I had a good experience. We have had them do all sorts of work on many different vehicles. We have gone away from most every other mechanic and now have almost everything done by them. They are very honest, reliable, competent and close.
Description of Work: For automotive mechanics I use Black Forest Automotive. The last time I was there was an oil change on my car.

We use them on the little stuff. The price is very reasonable. They have to order parts most of the time. We've used them for years.
Description of Work: They did an inspection and maintenance on our car.

They have the greatest prices and don't perform unnecessary work. They have let us bring our own parts in as well and everyone on the phone is very accurate at providing estimates out of their job guides it seems. We have been incredibly pleased with all of their work and every interaction to date.
Description of Work: We have had three services performed there in the past three months. One time they didn't even charge us after not finding anything. Eric even took the time to go on a test drive with us to see if he could experience what was wrong with our SUV.

No further problems in this area. Had transmission problems with another vehicle recently and called Black Forest because of the positive experience I had had with them earlier. They were unable to schedule me in because of the high demand resulting from the Black Forest fire, but were very responsive and pleasant, and referred me to another reputable shop.
Description of Work: This event was quite some time ago. Main Computer failed. Provider found used computer to replace failed unit.

Best mechanic around. He figured out the problem, made the repairs under estimate.
Description of Work: Eric and Black Forest Automotive has been our mechanic for years. Trustworthy, honest and professional. He has performed maintenance and repairs on 30 year old car as well as newer models. The last repair was an older car that he had troubleshoot. He figured it out quickly and was less expensive than his original quote. The best.

Description of Work: Black Forest Automotive is by far the best in Colorado Springs. The owner, Eric, is honest, thorough, and never charges more than necessary. I have been a loyal, happy customer for years. I highly recommend.

Have never had a bad experience.......
Description of Work: have used them over several years to service my autos and trucks - always professional, friendly and good! Occasionally the prices seem a bit high, but I sacrifice a few extra dollars on occasion for the comfort of knowing they are actually performing the service I am paying for. Have also purchased a car with a salvage title from them, which they fixed, in 2006 (98 Acura) - my daughter is still driving daily and has had virtually no problems with this car.

I highly recommend them. They are very honest and fairly priced. I have used them for years. They are really, really good. It is small shop but they do really good work and they are very sweet. My whole family uses them; my sister, niece and daughter. They have used cars there that they have fixed and they sell them for really good prices; my daughter bought a car there. They are very nice to women; they don't treat you like an idiot because you are taking in your car. They are busy so you have to make an appointment. We had a mouse in our car once and it smelled so they stopped what they were doing and took care of it immediately. They are nice people. I am so impressed with them I keep going back. If I don't like someone I don't go back. I can't find fault with anything they have done. They do what they say they are going to do; they don't tell you that you need something if you don't need it. If they say the car will be ready by 3 p.m. it will be ready. This is the only auto repair company that we use.
Description of Work: I used Black Forest Auto Center for auto maintenance and repair.

I've been using them over the years and this was the first time I had a surprise on the bill. They are usually pretty reasonable. I've never had a problem with the work they have done over 8 or 9 years. I think they are honest, straight forward. They generally get the work done when they say they will.
Description of Work: They did work on my truck. I had it in for a 50,000 mile check up.
