Summit Automotive Group in
Silverthorne (CO)

Mr. Jim who runs this shop is amazing. Super friendly, and quality workmanship. Highly recommend.

I had just installed new front brake pads, but driving in from Topeka there was extreme shaking coming down the mountains. An internet search and the customer ratings led me to Summit. Jim put me in first thing on Monday and determined I needed new rotors. I was on my way about 2 hours later with a safe car, smooth braking, and at a fair price. Thanks.

Got a punctured tire on I-70 west coming home from Denver. Had a hell of a night. Sat around waiting for a tow truck for hours that never showed up. Had to call to get another tow truck dispatched. Insurance made me tow the vehicle to a repair shop. The tow truck dropped the vehicle wherever it wanted to. Have no idea what this businesses issue is, but when I called after getting 2 hours of sleep so I could try to have the tire repaired or replaced I got nothing but attitude for trying to bring my business and my vehicle to this shop in an emergency. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Professionals all the way around! Jim and Shawna were so incredibly helpful. Everyone in this shop was courteous, professional, and thorough! They ran multiple tests on my vehicle to ensure it was functioning properly and to save money with unnecessary repairs. This kind of customer service, honesty, integrity, and care makes me wish I lived close enough to do all my maintenance with them. Could not recommend more enthusiastically!

I dont do reviews unless the place or person deserves it both good or bad! Now with Summit Automotive Group it’s not only good it was an awesome experience! The people there like Shawna, Raul, and Jim are such nice and honest people! And their shop is well kept, honestly it doesn’t look like a mechanic shop at all! We went to Colorado for a family vacation, we drove from Texas, going back we experienced a major coolant leak and my engine started overheating! I initially called another local guy and he said “bring it to Jim” i dont have a lift and they need to observe where the leak is, so onto to Jim’s place we went! We are so thankful we were pointed at the right direction! They diagnosed and fixed our car within the day with very reasonable price! If I could wish for one thing, I wish we have a Jim in Texas I could go to! We are beyond thankful! Wish Jim and his staff more blessings and success! Again thank you very much!!!

In Summit county I find Summit Automotive to be a good value. Also, they explain everything, like why a new battery now costs $350-confirmed by another source- on case made after 2018. I also like that they give their employees Saturday and Sunday off. Shows respect for self and others. I find it easy to make an appointment.

F150 Wheel bearing... Prompt scheduling for the area. Scheduling is accurate and efficient. Dropped vehicle at 10am and was diagnosed and repaired the same day. The customer service was fantastic and appreciated. Every person I dealt or spoke with was very professional in both communication and appearance. It was nice to work with a group that obviously takes a great deal of pride in their business.

Nice, professional and fair. Trusted my vehicles to Summit Automotive Group for 5 years now. Like every shop in the county they are busy, but they do quality work and won't mess you around. We've also been there to help me out in a pinch when I've needed it.

I'm so grateful for the service I received. I had a flat tire the night before and was stranded in Silverthorne. They were able to squeeze my car into their schedule, assessed and it just needed to be patched. I was in and out in less than an hour and back on my way to my destination. They were friendly, efficient and I appreciated that I could trust them not to charge me for a new tire when I didn't need one! Highly recommend

Cannot express how grateful I am to this shop and the people who work here. Helped me with a alternator issue and then in the end a key programming issue. We're EXTREMELY honest and fair with price and helping me out. Explained things to me and kept me updated throughout the whole day as they worked on it. Prolly the best mechanic shop I've been too. Thank you so much for helping me out. I appreciate y'all.

My wife's brakes started to shake coming down from the tunnel. We were due.. We called and we got new rotors and brakes within 2 hours. They were accommodating to our dogs and we were on our way to enjoy our mountain vacation. Fantastic service!

I had real hopes for an honest local shop but I guess I was wrong. Either that or they see a female coming and honest goes out the window. I towed my car there after an issue that turned out to be a recall. They were just trying to fix it without letting me know about the recall. 2nd issue: I had some work done and after I picked up the car the windshield wipers tangled and stopped right in the center of the windshield. Instead of listening to me or looking at my service history they just fully denied any involvement and stated I needed new wiper motors. My model car is notorious for that happening if wipers are removed from the base and not lined up properly when you put them back on. Got someone to line them up properly and they work perfectly.

Called up to set an appointment to replace my rear hub bearings in my 2003 toyota 4runner and they said they could get me in on Wednesday. I dropped off the vehicle 30 mins before they opened and went and talked to Jim. I asked if they had a press and were going to do the hub assemblies themselves or take it to a machine shop. He said they were gonna do it all in house no problem and that it'd be done by the end of the day. 6 hours later I get a call saying "they don't do these kinds of hub bearings". When I showed up to get the vehicle they said oh they sent the wrong parts and blamed it on Napa when obviously the parts ordered, which he showed me, were what I needed replaced. Basically they scheduled me for something that they couldn't do and backtracked and blamed the parts store. If you're going to schedule someone to do work on a vehicle you should know that you can do the work. So I drove over 2 hours on bad wheel bearings at 50 mph for no work to be performed. Outstanding!

