5280 Motorsport

"Eric and Nick did a tremendous job of diagnosing and repairing my A4. On my way to DIA, my check engine light came on. Conveniently located in my neighborhood, I swung by Eric’s shop and asked him if he could take a look as to why the indicator is on. Within a couple minutes he had plugged in the A4 and diagnosed an issue with the turbo and still wanted to test it out to confirm as replacing turbos can be costly. I was able to drop the car off and upon return from my business trip, it was ready to go. The car runs better than it has the last three years., and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody who owns German cars."

"I took my Audi Q7 TDI there for repair. He said the engine was completely damaged and that I should junk out the car. I tool the car to the dealership for a second opinion. They refuted his assertion that the engine was damaged. My car is still running till now without any engine issues."

"I'm speechless I dropped of someone's lazy, sloppy work here to have it finally fixed right. It wasn't an easy project. Eric and his team returned my car in amazing condition. It's a different car entirely. 5280 is my shop for life."

"Terrible experience - Four days and $822 and not only did they not fix my problem, they created another one that cost me another $600 to fix. The shop is an absolute mess with piles of papers, chip bags, and full ashtrays everywhere - the photos on the website are a false representation of the current shape of the business. The owner Eric wasn’t expecting me on our agreed-upon appointment date, didn’t have the part on hand as per our agreement, and upon pick up, handed me the wrong car key and didn’t offer a receipt until I asked. I came in because of a knocking noise in the rear and thought it might be shocks. Nobody bothered to take the car for a drive to feel/hear what I was experiencing and instead he told me I need front struts. I was confused because the noise was in the back but went ahead anyway. They took 4 days to replace the front struts, did a terrible job leaving grease everywhere and tearing the CV boot – and left me not only with the problem I came in with but a brand new one. I then took it to another place who gave me excellent service. They drove the car, took ‘before’ pics and had me fixed in a single day. I don’t leave many reviews but for some reason, 5280 has good reviews and it was the single worst experience I’ve had with a mechanic. I gave Eric a chance to make it right and respond, which he never did. I want to warn people away from 5280 and to the other shop, who took EXCELLENT care of me. I’m leaving a review for them as well so you can find them and stay away from this awful place."

"I'm adding to my initial review... Eric and his team are seriously top notch. I wish I could give them 10 out of 5 stars. We are lucky to have a shop like this in Denver for German automobiles. I used a few other shops before I found 5280, but will never use anyone else as long as I'm in the Denver metro area. Every time I stop into the shop, I feel like I could spend a few hours talking with the staff. The breadth of knowledge at 5280 deserves an award. I will never doubt the work they perform because they show you exactly what they did and anything they replaced. I cannot express enough what a great resource they are!!! ... Eric and his team are a great resource for metro Denver - I'm happy I found them. They completed completed the work on our Jetta same day and talked me through exactly what was done and what we might expect next. I definitely recommend them for your German car needs and for their expertise in German automobiles."
