John is very transparent, and communicative. My husband and I blew a tire coming back from the mountains around 7pm. We got a tow to take us to the nearest mechanic, and luckily that was John's automotive. We were pleasantly surprised how welcoming they were, and how quickly they got to diagnosing our situation considering how we showed up. We have a 99 dodge ram van so parts are hard to find, but John went straight to work calling and got the part in in 3 weeks. After they got the part (steering knuckle and wheel bearing) it was fixed in two days. Even with John and his team dealing with getting sick and being extremely busy. Safe to say we were impressed. Its nice to actually trust a mechanic and not feel like we are being taken advantage of. John gave me frequent calls updating me while we waited for the part to come in. It was really liberating not having to call him myself just to figure out anything. I would highly recommend John and his team! Trust is HUGE and they proved they are worthy of that! Thank you guys again!!

Great auto shop! I unexpectedly became stranded off of I-70 near Golden, CO, on a very late Sunday evening. Thanks to the excellent Google reviews, I had AAA tow my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee to John’s Automotive/Forever Auto. The next morning, the guys at the shop squeezed me in without an appointment to replace my idler pulley and get me back on the road home, which is several hours west through the Rocky Mountains. They even test drove my Jeep up the mountain to stress test the repair before calling it good. You’d be surprised how many auto shops won’t take the time to test drive their repairs before handing it over!
The price was fair, the work was great, and the guys are knowledgeable and friendly. Special shout out to Jayson and Joshua! Thanks, again!

If I could give -100 stars I would, this place blows. Shoddy repair work & uses the cheapest replacement parts they can find to cut their costs for the most profit. Do NOT take your car here! And PS John - Yes I was a real customer of yours, in 2021, & TheGonzoHunter was not amused or satisfied! You ruined my lug nuts & you didn't even mention it or replace them. Then within 2 months I had to take my car to someone else to have the same repair done & it was that shop that showed me the parts you used vs the ones they did. When I told my friend (MJ) who had referred me to you, he then told me that the last time he came to you for work you did the same thing to him & he was sorry he ever referred me to you. So.....I think your ego is getting defensive here because you know what you are doing to your customers & of course don't like being called out. I stand by my original review & also don't have any obligation to reveal my identity; what would be the point in engaging in useless banter with someone I never plan on letting touch my car again? I think there's probably also a very good reason you recently changed the name of your shop too, no?

I've been going to John's Automotive now called Forever Auto (same owner) for 23 years. He's honest and will tell you if it's worth repairing your vehicle or not (sometimes older cars aren't worth putting more money into). I've never felt weird about the final bill. Everything is above board and clear. I know a lot of people from my church that are lifetime customers like me. They go to him because he's a stand-up guy and all the people that work for him are honest too.
