Scott's Automotive & Tire of Colorado Springs - Cucharras St

I found this automotive shop on Monday and decided to try them out because they had a free AC inspection and mine has been not too great recently. They very quickly ran a diagnostics on it, explained everything to me as they were doing it (Kane was so helpful with this). I even expressed that I had went to another shop and they wanted to charge me $250 just to run a diagnostic on the AC not even fix it as well as concerns for my front bumper that wasn't as secure as it should be due to a bad accident 3 years ago and the shop that fixed it not doing their job right (which another shop quoted me over 2k to fix and said that may not even fix it). Kane told me whenever they do any repairs or maintenance, they do a full inspection, and he didn't see why they couldn't see if they could put a hook under the bumper to pop it back into place or somehow fasten it. When I brought my car back for the AC, they were extremely efficient with their time and my time and quickly got me in and out, while making sure there were no leaks in the AC pipes so I wouldn't have to come back and securing the front bumper for me. The store Manager Justin was also so incredibly helpful the entire time I was there sitting getting work done on my laptop. I've lived in CO since March of 2024 and struggled to find a shop I can take my car to for regular maintenance without the shop trying to sell me on stuff I don't need because I'm a female walking in by myself. That is far from the type of shop they run here, and as long as I'm in CO, they'll have my business on all my car needs that they service. Thank you again Justin and Kane for being so incredibly helpful and helping me get my AC up and running again!!!!!!!!! If I could give you guys 100 stars instead of 5 I would!!!!!!

This shop is by far the most professional shop I have ever been to. This is exactly the type of honest shop the springs has needed for years! Thank you so much for such a great experience and highly quality full vehicles safety inspection. Thank you Justin, Christian and the team. You all rock, keep it up!

Recently, I had my SLK 280 serviced by Scott’s Automotive. The car spent two days at the shop and was given a thorough inspection. It had a tuneup as well as other items repaired that needed attention. I also got a good deal on four new tires. Everyone there was knowledgeable and kept me in the loop via text and videos for the entire stay. I strongly recommend visiting them sometime and take advantage of their expertise.

Best mechanic experience I’ve ever had! I came in for a coolant leak, Justin walked me through everything they would do to look over my car. I really liked the link to the page that explained everything they found. It was all clear to read. And I can trust that they will work on what’s needed. And not try to upsell me. 10/10 recommend. Absolutely going back.

I had a great experience with Kaine and Justin at Scott's! Comfy waiting area, great refreshments, and they gave me a little potted spider plant as well. The service was quick, respectful, and not pushy at all. It can be hard to feel trusting bringing your car somewhere new - especially as a woman, I find - but I felt super comfortable with the staff and service at Scott's. They offered to switch my engine and cabin air filters for a really fair price and weren't pushy when I declined. I'll be back!

We just moved into COS and I had a busted flex pipe and catalytic and have tried to find someone to fix this issue for about 5 or 6 years and Scott's was the first to do me right and not charge me almost what my car costs to fix it. They were very polite, quick, and professional and super knowledgeable. This will be mine and my families primary auto care spot until we move out of CO. I could not recommend these guys enough to anyone needing any kind of car need. They do everything here and sell tires as well.

Would recommend Scott’s Automotive to anyone that wants a fair price and detailed explanation on your cars needs. With that being said I want to thank shout out to Kain and Tony for their hard working and dedication to my car and family’s needs. All vey kind and very commutative. It felt like family. The establishment was also very inviting and clean. We will continue coming here for all of our cars needs. Thanks again crew at Scott’s Automotive you all rock!

We had a flat tire in a rental. They were so incredibly kind and helped us switch out the flat. They treated us incredibly well knowing we were not going to earn them a dime. I wish I lived close enough to use them; it's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. Please give them your business!

If you have an automobile with sensitive maintenance or repair needs, this is the place to go. We have a German sports car which, like many of them, is "built like no other," meaning you need someone who knows their peculiarities, how to diagnose unusual problems, how to order parts, how to install them properly, and how to make it look nice. They enjoyed a challenge and made ours run better than it has in the twenty years we've owned it. They charge fairly for their talent, but they will take care of your special needs and, like the owner said, "We want you to enjoy your car." Highly recommended.

Concours is the only shop I will have work on my 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider. Very thorough mechanics and they know their stuff.

This place used to be so much better & my "go to" when the owners SON ran the show and knew how to treat and interact with customers / clients. The owner Mark WEINER is a much suited name for this fellow which I use that term very loosely. While Mark's SON worked for the company I had nearly every vehicle I owned both built and maintained by Concours, but now I will never again return for even so much as a donut during a cars n' coffee event. I called Mark asking about getting a Lamborghini Murcielago in for an oil change & inspection, not only could he not even give me a price and the schedule availability, but he acted as if I'd interrupted his day as a customer. Needless to say I called a good friend at a local dealership instead who was able to get me in and serviced within 2-days and that included having to order the oil change service kit. Mark always loves to make belittling comments to his customers if you dare question a charge, pricing or even blink wrong while your card is pending approval. Mark's attitude and demeanor doesn't surprise me one bit being where he's from. Enjoy your last few years in business, because words getting out and discussions are fluid amongst the automotive community about what a horrible operation you have.

