I am SO grateful we found Collins! We are on an RV trip and had our catalytic converter replaced before we had left California. Almost to our destination of Estes Park, we heard the familiar awful sound our exhaust was making. Stopped at 2 other shops who either didnt work on exhausts or did not have any time to look, we were told about Collins. We pulled in and they took a few moments right away to see what we were looking at. Turns out the pipe was not welded on properly. They finished a truck they were working on, backed it out, pulled us in and welded the pipe properly. They even welded other parts of the exhaust they felt needed it to ensure it was done properly. We were on our way in less than an hour! The price was more than fair and everyone was so incredibly kind. They turned what could have been a disaster into a minor inconvenience. CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH!!
I took the car in to have the motor mounts changed and headers installed that would clear the steering shaft. They are instead putting one used factory exhaust manifold on one side leaving me with a different manifold on the other side. They will have to hook up the one manifold and they did put hangers on the existing exhaust. Cost for installing one factory manifold, a pair of motor mounts and some exhaust hangers? >$2400!!
Spot on with a custom exhaust I had them do, and quality second to none.
My go to shop! Honest, Great Service, and Friendly people. I recommend if you want it done right you take it to Collins Auto!
I highly recommend these guys. Very friendly and great work!
Ive been a customer for years and thought it was time to write a review for Scott and his team. Just took my Ram in for a ticking noise that I thought may be an exhaust leak. They had a cancellation and were able to fit me in right away that same day. Problem fixed and at less than half the cost of another shop that quoted me initially. I have never been disappointed in the price of result from this shop in the 30+ years Ive been going to them. John W
I have trusted them with my vehicles for many years. I get great service and fair prices. I never have to take anything back because it is right the first time. Scott gives me sound advise and design options.
These guys are amazing! Over the years they have worked on almost all of my vehicles. From custom emissions compliant CTS-V and diesel exhausts to specialty welding on my wood stove door, these folks always impress me with their quality if work. Wont find a more friendly group of people either.
Best place in town, friendly staff and they always have integrity!! Will use this shop for my Diesel truck and my 4 runner . They know what they are doing, put a roof rack and a bunch of light bars on my 4 runner !! Very professional and got the job done perfect.
Collins Automotive is hands down the best shop Ive been to ALL over the U.S. Lori, Mark, and Scott were awesome! First, I thought I had a loose catalytic converter heat shield causing a very load rattling noise( it was just a rock stuck in the heat shield). During inspection they found I needed to replace the front motor mount. Lori and Mark found the BEST prices for my repairs and even stayed late, after hours to help me out! Honest shop with great people!! Highly recommend!! Thanks again Collins Automotive!!
Had them do a full exhaust on my Bronco and it turned out fantastic! Great looking, solid exhaust work. The work speaks for itself, but what really sets them apart is the knowledge and customer service. They operate the way a business should. Top notch! Highly recommend!
On short notice (2 days) Collins was able to get me in and pass emissions. This after 2 other shops (one the dealer) were unable to diagnose, or were outrageously expensive to take a stab at it. Outstanding service - quick, affordable and solid work!
I had my truck into 4 different dealerships to fix a continuous problem that Mark was skilled enough to figure out. Stans Automotive didnt think they could fix it so they referred me to Mark at Collins Automotive and Metal works for a one stop shop. I had an electrical problem, transmission possibly and a muffler to be fixed. Best experience Ive had with a mechanic! He fixed the transmission by diagnosing and treating the easy and cheaper fix rather than doing a rebuild. Betty is back on the road, sounds great, and runs great!
Highly recommend from classic to new cars. They had very great customer service and great friendly prices for the job being done. I took my Durango to have my exhaust fixed from a previous company who totally messed it up. I left happy and proud of the sound of my suv!!! Diffently will be back.
I loved that Lori gave constant updates on car repairs and had the repairs completed same day! I came in to fix my catalytic converter after failing emissions and Collins was the most cost effective shop in the area. I passed my emissions test and Im back on the road!
Always a great service at a reasonable price.
