What clients say about Blue Mechanic in El Jebel (CO)
-
Our alternator in our Sprinter went out on the way to Aspen at 5:00pm on a Thursday. We were able to buy one from the NAPA across the street before they closed. After calling around the Glenwood Springs/Carbondale/ElJebel area- Blue Mechanic was the only shop willing to help us out on short notice. The manager Ilario set us up the very next day - Friday. He allowed us to park & sleep in the parking lot since we were traveling and living out of our Sprinter. The mechanic Victor started around 12:30 and was finished around 4:30. Excellent service. So grateful for Blue Mechanic for being so kind and helping us out so quickly!

I've had my vehicle worked on there several times for a couple different issues for my personal vehicle to my work truck I trust him to give me food advice and a fair price. Definitely my go-to mechanic in the valley.

Honest. Accurate and efficient. They took the best care of our family on a camping trip that our center support bearing for the drive shaft went out leaving us stranded literally across the street from their shop. We clunked over there on a prayer. Thankfully they took us in fixed the problem and got us back on the road safely. We’ll never forget their kindness and work ethic. We’re so grateful. Thank you Blue Mechanic!

Wonderful service. We came here in need after we discovered a nail in our tire late in the day. Within minutes of talking to the technicians here, we were back on the road. Would recommend them to anyone in need of mechanical assistance! 10/10

The nicest group of mechanics I’ve ever met. Extremely helpful and great customer service! Best in the RF Valley!

Terrible service on my car and attitude by the manager towards me! I brought my car in to have some work done on the front suspension and received my car with more problems than when I brought it in. They must have heated up my hub to replace the front wheel bearings and ruined my brake rotors that were less than 6 months old! The mechanic lied to the manager and said it was like that when I brought it in and it was my fought. I personally did the brake job myself and know it wasn’t like that when I brought it to them! The main guy I think is the manager or owners name Ilario and he bowed up at me like he wanted to fight!!! I’m a 62 year old man I’m not gonna fight a younger big Mexican guy over this! I would never bring a bicycle to them again much less a car! Terrible service and attitude towards customers😡😡😡

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Blue Mechanic. He is very fair and most importantly, very honest. The amount of money they have saved me after outrageous quotes elsewhere is amazing! I have sent numerous friends here who have been just as pleased. Sometimes it does take a little longer than they say, but it’s like a Dr.’s office - sometimes the car ahead of you takes longer or an emergency comes in. I truly appreciate having this shop in our community!

The WORST experience EVER!!!! Dropped off our vehicle on December 6th. Continued to call over the next few weeks to get an update. No one ever answers the phone or returned a message. Finally had to go in on January 11th. They hadn't even tried to start it yet much less run it through the computer. This place is a JOKE!!!!! I would recommend anywhere else.

A good spot to get basic car needs attended to. Reliable and friendly staff

This place is the place you hope you find when you let a repair go too long and end up stranded. The importance of having a reliable car can be a matter of life and 💀 especially during our winter months and random weather. I will not trust anyone else with my vehicle and services are priced extremely fairly. They get quality parts and do the job right. I discovered this gem when my steering wheel was literally falling off 🤣… car is still going.

A friend recommended this place and I had a great experience here. Fixed my bearings next day. Definitely the one that you want working on your vehicle. He is really good. Great service and the most reasonable price. I will definitely be going back.

It's great to have a shop to go to where the people are genuine and they won't overcharge you. Grateful to have them in the valley!

I had my car towed in with a problem. The owner gave me a good estimate of how much time was required to assess the problem, and then repaired it at a very reasonable cost. I believe that you will be treated fairly and get good professional repair service here.

I'm not one to write online reviews (ever), but my Subaru and I have been customers of Blue Mechanics for over 6 years with good reason. Every single experience I've had with them has been exceptional- they're skilled mechanics, well-priced, friendly, and always seem to go above and beyond to get my car up and running as quickly as possible. My partner now takes both of his cars to them as well and even though we live 30 mins away, it's completely worth it to get our work done at Blue. An actual gem of a mechanic in our frequently overpriced valley.

Heard bad stuff about them, and decided to give them a chance anyway (mainly because they were close). Broke some stuff in my car and didn't even say anything about it. Messed up some front end work which took the next guy a day just to fix what blue mechanic messed up. Would not recommend.

