Had a really good experience with the service team. Went in for carb issues and a broken control arm bolt, as they discovered other shops miss steps they were really good about communicating and solving only what was needed. So many times other shops want to replace everything and run up a bill, never felt that way during my time. More so it was apparent they wanted my business over the long haul as they delivered my 66’ Vette in way better condition than when I dropped it off!Don’t get caught up in the reviews about poor communication, they are just a busy shop and for a reason….They will get back to you and more so, they will be fair and honest, which is way more important than a call back in 15 mins…

Jay took the time to show me a car hes got listed for sale, let me crawl around all over it, gave me the backstory, and also showed me around the shop. Hes honest, funny, and very knowledgeable. If he has a car that you want to buy, you can rest assured hell tell it to you straight.Shop looks great, they specialize in older vehicles, and Id trust them completely to do restoration work.And - if you live in the neighborhood and need some help with something - Im sure theyd do a good job. Just understand its not just a regular repair shop - the place works on really valuable classic cars on a regular basis.

Bought a 1968 Barracuda from Jay. Not only was Jay honest about the car i made a great Friend. Jay is very Knowledgeable about classic cars.Jay was kind enough to clear his very busy schedule to give us a first class tour of his operation. Met a lot of his staff during the tour.If you love cars like I do Jay has lots . I thought I was in a candy store.When we were on the tour we seen many cars in various stages of restoration. I was impressed by the quality of work they do.I am planning another trip to see Jay and his cars.i have had lots of complements on the car i bought.Matt

Where do I start with these guys!! I purchased a 1974 International Scout from a vintage auto place in Denver but live in Kentucky. Soneffs was recommended to me for an inspection of the vehicle and repairs. Jay went out and looked at it and then rushed it to his garage as I was flying out to drive it before shipping it home to KY. Once is was back at Soneffs is were the best experience I have ever had with a Garage started!! Dave was the head mechanic that took over, he took the time to advise me the things that needed done, the things that could be fixed later and always stayed in contact with me about the costs every step of the way. I only gave them about 4 days to complete the work and they understood the time crunch due to airline flights that I was under. I was so impressed with the work done that I left the Scout for some additional work before it being shipped back to me!! So, if you are looking for the job to be done right on your classic investment and want the piece of mind that everything would be done to your satisfaction, then there is no other place to go in the Denver area. These guys are now considered family to me and I will use them again. Dave and Jay you are the best in town!!!! THANK YOU

Have a 1969 Corvette with an electrical problem that caused intermittent non-starting of the car. Took a few hours to trouble shoot and repair, but Soneffs solved the issue. Hats off to Irvin for this work. Also, Jason was able to remove a scratch on my Audi within 30 minutes. Did not expect him to be able to work on the scratch when I just stopped by earlier this week, but he fit it in. Very professional and courteous crew at Soneffs. Very customer-focused.

All I can say is WOW! Be ready, this is going to be a long review! There are so many positives dealing with everyone at Soneffs Master Garage!Being from Canada, we were in the market for a very specific 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. One night, I had been browsing around online seeing what was available. We had just missed one by a few days and we were a little disappointed. As I was getting ready to pack up, an ad popped up on the corner of my screen with a picture of the EXACT car we were looking for. I was hesitant to click on the link thinking it may be a virus, but ended up checking it out. The website seemed honest, so I saved the page.The following day, I called the shop. I was greeted by a rep named Taylor who did some digging in order to make sure the vehicle was still in stock. Although at the time we had not committed to the purchase, she was very helpful nonetheless. She put us in touch with Jay, owner of the garage. When I got in touch with him (he is a very busy man), Jay gave me a complete run down of the vehicle from top to bottom; he was no BSer, Jay knows his stuff. What made the vehicle special in our opinion was how it had been his driver and he really cared for it.Over the next couple of months, we went back and forth by email. Again, at that point, there was no word whether we had committed or not, but he still gave his undivided attention to us. It was around the two month mark when my dad and I seriously spoke about it that we felt if we were going to purchase a vehicle, this was the one.We decided to fly to Denver from Canada and see the vehicle in person. Jay was accommodating in arranging transport from the airport to the garage. In the meantime, an inspection was ordered on the Dart with a third party inspector. For the most part, the inspection came back good with very little issues. I want to add in that the inspector was happy with the way Jay had the vehicle ready upon his arrival. It made his inspection time shorter without any hiccups. Any notes that came up, Jay was willing to do a quality repair on upon our request.When we arrived in Denver, Jay was very welcoming, first giving us the full tour of the garage as well as his vehicle inventory. That was a very cool bonus! We chatted with his crew for quite a while; they are all so friendly and willing to answer question due to our limited knowledge of vehicles. They all really make you feel at home! His garage is beautiful by the way :) I love the old architecture of the downtown buildings and Jay has a prime one. Afterwards, we took the Dart for a test drive which is a thrill you just cant describe. We were pleased that Jay trusted us to drive the vehicle without signing any papers, that is what really sealed the deal.Back at the office, we met Debbie and Taylor in person. Debbie was super kind, being patient as we went through all the paperwork and they explained everything honestly. We could tell that they were not trying to sell us a dud of any kind. When a payment issue arose due to international banking, they were more than willing to let us just pay a small deposit until we could return to Canada and sort the finances out. All in all, we left Denver very happy with our decision!Fast forwarding to now, I have been in touch quite frequently with Debbie getting advice on shipping and filling out forms (to the point where I feel bad HAHA)! She is always willing to help & is very quick and thorough getting me any information I require. It has been a big stress taken off knowing that if I have any questions in regards to anything, she is only a call or email away. It has and will continue to be an absolute joy working with her making our dream a reality!We are so excited to finally be at this point and we could not have done it as seamless as it was without their knowledge of the system! You can guarantee that we will be back in future to add to our dream, no hesitations whatsoever!It isnt just about a car, its the relationships you make along the way that last a lifetime!Many thanks again,Nathan and Jeff Baron

