If you ever use anyone but Adam at complete auto, you are getting scammed. I'm old and this is the most honest place I have EVER used. He treats everyone with respect and fixed our daughter's car that someone "fixed" (endangering our kids and grandchildren) and they are safe again at a better price. Thank you Adam

Adam was great to work with. We were in a pinch with a failing alternator. Adam was quick to provide a quote and quick turnaround on service. After just moving to northern Colorado from the east coast, we were nervous to find a mechanic that was trustworthy, reliable and provided great service. Happy to say that we found that in Adam at Complete Auto Care. Will definitely return with all of our vehicle needs and recommend to others.

I just left Ft. Collins Complete Auto Repair; and, I am a happy customer. The people there are polite, respectful, professional, knowledgeable. My steering repairs were discussed / explained by phone, prior to service. Repair fees were reasonable. No extras were added on. My old Subaru was well cared for and I again feel safe on the road. I highly recommend Ft. Collins Complete Auto Repair. Ft. Collins consumers, I'm sure you will be equally pleased!

I towed my work truck to Adam because the remote start someone else had installed in it stopped working and the key wouldn't start the truck either. Every other shop around town told me they wouldn't even look at it for at least a week, but Adam received it on Monday and had it fixed on Thursday. It was a small repair but this went a long way with me. My wife thanks you for shortening the time I spend in our personal car covered in dust and mud. Thanks Adam!

If I could give 10 stars I would!! The whole team at Complete Auto Repair are AMAZING!! Not only did they fix my throttle body on my truck, also fixed my son's electrical problem on his car. I am so thankful to have found a mechanic that I can trust. You can't find them anymore!!

Was asking around around on yelp for some quotes. Some companies would not talk with me unless i brought my car into them. I already knew exactly what i needed because i had it in at the dealer.
Adam however was prompt in getting me a quote in under 24 hours. Answered my questions that i had afterwards and also was able to work me in quickly as well.
I definitely appreciate the introduction to quality of service.
I was headed out of town and was able to leave my car. They have a key drop box that you can leave your keys. It was extremely easy. I got a text with a link to what work i was authorizing. He had it done with in a day.
His quotes came in less than the ones that i did manage to get from others. Also if you are a first time YELP customer there is a 15% off coupon.
He sent me a text with a link to tell me what other work my car might need. Some of it I knew from the dealer, a couple of things I did not. But was appreciative of knowing what else he found.
I drove my car this morning for the first time post having the work done and the car is driving much better.
I would definitely come back in the future.

Went to Complete Auto based on a referral from a friend.
Amazing service with fast turnaround. We brought in our Lexus GX470 with a bad alternator. Adam was able to get us rolling within 24 hours, was communicative, and reasonably priced. 5/5 will refer friends and be back myself.

Adam is an excellent mechanic and craftsman.
I had a failed cruise-control battery on my mercedes S550. This was tucked away in the trunk of all places. The work involved electrical, venting, and alot of trim removal and was done professionaly and promptly at a value price. I recommend Wrench and Socket!

I've had bad experiences with places rounding up for the work they do. I brought my car to them on a tow truck because it wouldn't start in the cold weather. I had just replaced the battery only a couple years ago, so I figured it would be a larger problem than that. Well, these guys did a diagnostic, and found that it WAS the battery. I was bummed, because if I knew that was the problem from the start, I could change it myself. I was extremely worried they would charge me over a hundred just to run their tests, but was pleasantly surprised that they charged me a reasonable amount. They also ordered me a new battery, jumped my car and sent me on my way. Very pleased, and they have gained a little of my trust.

I brought my Toyota 4-Runner to The Wrench and Socket to have them look at why my check engine light was on and look into a possible fuel issue. They were able to diagnose the issue within a day (misfiring cylinder), and provide me a very reasonable estimate to replace the failed injector. In addition, they also provided an estimate to replace all the injectors, which I did. The work was completed in a timely manner and I could not be happier! My rig runs great now!

What a great find at The Wrench and Socket right here in Fort Collins, CO. I brought my 2015 Honda Pilot in after doing a little bit too much extreme camping and off-roading for my family vehicle. Since I saw he had experience in both general auto repair and maintenance, and 4x4 off-road services, I figured it this was the place I needed to go.
I had been hearing some unusual noises since my rugged trip, and Adam drove around with me to listen to the noises. He did a thorough check of the vehicle, and was honest with me when nothing other than a few small muffler dents were found. He was fast, reliable, and honest. It's often hard to find that in the auto repair industry. Thank you Adam and The Wrench and Socket! You will be my go to from now on for my families auto repair and maintenance needs.