Long review sum-up: "When we showed up to pick up my vehicle the pompous owner told us we were out of line to question him and belittled us by asking "do you even know how much my computer costs and to run these tests?" To which we happily answered- "we have our own, it doesn't cost, but we used your shop for timeliness". The conversation ended by the owner telling us his shop is not for us." He also bluntly said "$150 is a tiny amount of money. This isn't brutal." _________________ Wow, not a review-type personality: no matter the times I swear to myself, "I'll leave that positive/negative review later tonight". We were a return-client to Concours Cars as they are close-to-home and had been a excellent option to tow a dead car to in the past and get timely work done for a new starter. We had never met anybody who works here- the tow dropped off my vehicle and we picked it up later with the keys on the wheel. Because of this effortless and timely service we decided to use Concours again, today: when my vehicle died unexpectedly in a shopping center. I went to check-in shortly after it arrived at Concours to see if they would run the tests today or how long I could expect to wait on further news. Turns out, timely as ever, my car was already fixed when I showed up- less than an hour after it had been stored at Concours. The fault of my dead vehicle was a simple poor connection my my battery and they cleared the cars computer. We were charged 146$ and some change to which my partner handled over the phone and inquired as to why the charge was so hefty for under an hours' work, and a simple connection issue that only needed tightened. Monkeys work. We didn't believe as a return client we would be nickled and dimed as we all know how building business-relationships work. So, after explanation to my partner by the owner we were happy to pay or sum with no turmoil in our conversations. When we showed up to pick up my vehicle the pompous-owner told us we were out of line to question him and belittled us by asking "do you even know how much my computer costs and to run these tests?" To which we happily answered- "we have our own, it doesn't cost, but we used your shop for timeliness while we needed to focus on our work day". The conversation ended by the owner telling us his shop is not for us. If I could leave less stars, you know I would. What a sour taste I left with and I sympathize with the others' who too have felt compelled to share their negative experience. Paige L. Vancil

This is the only place I'll bring my '73 VW Bug to anymore! They are awesome and detailed in their work. Mark, the owner, has walked me through every inch of getting my bug back on the road after an engine fire. I've tried other shops in the Springs for my VW but none compare to their knowledge here. Yes they may cost a bit more but it's worth it it to know that the work is being done correctly! This is not the shop for your everyday vehicle - just the ones you take pride in!

I like this place. They have friendly, knowledgeable staff, a good shop, and a great location (easy to hang out in Old Colorado City if you're just waiting for something quick). That said, this isn't for everyone. They really do specialize in rare cars that need that extra bit of care, that extra touch. That doesn't come cheap, and their prices reflect that. However, it was the only place I've found anywhere in the area that I felt I could drop my rare British sports car off for work knowing it'd be in good hands...and for that peace of mind, I'll gladly pay extra. They completed the work on time, and took extra time explaining some of the details to me.

Been back 3 times since my first review to have work done on both VW's (Golf R and TDI) Brett, Frank and Jason are great people to work with. Brett has been awesome to work with on tuning my Golf R as well as maintaining the TDI with needed regular work (oil, brakes, tires). I will continue to use Concours for all of my VW/Euro car needs.

After research decided to give Concours a try. Front office and garage team both have treated me with courtesy and care. Jed does excellent work and goes above and beyond. Won't take my car anywhere else!

Run the other way unless you have money to burn. Rude and overpriced, but that is their reputation. If you like arrogant, know it all owners of small businesses, you have found the right place. I would take my car to the junkyard before I would let them work on my car again.

Great shop for specialty cars. Staff is entirely filled with specialists. If you have a BMW, they have that guy, a Porsche , that guy, etc. Everyone there has a passion for cars and making them run great. This is not Pep Boys or a dealership, rather a specialty shop that comes with extensive knowledge and a bit of a price tag. On the track, I will take knowledge over saving a couple bucks any day.

This place is terrible. They tried to oversell us on parts that were not needed, overcharged us for what was performed and were incredibly rude. I will NEVER go back.

Costs a little more, but worth it. My 2001 Audi S4 isn't the easiest car to work on, and their expertise, with Audis in particular, is invaluable. I was really disappointed with the service and knowledge at two other shops when I first bought my car, and now I won't let anyone else touch it. Plus, while there, my car gets to hang out with Ferraris, Alfas, and even the occasional Talbot.

Customer service needs work. My mechanic (Jason) was nothing but helpful and a very knowledgeable gentleman. This being said, the front office needs work. I took my car in to have a high capacity radiator and oil cooler installed. At the end of the visit my bill was $1000 more than I was quoted by Mark. I was surprised when it was handed to me to say the least. After the install I find my car running warmer than before. When I contacted Mark to ask for further support he implied that I was a crazy customer, my parts probably weren't very good, and that I should contact the manufacturer of the parts. I did contact the manufacturer, they had never heard of this happening before. After that Mark said I should bring the car back and spend some more money to get them to troubleshoot the the problem. I think not. I will be finding another shop with better customer service.

A long story but they intentionally put the wrong APR tune in my Porsche,(wrong tune for the DME, wrong tune for what the car had). This caused multiple trips to different shops (3 Zero 3, CoSpgs Porsche and Concours), trying to figure out why the car was running so poorly. $2000 later, no resolution. European Performance did what they could, fixing the vacuum issue that controls brake performance and boost pressure, both critical performance issues missed by the shops above. Though they couldn't fix the tune issue that had the car in "Limp Mode" for almost 2 years. Ultimately, back at Porsche, it was discovered they rendered the DME incapable of returning to factory software. Another $3200 to fix that issue. Now the car is happy. As for APR, they refused to refund the $2200 for the wrong software they helped Concours put on my car. If I were you, would stay as far away from Concours and APR as you can get!
