Our truck broke down while on vacation in Estes Park. Amina Auto Repair towed our truck to the shop, worked on the diagnostics, and got us fixed up and ready to travel in 2 days. Mohammed was excellent at communicating with us about the process and very helpful in explaining the issues with our truck. We highly recommend this business!

I was in an accident a couple months ago and had my car towed to Amina for repairs. Mohamed and his team were great, and my car looks and drives like nothing ever happened. When I picked it up, it was detailed inside and out. I believe Abdul did most of the work on my vehicle and he was a pleasure to work with and always responded to my calls for updates.The woman at the front desk (forgot her name) is very friendly and always helpful too. I've taken my cars to Amina for regular maintenance for many years and highly recommend them! Thank you to your team for great service, I appreciate it!DanService: Auto body & trim repair

I just got new tires. I stopped by and Mohammed looked at the tires and said I needed new (which I already knew). He told me when to come back. I came back and was prepared to wait a couple of hours, but he said it would probably be longer than that. He gave me a ride to my house. He texted me the invoice when he was finished and delivered the car to me after they closed. I will use Amina again.Service: Tires

Don t bring car here. They get mad and rude when you decline their service. Had sons car towed there after it broke down. ( I live 10 hrs away ). Timing chain broke. Car only worth about 4000$. They quoted me 4500$ to fix. I m a mechanic myself and priced out a used engine with 50k miles for 600$! When I told guy I couldn t see spending 4500 on a 4000$ car, Especially when I can fix myself for 600$. He informed me that car had been there 3 days ( it had been but it took them 3 days to diagnose and call me) he informed me I had 12 hrs to get car off their property. I ALREADY TOLD HIM I WAS 10 hours away. He didn t care, I paid for a tow and my wife called to pay diag bill. The prick was rude to my wife over phone and hung up on her after payment. DONT BRING CAR TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Amina is an awesome local business owned by Mohamed Mouaddine, a Moroccan immigrant who "after 8 years of service with the Royal Guard, working for the king of Morocco, managing and maintaining the royal fleet of vehicles, Mohamed moved to the United States in 2001." He's a super awesome guy and if you need auto repairs, he's 100% got your back. I've gone to them twice and the first time I didn't have anything wrong with my car but had been paranoid about it as it was my first vehicle and I didn't know what to listen for. Mohammed got in the car with me, tested everything, took us for a quick drive and didn't charge me anything. Purely wanted me to have peace of mind. They also sell these really awesome bumper stickers. #supportlocalbusinesss

They damaged vehicle during tow. Repairs done with used parts. Very poor body repair work. Some parts not even replaced but were my own parts sold back to me. Headlight replacement used and glazed over. Not even aligned. It aims off the road. Both tie rod ends used with torn boots. Repair were to be complete in 10 days and took three months. I honestly can't find any portion of repairs done right. Vehicle found to have many repair issues when inspected by other mechanics. Very shabby incomplete work. Paint job he did doesn't even match the car. I could go on and on. Don't trust or use Amino/ Bob's Towing in Estes Park. See Better Business Bureau reports. Most dishonest business owner I've ever meet. He even but new tires on the car I didn't ask for and refused to take them off.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Wheel alignment

I would NOT recommend. I took my car in to get an oil change and they lied to me and said I had an oil pan gasket leak and the valve cover gasket leak and it would be $600 total to replace the oil and fix those 2 leaks. I took it to another shop which said I had no leaks at all and I never saw evidence of leaks and I had gotten the car serviced recently. I strongly believe they lied to me about this to be paid more.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

I m a new business owner in Stanley so figured I d check out Amina since I could drop my car off and just walk to work.I knew I needed a new brake job but wasn t sure if it was front and back or just front brakes.Shawn was awesome! He was willing to meet me at the garage early so that I could drop my car off for work.When he could ve easily done both front and back brakes to make more money, he was honest and just said the front brakes were needed. That honesty and awesome customer service will have me returning as a regular customer at Amina Auto Repair!

I lived in Central Park for 15 years and have been a customer of Amina for most, having also gone to the most reliably rated shops nearby as well. I've sought second opinions to Amina whenever repair costs were moderate or more as well. Mohamed and his team are the highest caliber, fully trustworthy, and fair. Since moving, I have driven across town from my new home farther away, for amina's opinion on my car issues. That's how good they are, in my opinion.