So I'm on my way to work on HWY 85 and some thoughtful soul had dropped an item off their vehicle. Guess who had the good fortune to run into it, yeah me. This unfortunate incident damaged my radiator and air conditioning condenser and rendered my car useless. I have a BMW and was thinking, well this is gonna cost me! I called up Adam and explained what happened. I towed my vehicle in and he was prompt with an estimate. I dreaded opening the documents thinking, "sorry son, you're going to have to pay for your own college", but to my surprise the bill was very reasonably and fairly priced. I authorized the repairs and even asked him to get my brakes done. The only delay in the experience was waiting for a part to get shipped. He had the vehicle repaired and back on the road in a few days. I'm glad I was able to bring business to a local guy and get treated like a person in the process. From now on, I'll be bringing any repairs over to The Wrench and Socket!

We had an alternator belt snap that attached to the AC, had to have car towed. We had a quote from Scott’s automotive, $1500.00 to repair. Found this business through Google . Adam, the owner, looked at the vehicle the next day, his total repair cost was $515.00. He had the repair work finished within 48 hours!! Seems like a very honest and hard working man. Would defiantly use his shop again!

My Ignition switch broke on my 1982 Mercedes 380 SL leaving me unable to start my car. I attempted to replace the switch myself but quickly realized I was in over my head. Adam @ Fort Collins Complete Auto Repair did an amazing job taking apart my dash/ instrument cluster to replace old switch with the new one. I am very pleased with his work and am happy to be back on the road. I will definitely be bringing my car back for any future repairs/ maintenance. Thanks Adam!

Wow! This auto repair shop is amazing. I had the deadliest of alerts in my Nissan Altima: check engine light 😱 Knowing that this could mean I could be out of vehicular usage, I looked for a local out of Fort Collins that wouldn't sell me on other repairs I "need". Adam was super friendly and got me scheduled within 24 hours! He told me it would take roughly 1 hour to get the diagnostics run and it was exactly that! On top of running the diagnostics, he called up a local Nissan service center and tried to figure out pricing for me to see how much the problem would cost to repair. In the end, he told me that he didn't want me to waste money if things were covered under my warranty (which they were) and I ended paying him pennies compared to what I could have paid. Adam, Wrench and Socket, thank you for caring about ME and MY needs. For anything related to my vehicle's repairs or even an oil change, I'll be coming to you.

My daughter lives in Fort Collins and I live in Pennsylvania. Finding a trustworthy, honest, reliable mechanic remotely can be very difficult. As soon as I contacted Adam, he was all of those things and more. He was able to troubleshoot her 2011 Nissan Rogue, complete the necessary repairs and get her back on the road safely and within 48 hours. Adam was so great to work with and I have a tremendous peace of mind, knowing that she has a place to take her vehicle for future repairs/service. HIGHLY recommend Adam and FCCAR.

Brought our Mercedes GLK in for a routine service as well as our Ford F-150 to investigate a check engine light. Adam was great, our repairs were done quickly and at a reasonable price. We certainly be back for any other issues in the future.

I needed my timing and AC belts replaced and this little shop did great! I dropped my car off after hours and they had it done by 1 pm the next day. Not to mention they have great prices compared to other shops around Fort Collins. I would highly recommend taking your car here!

Called around and had yelp message other auto shops and Adam was the first to respond and had one of the lowest quotes. With the discount adam gave me it by far beat out the estimates other shops in the area were ball parking. Will definitely come back for future car repairs. Thanks again adam!

I was able to get in immediately and get much fairer prices than anywhere else in town!! If you are able to use this repair shop absolutely do it. My car is working great again and I saved so much money

I recently bought an old Volvo for my college-aged son. It needed some work, and since we are new to the FOCO area, I looked to Yelp for mechanics. I sent out a quote request thru YELP and Adam at W&S responded promptly, answered all my questions, and was really helpful. Even though he was new to Yelp and didn't have a lot of reviews, I decided to give him shot and took the old car to him for diagnostics and repairs. Everything worked out really well. Adam was accommodating to our schedules, his prices are reasonable, and his communication was great. He seems like a really honest and hard working guy, and I will certainly use him again!!! Thanks Wrench & Socket and Yelp for your help!

My old car has been begging for some help for some time. I got four estimates for replacing the front axles and CV joints to start with. The other things are not critical nor safety related (oil change, filters replaced, etc.). I decided on going with Adam at FCCAR based on reviews here and elsewhere, the shop's proximity to home (I drive right past it almost daily), estimated repair price (slightly less than the others), his availability, and his kind demeanor. I'm very happy I came here, and highly recommend Adam. He did a great job replacing the parts, and was done even earlier than he said he would be. I'm looking forward to using him for some of the other things my car needs, as soon as I can find the time to bring it back in.

I need an oil change, but don't have a lot of trust in the drive up and go shops. I also don't want to pay $100 like the dealership charges. This shop was competitively priced and quick! I will be back in the future!
