Always do outstanding service and very trustworthy.


Dec 07, 2024

Best neighborhood type car service. Pricing is fair and based upon getting the job done right. They may not be the lowest but my personal experience is to never pay the cheapest when it comes to car repair. You get exactly what you pay for here, quality parts, service, and fair price.

I have been using ACC for my vehicle service and repair for over 25 years. They have always been friendly, knowledgeable, and honest while providing the best service and prices in town!


Sep 07, 2024

Expertise and excellence at its finest. Academy Car Care and Repair has served my family with integrity and upmost quality for the last 20 years and I have no complaints.


Sep 07, 2024

I got charged 150$ for a cabin air filter. I don’t know if they thought they can take advantage of me because I am a woman but I was really upset I had to pay that. Don’t go there, especially as a women because they will try to take advantage of that it seems like.

Excellent job working on my 89 Oldsmobile, would return again.


Feb 07, 2024

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


Feb 07, 2024

Great service, always take the time to explain what work needs to be done.


Feb 07, 2024

Great service at a reasonable price. Academy Car Care & Repair is the only place I trust with my vehicle. I have never felt ripped off or that they were just pushing for a ticket markup. They were honest and even told me not to spend unnecessarily on an alignment I thought my truck needed when all it really needed was the tires balanced. I highly recommend everyone who asks for an auto repair or maintenance referral to Academy Car Care!


Feb 07, 2024

Great service! I trust them!


Feb 07, 2024

Great, knowledgeable, friendly staff, perfectly reasonable prices, and a AAA discount, too! A great experience to get your car taken care of here.


Feb 07, 2024

Honest, professional and courteous. Great place and people.


Feb 07, 2024

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!


Feb 07, 2024

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!


Feb 07, 2024

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.


Feb 07, 2024

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!


Feb 07, 2024

My wife's car was making a loud weird noise. I dropped it off so they could figure out what was wrong with it. They quickly found the problem and let me know how much it would be to fix it. As always, they did a great job! This shop has integrity. There are never any surprises about how much something is going to cost to get fixed. John, Curtis, and the whole staff are always courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for great mechanics.


Feb 07, 2024

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.


Feb 07, 2024

These guys are the best. John and Curtis do a great job of taking care of people.


Feb 07, 2023

Great honest place for vehicle maintenance.


Feb 07, 2023

Great service, awesome customer service!


Feb 07, 2023

I had an awesome experience with this shop. The guy at the front desk was straightforward, treated me respectfully, and got me in for an appointment within a week. I dropped off my car on the appointment day and picked it up 7 hrs later. Also, the price he quoted me at was what I paid after the repair. P.S. they aren't pushy about other fixes needed on your car, they essentially make suggestions without any pressure.


Feb 07, 2023

Respectful, honest, and generous. Highly recommend. My car's transmission was having some intermittent problems, so I scheduled an appointment to take it in for a diagnostic. Ironically, my car's issue disappeared for the week of the appointment, so the issue couldn't be reproduced for the diagnostic. They originally quoted me $170 for the diagnostic, but since the issue wasn't reproducible at the time, they charged me $0! They even topped off my oil and coolant levels! Even so, they let me know about the quality of the transmission and the fluid. When asked about a transmission service to replace the fluid, they we very honest and let me know that the new fluid could damage my old (1999) transmission, and that it'd be risky. That level of honesty is very much appreciated. While they recommended other routine services, they weren't pushy. This is a great place to go if you need car repairs!


Feb 07, 2023

This shop is honest, competent, and will take care of you. Based on a track record going back to 1993, I highly recommend academy Car Care and Repair.


Feb 07, 2023

Academy car care always does work to the highest standard and are punctual. John will always give you honest feedback and offer you various financial options. They are the only shop I trust to do major work on my vehicle.


Feb 07, 2023

Amazing, honest people who get the job done right. My family come here for all our mechanical needs. Thanks again guys!!!!


Feb 07, 2023

As an Extended warranty company we pride our selves in doing Business with Company's that share our core values "taking care of our customers " I really wish Curtis would have given us a chance to build a relationship. Oh Well!


Feb 07, 2023

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.


Feb 07, 2023

Feb 07, 2023

I have used Academy Car Care and Repair for several years and their services are right on task and on time at a very reasonable cost. The make a special effort to help the customer and their assessments and work have been right on track. I strongly advise using their services.
