Customer Reviews for Spruce Street Auto & 4x4 Center

“My 35 year old F250 need ed some deferred TLC and Spruce St. Auto provided it. I've known Jeff since around 1970 and am glad that he's still at his long time location right in the heart of town providing knowledgeable auto service in his same talented but low drama way.”

“Great place! When most other shops were all booked up, Spruce St Auto & 4x4 got me in and out really fast and I was very pleased with the service. I'd definitely return in the future.”

“Really impressed with the service. Extremely grateful I found this shop. I just moved in the area from Michigan and had a few problems with my Ford Escape on the drive. These guys were super helpful, fast, and best of all, well-priced. The next issue I have, these guys will be the first I call!”

“5 Stars!”

“The real professionals. They have gone out of their way on several occasions to help me and my car when in a crisis. Recommended!”

“Being on a tight budget, they got my rear alignment on my 2004 Jeep Wrangler done, but couldn’t complete the front due to some bad axle u-joints, and bad ball joints. They checked out the entire jeep for me while they were at it and told me what needed fixed, and had a complete print out ready for me when I picked up my vehicle. Very friendly and professional staff, and most importantly knowledgeable.”

“Ask for Jeff the owner...”

“I’ve gone to Spruce Street Auto and 4x4 several times with a crisis and Jeff, the owner, had gone out of his way to help. They’re the best!”

“Very good”

“I moved to CO from NC recently after living in a small town for 25 years. Part of what scared me about moving was finding new doctors and hair dressers and mechanics. I used the same mechanic for 10 years! It terrified me to find a new one! I work at a small business downtown and one day a nice man came by near the holidays and offered a discount card for oil changes. I thought I might as well give it a shot. I recently came by for an oil change and my experience was awesome! Everyone was super nice, the lounge area was off to the side enough that I didn't feel in the way, and a girl came in while I was there and praised the shop the whole. I think I found my new place!”

“Good service and great people”

“Consienscious, thourough, flexible and practical”

“A blown cooling system on Christmas Eve (24th) after a 1700 mile trip to Boulder was finished by the 26th and ready for pick-up. Prompt and pleasant service - good value - and excellent repair made the return 1700 mile journey without event.”

“My husband and I moved here in January and had no idea who to use. After reading the reviews for Spruce Street I decided to give the place a try. I called on a Thursday and set an appointment for Monday. Even though I had not agreed to anything, and despite the fact that he had not even had a chance to look at my car, he had already kind of known what was going on and had the part ordered just in case so that he could have me in and out in only one day! I was shocked. I had expected to be out of commission for at least three. This place is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a long standing (he's been here over 30 years) extremely capable group. I'm telling you this is the place to go.”

“Jeff and his team are fantastic and fair priced. They just did a ton of work on my 2003 wrangler and it turned out great!”

“Recently moved to town and have been searching for a quality mechanic that will do honest work, and that's exactly what I found. Clearly an experienced crew, they listened to my issue and were able to get me scheduled quickly. I thought the issue would take some frame work to get resolved, but after they examined the problem in more detail, they were able to get it fixed right away. I will be taking my Jeep back to these guys for everything else I need work on.”

“This is one of the very best mechanic shops I have ever been to. The price for an alignment was less than 2 other shops I checked. I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. Jim is one of the happiest and most service oriented people I have ever met, and he straightened one of my running boards in two minutes, literally, when one of the high volume body shops in north 'Boulder told me they couldn't possibly fix it for less than $1,000. The charge from this shop: $0.00. He also fixed a minor mess up, from this same high cost/high volume body shop in one minute. Cost: $0.00. These guys are not in business to make a quick buck. They are in business to provide a service. Imagine that. I'll be back. I don't care if they cost twice what the guy down the street costs. They earned my respect and my loyalty.”

“The crew at SSA was courteous and friendly. They were diligent and proactive in solving my Tacoma problems.They stuck with it , until we figured everything out. Thank's guys!”

“Come in for an alignment for the first time. Very nice staff and work done.”

“Brought in a hitch kit to be installed and they were able to help me out immediately. Very professional and high quality techs. Almost 1/3 of the price from the first place that quoted me.”

“I took my truck in for some brake issues and Jeff was great to work with. I felt like I was taken seriously, I got what I needed quickly, and they didn't try to sell me on any unrelated work--i.e., it was very unlike most of my auto shop experiences and I'll be back next time!”

“ALWAYS have a great experience in Jeff's shop...”

“Best of both worlds. Courtesy and quality this is the best shop this side of the great divide. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING”

“Jeff has kept my Ford Escape going all its life (since 2001). His work is good and the pricing is fair. I wouldn't think of taking my cars anywhere else, and have asked him never to retire.”

“I had Mike do the alignment on my 97' Eagle Talon TSI, the car ended up great handles well and doesn't have any pull to either direction or any significant tire wear. These guys have an awesome state of the art alignment rack that works well on cars that have been lowered and have low-hanging performance exhaust. Thanks guys!”

“The crew at Spruce 4x4 is awesome! Mike took his time patiently showing and explaining to me what was going on with my car. I will definitely be going back whenever the car needs some more TLC.”

“Have been to Spruce before, I had the same issue with my roof rack that they fixed before. They immediately fixed it again for me and did it at no charge!

Thanks !! Great service!!”

“Great customer service! I dropped my car off without an appointment, and it was fixed and running great in just a couple hours at a reasonable price. They mentioned a couple issues with my car that I already knew about but didn't push them on me at all.”

“Friendly guy and big, clean place for a garage. Fixed my 1994 Toyota on short notice within a couple hours for $65. There was CANDY in my car when I got it back, and he gave my dog a giant cookie. A+”

“I've been goign to Spruce Street with my 1987 4x4 Econoline for a few years now. There have been a few less than stellar mechanics come through, but Jeff the owner has always made sure to take good care of my rig and I. After having work done at other shops in Boulder, I've found Spruce Street to provide the most consistent quality work. It is difficult for me to find a shop that can effectively work on my highly modified vehicle. Repeatedly, these guys have sourced parts and resolved problems that other folks in Boulder simply couldn't accomplish.”

“I brought my car in because it failed testing and the shop is in the Air Care Colorado booklet of 100% successful repair shops. They successfully fixed that. I had other things worked on at the time, which were fixed at a reasonable cost. Much advice was free as was checking over the vehicle in general. Very nice!”

“Jeff is great. He knows his stuff, is super patient with customers and does honest work, for a fair price. He has always been helpful and even loaned me a jump box a few times. He has been in business in boulder for over 25 years, because he treats people right and does excellent work.”
