I have been using them for the last couple years and have been very happy with their service. They are very honest and AAA rated. The prices are good and a lot better than the Toyota dealer. I appreciate their honesty the most.

My experience @community auto was the best I have had dealing with a auto shop, I came in to get my front end looked at due to another shops shady work, valere was great explaining what was to be done with the inspection and while there I added a oil change, they found out the issue very quickly repaired the simple fix, no charge, and had my car ready to go on time.I cant say thanks enough for there service.this will b the only place I take my cars for any service.

The antilock break light came and Community auto ran a diagnostic test and found a bad sensor. They replaced it and the ABS brakes have been fine ever since.

Super good service as usual.  Great customer service and superior mechanic work.  We were given a loaner van for the weekend just so the battery could be properly tested.  

Unfortunately many automotive shops will try sell new part without proper testing the old ones because it take time, effort and knowledge.  How do I know? I'm am the son of an auto mechanic and grew up fixing cars, trucks and occasional farm tractors and because mechanics know who the good and bad mechanic shop are - they hear all the results.

Because of my automotive knowledge, I can evaluate automotive service quality very quickly.   I screened out many automotive shops quickly when I first moved to Fort Collins in the late 90's and found Community Automotive.  I have been taking my vehicles to and trusting them to Community Automotive ever since.  Community Automotive has had the same owner, Eric Warrington and given me the same quality service for 17 years.

The staff always keep us in the loop, communicate well, give pretty accurate estimates and do the job right the first time. They might be a bit more expensive than other providers, but we know our vehicles are being taken care of by experienced, well-trained and thorough technicians and there are no surprises. The front office staff is very knowledgeable and can discuss the intricacies of the work.

Community Auto has been the main mechanic for my cars since I moved to Fort Collins in ’99. I have always
been impressed by their car knowledge, customer service and reasonable prices.
When I was a student struggling to make ends meet they would go out of their
way to get the cost of repairs as low as possible so I wouldn’t break my bank.
They kept my ’97 Plymouth running well until last year when I was able to buy a
newer car. I always thought they were great, but the experience I had this past
December showed me what an amazing company they are!
My ’09 Subaru Forester was acting up and my family and I were getting ready to do a two-day drive to the
Midwest for the holidays. I took the car to Eric and the crew and they saw that
the catalytic converter was failing. Thankfully, it was under warranty for
another 17,000 miles. Happily I took it to the dealership for the repair but
they would not honor the warranty because the check engine light wasn’t on.
This made no sense to my husband and I since clearly the part was failing. The
dealership told us to drive the car to the Midwest and if the light came back
on we could go to a Subaru dealership somewhere on the road and get it fixed.
We were confounded. That seemed like terrible advice. Back to Community Auto we
went. Feeling at a loss, we asked the owner, Eric, directly if he could help
us. He got one of his crew to drive our car for an hour and a half on the
highway in hopes that the check engine light would come on. No such luck, but
what did happen is that the car stopped accelerating above 40mph and his
employee had to return to the shop on the back roads. Thank God we didn’t take
the dealership’s advice and drive it across country.

By now, we were three days away from leaving, had a car that won’t go over 40 and a dealership that would
not honor the warranty of the failing part. We were stressed to say the least.
Eric took my husband aside and gave him kind words of reassurance that
everything would work out. They didn’t charge us for the hour and a half drive
his employee took either. They were great. There was nothing more they could do
for us, but they had done enough. Everyone at Community Auto went out of their
way for us and really cared about our situation. In the long run, things worked
out. My husband went to the owner of the dealership and got the warranty
honored and we were able to leave for our trip on time.
Because of this experience, I am an even more loyal customer to Community Auto. They treated us with respect
and care in a time of crisis and it made all the difference. I can’t thank them
enough for helping us get through that stressful experience.

Community Automotive had a difficult time diagnosing the issue with my vehicle. I ended up bringing it in there several times for the same problem. They initially replaced the fuel pump - which was an $800 service. This didn't fix the problem. I brought it to the Jeep dealership - they indicated that the fuel pump was not working/replaced incorrectly. I brought it back to community auto to find out that it WASN'T working because they put in a cheap part that had been recalled. They then charged me for the actual Jeep part (wish they would've asked in the first place), which was an additional $45. I felt that they should've covered the cost of the part since they didn't ask me about it in the first place and inconvenienced me a second time for the same thing. However, this still didn't fix the problem. I could tell they were stumped and told me that when the vehicle breaks down, they could possibly fix it at that point - to which I responded and quot;so you want me to wait until I'm sitting on the side of the road to fix the problem?and quot; - so much for preventative maintenance. I tried to explain the issues several times, and each time - if an error code didn't come up, they didn't know what to do - so they just started replacing things that I had to pay for. I was very disappointed that this was the costly route they took. I feel that I was generous in giving them several chances, and a chance to fix their original misdiagnosis - and they didn't do it.

Great job as usual. My father was an auto mechanic, so I am picky about who works on my vehicles and know what to look for in auto repair business.
I have been using Community Automotive Service for over 14 years. The owner Eric Warrington runs the best auto shop I have every had the pleasure to do business with.

aI have used Community Auto several times. Each time I found them honest, knowledgeable and price for service very fair. This last time, they correctly diagnosed a problem that another local firm could not find and repaired it. They avoided further more complicated tests that would have been unnecessary expense. Service was timely and I was informed at each step.

They take their time explaining things. They're prompt and are done when they say they'll be done. Their estimates are always on target as well.
