Section 01 · Auto Works · Aurora, Colorado
Two bays on Demo Road, one mechanic. I diagnose it, write the estimate — parts, labor, total — and nothing happens to your car until you say go.
Kingbolt · Repair order
Price agreed first
Section 02 · The estimate
Tell me the symptom over the phone or leave the car in the morning. Either way, nobody quotes you a number before the car has been looked at.
Parts, labor hours at the posted rate, tax, total — every line named, on paper or by text. The whole format is on the estimate page.
You approve the number, then I order parts. Find something mid-job? You get a text with the change before it happens, not a surprise at pickup.
Section 03 · The board
Oil and filter, plus the fluids the quick lubes skip — brake, coolant, transmission where the maker allows it. If the air filter is dirty I show it to you; I don’t just add a line.
Price $65–$120
Typical time: about 45 minutes — waiting is fine
Pads, rotors, and hardware — parts and labor, per axle. If your rotors still measure within spec, I tell you that and you keep the difference.
Price $180–$420 per axle
Typical time: half a day — drop off in the morning
Check-engine lights, electrical faults, the noise that only happens when it rains. One flat fee to find the cause — and if I do the repair, the fee comes off the bill.
Price $95 flat, credited toward the repair
Typical time: usually same day
Section 04 · Afterward
A day after you pick the car up, you get one text with one link to the shop’s Google listing. Every customer gets the same ask — nothing filtered, nothing gated, nothing invented.
Section 05 · The counter
Call, or just come by — the coffee is on and the estimate is free to read before you decide anything.