I have come in twice now to get custom exhaust work or aftermarket exhaust parts installed/welded onto my car and I have been more than happy! Its been a while but everything still looks and is great. Honest work with great people there. Highly recommend!
Amazing group of craftsmen. Great guys to deal with and talk to. Took them a car that another shop didn’t do as asked and these guys were able to work magic and give me exactly what I was asking for. Will for sure use them again in the future when needed.
Fast, friendly, very knowledgeable staff, and I felt that my vehicle was in great hands! I would recommend Collins to anyone who has muffler issues or needs any maintenance done on their vehicle! They do a lot more than work on exhaust systems.They are very good at looking at all the options and I feel like the price was low if not very reasonable! I will be back to have some high mileage maintenance done in the near future!
After moving here 8 years ago it was difficult to find someone I trusted to work on my cars. Through trial and error (and many disappointments in the process) I finally came across Collins 3 years ago. Scott and all his team are the BEST! I wouldnt even think about taking our cars to anyone else. Scott, I sincerely apologize for not having posted a review before now. Thank you for all you do!
Thoughtful, kind, trustworthy, and takes pride in their work. Collin Automotive is everything Id look for in not only a mechanic, but a friend. Theyre a hometown/small town business in the heart of an ever growing Loveland.
Got a 100% custom cat-back system frabricated and installed on my new 2019 Giulia Ti Sport, and Collins Automotive did an incredible job. Gave me a quote and stuck to the quote. Not many honest shops out there anymore and these guys knocked it out of the park. Can’t recommend them enough. If you are looking for any type of work for your vehicle, this should be your first stop.
Collins did a great job on my Audi S4 muffler delete, highly recommend!!
Scott & crew were absolutely the best..They put on an custom exhaust for my 2005 Mustang V6 & it sounds awesome. Would give 10 stars if I was able.. Highly recommend these folks & couldnt be happier!!
I just had my 2000 5.3l Silverado done with the cat back duals and a extreme cherry bomb put on. I said this is how much I have and perfect right on the money and sounds great. Thank you very much my truck sounds like a truck.
Great Job! Brought my auto in thinking it was a muffler replacement and it ended up being a bracket that needed re-welded. Honest!
Awesome, professional and friendly staff
I needed an adjustment to my tail pipe so it didnt melt my plastic box on the cargo rack. They put a small bend to shoot the exhaust out the side of the car instead of directly behind it. It worked perfectly and the charges were quite reasonable. They did great work, were on time and even helped me with my cotter pin that had gotten lost from the rack. These are really good people...I highly recommend them.
Amazing service at a great price and thats coming from a return customer. I highly recommend having any and all your vehicle repairs done here. Thank You!!
Have been here twice so far for my car issues and both times have been met with some of the friendliest staff I have ever experienced at an auto shop! The quickness of the service was the cherry on top! Will definitely visit again for my car needs!
We rely on Collins Automotive for all of our vehicle repairs, both business & personal. They have always been great to work with; fair, trustworthy, and reliable. Its nice to have mechanics who take the time to explain the recommendations and repairs needed. We would recommend them to anyone.
Had the best-quality experience at this automotive shop: Brought my truck in for some tail pipe concerns and was treated with good old-fashioned friendliness, honesty, professionalism, excellent craftsmanship, and all-around, the finest customer service - all rare finds these days. My truck was finished within hours, and everything looks and operates great - excellent value/pricing. Scott, and staff definitely have gained a return customer. I highly recommend this business.
I had an O2 sensor go out on my daughters car. I got there and it was snowing they offered to give me a ride home. They had it fixed in a decent amount of time and the price was good. The people were nice. Cant ask for much more from a business. I would go back.
I’ve had exhaust work done here on several vehicles with one a custom exhaust. Had some work done on my Taurus this time and it was perfect and reasonably priced. Great place to take any vehicle.
Ive always been leery of auto repair shops. But this place is awesome. They are the only place I will use. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
Best service in town!
I was referred to Collins Automotive by an expert in the exhaust business. They did not disappoint! I will drive the fifteen + miles to Collins for future work even though there are many shops in my town that are closer. Friendly, knowledgeable folks.
