I have been using SubieSmith exclusively for all my Subaru work for the last year and couldn’t be more thrilled with them. They are always quick to inspect the car, and are open and honest with required repairs, timelines, etc. They check-in freque

Charles O’Brien

Thank you so much for inspecting my used but new-to-me Subaru Crosstrek. Anytime you buy a used vehicle, there are concerns. I was very grateful you were there to make sure everything was okay and that my safety was a priority. The fact that you all

Darla Wear

No BS. That’s the best way to describe Subiesmith. After the diagnostic, a full report link was sent to my phone, describing what was an issue, and ranking it red, yellow, or green depending on the severity of the issue. I then called them to discuss

This place has 100% set the bar for my expectations of excellent service. My first phone call with them made it evident they are straightforward and honest about their business. Lots of photos and good explanations of the recommended repairs were hel

Landon Livak

We love Subiesmith and my “Burro” a 2009 Forester feels exactly the same way! They have kept her in tip top shape for years already, and will for many more. They do extremely thorough inspections, backed up by photos, but never push me to make

Rachel Baron

Found these guys recommended on Reddit after management changed at my last shop. As a woman who doesn’t know a ton about cars and often calls her dad for input on many auto-related things, these guys feel honest and upfront about what I actually need

These guys got me in right away as I told them my radiator was leaking fluid really bad. My car did overheat but luckily no further damage. They found out during inspection I had a faulty radiator and warned me of other issues. Most were simple but t

Subiesmith provided amazing service from start to finish. Even before I brought my car in, they spent over 15 minutes on the phone with me going over what the issue might be, possible solutions, and a range of pricing options, something no other shop

Tiffany Ferentheil

I came in for a valve body replacement because I liked the upfront pricing. They ran a head gasket test and identified some potential issues there. My quote was rapidly climbing pretty high, but they did a good job explaining the priority and specifi

Subiesmith is by far the best place in Denver to get any maintenance and repairs done on your Subaru vehicle. Every time I have my vehicle worked on I am always reminded how professional and caring they are. Their pricing is competitive, often beatin

Aaron was super fast and friendly. Dealership quoted me 2 hrs of work was needed to fix my problem and Aaron did it in 30 minutes. Subiesmith is the place to go, skip the dealerships! Taylor wasn’t so bad either. Everyone is always very nice.

Karen Porter

Aaron worked really well with me when I broke the cover of my mirror on my new Subaru Forester Wilderness. He inspected my mirror for free. I had ordered my own replacement part and Subiesmith just charged me for labor. The dealership had given me tw

Jennifer Torres