Brought our 2008 Sienna in on a Saturday, July 31 in Estes Park. Heard a clunking noise, asked to check out. Placed seemed busy and had only 1 person on which compounded the problem. Had to call back later to check on status and went down there. Informed a bad tie-rod end, but could not replace since they don't do wheel alignments. Charge of $65. Towed to Denver (via AAA) and to a knowledge mechanic, not tie-rod but loose stabilizer bar link. Don't recommend going here. Repair flat tires might be okay.UPDATE: Owner called to follow up on comment. Very professional, concerned about service we received. Welcomed feedback to take steps to improve quality at Estes shop. Refunded our money. Would go back if the need arose.Service: Steering & suspension repair

I ve been happily using Amina Auto Repair services since moving into the area 6 years ago. Whatever has gone wrong with my car has been diagnosed and fixed at their facility. From minor maintenance to replacing tires, transmission, and a host of other issues. They are consistently friendly, professional and honest. I highly recommend them for all your car service and repair problems.Services: Transmission, Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Body & Trim, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Terribly disappointed in the service received here. I brought my Volkswagen Tiguan to Amina in April with a transmission issue. The vehicle would not shift out of park and the emergency brake light would not go off. I was told I would receive an estimate for repairs via text. A week later I still had not received any information. I went back into the shop and was told there was an electrical problem and they were working on it. Another week went by and no contact. Another visit by me to the shop resulted in being told the car would be fixed the next day. Called the next day and was told the car was repaired but they wanted to inspect it to be sure. Went in the following day and received the car. This visit meant the car was with Amina for 16 days.I drove the car for four days when the problem reoccurred. I returned to Amina and was told that there had been the possibility that this could happen and was reminded that I was allegedly told the car wasn t really fixed the first time. This was not true, however I chalked it up to a possible language barrier resulting in some misunderstanding. I left the car there a second time as I d paid for what I thought was a repair that wasn t properly completed.The car remained with Amina for 2 days before I called for a status. I was told it would be diagnosed on Sunday or Monday. I waited until Tuesday to call back and was told it was being diagnosed as we spoke. Three days later, on Friday, my wife visited the shop and the car was not fixed nor diagnosed. She requested a refund of our original payment and the return of the vehicle. She was placed in telephone contact with the owner who told her I had been told earlier that they hadn t had a chance to diagnose the problem yet, a complete fabrication. The owner asked her to allow him to keep the car over the weekend so he could get it fixed rather than us taking it somewhere else. We agreed, reluctantly.Following the Memorial Day weekend I went to the shop and was told the car still wasn t fixed and they were waiting for a module to be delivered. I was told the owner would call me the following day to update me. I reminded the young man working the counter that in all this time I had never been called by anyone. I told him I would return the next day to get my car and I expected it to be fixed. When I returned today, 13 days after dropping the car off I was given my car and my money back and told Amina could not repair the car.So Amina had my car for a total of 29 days and the car is in exactly the same condition. I ve been without my car all this time, been ignored, misled, and generally treated as if my time and business weren t worth their time or effort. I ve never seen such an unprofessional auto repair business anywhere or at anytime. Amina Auto Repair disrespected me with deceitful and dismissive conduct and I will NEVER bring them my business again.Service: Electrical

Thank you Amina and Mohamed! I am very grateful and will recommend you to all my friends.A local dealership inspected my car and said it needed a new engine ($$$$!). Something didn't seem right, so I searched for another opinion and a neighbor pointed me to Mohamed. After looking at the car he and his team determined it didn't need a new engine, just a few repairs. I'm beyond happy with the service I got (and saving thousands is nice too.)

I don t trust my autos to anyone others than Amina. Mohamed knows your auto like his own and treats it as such. The entire crew it top notch. Proudly haven t frequented a dealership since finding this gem of a local shop. Have had a litany of issues with my vehicles from body repair, electrical issues, general maintenance and continue to rely on Amina as I trust their judgement and reliability to get the repair done fair.

I've had them do a lot of work on my 07 Audi A4 and they did all of it in a timely matter at a reasonable price. I have had few issues with the service and any issues I did have were honest mistakes and resolved asap, even if they were very busy. Dan is super nice and very easy to talk to and George was great at all of the work he did. I will bring all of my business here!

My car broke down leaving DIA and I just happened to google the closest auto repair and ended up getting my car towed here on a Sunday. The folks at Amina were so friendly and made sure to keep me updated on the status of my car at all times. They were also incredibly flexible with my pick up as I do not live in Denver. I am impressed with this shop, their honesty and customer service.

I get my car repaired at Amina. They do fine work. But that's not why I am writing this review. I swung in today to get a little air in my bike tires. The manager Dan filled up both tires to correct pressure. Mohammad, the owner came out to say hello and we all three talked. Chatted about life and other lesser topics. While we were talking Dan fixed my bike basket that was loose. Bike tires filled and basket like new I thanked them for their help and I rolled away. I didn't get far before it struck me how perfect that previous 10 minutes was. Very simple, but it just felt good. Thanks guys!

