Price gouged like I've never seen before. $90.20 in parts for a cabin air filter? $70.50 in labor to replace the filter because they had to use a shop vac in the process? Bringing the total to $150.70 for an air filter! Was also quoted an insane price for replacing spark ugs/coils. The parts and labor involved for this should've been half what they quoted. Would look elsewhere.

I came to Academy Car Care and Repair based on the reviews and they did not disappoint. My car needed a diagnosis. Since they found out what the issue was that caused my check engine light on and fixed it, they did not charge me for the full diagnosis. Highly recommend!

The team here is great! ****** has assumed operations and management. I have brought my car here for years. They have done major repairs like my transmission, my rack and pinion steering and much more. I had concerns about my new brakes. After an inspection they replaced the brakes at no cost. Then I had a service engine light come on. They made the time to diagnose and advise me, replace the sensor and ensure my car was operating okay.

I made an appointment to get my car checked. Couldn't make the appointment because I was unable to start my car. They never called me to follow up to see if I needed to reschedule or anything. Most mechanics aren't reliable anyway.*Update to Owners response* You had my information to call me. My phone does not accept automated text I don't know. I will change the review to 3 stars for your response.

I popped in needing a plastic piece removed from underneath my pickup before heading to Denver. They were fast, helped me out immediately and sent me on my way. Cannot thank you all enough for the quick and helpful service!

Good mechanics but they left a lot of dirty areas on the headliner.

I couldn't recommend using academy car care and repair enough. Honest, dependable and trustworthy. They work hard and are good at what they do. Truly, you won't find a car shop in springs who are as honest and trustworthy as they are. Taking your car here is well worth the money. They will actually fix what's wrong, and tell you what can wait if you're low on funds. I've been taking my vehicle's here for over 10 years now, I have literally never had not one issue with them. I won't take my cars anywhere else!

My deceased father used to take his Saturn Vue here back about 15 years ago, and the place was really great.In memory of the old man, I continued his legacy and kept taking the vue to Academy Car Care. Been a repeat customer for about 8 years or so. In that time I've had good service but lately it really has taken a turn for the worst.I first noticed something was amiss by John Massey (The owners son). His attitude really makes you wonder if he cares about his dad's business at all. Once this behavior began I should have found another shop probably 3-4 years ago.If he treats repeat customers in such a callus way, It makes me wonder how he treats his staff.A few visits previous I noticed odd things like various bolts not being tightened down properly (requiring me to take the car back in).Once again, trying to do as my dad would have done, I had the car taken in for a new clutch. Everything seemed fine for the first 10,000 miles. Now the clutch feels about as bad as it was at 70,000 with the stock clutch. Took it in and was told clutch was normal. Very frustrating the disconnect between management and the mechanics.I have a feeling that there is internal conflict with the staff here and they will take it out on your car. My trust us broken, and I will find another shop to do business with. Shame.

We had a multitude of repairs on an odd-ball car that they handled over several weeks. They worked with my husband to find the correct parts since it was a weird car, and together they were able to get the parts, get them installed, get things fixed, and get the car back on the road.Unfortunately though, some things came back damaged or not working after they worked on the car, and no effort was made to fix the items, or a false effort was made and a phone call was never returned. 1. The center console plastic piece was broken 2. The cigarette lighter port has no power 3. The temperature controls don't switch off of defrostWe really liked the work that they did, especially compared to our previous mechanic, but these other miscellaneous items that we now have to fix are frustrating.

I don't hesitate to take any of my vehicles to Academy Car Care and Repair. I have been taking my vehicles to them for well over 15 years. There are two things that stand out to me the most about this shop consistency and honesty. They consistently do excellent work and they are always honest about the work that needs to be done and the price that it is going to cost you. I highly recommend using them.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Been going to this shop since 2017 or so, never had any issues and have always been great about working with you to get the most out of your trip and service. Always busy so schedules can be hard, but when you're that good, you're always busy. Will always and have recommended this place to friends for years.
