S-Wings Stuff Automotive Inc

Best, most honest mechanics I have ever experienced! I brought my car in for a second opinion after visiting another local (well– reviewed) place that doesn’t focus on Subarus after I had been told my late ’90’s Forester with 200,000 miles needed over $ 1100 worth of work (new rack and piñon). I came into S-​wings and not only did the owner tell me that he would have done that job for HALF that price and said He would look at it. After checking out the car he took the time to do a full walk– through under my car on a lift with me and show me exactly why the other mechanic mis-​diagnosed my car and proceeded to tell me that my car required no major repairs. My fist visit saved me $ 1100 and it didn’t cost me a dime. It’s been running fine since. As a late twenty something female I have felt like I have been up-​charged and recommended unnecessary repairs in the past, Mike and his team continue to improve my knowledge about my car, talk reasonably about my budget and repair my car for the best price in town!

Did I sign up for Unilocal after a million internet years for the purpose of writing this review? Absolutely. That’s how strongly I feel that S-​Wings is the best Subaru mechanic in the area.
My Outback had a persistent air intake error code after its 60k tuneup that came back no matter what I did at the dealership. Unsatisfied with my experience there (and really, who isn’t?), I got a recommendation from a friend to try S-​Wings. From the first conversation I had with owner and proprietor Mike Hynes, I knew this would be a different auto mechanic experience. Mike is not interested in selling repairs, but in solving problems, and that makes a word of difference for me as a customer and my car. Over the next four months, Mike walked me through the possible problems with the error, educating me about my system at the same time he was investigating it. He didn’t immediately jump to big ticket repairs like a catalytic converter replacement, but instead worked through the other possible causes of the error in a systematic fashion that eventually resulted in a fixed car at far less than I expected to pay given quoted repairs at other places. My Outback is the most important piece of property I currently own, and I am glad that Mike and his staff care as much about making it run smoothly as I do.
Seriously, come here for your Subaru repairs. Make the trip from Aurora or Evergreen. I promise it’ll be worth your while.

Mike and his crew are the most honest, fair, and excellent car people I know, which is saying a lot as I come from a family of great car people (my father worked for a major car company, my brother mods and repairs cars).
I came to Mike after my car mysteriously died on I-​25, he was recommended by a family member out of state who had heard tell of how awesome Mike was from a friend who had lived in Denver. Mike determined it was my dying battery and brought me in the shop to show me my car and what was wrong with it (it wasn’t busy that day, usually they’re busy, so don’t expect this to happen all the time, I was lucky). As it was a wet battery, he simply filled it with water and said «Okay, you’re good, you probably need a new battery in the next few months, but there you go». He didn’t accept any money from me for his time, so I’ve made sure to come back to him ever since.
He charged less than half what the dealership wanted for a battery, and his prices on other services are fantastic. He and his crew work with you and take care of you, and I know I will return to him for a used car when I next need one.
Don’t bother going anywhere else, seriously. S-​Wings for life.

I could not say enough about this place. I first came to the shop in 2008. Before that I had been taken advantage of at a shop not too far from them. Since then I only take my car to Mike. He educates me on whatever issues or problems arise while working with my schedule and finances to insure that I am driving my car safely. I have recommended them to everyone and will continue to do so. Whether I get into another Subaru or not I will always take my car to these guys first!

I recently moved from West Virginia and I can say that I have found my new subie guys! Mike is everything previous reviews said he was. He has integrity and I honestly felt like he was looking out for my best interest. Please please please go check these guys out they are awesome!

I moved to Denver from upstate NY leaving my mechanic friend, absolutely sure I would not find anyone of his caliber (and price) here. After my car broke down a few months later, I had to go on a hunt to find this person, and that person is Mike Hynes at S-​Wings.
Mike worked with me to repair and sell my broken car, let me purchase a loaner car in the meantime, gave me a new loaner when that car was stolen, and repaired the recovered vehicle, all the while searching for, purchasing, fixing up and selling me my dream car. I now am the proud owner of a 2006 Subaru Forester with just 60K miles which I got for a very reasonable price. It runs great, and I know Mike will be there if any issues come up in the future.
Mike and his team went beyond what any mechanic, dealership or average person would do. As you can tell, I had a complicated car situation that ended up lasting a few months. Mike did everything he could to make it easier without expecting anything above average in return. I hope the shop enjoyed the cookies I baked for them after all my car stuff was sorted out.
I’m happy to have a mechanic I can trust here in Denver. I’ve already referred several friends here and will be back again when I need a tune-​up.

I went into S-​Wings Stuff nervious from an estimate of $ 900 from another garage for a hub and bearing replacement. A friend said I needed to see «her guy» at S-​Wings ans so I thought I’d give it a try.
When I got in, Mike showed me exactly what I needed to fix (only a bearing, no hub!) and then, when I expressed I wanted to do the repair, he gave me tips on how to do it! He spent well over an hour speaking with me and didn’t charge me a penny for the consultation. I bought my parts from him, and then when everything was too rusted for me to replace he did the repair for $ 60 under his estimate.
I’m so grateful for the help, and I’ll keep coming back!

I am extremely impressed by the entire staff at S Wing Stuff, those guys are so friendly, thoughtful and above all else knowledgable about the work that they do. I have been in several times for car trouble on my 2008 Subaru and each time I leave feeling overly satisfied. Their prices are fair, the morals are outstanding and as a female I trust them in the work they are performing and what they are charging me for. They are very clear and transparent about what needs to be done on the car, and work quickly to resolve problems. I will never take my car do another shop because the service is too great to pass up here at S-​Wing Stuff.

Mike and his staff are the most HONEST and KNOWLEDGEABLE Subaru technicians in Denver, hands down. I’ve been to every Subaru specialty shop in the city and none have even come close to not only pricing, but most importantly customer service. They never hesitate to take you into the garage and show you exactly what’s wrong, and answer ANY questions you could possibly come up with. Mike and his guys have my business for life.

On a road trip and tight schedule. When my Outback had a problem, this guy saved the day. With great service, great price and great attitude. Thank you S-​Wings!

If you are looking for a local shop that will treat you right, this is the place for you. I was traveling through Denver and got myself in an accident. Mike, the owner, just happened to be eating breakfast at a restaurant on the corner of the intersection where the accident occurred. On a Saturday, at 5:30 a.m., he offered to look at my car and see if he could get it up to driving condition for the 917 mile drive back to Austin, TX. Mike opened up his shop an hour and a half early to patch up the car. By 7:30, the car was ready to go. Mike was truly a kind person helping out another person who was a stranger to his city and in a bit of a pickle. I tried to give him a check for his time, and he refused to accept it. He told me he was not interested in the money; he just wanted to make sure he could take care of us as best as he good. The car drove back flawlessly all the way back to Austin.
This review is mostly about the character of the owner of S-​Wings Stuff Automotive. The work Mike did on the car was wonderful and performed exactly to the level Mike said it would; however, the part of my experience that stands out the most is how honest and helpful Mike was in this experience. Mike was exactly what I needed during this difficult moment in my life.
If you prefer to work with local people who are honest and hard-​working, give S-​Wings Stuff Automotive an opportunity to show you how great they are.
Thank you Mike!