Truly grateful for Amina Auto Repair, they have worked on my vehicle for 2 separate issues. The first was a ball joint/suspension repair when the ball joint sheared, they got us in and out super quickly (like a week tops, they told us the day it would be done and it was done the day they originally said it would be) and at a cheaper price than the 3 other places we called. The second time was to replace some O2 sensors. I called on a Wednesday and they said they could get it in next day, I picked my vehicle back up the end of Thursday(next day) Amina is efficient, friendly and from my experience, very fair priced and honest. We will continue to go to Amina for any of our car needs! I highly recommend!

We've taken both of our high-mileage cars to Amina for five years. They have always provided prompt, outstanding service and saved us lots of money. We once received a $2,000 quote to address several issues from another shop in town - Mohamed identified a minor fix right away and charged us $0. When we had a big job done, Mohamed followed up with multiple phone calls to make sure "we felt our money was well spent". Amina is the place for reliable, high-quality, trustworthy service for way less than you'll pay elsewhere.

This is a great repair shop. Both Mohamed, former head mechanic to the king of Morocco, now Amina's owner and chief technician, and Dan, his assistant, are very smart and knowledgeable. I've been very happy with their work on my two cars. The person at the front desk, Laura, is always friendly and helpful. On two occasions I've shown up with minor issues (a loose bumper, a flat tire) and they've taken care of me on the spot, free of charge. I live in Stapleton, and it's great having a local place to turn to in a pinch. By the way, they also do great body work. After I dented and scuffed up my car door on a concrete pillar, they made it look good as new, and for a price lower than I was quoted elsewhere.

My husband and I had traveled across the country from Georgia to Colorado to see Rocky Mountain National Park and my 2015 Subaru Forrester suddenly went dead at the top of the highest point. Someone jumped our car off and we carefully made our way back to Estes Park late on Saturday afternoon with EVERY light blinking that our car was in trouble. Somehow we found Aminos and we parked and called Subaru dealer to describe our situation and were advised to turn it off and let it cool for 30 minutes. When we tried to start it again NOTHING! It was dead. About that time Mohammed came out to see if we wanted to come inside out of the heat. We told him our story and he suggested he check out battery. And it registered as dead on his machine. And he showed us the label that said it was 4 years old. (No one at Subaru suggested that). Fortunately he had a new battery that fit and within 15 minutes my Subaru was running perfectly and we were able to drive back to Ft Collins.Mohammed was like a guardian angel in the right place at the right time. It was magical and felt like a miracle! His kindness, knowledge and gentle approach made him my hero forever!I cannot recommend this auto repair shop and Mohammed highly enough. What a blessing for us that he was there!Mary Ann Lasseter, Aug 18, 2021Services: Electrical, Battery

DO NOT USE AMINA AUTO REPAIR!I towed my vehicle to Amina Auto Repair on 11/5. The immobilzer (anti theft system) light was flashing on my dash. This was allowing my electricity to run and the engine to crank, but the engine would not start. After a week and a half of patiently waiting for a diagnosis of my vehicle's issue, I was told that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) was bad and needed replaced. I was told the cost would fix between $300 and $400 (very unprofessional not to provide an exact quote). After another week of patient waiting, I was told the vehicle was running and ready to be picked up AND that the cost for the fix was $500, not between $300 and $400. I voiced my frustration in the lack of professionalism, and the shop lowered the price to $415. I drove the vehicle home. A couple hours later as I planned to pick up my wife from work, the vehicle engine would not start again and the immobilizer light was flashing again on the dash. I called the Amina Auto Repair the next morning requesting that they tow it back to the shop because they did not fix the original issue. They refused, but at my hopes that they would provide better customer service and warranty their work, I paid again for the vehicle to be towed back. This was on 11/21/20. When I arrived to the shop with the towed vehicle, I was told that I would have a diagnosis by 11/26. 11/26 came and went without a diagnosis let alone a phone call; however, I practiced patience knowing it was Thanksgiving week. The next week I called again for an update and I was told by the shop owner to "Back off". This establishment had had my vehicle for 4 weeks at this point, I had paid the shop $415 for a repair to a problem that did not exist, and this owner was telling me to "Back off." I was very frustrated. After many conversations over the next 5 weeks, I eventually decided to tow the vehicle to the dealership, an establishment with actual experts and professionals. The dealership discovered my battery, which was under warranty, was leaking acid and causing low voltage short circuits. I was able to exchange the battery at no cost under warranty, and it solved the problem. All in all, I ended up paying over $1200 in labor, parts, diagnostic fees, and ride shares for my wife for an issue that could have been addressed for just diagnostic fees. My vehicle was at Amina Auto Repair for a total of 66 days without a correct diagnosis or fix.

