Alan's Automotive & Diesel Repair, Inc.

I upgraded my truck to run off of SVO in January 2006. At that time I took my truck with the kit I had purchased to Utah for installation. After about 2 years I needed to upgrade my conversion kit. This time I brought it to Alan. more

I know that I can always count on Alans with any of my automotive needs - a trustworthy mechanic is a great piece of mind. more

For 11 years Alan's Automotive has worked on several vehicles I own. In each case effective repairs have been made more than satisfactorily. The quality of attitude and mechanical expertise far exceeds the norm! more

What I am most impressed with is Alan?s knowledge - He knows diesels! It has been so refreshing to work with him, because he really knows what he is talking about and if he doesn?t know something he researches it and studies it until he knows exactly what it going on. He spent countless hours pouring over technical schematics and theories with SVO conversions and combined that with his own extensive expertise?I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. more

I brought my car in and they were able to do the repair I asked but I had another problem the next day and was charged yet another diagnostic fee. I paid over the phone because I was to be late picking up my car. I asked that they leave the key in the car so I can take it. I don't live here in Colorado Springs and I had an interview first thing in the morning three hours away. They LOCKED the key in the car and I spent hours in the freezing cold trying to break into my own car, my ride having left since both of us assumed I would hop in and go. Buyer beware! You'll spend a lot more than necessary and deal with stupidity like this. I will not be returning, and also urge anyone else to find a differant locally owned repair shop. I will be interviewing on about two hours of sleep, which really matters when you've been unemployed and overcharged on car repairs you must have to work! Pros: quick Cons: high cost, office lacks common sense. more

Testimonial for Alan?s Automotive & Diesel\r I upgraded my truck to run off of SVO in January 2006. At that time I took my truck with the kit I had purchased to Utah for installation. After about 2 years I needed to upgrade my conversion kit. This time I brought it to Alan.\r He had never done this conversion before. He had a steep learning curve and multiple people to talk to and coordinate with. I cannot express just how impressed I was with Alan and the work his shop did! Despite no previous experience in SVO conversions Alan?s installation was significantly better. Every part they put in was high quality and everything looks like it was actually stock with the truck.\r What I am most impressed with is Alan?s automotive knowledge. He knows diesels! It has been so refreshing to work with him, because he really knows what he is talking about and if he doesn?t know something he researches it and studies it until he knows exactly what it going on. He spent countless hours pouring over technical schematics and theories with SVO conversions and combined that with his own extensive expertise?I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.\r SVO conversions are relatively new technology. It has changed dramatically just in the past two years. The technology is getting better and better and Alan has already started making improvements to the system he is installing. \r Finally and most importantly, I trust Alan. He has absolutely stood by his work and if there are any problems, he will make it right. Daniel Lawrence\r more
