If I ever use them ever again, I'll get all my reading from Firestone 1st. They screwed up on so many ready trying to make me pay for things I never needed. I'm so glad I had Firestone look at everything, and now I stay away from this place after spending thousands and thousands of dollars of work with leaks on a brand new engine. REALLY. One screw tightened for a leak, and FBM told me it was totally something different that I almost paid hundreds for. Paid for a fuel pump, they told me it was bad, and I took it to Firestone and had it checked after spending money on a fuel pump and Firestone finally gave me the right readings

This place has been awesome, truly. We've had some solid troubles with our truck and after dumping a few grand elsewhere that fixed NOTHING ...they fixed one of the biggest problems in no time for a few hundred and turns out the other problem is under warranty so we're just waiting on the part to come in. They also swapped out the vans alternator in no time flat. These guys have been super helpful and guarantee the work. We will not be going anywhere else from now on.

This place is awesome! I have a 2016 Jeep wrangler that has been having a lot of issues.. I called different mechanics shops and even took it in to get a cooling system test and they were all going for the most expensive cause (blown head gasket, new oil filter housing) and when I took my Jeep here they told me it was my thermostat which I already changed 2x but they had newly redesigned one (that no other mechanic told me about) and explained why it was different, sold me the part to change it myself. Fixed the problem! Another time I took it in was for my engine light and they actually squeezed me in that day and it turned out that the intake air sensor was just not turned on. They didn t try to charge me a thing and just told me the problem and sent me on my way. They have saved me so much time and money! Also whenever I have questions about my Jeep they are always there to answer and give advice and are SO nice and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend them. Also their prices are great!

They are great mechanics! I have an 01 Excursion with a 7.3 that has had some issues here and there due to sitting while on deployment. Fatboyz came recommended and I trusted them with my baby. They did not disappoint! Fixed my issues quickly and did not just throw parts at my vehicle like mechanics in the past. Kellie who works the front office is great, and communicated often and accurately. The only mechanic shop in town I trust. 10 out of 10 recommend. Thanks for everything!

We were on vacation in Buena Vista Colorado when we first met Josh of Fat Boyz Motorsports. We had just come off a trail way up in the mountains (didn t even have cell service) last summer and there was a deafening BANG that came from under our Jeep. We ended up calling AAA and having our Jeep towed back to town figuring we would call a garage in the morning and get whatever broke fixed. Well it was summertime in Colorado there wasn t a shop we called that wasn t booked two weeks out (long after our vacation would have been over). We were up the proverbial creek without a paddle! Our tow truck driver had recommended Fat Boyz Motorsports to us as a possibility. The only problem was they were 90 miles away in Colorado Springs. Since we couldn t get in anywhere else we figured we call and try to get in. Kellie at Fat Boyz answered the phone and became determined right away to try and help us. She could get us an appointment that same day if we could get AAA to tow our Jeep the 90 miles to Colorado Springs. Josh the owner worked on our Jeep and was able to find a used part (our front differential locker) from someone he knew because a new locker was unavailable, (he even drove 50 miles to pick it up) and then worked until 10:00pm that night to get our Jeep fixed for the next day. He also then just happened to be coming to Buena Vista the next day to hit the trails himself and offered to put our Jeep on his trailer and deliver it to us at where we were staying. He even took us off-roading with him that next day. We were thinking who is this guy , what business would do something like this ? Fat Boyz Motorsports totally saved our vacation!Now it was Fall and I had decided to upgrade parts on my Jeep to avoid problems like we had in the summer and after I did the math I figured I could have my Jeep transported back to Colorado, have Fat Boyz Motorsports do the work and spend the same money as I would if I had the work done in Minneapolis at the higher per hour rate and a time estimate time that was twice what Fat Boyz could do it in. Fat Boyz Motorsports even let me store and then sell the parts on my Jeep being replaced on Craigslist in Colorado Springs. He also answered questions from interested buyers as well as showed the parts to any interested parties the parts, even helped the guy who bought the axles from me load them into his truck.My Jeep came back and no sooner than it had been driven off the transport a part in the new Atlas transfer case failed. When I called Josh at Fat Boyz Motorsports he wasn t phased in the least by the geographic nightmare that was going to unfold. He drove 900 miles with his trailer to Minneapolis and picked up my Jeep and brought it back to his shop in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The problem got fixed, and he returned my Jeep by transport to me at his own expense.Josh s creed is treat people the way you would want to be treated . Josh is by far the most responsive car I guy I have ever worked with, he never ever tries to distance himself from a problem or question.Plus, Josh knows Jeeps, he was able to find several other problems with my Jeep while it was in his shop that my own shop in Minneapolis missed. Josh works on the things tirelessly until he can fix the problem.If you live in or near Colorado Springs and you need your auto or Jeep worked on you owe it to yourself to go see the folks at Fat Boyz Motorsport s!