I wish I could give negative 5 stars. Mohammad is extremely unprofessional. He repeatedly lied to me. He acts nice to your face but does passive aggressive things behind your back, such as hold your car hostage for days on end and create more damage to your car. I decided to have my car towed out of his shop and transferred to another shop that specializes in higher end cars (it's a Mercedes) and he threw a temper tantrum since he was going to lose out on the work and sabotaged the whole process. He would say one thing to me, then another thing to the insurance adjuster, then another to the other shop, and the tow company, spinning everyone in circles for simple things. Amina is responsible for some lost parts and additional damage to my car. They delayed me in getting my car back by probably a week due to their stalling and losing parts which needed to be special ordered from Germany, scratched up the rear leather seats by stuffing my whole bumper and whole grill in the back for transport. Who does that?!Steer clear. These guys are dishonest and unprofessional and will not get your car back to you quickly or even in proper shape. You would expect a car repair shop to repair a car, not further damage it and waste your time and money. I'm still dealing with the repercussions of dealing with these guys and it's weeks later.

AVOID THIS SHOP. If you asked me if I would recommend Amina two weeks ago, I would have done so without hesitation. We were loyal customers who have spent thousands there over the last couple years. That was before I was stranded in the mountains last Tuesday when my transmission on my 4 year old car overheated, and I found out that Amina used the wrong transmission fluid and way overfilled the system when they flushed it. The mistake is clear on their own paperwork it shows that the wrong fluid was used and the amount was too much. Instead of making things right and taking responsibility (everyone makes mistakes), they denied they did anything wrong and my husband and I were spoken to in a demeaning manner and accused of damaging our own transmission. I was confident based upon their reputation in the neighborhood that they would treat us right boy was I wrong.

Amina provided excellent care for my vehicle, and amazing customer service. I was welcomed immediately, by Perry and he was calm and patient as I expressed what was happening with my car. Then, I was informed every step of the way regarding the repairs needed and the work was performed at the highest level. Amina even followed up with a check-in appointment and call. I would highly recommend Amina for all of your automotive needs.

Our car was hit by a flying object on the interstate, and this was the closest place to take it.However, before authorizing any service, we decided to use a shop whose work would be guaranteed by our insurance company.But when it came time to transfer the vehicle to the other shop, Amina refused to release the car twice to two different tow trucks. They refused to work with our insurance reps, the drivers, or the other shop. It caused days worth of delays.I understand that they wanted to be the ones to work on the car to get paid, but sorry, bottom line is that your shop was NOT the one recommended and guaranteed by our insurance company.Once the car was finally released, the tow truck driver found that several pieces, including the bumper, had been removed and thrown into the back seat. Which caused damage to the leather seats.Also, when the car was taken apart (without approval) many pieces were not put back on or in the car. So the receiving shop had to determine which pieces were stolen so they could reorder them.Yes, STOLEN. Pieces of our car were removed, without consent, and not returned or replaced.This has added an extra week to the repairs.This shop has been nothing but a headache and a nightmare. The unprofessionalism is unbelievable. The owner called the tow truck driver a liar and the insurance rep a liar, and we caught HIM in the lies.Unbelievable! Be sure to check out the reviews on Yelp for a more accurate account of their professionalism (or lack thereof).

Could not have asked for a better experience! Came upon this place in a local site for Stapleton and figured I'd give it a try. I've been needing to get a dent in my trunk fixed in my Honda CRV for sometime. Every place I've gone the quotes have been minimum $500 and about a week to fix. I went there for an estimate, walked in, told Mohamed what happened, he looked at me and laughed came out to my car and said, 'hang on'. He went inside got a few tools came back out and starting taking things apart. However, he noticed my dog in the back seat, asked if she wanted a treat and she came out of the car and followed him into the shop. He told me he had to 'take care of her first'. Within 10 minutes my debt was popped back out, looks good as new, the trunk was put back together, my dog was satisfied and he didn't charge me! You can't even tell anything happened! I was, and a few hours later, still amazed that SO many people wanted to charge me crazy prices and he fixed it in minutes. I even asked how much, and he smiled and said nothing! I pulled away thinking I had to tell all of my friends that if we ever have any car issues, this is the place we go!
