to be replaced. Other mechanics would have just done it and made the extra $. We very much appreciate honest mechanics and highly recommend Grand County Automotive.

Exceptional Service at Grand County Automotive!
They quickly diagnosed the issue with my car and provided a clear explanation of the necessary repairs. The work was completed quickly and at a very fair cost. I was thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Highly recommended!

My local boat mechanic recommended them to us. Had a screw in my boat trailer tire. I removed the tire myself from the trailer and dropped off only the tire, so all they had to do was repair the tire. Charged us $50. Two stars because they did it overnight. But, I think that’s too much to charge. Impersonal customer service. Tire repair is not something I would think I need to shop around for. But will next time.

Just a few days ago I drove into Grand County Automotive with brake issues. I was from out of town, had a carload of people and it was later in the day. Dave finished up working on another car and started working on mine. Luckily the part that was needed was at Napa, who delivered it to Dave (also great service), and we were on our way probably after a total of just 1.5 hours. He had explained what was wrong, we took pictures of the issue (it was the fault of a mechanic in Denver, who has since reimbursed me), and I can’t say enough of how kind, thorough, professional, fair…just everything you would want in a mechanic and business. BRAVO!
