I highly recommend Colfax Auto Repair! Vince the owner arranged to have my car towed from my home so he could install a new starter. He had the issue fixed the very next day! It is so good to finally find an honest, courteous mechanic who doesn't rip you off and has reasonable prices. I will continue to go to him for any other necessary repairs. I have already told quite a few people about him. Go to Colfax for any repairs. You will not be disappointed!

Vince has saved me numerous times. I usually don't write online reviews, but when a small business owner does an exceptional job at an honest price, I'd like to give them the recognition they deserve and hopefully the review helps other normal people find a trustworthy professional. And that is especially tricky to have certainty with car mechanics. Now I don't go get prices from other places, but in the beginning, I had the bigger name shops on Colfax street give me notably higher prices and had longer wait times to get my car fixed. Vince gets you in pronto, no excessive "recommended services" and unbeatable prices. I honestly felt like I should have paid him more for the last belt replacement. Again, with the day and age of artificial and water downed online reviews, I felt this individual deserved the recognition.P.S. I had a customer in my line of work recommended Vince to me, because her husband is a respectable welder and I wanted to know where HE goes to get his car fixed, answer was Vince at Colfax Auto Repair.Services: Electrical repair, Exhaust, Auto water leak repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Brakes, Battery

Vince is a great mechanic. I've been using him for almost 20 years. Not only does he do great work, but he has to be the most honest mechanic I have ever met. I am always amazed at how my repair bills are less than I expected. Also, he has frequently driven me to & from my home while he was working, so I didn't have to sit at his shop! Great guy!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Battery, Oil change

I highly recommend Colfax Auto! Called on a Tuesday afternoon and was able to drop my car off that night. Vinnie called and explained exactly what needed to be repaired, didn t try to upsell me anything and took the time to answer all my questions. Had my vehicle repaired in no time and was a very affordable price. I will definitely use Colfax Auto for any future services needed.Service: Steering & suspension repair
