I was referred to Don's by a friend and boy am I glad that happened. They were awesome and very fair. They took the time to show me exactly what was wrong with my transmission and gave me options that fit into my budget. You should definitely at least give these guys a call.

It’s been so hard to find good, honest mechanics, but these guys fall into that category! We’ve been bringing out vehicles here and will continue to! I recommend these guys!

Don's Garage went above and beyond with the transmission in my wife's 1965 Ford Fairlane 2 door Hardtop! This is an old school shop for all of your transmission or engine needs old and new! Highly recommend!!

I am in Kansas City, my daughter goes to school in Denver. Midas told my daughter that she needed close to $1500 in repairs. We had her take it to Don's and what an amazing job. Midas said her shocks and struts were leaking (They were not) she needed new front brakes(she has 50% left on them), new rear brakes (we knew this) and a brake fluid flush ($149.99). Obviously they tried taking advantage of a situation and a young female. Don's verified that her shocks/struts were fine, front brakes were at 50% and replaced the rear brakes and no brake fluid flush was needed. Knowing she was a college kid they were able to get her car in and done quickly for a fair price ($200 less then Midas for the rear brakes). It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, especially when you are 600 miles away. I would recommend Don's to anyone!

I cant believe a quality shop like this still exists in todays world! I have a 63 Cadillac and am very particular on when I'd take it to be worked on. Another shop who does Classic cars referred me to Don's to work on my transmission & driveline. We scheduled the appointment, I dropped the car off, and these guys actually took the time to figure out the REAL problem and made honest suggestions of what action to take to resolve the problem. So many other shops just throw new parts and $$ at a problem hoping it fixes it. I went with their advise and the problem was fixed! They even went a step further and cleaned up a couple other small things while they were under the car.. I've never had another shop take the time to do that without charging me an arm & a leg. The price was more than fair for the work they put into my car. These guys are over an hour away from my house and are worth every bit of time and money to get my car worked on by them! I'll be a customer for life and will be referring anyone I know that needs work done. Thank You to the whole team at Don's!

I've been going to Garrett now for probably 6 months and I've been extremely satisfied. There have been several instances where he could have just had me throw money at my truck, but he doesn't operate that way and has really earned my trust. He is fair, honest, and responsive. I don't know many shops that have almost perfect reviews, but add my five stars to the list! Work performed: Allison transmission and torque converter rebuild among some smaller things. Top notch service.

This place was over-the-top good. I had the transmission rebuilt on my truck. Friendly employees, great work. And done in a timely manner. I will be taking my truck back in the future.

Garret is the best mechanic I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many all over the country. Respectful, thoughtful, and kind. Does the work without the upsell, and meets customer needs letting you know how and why things need to be done—and gives options if you’re on a budget. He also lets you know improvements that may not be absolutely necessary, but that could improve performance, making very clear what should be optional and what is necessity. Additionally, the shop staff seems to treat customers of various stripes with the same respect every time I’ve been there while they’re helping others. An example that impressed me was when a trans-woman came in and the staff were walking her through the reasoning behind the work meticulously, using her proper pronouns, and not being uncomfortable, strange, or overcompensating with masculinity. Although I know that such basic decency and respect should be considered a low bar, that behavior is rare in the context of mechanics (especially small businesses) and should be lauded. Rest assured that these folks truly serve a diverse clientele (LGBTQ+, racial diversity), so you shouldn’t hesitate or dread going to them for your repair and maintenance needs. Lastly, they have a sweet old black lab shop dog named Chunky—she’s worth a visit on her own ;)

Popped a tire on my pick up truck this morning. Don's was the closest place I could safely get to. The staff was super friendly and straightforward. I was in and out within an hour for a great price.

My wife was stranded with a flat tire in the snow and this was the closest garage! They patched her tire and had her on her way within a half hour. Super kind and friendly

Work with someone buy the name of Garrett, he was awesome and honest with me the whole time, this is the place you want to come for professionalism in this industry. After I got my car back it shirted smooth and strong I never thought I would enjoy my car as much as I enjoy it now. I went in for a transmission rebuild and I wanted to install a transmission cooler when Garrett seen there was no where to mount it he didn't just give up he had an alternative for me witch was awesome. Overall I felt like a kid playing with his Christmas presents on Christmas Day! I will definitely be bring my vehicles to dons for future repairs

If you’re looking for a company who will take the time to explain repairs, is transparent and honest, go see Don’s Garage!!! I had, hands down, THE BEST experience with Garrett!! Long story short, I had another company do some transmission repairs for me in another part of Colorado. I was still hearing a noise I didn’t like and was about to set off on a long trip. I was referred to Garrett. He made time out of his busy day to see me right way, he took extra time to answer questions and concerns I had, and he went above and beyond to double check to make sure my car was safe for a long road trip! Garrett eased my concerns. He is the type of person who, above all else wants to do a good job and see to it that his customers are happy!! Go see Dons Garage…you won’t be sorry!!

Overhauled suspension and brakes, installed a lift kit, and found a leak that my previous mechanic couldn’t diagnose. Amazing people, reasonable prices, and excellent work. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and knowledgeable of old cars and willing to work on them
Dec 06, 2020
Amazing service! I had the wheel break off of an old camper I was pulling. These guys were the only place nearby who would even consider trying to help me, and they got it fixed same day! They also recommended a great local tow truck to come grab the camper he was reasonably priced and super fast! I can’t recommend these guys enough!

Took my 63 year old transmission to them for a rebuild. What I got back was better than new! My car has never shifted so well! Smooth as butter! Fantastic family run business. I highly recommend them. Thank you!
