Services
At our auto repair shop in Denver, we focus on listening to your concerns and ask questions like, "what did you see, hear and smell?" in order to help diagnose your vehicle's issues. We'll ask if you've noticed any changes in acceleration, engine performance, gas mileage, fluid levels, handling or braking - questions geared to get to the heart of your vehicle's issue quickly.
As your Denver auto repair shop, we offer a full range of maintenance and repair service for your car, truck, SUV or hybrid. Our ASE Certified master technicians are experts in correctly diagnosing and repairing any and all issues you have with your vehicle. At Downing Street Garage we use top of the line advanced diagnostic tools, databases and experience to make sure your vehicle is running flawlessly.
When your brakes start clamoring for attention with unwelcome noises, vibrations and pulsing, we've got you covered!. Most drivers only think about their car's brakes when something goes wrong. The truth is, that "something" could be the result of wear or failure in any one of several critical components in the system.
Your vehicle will last longer and cost you less when you regularly flush the radiator and refresh it with new coolant. In cold climates like ours in Colorado, your vehicle's cooling system is doing far more than keeping your engine from getting too hot. It also helps keep the engine from freezing during the winter - preventing costly damage.
At Downing Street Garage we have dealership-level diagnostic equipment and provide better-than-dealership service. This method involves a partnership between advanced diagnostic scanners and skilled technicians. It begins with a dashboard warning light or other obvious vehicle malfunction. The diagnostic tools deliver a specialized code to the technician who then narrows the search from there to pinpoint the precise cause of trouble.

Best car shop in Colorado. They should have 6/5 stars for being so amazing. The fact that they only have 3.5 stars on here is ridiculous. They are the best car repair shop in Denver. They always go above and beyond what I ask them to do. The other day I didn't have an appointment and had a ski resort parking sticker stuck on my car window. They took it off for no charge and I did not even ask for help. They are so kind and always help me with whatever I need. I frequently call them with car questions and they are always happy to answer. Best car shop around! I only get my car fixed here and

Update (1/4/22) They are still amazing and I would give them another 5 star review if google would let me. Best car shop in Denver!! Amazing service and amazing people. Extremely quality work done on my car. I’m from Minnesota and so is the owner of the shop. He was trained at the shop in Minnesota my mom goes to. Great shop if your looking to support a neighborhood car shop especially if you are also from Minnesota. I would not get work done on my car anywhere in colorado but here at Downing Street Garage. Please take your car there, you will not be disappointed. For example, I dropped my car

TLDR: My goodness, these guys are INSANELY overpriced. They communicated well and were quite pleasant, to their credit.
My car wouldn't start over the weekend and it seemed like a starter issue. After AAA tried to jump it and couldn't I had them tow to a garage within range which unfortunately was Downing street.
Turns out there was nothing wrong except for needing a new battery, which I found out after spending almost 4 days without a car while they got around to running diagnostics. To their credit they did warn me of the wait ahead of time.
I really should have just bought a battery and brought

This shop is the best and I'll never take a car anywhere else again. Very honest and straightforward with excellent communication. After contacting the dealer to find out why my car was making a scraping noise and being told they couldn't fit me into their schedule for over 3 months, I called Downing St Garage and they were able to see me and replace my brakes in one day. They also informed me that I have an extended warranty on a steering wheel issue which I intend to have them fix in the near future (at Hyundai's expense).

For a neighborhood repair shop, this place has that classic 1950's "know your neighbor" type of feel. Very professional, walked me through all of the points on my inspection, tire rotation, and oil change. Plus, if you live nearby, you can just drop it off and walk back home!

Got my vehicle towed here. They couldn't find the keys for a whole day. Then, they proceed to tell me they finally found the keys. The following day at 230PM they called me and said they would not work on my lock cylinder and had to get another tow to a dealership. Would not waste your time here am now 3 days without a vehicle.

