Mike's Garage

Arrived in Salida Tuesday night, from northern Colorado, to find our brakes grinding horribly and not comfortable to drive back home with. Called Mike’s Garage next morning at 8am, Mike answered and got us in immediately. Less than 4 hours later, he had all brakes and rotors replaced and we were back on the road. Great customer service, great price!! Thanks Mike, really appreciate you and your team!!

I arrived in Salida from Fort Collins and realized my coat had gotten stuck in the passenger door of my car — not ideal when it felt like 13 degrees at 3 pm and I needed that coat for the weekend. I stopped by Mike’s Automotive late on a Friday, and possibly The Mike promptly greeted me and came right out to help. He had my coat freed in no time and wouldn’t even let me pay. Kind, helpful, and generous — exactly the type of local business you hope to find when you’re in a pinch. Bonus points for the evidence of a shop dog that hangs around, which is always a good sign in my book. Thank you so much for the help. I truly appreciate it!

The only mechanic in Salida I would take my cars. Been a customer for 10 years and they always get the job done & done right. I had forgotten to mention something when I brought car in for repair, got it home and it needed to go back. Fixed it right away as part of original repair. Very trustworthy & honest!

Additionally I was certainly not comfortable with the cost of Mike's Garage labor compared to other markets around the country where I had repairs made. Overall- good, skilled, professional folks. Just bring a little extra $$$.

This garage and staff are not a place I would recommend to anyone. They are clearly much more interested in money than customer service or satisfaction. I tried to get an alignment done here. It took two weeks to get the appointment. They told me I had to drop my truck off at 0800 and leave it all day. As I arrived I noticed cars were streaming in and couldn't even park in their lot. They're clearly over booking the day to cram as many dollars as they can into their pockets with minimal work. Before I got back home, I got a call telling me something was wrong with my tie rod and they couldn't work on my vehicle. So I picked it back up. Another mechanic looked at it and said there was nothing wrong with the tie rod end. When I picked the truck up and asked what the problem was, the guy at t
