At Doc's Auto Clinic, fixing vehicle's is in our family's blood, and it's where we excel. In fact, our auto repair shop is the culmination of the work of generations of car people. Owner Brian Small's grandfather owned the first Ford dealership in Washington, D.C., exposing Brian to the automotive industry at a young age.
The ASE-certified auto repair technicians at Doc's Auto Clinic have the experience, skill, and up-to-date equipment to properly repair and maintain all foreign and domestic vehicles. We specialize in suspension repairs and alignments, electronic repairs, and computer system diagnostics, to name just a few of our areas of expertise.
Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your vehicle with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance. If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.
Acura offers an appealing mix of performance, technology, and value with its street-performance-oriented RDX compact crossover, the TSX wagon, and the ZDX, a fastback-styled crossover. These models join the popular RL luxury sedan, the midsize TL sedan, and the entry-level TSX sport sedan in Acura's lineup.
Based in Germany, Audi builds prestigious cars and SUVs that combine luxury and sport. In recent years, the A4, A6, and A8 models have been joined by the TT sport coupe and roadster, the A3 hatchback, the Q5 crossover SUV, the A5 coupe, the R8 sports car, and the A7 luxury hatchback sedan. At Doc's Auto Clinic, our technicians have the skill and experience to work on all Audi models.

Really great experience here. I was traveling through on vacation when my car decided it was maintenance time. I called and they were able to get me in the next day for an oil change and transmission flush. They had an easy night drop so I was able to use my car the day before service and not have to get up crazy early to drop it off. Recommend them for certain!

Not knowledgeable on finding parts for vehicles. Parts are almost tripled on estimates. Seemed like they try to find bigger $$ job in minor jobs. Left a horrible taste in my mouth for trying a local business for first time. Curious to them taking advantage of a women bringing car in for work??? Well another mechanic not to go to in steamboat checked off the list.....

BEWARE!!!
Get a 2nd opinion.
My daughter was working in Steamboat for the ski season. Her muffler had rusted out, and the tailpipe was hanging. She took it to Doc's. They gave her an estimate for over $3000!!! She declined the work, and was charged $64 for the estimate! I have NEVER been charged for an estimate in my life! Nor should muffler repair be $3000!
She ended up coming home 2 weeks later. I took it to my local mechanic, who charged me $585 for the fix (including an oil change).
Shady!!!

I made the mistake of bringing my reliable and fully functioning vehicle to Doc's for what should have been preventative maintenance replacements of parts based on the mileage. I was quoted a 1 day turn around and my vehicle was held for 3.5 weeks. Parts and labor for parts broken during the repair that I did not approve totaled over $800. I was told on three occasions that work was complete and after paying my bill three times I drove away only to have the vehicle overheat just a few blocks down the road. I was told by the shop to simply "limp it back in" despite everyone knowing

BEWARE! THIS PLACE IS SHADY! BEWARE!
I would go anywhere else!!!!!!!!!!!
This morning, after waiting a week for an appointment, I brought my 2006 Mazda3 into Doc's for an assessment of a steering wheel shake. The lady behind the desk was friendly and welcoming. Judging by her professionalism, I felt I was in good hands. She said they would take a look, and get back to me via phone.
Later that morning, I answered my phone to learn Doc's estimate to fix the shaking was $1400. I politely told the lady at the front desk I would get a second opinion, and she said that was fine, but I

Being new to town I went to Doc's for an oil change because of the good Yelp reviews. It was the most expensive oil change I've ever had in my life and they told me I needed $700 of work done. I called my trusty mechanic of 10 years back in California; he was shocked and told me, "what you need done shouldn't total more than $260 including parts and labor." While everyone working there was friendly I will not be back.

Took my wife's car in for repair, price was more than fair. Great, fast service, very professional. I was a mechanic for over 40 years, owned my own business in Fort Collins for almost 20 years, it is hard for me to take my car anywhere I can trust, but not being able to do many repairs myself in condo area, and after reading reviews thought I would give them a try. Well done! What I can not fix myself I will be taking back to you guys! Thank you!

The edited-shortened edition.
Purchased a used '13 Jeep GC @ a dealer in Denver last autumn and last friday I brought it to our local dealer to remove the snowtires, check the factory recalls and to have an oil-filter change (first one while in our possession of the vehicle).
They were unable to remove oil pan drain plug and said the bolt head became "rounded" with repeated attempts and that the oil pan would need to be replaced at a subsequent visit & at a cost of $1400 (initially I was told over the phone 1400 and later was told between 1100-1400).
I was told the ONLY alternative

When we move to a town, we always look for a great mechanic that we can drop our car off with and never worry if they are being fair or not.
Doc's is such a place, they will tell us what they found and suggest if we need to fix it now or later. Trust is earned and over several years Doc's has earned out trust.
