Fort Collins Auto Repair

I moved here with my dad from Chicago. I got a good deal on a Saab and after 18 months, the rod and piston just disintegrated. No one had seen this in a Saab before. Saab mechanics from all over the front range were coming by to view the event. Meanwhile, I was really screwed. So Bob sold me, at about 2k below Kelly, the Volvo he'd been driving for the past year. It's been fine. Since the Saab, they have seen several other Saabs with the problem and think it is the gasoline now. Oh well, I love European Motors, the Volvo is great, and I'm a happy customer who recommends them to everyone. Follow Up 4/14/16 I still love these guys. I had a chance to move from FC and decided not to because I did not want to have to try and find a Volvo mechanic I could trust. The work is excellent, fast, and let me know if something is wrong and whether it has to be dealt with immediately or can wait. Someday I will probably sell my 99 Volvo, but will be buying another Volvo from Bob and John!

I formerly used European Motor Cars for several years and used to trust them completely. I now don't plan on ever taking another car there. I took our Volvo XC60 to the shop for a transmission flush, this turned into a leak from the transmission and after 3 more visits they still couldn't fix the leak and I ended up taking our car to Carl Duke Volvo who fixed in just one visit. You might say that reacting this way to one problem is a bit pedantic. but I've also had a particularly hard time getting them to follow up on anything in the last few years. I've had to call 5 times to get the receptionist to do get one thing that she originally offered to do. All said and done, the owner is really great and they have some amazing mechanics but I just can't trust them anymore and will not go back, despite it being much more convenient than the alternatives. Note: I have revised my original review, you can see it below for posterity. ----- Euro Motor Cars has always treated me and my wife with excellent service and respect. I've had several large services and inspections done here and I'm super picky about the people who work on my car. Every interaction with the owners and their staff is friendly and courteous and I've recommended several of my friends to these guys. Thanks for the great service!

I've bought two cars from them. On my second car, the turbo went out on the second day after purchase and they gave me a new turbo at no charge (good luck finding a used car dealer that will do that) Both cars are, of course, used and no used car is 100% perfect, but I think they were both priced competitively, and they did a decent job on inspecting and fixing problems before purchase. I would buy from them again.

This shop is fair,honest and reliable. You can feel comfortable that when they tell you what it will take to fix your car that it is accurate and reliable work.