#1 car mechanic I have ever been to! 5-star customer service with extremely high quality repair work at a reasonable price. They have worked on my Ford Focus a couple of times to work on my exhaust and suspension system as well as basic maintenance. After every visit they step through the repairs that were made and they always put in better parts than were originally in the car. Dave and his team are the experts when it comes to automotive repair and I appreciate their honest communication!

Terrible customer service. I called 3 times over 2 days just to try and make an appointment. I was told Dave would call me right back. Never got the call back. If I get treated this way this way for something as simple as trying to make an appointment, I sure am glad I didnt leave my car here. Heres a pointer... If you are too busy, simply say we cant take appointments right nowEdit: Similar to my phone call the review response is 4 month later. The phone call resolved that you DO NOT service Audi when you clearly advertise that you do. I would suggest you dont waste peoples time.

I have been a repeat customer at Soneffs Master Garage for many years working directly with Dave on my 1971 Chevelle. They always come thru and far exceed my expectation every time. No job is too small or too big and appreciate the friendly and professional service. I will remain a long term customer and encourage you give them a try on your next automotive service needs.

Soneffs is awesome! I tried calling shops all around Denver and everyone wanted to charge $100 + just to tell me what was wrong with my car. Soneffs was the only shop willing to tell me what was wrong without a fee and provided a very reasonable price for the fix. Dave specifically is amazing to work with!

Ive had a lingering problem with my 2003 BMW 330xi, rough idling on start-up and check engine light. Soneffs got me in on short notice, evaluated the vehicle, completed the work the same day and my car is running better than it EVER has. Soneffs will be my go-to garage for this vehicle. I couldnt be more pleased with their service.

My car died on the side of the road and the tow guy brought me here and Dave took care of me personally and was nothing but amazing! On a very busy Friday he took the tow guy in and ran diagnostics on my car! We were able to fix the car real quick and he sent me on my way! I would highly recommend this place to ANYONE who needs anything done to their car. Thank you Dave!

Took them my 1970 Bronco after wrecking it on black ice. They put it back together and restored some other things I wanted done (including a new paint job and adding vintage AC). I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Their work was fantastic--everything done to the highest quality. They were friendly, responsive, and honest. Gave me options for everything done and didnt pressure me on any point. Pricing was excellent as well. Jay was awesome to work with. Dave is extremely qualified, communicative, an dhelpful. Just a great experience start to finish.

Dave and the team at Soneffs did great work on my Shelby Kit Car, put in power steering that even the kit maker did not know how to do. He is very detailed and knowledgeable, clear on the work that needs to be done and keeps costs in check. Thank you!

Idk about the experience of purchasing a car with them, but I can commend them from their auto body work. They did an amazing job on the right side of my car (quarter and 2 door panels). I had to return my car for a lease and everything went smoothly!

