Grand County Automotive

I am a photographer and I have never been treated in this terrible manner before. I spent all day walking around Granby (all public areas) taking photos of the beautiful snowy scenery and didn't have any problems at all until I came to the end of the main street sidewalk and near this place. I stopped for a short break after walking without rest for several hours and took some pictures of the mountains while I caught my breathe. Not long after I felt eyes behind me. I turned my head and sure enough there was someone walking towards me. I assumed, wrongly, that they were going to ask if I needed assistance, as most self respecting shops do, instead I noticed them stop and silently stare at me. I presume they thought they were hidden from my sight. They weren't and it felt predatory to be

I had Dave replace the actuator on the right side vents so the AC vents would open on my 2011 Ford F-150. It was necessary to remove the center console to get to the actuator. When he replaced the center console after installing the actuator he had disconneted the airbag warning light, the radio and the antenna, but had not reconnected them. When I got back to Utah, I had to pay another $597 to have the Ford dealership hook up the items he had disconnected. I sent him all the additional paperwork that had to be done since he had not hooked up the airbag warning light, the radio and the antenna. I felt some compensation was due from him, but I heard nothing even after I sent him all the paperwork from the Ford dealership in St George, Utah. I felt I was due some compensation from him.

Spun out into an icy ditch in Grand Lake. Got professionally winched out by Dad's (separate 5 star google review). Minivan was driveable but really tough to turn after. Took it to Grand County Auto the next morning. Already had it looked at by early afternoon. Only charged me $50 for the inspection. Lead mechanic (Dave, I think) was honest, straightforward, and supremely knowledgeable. Told me I had probably blown my power steering pump, or second possibility new rack I had put in went bad from crashing into the ditch. Told me I'd be good to drive it home to Fort Collins and take it back to the shop that did the new rack a few weeks prior. He knew I was in a tight spot, could've easily charged me more or told me I needed to leave it there for a few days until the new PS pump could arrive,

We are working a summer job in Grand Lake and needed service on our truck early on. Appointments were a few weeks out for Grand County Automotive and we learned why. The owner/operator is a stand up mechanic who does good work and is highly respected and sought after in the area. His prices are fair and he didn’t do any unnecessary work. Now that it’s coming near the end of the season, we wanted to get new tires and bearings on our camper before we leave town. We made our appointment a month ago and had the work done today. The owner was again so fair and honest. He said our bearings look great and don’t need to be replaced. Other mechanics would have just done it and made the extra $. We very much appreciate honest mechanics and highly recommend Grand County Automotive.

I called them to help with a tire that got punctured, it has slow leak and I needed somewhere to get it fixed. Seemed they were too busy but they did refer me on to a great place in Granby. So I do appreciate the referral but would have been better to have had the help.
