Tired of paying high prices and all the high pressure that their Service Department applies at the typical Subaru dealerships in the Denver, CO area? _[deleted by moderator]_

Great example of a SPAM post. Les must be the owner.

Nope! I was simply sharing my experience with an outstanding firm. I have  
NO affiliation with this business from a business/financial standpoint…  
other than my own personal experience with their exceptional service. I  
recently moved from the Dallas, TX area & I feel fortunate in finding them.

I can assure you that this is NOT a ‘spam message’. If you don’t believe  
me… give them a try.

Also… check them out with the Better Business Burea. I’m sure you’ll get  
a similar perspective.

If so, it might be better to add the shop to the Mechanics Files

And just how many people do you think will see this recommendation of yours that live close enough to use the place without also thinking Spam. Most people put reviews on Yelp or even the business web site. Yes, I think SPAM.

As I mentioned B4, this is not a SPAM message; just commenting on an  
outstanding experience for service on a Subaru. They typically don’t do  
work on any other brands (i.e., Volvos).

When I 1st moved from TX, I had an Aucura but they referred me to another  
shop that worked on Aucuras. I purchased a Subaru for it’s AWD capabilities  
for the CO weather shortly thereafter. Again, I’m simply giving my  
experience with Automotive

It blatantly looks like spam even if it’s not meant that way. Your post may be well intentioned but due to the plethora of spam posts that appear on this board your post may be lumped in with all of the other spam based on the way you so vociferously promote the outfit.

Ok thanks for sharing. Now everyone from Broomfield that has a Subie raise your hand.

I hope no one wants to know the best Acura dealer in Minneapolis.

No, but I do want to know who sells and services “Aucuras”!

I’m not even going to respond to that as I put my red pen down after reading the paper. One of the worst ones was the Chaplain writing his column in the Legion paper. He started out “As I sit down to right this column”. Ahhhhhhhhhh. I went nuts. Some on this board want me to reveal names but I will never reveal names. The closest I will come is “Rollie” who took 7 weeks to fix my transmission badly. I assume that was his real name since he owed the state $500,000 under that name. Sorry, I veered a little.

I don’t care about Acura dealers. I know the best sandwich place in Maryland if anyone wants to know. Has parking in front (now it’s car related)

Difficult question to answer, since there aren’t any good Acura dealerships here. 😉

I would assume it was crooked. Why do you have a problem with the writing? 😉

This should be in the Mechanics Files. And I should be drinking a beer.