I bought a 1970 plymouth duster 340 4spd. Car from Soneffs about 6 yrs.ago excellent car, everything Jay said about the car was right on, I have been around muscle cars for about 35 yrs. This fellow was very honest, I can see know why they are still in buissness. If I buy another muscle car, I will check these guys out first. Thanks again

Dave and the guys got my Audi sorted quickly and professionally. They were able to explain the faults, and how they would fix them. I would definitely recommend them!EDIT: I see another review here claiming that Soneffs dont work on Audis. Well I have about ten invoices from Soneffs for work on my Audi, so any such claim is false!

Daves always been outstanding, but even he outdid himself with the work he recently did on our 1989 740 Volvo. Just as I was starting to think it might be time to sell the car, Dave worked his magic - turned out all that was needed was a tuneup - now the car is running like a top. Thanks Dave!

Dave was so nice! I definitely recommend going to this garage. I needed the bulb of my headlight replaced, and I called several shops who claimed it would be upwards of $100 even though I already had the bulb. I always get nervous that I’ll be taken advantage of, as a young girl, looking for auto work. But Dave replaced it, free of charge in 45 mins! Genuine, kind, & caring staff!

This review is to provide a view into Soneffs classic car sales business:I recently explored purchasing a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 in Lemon Twist. I had several conversations with Jay Soneff about the car and its condition. The only issue that he revealed to me was driver-quality paint, which was not a deal breaker. There was never any other mechanical or body issues revealed during several of our conversations.In an effort to move the purchase forward, I hired a local car inspector to validate this claim and paid a hefty price for this inspection. Sadly, the inspector reported engine oil leaks, excessive engine crank time, cylinder misfires, heavy use of body fillers, and body rust.I would be very careful when purchasing any car from this dealer, as Soneffs is likely misrepresenting the condition of their vehicles. Thankfully, the purchases inspection aided me in avoiding a poor investment, but I sill wasted a significant amount of money/time to identify information that should have been revealed by the seller in our transparent conversations.

Live in the Detroit area and was looking at a vehicle in Denver, got a recommendation to use these guys for the pre-purchase inspection and couldnt be happier. Very professional, nice and the report I received was super detailed. Now I know everything that will need to be done to the vehicle and what could potentially need to be done to it. Would HIGHLY recommend them and assume that the rest of the services they offer are top notch.

If youre buying a classic car from out of town, call here and ask for Jay. Paying him few hundred can save you several thousand. The report was BETTER than if Id gone and looked myself, plus I saved the airfare, travel, time, lodging, and hassle. He doesnt BS you, just tells you like it is - the good, bad, and UGLY.

This place is grossly over priced. They poorly accessed the condition of my vehicle and didnt know how to prioritize what should be fixed first. I took my vehicle to another classic car garage and they were appalled by how much I was charged - 2Xs more than most other places. Watch out!

Review №39

Let me start me start off by saying that it is incredibly hard to find a reputable, honest and genuine service shop for vehicles. Mechanics are mired with bad reputations and dishonesty and with good reason, simply because a substantial amount of them are. This ubiquitous experience seems to be shared from most of the people that Ive talked to regarding finding servicers for their cars. Knowing this, I decided to look for a service shop based specifically on reputation and reviews. I started my search with that exclusively in mind and delayed repairs on my car specifically to do this. While reviewing shops in my immediate area I happened upon Soneffs Master Garage.When I took my vehicle in, the first person that I spoke with is Dave and he immediately set me at ease about some of the things I needed completed and was pretty shocked at how comfortable I was about his geniality regarding some of the questions that I had about cost, length of repairs and other expectations I had in mind. Given my previous experiences with other service shops, I felt like I would be one of their high maintenance customers (purposely) and that didnt seem to bother them at all. All of my questions were answered nicely and calmly and they went well out of their way to provide technical information about speculated root causes, their chain of troubleshooting they would like to do and what would be required. As a technical person I really appreciated this and they did not seem to trivialize or condescend this information.Throughout this entire process I feel like they went well above what was required to ensure that the expectations that they provided were actually met and the promises that were made would be delivered upon. The work was quality and timely. It was quite amazing to see how clean and orderly their shop was kept compared to some of the other shops that I reviewed. I will not be taking my car to any other service shops other than Soneffs Master Garage, I have more repairs to make and actually look forward to it. I cant recommend them highly enough to all my friends and those that are closest to me. It feels great to locate an honest and reputable service shop for my vehicle. Completely put any reservations about getting repairs done at ease. I hope it does for you too.Thanks again Dave & Soneffs!!!
