Clarkson’s Automotive

How the hell did these guys quote a $ 2500 job that needs to be done to my car (head gasket, timing belts, radiator hoses, fans etc). When I went to a better Subaru shop in Denver that just said I needed a simple coolant flush and hose change to fix my problem (160). And everything else was good. I mean 2500 vs 160 that’s a huge difference!
Guess I seemed vulnerable after having my car towed to them and I looked helpless with no options that they took advantage of me. I even ALMOST agreed to have them service my car and pay 2500 for no reason. Glad I held back and took my chances elsewhere. Beware of these guys and their 4 «good reviews» I definitely did not have the same experience

Got a quote from another shop and they wanted to charge $ 700 to change my brake lines and Clarksons charged $ 414. I will definitely use them again.

I’ve used Clarkson’s Automotive exclusively for my Subaru Outback since 2007. Clarkson’s always does excellent work. I’ve had minor repairs and maintenance as well as major repairs costing $$$$. They explain what needs to be repaired, what the options are, and I have never felt they are trying to upsell something I don’t need. Because they only service Subarus, they have a really good sense of each model year’s shortcomings and they know how to correctly repair/​replace those parts.

I was beyond relieved to find Clarkson’s when we moved to Conifer. Having had a terrible service experience at Mike Shaw in Denver I was really looking for a shop I could trust. Clarkson’s only services Subaru and while it’s obvious that they know their stuff and provide a high quality of mechanical service, their customer service is also top notch, which frankly means a lot to me. As someone who knows zilch about cars I feel like I’m easy to take advantage of and I’ve never had the sense that they were trying to pull one over on me — they’ve done minor work (replacing a headlight) for free and are always clear and transparent about what work needs to be done, what work might be upcoming but could wait, and why. Their prices feel reasonable and they are all around a pleasure to work with. I hope they always stay in business and as long as I live here I’ll always have a Subaru which I will take to Clarkson’s exclusively.

Sung and crew are fantastic. You can certainly tell that they are honest and very professional right from the start. I have dealt with Clarkson’s for many years (on my fourth Subie!) .and would recommend them to anyone!

Scott and Mike and the crew at Clarkson’s are awesome. They have been our mechanics for years — they are trustworthy, reliable, and their services are very reasonably priced. They specialize in Subaru.
