Fantastaic service! Tucker is amazing and even had the dedication to bring his kids to the shop with him so he could help us with his vehicle. Highly recommended!


Nov 30, 2024

Got me in and out. Very helpful and friendly will be coming back for any other issues


Nov 22, 2024

Tucker was absolutely the best in assisting me with my Honda CRV and the issues it was having. He got me in next day despite the crazy snow and was quick to provide details on what was happening with my car. The communication the entire time was fantastic. Highly recommend!!


Nov 06, 2024

Thank you for your services I truly appreciate it.. Everything was done in a timely manner.. Thank you Tucker..


Oct 06, 2024

A+++


Sep 06, 2024

Cottrell didn’t charge me for the diagnostics that they performed on my vehicle; nor did they charge me for the diagnostics that the specialist came in to do because they didn’t feel right charging me when they couldn’t find the problem. They also talked to me rather than talking down to me. Will use their services again. Thanks!


Aug 06, 2024

Tucker is awesome. He worked with us and made sure we knew every step of the way of what was going on with our car… I really appreciate the fact that he made sure our car was safe the entire time it was there. I will so be recommending him to others that need a really good mechanic. He isn’t just good he is awesome. Definitely go to him for your mechanic needs


Aug 06, 2024

Tucker was amazing. My tire mechanic rolled my window down all the way and it would not go back up. He took me in right away and we got it fixed. I will return! Thank you!


Jul 06, 2024

Tucker went above and beyond to help us with every step of the process. I'll never go back to dealership. I highly recommend Cottrell Family Automotive.


Jun 06, 2024

They are very thorough and knowledgeable!! My car had 2 leaks (othe mechanics could not find) they were able to find and fix both!! Plus a steering issue now fixed!! I would highly recommend the Cottrell family shop!!


Jun 06, 2024

Tucker is a pretty good mechanic and I would recommend him to anyone else who has vehicle issues, thank you Cottrell family automotive.


May 06, 2024

Fast and affordable. Thanks for getting me in on short notice. He sounds so much better after you secured the undercarriage.


May 06, 2024

Had a great experience with Tucker. I will be taking my car back to him. He's honest and helpful for a great price. Can't get any better.


May 06, 2024

I have had them work on 3 of my trucks so far he has done a great job. Even though one was very challenging for him. He went above and beyond


May 06, 2024

I loved my experience here with Tucker! The waiting space is so welcoming and clean. Tucker was transparent the whole time too. As a young female who obviously didn’t know much about my car, he told me exactly what to do for my next steps and has been super friendly yet professional throughout the process.


May 06, 2024

Needed to get my Chevy Trailblazer worked on. I had coolant leaking in my engine bay. The Cotrell Family Auto tram was able to diagnose the situation fast and effectively. I got my vehicle back within 2 days. Amazing service and I highly recommend. Very great experience 10/5 stars!!


May 06, 2024

Outstanding service!!! Cottrell Family Automotive provides exceptional quality, good prices, and a customer-first approach. Highly recommend for all your auto repair needs!!!!


May 06, 2024

Tucker was great! My brakes no longer grind or squeak. Definitely will be returning for any other work that needs to be done.


May 06, 2024

Wanted to schedule an oil change, tire rotation, and brake fluid flush (recommended by another mechanic). Tucker provided a detailed estimate prior to booking my appointment. After he did a full systems check, he called me and told me that my brake fluid tested fine and that I really didn't need a flush unless I wanted it done. Honest, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend their service!


Apr 06, 2024

I never give reviews but I feel it's warranted to do so. I have a Honda pilot and have only had the maintenance done at the dealership. But they are pricey so I called five different shops and Cottrell had the best rating and reviews. This is the first shop to touch my vehicle besides the dealership. They are friendly, professional and not going to do you wrong. I had an amazing experience and Tucker did a great job. Most adorable As well.


