Well I cant really say I know how they are. I called to make an appointment to fix my van but I dont have the money. They wanted 3 grand to do the transmission !!! I thought that was high and that was for a used one. I may have to sell my van for parts at this point. But the guy on the phone was nice

Great shop. One of the big chain autoshops told me that my struts were blown and I had a $3000 repair bill. Took the truck to Merkls for a second opinion and they told me that my entire suspension system is in fine shape. Great people and honest assessments.

I was driving east on 44th this morning (with a van full of kids) one of you employees, in a company truck, pulls out of your parking lot and went across 3 lanes of traffic got in front of me and brake checked me. Then proceeded to travel below the speed limit.I have video proof and have given it to the police.Thank you and have a good day.

Gr8 shop!! Rick and Bob are really honest guys. My car needed a new alternator and I have an aftermarket warranty. They took care of all the details and had my car fixed and ready to go in one day

Merkels was highly recommended by my other mechanic. He was unable to help me with my problems. Our heater was not working consistently. We thought it was the Actulator blender door. So we were expecting to spend a lot on the labor and repairs. I live across town from Merkles so I dropped off my vehicle and took a Lift to work. They called me to let me know the car was repaired a few hours later. Not only did I pay $150. 00 less than they quoted, we were not charged for the diagnostic test to determine the real issue. We are very satisfied with how fairly we were treated that we will continue to go back for all our maintenance and repair needs in the future. I highly recommend this company!

Very friendly and honest mechanics

I came to Merkls in 1998. Their work is consistently good and they are very thorough and let me know what repairs I can anticipate. I have never been left at the side of the road. Only thing is their prices have gone up since they changed owners but that was almost a decade ago. Its nice to have personal, friendly, reliable neighborhood service.

Honest and reliable

Stopped by for an alignment and was surprised by the lack of interest in providing the service. The gentleman behind the counter did not offer a greeting, informed us that he has a car on the alignment rack for a couple days, and failed to offer the service or schedule a later date. We thanked him and said goodbye to no response. Business must be good due to the lack of customer service. We were quickly accommodated by the Big O just down the street.

Absolutely the BEST mechanic Ive ever had the chance to meet. I trust them completely with my car and they are very honest guys. I wouldnt dream of taking my car anywhere else.

My 300 M is back in service with the help of Merkls sniffer to finda gas leak. Thanks Guys! service the

Best place to go

Absolutely the BEST!!! Have gone there now for 10 years. And all my cars still run beautifully thanks to them!

Wonderful service, friendly staff, knowledgeable and helpful.

Have been going there for decades...great work and honest....

This place is great, very informative, very fair, and reasonably priced. They took care of my car and did their diagnostic and told me everything that was wrong and weve been chipping away at it ever since!

The owner is awesome. Really nice guy who is super friendly. Their texts are very young

Friendly, helpful, decent. If maybe a bit high on some of their rates.

Amazing work..honest and professional.

Bought a jeep Cherokee, and was having issue after issue with not being able to get it to pass emissions... had a bad mechanic work on it prior to taking into Merkels(my fault) at first I thought I could trust these guys... for some reason they had a semi ok review on Google. I tell Mark that I cant pass emissions, and that I had my exhaust manifold replaced by another mechanic, and Im pretty sure it didnt go well. I was quoted for a 106 dollars diagnostic... I received a phone call at work, and mark told me that it was the exhaust manifold, and if they had to replace the manifold it would COST 1300 dollars. Then I asked him if he was sure it was the manifold, he said that he could hear that it was leaking(sweet 106 dollar diagnoses) then when I asked if he saw a crack or exactly what was leaking... he told me that it would be 300 dollars for him to take everything apart to check and see what the problem was... So 100 dollars turns into 300 dollars...then turns to 400 dollars(just to see what the problem is) wow!!!!!! I then asked if I could just take everything off: cold air intake, air intake box, take off the spacer, then mark the spark plugs for the right sequence, then take off a couple of brackets, then take off the air intake manifold.(300 dollars) Mark said, No, not down here) I said that I just live down the road, and that I would could get it down there... same answer, No. At this point I told him not to do ANY work on my jeep. He said, let me get things ready and Ill call you back.(I was assuming he was talking about the 106 dollar diagnoses... I get a call back, and Mark said, hey there is a guy down here that says he is familiar with your engine, and would be ok with you taking it apart and bringing it back down. I decided it would be best to not go back to Merkels auto to have my jeep worked on... this is frustrating, I cant pass emissions, I cant get my jeep tagged, and I apparently I am prey in a world of ass hole mechanics. I can do it myself... just thought you guys wouldnt mind making some money, and Im not talkin rape ya ass heads

A great shop with honest people and fair pricing!

Fantastic service. Best mechanics around.

Great service. Very knowledgeable mechanics on duty

Worst place to go for repairs. Rip off. They dont fix the problems, they go around the problems which in time makes problems even worse. Money eaters. Untrustworthy. Inconsiderate.

Took my 2005 Nissan Maxima in to have diagnostics done to figure out the electrical problem I was havng. I was already aware of problems with my tranny and needed to get the electricial aspect fixed prior to dealing with my transmission. I explained all this to Bob Friday when I brought my car in I was told it would be 200$ to diagnose the electrical problem because it required 2 hours and was tedious work. I was ok with that since Id called several other shops quoting the same. Monday I got a call from Bob telling me I needed a new transmission a fact I already knew. They did not look in to the electrical problem I was trying to have diagnosed and were just hell bent on trying to sell me on the tranny. So in the end i wasted 100$ to be told problems with my car I was already aware of. They didnt even look in to the problem I took the car in for and to top it off had a smug condescending attitude. DONT TAKE CAR HERE

I was pretty sure that my mass air flow sensor was faulty because I had gone through that with another vehicle and symptoms were identical. Took my xterra to Merkls because I didnt have the time to deal with it and I needed the vehicle repaired quickly. I told them what I thought the problem was. They called me and said they were pretty sure that the problem was the distributor. On my supercharged xterra- that was a very pricey tune up. I asked them how sure they were, and after a little back and forth, I said well- youre the mechanic. They called me back after the tune up and said it didnt fix the problem, and so THEN they tested the mass air flow sensor and found it needed to be replaced. A very expensive part also. New MAF sensor and problem solved. Unbelievable. I told them what the problem was and they ignored me completely. They cut me a small break on the labor, but never apologized. Cost me a ton of $$. I am still pretty angry about it, and Im generally a positive guy. I dont like being treated in that condescending manner, especially when they should have been apologizing. I guess they didnt want to admit fault for legal reasons?

I have taken all three of my cars here and always satisfied with the work and customer service. I wont take my cars anywhere else!

Awesome mechanics at a decent price!

They cant fix it at Merkls and so you must not have gave him the right information they are great...

Wont take my cars anywhere else.

Fast, reliable, honest. Everything I look for in a mechanic.

Overpriced and rude service

Awesome customer service

Worse place in wheat ridge Colorado

Great service

I will always take my car to them!

Great people