We have always been happy with the work done here. It's my understanding that they only employ master mechanics so a simple tire change may not be economical here, but the usual servicing as well as repairs which require some expertise are reasonably priced. Have always been quick and reliable. They even replaced a windshield wiper they had installed a few months prior that flew off when I turned it on for free.

I was referred to DSG by a technician at the shop my Dad dealt with in Omaha, Nebraska! Professionalism from the office to the service bays. My cars are always ready when promised. Higher quality service justifies only a slightly higher cost. Much better confidence in assessment and service here than any of the chain shops I’ve dealt with...even during COVID!

I had lower power in my Subaru for a year--took it in to two other shops multiple times to figure out what it was but they never figured it out and their suggested repairs never fixed it. Took it to Downing Street and they diagnosed the problem quickly and tested to make sure that their diagnoses was correct. Now its like driving a whole new car. They were professional and 100% clear about their charges and estimates. Great experience! Thank you!

Highly recommend. Seriously kick-butt customer service and knowledgeable dudes. Truck wouldn't start. Had it towed in. Found out...my mat was covering my gas pedal. All that heartache and anxiety for nothing. As luck would have it, I brought my truck here where they didn't laugh at me (God knows they should have) and didn't even charge me for their valuable time. They did a full check up to make sure there was nothing else wrong, and as luck would have it, nothing else was. Seriously, these guys are awesome and I'd recommend them to anyone.

They do great work for a great price. The owner of the shop, Ben I think his name is, even rode around with me so I could try and replicate the noise I was hearing! What other shop would go to that level of service?!?
Another story, I priced out tires at a big name tire shop and they found me some new shoes for cheaper! Remarkable!
I have been going here for YEARS and every time I leave, I feel like RAINBOWS ARE SHOOTING OUT OF MY EYEBALLS!!!
UPDATE - Went in to Downing the other day with a front right tire losing air. The actual owner of the shop, handsome devil, Ben I believe his name was

You're paying for convenience and speed here, but be careful and call around first.
Moving to a new garage wasn't worth the marginal savings for me so I got alternator replaced. Extremely kind, fast service.
Expect very high diagnostic prices and expensive labor, and watch out for questionable recommendations. They recommended I change my transmission fluid...which is always a red flag...especially since we got it done 10K ago! Always tough to find and judge a mechanic...I'd come back if in a pinch again.

My car's alternator and battery died, so my car was towed here. When I came to pick up my car, the lock was broken and there was an odd clicking sound. When I called, I spoke to the manager (Tyson) who immediately became argumentative and denied having anything to do with the issues. He refused to even take a look at the issue, accusing me of being "one of those 'ever-since' people", referring to how 'ever since' I took my car in, more issues have been created. Seems like more than a coincidence that this garage seems to experience a lot of those people.

Great customer service! I brought in my car when it wouldn't start and it ended up having four separate issues; they had it done in two days and set me up with Enterprise to have a rental car in the meantime. AND called me an Uber to get to the Enterprise store.
A few days later I heard a strange noise in the back of my car. Apparently my lug nuts on my tires were loose, they tightened all of them and didn't charge me anything even though they didn't even touch my tired in the repair! Very nice guys, would highly recommend!

5 Stars ALL THE WAY! Brought a newly bought Audi R8 in to have it inspected 48 hours after purchasing it! They caught a major issue with the Clutch and Gear Shifting mechanics! Saved me $10,000 dollars and was able to have the dealership repair it under there 5 day guarentee! Best $126 I have ever spent, I trust these guys, I trust the owner Ben and they handled my High end car like pros! Highly recommend! Been using Downing Street Garage for years and they only get better and better!

. I called them before I had my car towed, told them the make and model, the guy said we are always cheaper and quicker than the dealership bring it over.
I had it towed over. He called me after $200 of diagnostic fees and he said I need a new fuel pump that would cost me $1,760! I called my dealership to verify that price and they said their price was $599. I immediately called back, he said hold on, then said I can do it for $800. So if I didn't call he was going to gauge me nearly $1000. The dealership said 5 days Downing Street took 12.
They are more expensive and take longer than