Had an appointment 8 a.m. on a Monday. Had it there exactly on time. Was told it would be ready before the end of the business day. I called at 4:30 p.m. and was told they had not even looked at it yet. Was told they would have it done by the next morning. Went in noon the next day and not only had it not been looked at but the shop was closed for the day. I left a note saying I needed to take the vehicle because of the Thanksgiving holiday. I drove it away. Asked that the owner call me to let me know when I could pick up the key I had left. He didn't call. I went in the next day and after having to sift through a disorganized stack of miscellaneous papers, the owner handed me my key with a grunt. He didn't apologize for the inconvenience or anything. No explanation why he never even looked at my vehicle even though I had an appointment. All he would have to have done was apologize and give me some sort of explanation and I would have given him another chance. He acted like I was the one being a butthead. Don't go there!

Had my Pathfinder brakes worked on and they were more than fair with the price. They also worked on my wife's 1996 Jeep and it runs better than ever. Would recommend for sure.

This is my shop of choice over any other shop in the valley. Although sometimes it does take more time than quoted, they do excellent work for a considerable amount less than other shops. They also offer discounts for locals using cash or local checks. I Took my Tacoma to them to fix a blockage in the heater core this round. They ran an assessment to find the exact issue. Afterwards they called to inform me of the exact issue and what it would require to repair. They waived the assessment fee and fixed the issue for hundreds less than what I was quoted anywhere else. Since repairing the issue required a complete dash removal, there was a small issue with a few of the stereo controls. Once I brought this to their attention, they made things right and helped me to get it resolved immediately.

DO NOT take your car here. I took my Audi here and they said they would get to it the next day. Well the next say turned into 10 days. Then when my car was done (or what they said was done) I didnt get 20 miles before the check engine light came on. I the car to my normal mechanic and it turns out Blue mechanic didnt seal up their fix properly. These guys are scam artist. If you love your car absolutely AVOID Blue Mechanic.

Blue Mechanic got my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee running better than it has in years - put in a new radiator, changed all fluids, and tuned it up. Great job and good people to deal with

Horrible experience, im warning everyone never bring your vehicle to these guys. They will waste your time an not fix your vehicle properly. They had my truck for over month, they lied to me about what was wrong with the truck. After having it for over month, the shop owner/ manager called and said the truck was ready. I showed up an my truck was still in pieces, an still had the same problem it had when I brought it in. They just want to take your money an over charge you. These GUYS are the horrible mechanics you hear about... Please dont bother to waste your time with these guys. The owner is totally clueless about motor vehicles, so that should tell you about his staff. Please don't even bother people...

So I took my car that was overheating to them trying hoping to figure out what was wrong. As I fixed some stuff on my car myself I knew a lot pf problems with it myself so I told them what worked properly what not. When I came to pick up my car they told me that my coolant level was low and they topped it off now it works fine. I knew that it was obviously not the core of the problem as I just put cooland a week ago. He tried to convince me that it was air trapped in the system, although I bleed the system he told me I probably did it wrong. I was trying at least to figure out if my water pump or gasket was causing the issue but the mechanic said that he didn't see any problems with that narrowing everything down to filling the coolant wrong way. I got my car back it started overheaging again the same way. Basically I paid $110 just for filling my car with a coolant which I could do for $8 myself.

This place is massively overpriced. The mechanics are generally pretty good but noone on earth should be allowed to charge $70 for an oil change.

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE! If you are stranded and are looking for a shop right now, spend the extra $ to get to anywhere else. Our van broke down just outside of El Jebel but we knew what was wrong with it so we figured anywhere would be okay. These guys took hours to tell us what we already knew and had already told them. When we finally got our van back, it was backfiring AND misfiring, was leaking antifreeze and would not go over 25mph. The owner tried to say that it was like that before we brought it in and when we tried to have him look at it he didn't seem to know anything about cars and told us he had no idea what he was looking at. Since we knew that an electrical issue couldn't possibly cause these things we demanded that he call the mechanic back in to fix whatever he had done. He couldn't even stand behind his employees or their work and instead just refunded our money. ($250 to change out a wire and destroy our van, if you were wondering.) So we drove 25mph all the way to Aspen Total Automotive and the mechanics there told us that it looked like someone INTENTIONALLY switched the plug wires on the distributor and loosened a clamp on the radiator. These are those people you've always heard stories about. Also, if you had your Escalade in here recently, you should know that we saw the mechanic take your car for a joyride around the block before he called you.

This outfit sucked. I was quoted $200 for a transmition fluid change. When I picked up my truck he charged me $300 saying he did not know that my transmition was for a ¾ ton model. (He had every opportunity to check when I dropped it off...) He said the flush would take one afternoon. It took two days. They are lying crooks unwilling to honor their word and do what they say. STAY AWAY.