Outstanding service! My family got caught in the engineered traffic jam at the Eisenhower Tunnel on a busy ski Sunday, and our Toyota Sequoia overheated. We had it towed to Summit Automotive, and by Monday, they knew we were stranded and made us their top priority. The staff was professional, and the owner was fantastic. Great service, fair pricing, and a fast turnaround!

Go here now! Showed up to get air in my tire and the workers quickly noticed a giant tear in my tire🙈. They were able to get me a replacement with installation super quickly. The owner even brought a worker in early to service it so I could get my vehicle back quickly for an upcoming road trip. 10/10 would go back.

Fast and excellent service when we were on vacation and had brake issues on our truck. They showed me the damage on my brakes and explained what happened. After new rotors and pads I was out the door in two hours. Appreciated their quick and honest service.

First experience with this shop. Our battery died suddenly and I did not have the necessary tools to change it myself. Shawna got me in without an appointment and had my car repaired within a few hours. One of the service guys noticed a nail in one of my tires when I drove in. Great service! Next time I need car service when I am in Summit County, I'll be back!

We are from out of town and had a large screw in our tire. We were needing to go back home that day and Summit got us in right away and took care of our tire. They were SO nice and saved our road trip. Thank you!!

I highly recommend Summit Automotive in Silverthron. I live in Denver and was going to Vail when my radiator failed inside the Eisenhower Tunnel. I limped into Summit Automotive, and they immediately accessed the issue. They offered a quote for repair quickly, and it was affordable. The waiting room was comfortable. I was impressed with all the staff. It is obvious that the owner, Jim, takes pride in his team. They repaired the issue, and I could depart within a few hours. But the story continues. Almost a year later, the new radiator failed—a crack in the side panel. I called Summit Automotive, and without question, they supported me again. They refunded me for the radiator and immediately sent me a check. As we know, it's difficult to find an honest mechanic. Well, look no further. I truly value the team at Summit Automotive.

Jim and his staff at Summit Automotive Group in Summit county are simply amazing. We were hauling our boat back to Denver from Green Mountain Reservoir when we blew a tire. We found Summit Automotive Group in Silverthorne and Jim took care of us. Jim asked if our trailer was in the side of the road which I confirmed it was. Jim found the last in-stock trailer tire in our size and had our tire changed and ready to go in less than 30 minutes. We were shocked and totally pleased. THANK YOU SO MUCH JIM!!

When we were coming down the mountain from the Eisenhower Tunnel into Dillon, we knew we had issues with our brakes. This put a damper on our trip into town. The folks at Summit Auto Group took great care of us and did everything they said they would do, got the parts when they said they would come in, took us in and quickly turned us around to get us on our way for our return trip. Summit Auto Group raises the standard that is becoming so hard to find in auto repair service.

I had a flat tire and they were friendly, helpful, fast, and a pleasure to work with. Other tire shops in town were asking me to make a second appointment to put the fixed tire back on my truck, but Summit Automotive Group took care of everything all at once. Thank you for GREAT SERVICE!

I brought a loose wheel (already taken off my car) here to get a simple tire patched and I know it wasn't even done the first time. When my tire was still getting flat a couple weeks later, I brought it in again and they finally fixed it. Extremely annoying that they didn't even take the tire off the first time! I literally paid for absolutely NOTHING the first time and had to take time off work to bring it back in a second time. I know for a fact the tire wasn't even removed from the rim because the second time I brought it back, they actually marked the tire where the valve stem was so that they could put it back on and the wheel would still be balanced. The first time, I didn't have any kind of marking and I was wondering how the wheel was still balanced. Well, now I know that's because they didn't even take the tire off! I would be extremely cautious of getting work done that you can't see and verify because they could easily screw you over! I couldn't see that the patch wasn't done because that's on the inside of the tire. This is my first experience with Summit Automotive Group and I thought I would try it out with a simple tire patch but after they failed that, I will likely not be back. I feel bad for the polite and professional lady working at the counter since she's the one having to deal with the customers on behalf of a lazy mechanic.

On July 3rd at 2pm I got a flat tire in Winter Park. Stopped at the tire shop there, they couldn't get me in for 5 more days. Tried 3 other shops in Grand County, no luck. Got the tire off and drive to Silverthorne. Summit Automotive got me in immediately, 10 minutes until they closed, and fixed the tire before closing time. I was so thankful! As a grand county local, it's hard in holiday weeks to get services like this. They saved my day and allowed me to have a great rest of the week. Highly recommend!

I have been coming to these folks for all my auto needs for over 15 years, and they are simply the best. I recently brought in my '12 Honda Pilot to swap out tires and asked if my studded snows had any life left. Many shops would have seized the opportunity to sell me new tires, but they have true integrity, a growing rarity in businesses these days, and told me they had at least another year. They always charge exactly their cost for parts, and their labor costs are more than reasonable. Honesty and expertise go a long way...

Thanks for the great service. You were very professional and fast. As a walk in they got me in and out in less than an hour. Very friendly staff

Just dropped my vehicle off. Staff seems kind. Facility seems nice enough. Kids area. We will followup after we see how it goes.
