Kevin was very helpful when we were in a bind while exploring the Alpine Loop. He returned our call and got us into the shop first thing the next morning. The control arm brackets on our jeep broke and Kevin was able to weld them up for a reasonable price. If you have trouble with your vehicle in Silverton, we highly recommend Bearded Wonder Service.
Great guy! We came into Silverton with a broken brake line and he helped us out immediately. It's great to see an "old school guy" still in business that's willing to help out a total stranger.
Great guy but he does stay busy so be patient. Has a lot of knowledge and resources. Would definitely go to him again and I absolutely recommend him. The best traveling experience I have had with a mechanic.
My truck threw a check engine light when we were off-roading in the basin South of Gladstone. I immediately brought the truck into town and Kevin charged me $25 to read the codes, clear them out and give me his professional opinion. I also asked him about a sound that was coming from my pulleys/engine belt. He was courteous and professional the entire time. Would recommend him for sure.
I asked Kevin to change my fluids and repair my damaged clutch. $916 later, my clutch is still broken and my fluids still dirty, obviously unchanged.
His voicemail says he is a representative of the church of christ, but I'm positive "thall shall not steal" is the eighth commandment.
He will take your money and give you an unsafe vehicle to drive.
Hands down the worse mechanic I’ve ever encountered. Had to spend another $400 to reverse the idiotic repairs he charged $400 for. I’ll walk next time my car breaks down in silverton. And he’s got an attitude as well.
We got into Silverton with our 16’ camper and happen to park ~500’ from Bearded Wonder, only to realize our tire was almost flat. We couldn’t get the machine-tightened lug nuts off. Walked over to Bearded Wonder to get some help, and the owner, clearly busy, stopped what he was doing and walked over to help us remove the bolts. Incredibly helpful, kind, and obviously super knowledgable. If you break down in Silverton, make sure you’re close to Bearded Wonder!!
The rear sway bar bracket tearing on our Jeep due to heavy load our first day in Colorado. Kevin got us right in and called friend Larry to come weld it correctly ( only had bolt put on by whoever did lift kit instead of welding) They truly saved us and our vacation! If you are near Silverton, CO be sure to have Kevin help you out. He is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for customer service!
My son is out wheeling for the week, had a stripped brake caliper bolt. Thanks to Bearded Wonder Services my son was back on the trails and I’m not pulling an all nighter to get up there with parts and tools. Good to know there are still good honest people out there. Thank you.
Honest, friendly, knowledgeable; that’s how I would describe Kevin at Bearded Wonder Service.
We were 900 miles from home in Silverton Colorado with a shot transmission and two feet of snow expected the next morning. Kevin came to us, sorted out the problem, was honest about our options, and got us to where we could cross the pass back to Durango before the road was closed. It was clear he had the tools, training, and diagnostic equipment to tackle anything.
I would recommend Bearded Wonder Service to anyone.
Drove in from Missouri when my Jeep thermostat went out. Kevin got us in immediately, purchased a brand new part, and installed it in less than 45 minutes. While we were waiting he recommended us to try the Brown Bear Cafe for breakfast and he was right. It was delicious! We had an amazing experience with both the Bearded Wonder services and the Cafe. Highly recommended!
We caught a squirrel or some little furry animal in our belts when we started our car in the morning, and lost the A/C belt but found the alternator belt still under the hood. The Bearded Wonder got everything put back and had us back on the road in less than 30 minutes! I wish I had a quality mechanic like this where I live!
Saved our buddy in pinch. Jeep brakes started to feel weak coming down the Alpine loop, limped into Silverton, found Kevin. He immediately identified the problem (out of break fluid) and provided the fix.
These guys dropped everything they were doing to repair our flat and get us on the road quickly. They had a great sense of humor and prevented our road trip from flying of the rails.
Kevin did a great job of fixing my broken track bar mount on my Jeep. Welded and back on the road in 4hrs. Probably shorter if I had been there earlier. Answered his phone after hours . He got me out of a punch in a hurry. Definitely recommend him.
Honestly the best experience I have ever had with a mechanic! I was in a really rough situation with a broken down truck a long way from pavement and considering a really expensive wrecker bill. Kevin was willing to fix my truck on trail! He is friendly, honest, skilled and very fairly priced. Kevin at Bearded Wonder Services has my absolute highest recommendation.
Kevin is a great guy. My girlfriend and I got a flat camping outside town and he came out well after hours and got us fixed up. At a more than fair price, to boot. Great local asset.
Was in Silverton for vacation to ride dirtbikes and needed to change my front sprocket. The local hardware store recommended Bearded Wonder. The owner Kevin helped us get the original front sprocket off after trying a couple air compressors and impact drivers. He also helped fix a couple things on our truck. Nice guy and would recommend them to fix cars or motorcycles. Thanks Bearded Wonder!