Apr 06, 2024

I see now why Cottrell gets such great reviews. I needed a prepurchase inspection done but, as I am out of state, Tucker was willing to coordinate getting it to his shop - not just an on-site check. The prompt communication & genuine care in my case is a level of service I rarely see these days. The car ended up getting sold out from under me, but I also wanted to add that he had made room to do this within a day of reaching out, which is also greatly appreciated. I only wish I lived closer so that whatever I end up buying would surely be in good hands when it's time for servicing. Thank you Tucker.


Apr 06, 2024

Tucker has been great to work with. His turnaround time for quotes is great. He got me in and out in the exact time he planned for. For one of my vehicles I was considering selling. He did a great fair balance, job of walking me through the pros and cons and values of different decisions I was thinking of making.


Apr 06, 2024

Tucker is skilled, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, and it feels great to have a place to take my car with a team I know will have my back.


Apr 06, 2024

Tucker is the best. Went in for oil change and inspection. He answered all my questions and showed me what he was looking at. Cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you


Apr 06, 2024

Tucker is the man! He was able to get me in on short notice for an oil change. The process was seamless and he did a great job! Highly recommend!


Apr 06, 2024

What can I say except that Cottrell Family Automotive is the best, most honest body shop I have been to and will ever go to. I found them by accident when at my wits end over my current issue with another body shop who was ripping me off and ultimately ended my work order when I demanded answers and documentation on my cars work and parts ordered. Tucker answered my questions, agreed to work on my car upon the other body shop having my car towed to him, and kept in constant communication with me. He didn't need to really do anything to help my car, only charged me half of the diagnostic estimate and even walked me out to my car as I picked it up and made sure I tried it in front of him. He didn't try to do unnecessary and unauthorized repairs without my consent and try to scare me with possible scenarios just to get a big ticket transaction. I have found my only future body shop! I recommend him and the rest of the team at Cottrells. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s


Mar 06, 2024

Family run business and couldn’t recommend them more. Best priced we have seen in Colorado Springs and very knowledgeable. 10/10 experience.


Mar 06, 2024

Fantastic!


Mar 06, 2024

I had an issue with my brakes. I was able to get a quick appointment. Tucker and Mike are great, and my issue was resolved quickly. I was confident with the repair, and all is well. Highly recommended.


Feb 06, 2024

Took my truck in last minute before a long trip. I was amazed at how clean and organized his shop was. Very fast, detailed, and thorough. He did a full inspection on my truck with an oil change. Put it on a lift - found some issues I didn’t even now about. Definitely a repeat customer, thanks Tucker.


Feb 06, 2024

Tucker is a great mechanic. He worked on my 4runner and fixed a leak. His shop and waiting room are awesome, easy place to sit and work while you wait. I also appreciated the software he uses to quote repairs on your car, it is a streamlined and transparent process.


Feb 06, 2024

Tucker is awesome. Did some repairs on my vehicle and finished in one day! Highly recommend


Jan 06, 2024

Excellent service. Very communicative, expedient, and provided a quality service. Will 100% be coming back. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for your help fixing my car!


Jan 06, 2024

My truck has been neglected for a few years. Tucker got me in for a complete inspection and I couldn't have asked for better service. Honest diagnosis on what needs done now, what can wait, and all with EXCELLENT customer service and response time. Highly recommend!!!


Jan 06, 2024

They did a great job, got my Jeep back the day i dropped it off.


Jan 06, 2024

Tucker was extremely good at communication and did a great job finding out the issue and fixing it as soon as possible.


Jan 06, 2024

Wonderful local automotive business! Clean & organized shop. Tucker and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and provided an above and beyond service for my vehicle. Tucker also inspected my car to identify any pressing preventative maintenance needs. He also helped me create a plan & timeline to address upcoming repairs. Definitely recommend this shop!


Dec 06, 2023

I was very satisfied with the service. My vehicle was repaired same day. Tucker was helpful and knowledgeable.