These guys are Awesome I was traveling through and had an injector go bad in my Duramax. They got me in the shop that day diagnosed it and fixed it, they stayed two hours late to finish it for me to get me back on the road at a very fair price. If there were more people that ran they re business like these guys the world would be a better place!

These guys know Jeeps. I have had them work on carb for an 87 Wrangler and fix what several others could not. And a friend s 2018 Wrangler that the dealer fixed 3 months prior - thermostat issue that he knew all about.

My God, I love this place. They replaced a blown engine on my Silverado after giving me several options and great prices. Kellie, the office manager, is as knowledgeable as anyone I ve ever met when it comes to diesel trucks, and our mechanic, Devin, is top notch. My truck runs great, they check in on me periodically, and that kind of service is what will keep me coming back. Thank you all for the excellent work!

These guys have been so helpful with my son's Jeep! They go out of their way to diagnose the problem and are very reasonably priced. Cannot express how helpful they've been for my broke son.

These guys are great! We ve used other companies before we found Fat Boyz. No comparison. We ve used Fat Boyz multiple times as we have a Jeep Wrangler, Jeep XJ and Dodge Ram that they have worked on. They have great prices and they re very punctual with returning calls and also with the work done. There quality of work is second to none. We will be bringing our Jeeps in soon for a swing away tire carrier install and in fact, our work truck is there now! I highly recommend Fat Boyz.

Been taking all my vehicles, 2011 4R, 2001 Tundra, 2004 Pilot to Fat Boyz for several years. They can totally be trusted to do the exact work needed and not try to up charge you which happens and some dealerships and other shops. They will be my go-to shop forever. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too. I highly recommend.

After driving across the country from South Carolina I noticed a wobble in the steering of my Jeep JK. Fat Boyz was able to get my Jeep in first things in the morning. They diagnosed the problem quickly, parts were ordered and I was back on the road the next day. They were great with communicating times and information. I have since put about a thousand miles on it with no further problems. I would recommend these guys if you are in the Colorado Springs area and need work.

Very impressed by the quality and quickness Fatz Boyz got my Jeep in and out for service. Brought them quotes from other shops to have our Jeep regeared. They beat the best quote by several hundred dollars while installing better products. While in the shop they identified other worn parts and replaced them without charging labor on those items. Definitely will be going back for future upgrade .

Years ago........but pertinent! Brought my Raptor in to have the front shocks lowered to the bottom perch. I showed them a video on YouTube where guys were compressing the springs and adjusting perches in less then an hour. I was told it wouldn't be a problem so I brought in a set of rotors and brake pads as to give them more labor hours as kinda a nice offer for their time as I could've done that myself. Ofcourse half way through a day I'm told they can't do it the easy way and have to remove the struts and use a machine and blah blah. Raised up the charge.......I even bought a sweater from the shop thinking I wouldn't have to go through that bait and switch stuff. Lol. Now, I wear that sweater every time I PERSONALLY compress my shock springs and adjust my perch! Twice a year I do this! I can do it in less then 45min. I was hoping that these guys would get it done being that their a 4x4 shop right? Nope, they have a jeep buggy and that's it. If you know them they most likely take care of you right, if your new to them it's all money!

My husband and I were in town for a couple days. Our truck had a noise coming from the rear end. We had called a few places in town and everyone was booked. Kellie squeezed us in, got our truck fixed and back on the road. Thank you!!!

I've used Fat Boyz Motorsports five times for service on 86 CJ7 Jeep. Friendly and flexible staff. Great on communicating about appointments, parts, and services. As with any older jeep, drips are common, Fat Boyz is good at determine the difference between a seep and a leak. I'd recommend as I plan to use again in the future.

I applied foor work here. Though I have not been hired, I was quite impressed with the layout of the shop and professionalism of the staff. If their services match what I have seen so far, this is an excellent place to get your vehicle worked on.

Mike Leewaye has been my #1 Audi and mechanic go-to guy for years now. He maintains integrity at ALL times and is always up-front on what needs to be done. I have absolutely ZERO hesitation referring Mike and since he works for a friendly outfit like FatBoyz, they re my mechanic only because Mike is there. I ll follow Mike wherever he is at because my loyalty and trust follow his character. At the end of the day, he s the only mechanic I have ever trusted!

In 2015 I spent $913.01 on 3/25 invoice #4164, $1330.45 on 4/21 invoice # 4229 and 6/8 $844.04 invoice #4350 for a total of $3,087.50 to have my a/c repaired. The shop does "shot gunning" repair. Parts are continuously replaced until the service issue is repaired, but unfortunately for my bank account my a/c still did not work properly. I then spent $150.00 at Napa and after Napa's repair my a/c has never worked better. The owner's satisfaction is more important to fatboyz motorsports then the customers satisfaction.

Great local shop. They know their stuff on diesels and Jeeps. And they run what they work on; some pretty serious 4x4 rigs.