Gonna take my sons 75 Duster here this week. Give us a good price please
Working with Scott has always been great. Ive been going there for over 20 years and he has always treated me right. Highly recommend their services.
I had a problem getting an aftermarket exhaust tip to fit. It was my first time to go there, but it wont be my last. Everyone was super nice, the finished product was perfect and professionally done. Price was great as well. Thank you all!
Every time I take one of my vehicles into Collins Automotive, I am amazed they even have time to work on it with how busy they are. Scott knows his stuff and is one of the hardest working and respectful small business owners I have observed in quite some time. Very impressive customer service, old school values and honest. Not looking forward to next vehicle problem, but wont be disappointed to go visit Scott again as watching him interact with the barrage of phone calls and walk in clients with multiple questions, motivates me to make my own business better!
Brought my 1978 Nova in for some CATS so I could pass an emissions test. They may take their time, but its only because they care about your vehicle and do an amazing job. It took few tries (ha ha), But SCOTT and DREW (The employees I interacted with) made sure it passed the test. They even took it into the testing site and paid for the final test themselves so I could get my plates
As long as you call first for an appointment you will get incredible fast service, knowledgeable pleasant employees, really nice. The price for the work was well below the going rate locally too. Highly recommend.
I love coming into this shop they take very good care of me and very kind and courteous ! very professional ! I’d recommend anybody to come here they’re always so honest on what needs to be done to your car. Worth coming here to get what needs to be fixed ! Thank you guys for your services and kindness !
Great service and very friendly! Needed very minor help with cutting and welding a motorcycle spark arrestor. They did it on the spot and cheap!! Ill definitely be back for more business! Glad I know your there! Thank you!
HIGHLY recommended! This is a family owned business that makes you feel valued as a customer rather than just more work coming thru the front door. Scott took the time to problem solve with me and I ended up saving well over $150 that was quoted elsewhere. Honest and they take pride in their work.
After repetitive problems with another shop in town I have trusted Scott and his guys to help me with a difficult problem that the other shop constantly blamed my headers on. Scott has been a pleasure to work with and very understanding, his experience and professionalism are greatly appreciated. Thumbs up to this well managed business.
Knowledgeable, Courteous, Caring, Dedicated Ownership and Employees.Expert diagnosticians.Fast, friendly service.Great location.I highly recommend them for your automotive service and repairs.
I took my car in Sunday night it didnt have to be there till Tuesday at 3 come Tuesday my car was done and ready by 12:45 I had some exhaust work done and Im very pleased by the finished product great price great customer service Scott is a good man and gets the job done youll always have mg business
Great customer service! Heather went beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Collins Muffler for their efficiency and service!!
I had a very small welding job that most shops would say no. The folks at Collins completed it earlier than they promised. WOW! A company that delivers on their promises! Thats a rare find in todays business.
Traveling from Portland, OR and realized my exhaust bracket was cracked. Went in on recommendation and these guys helped me out. They welded it back together for free for me. They couldve charged me but it only took a minute. Thats customer service at its best right there. If you need any work done make sure you go here. Thanks again guys. Matt
One of the best businesses in Loveland. Kind, curtious and took care of me at a much lower price than expected! As a business owner this is the service other companies should model themselves by!
My blazer broke down on a hot Friday afternoon. Had it towed to another repair shop. They couldnt find anything wrong with the vehicle. I drove it a mile from their shop and it broke down again. Had it towed to Collins Automotive. They were able to identify the problem which was probably do to work done at the previous shop. I am a customer for the life of all of my vehicles.
Collins Muffler in Loveland is our go to place for the best service, great advice, and reasonable price. Weve been going here for 20 years for all our exhaust needs.From our Jeep to our motorhome and all the trucks in-between. They carry the aero-turbine muffler which is the only muffler for a diesel engine.
Scott was helpful and polite. A hundred and fifty bucks and Ive got a quiet ride again. Thanks for the help, guys.
The guys were nice and knowledgeable, but they were extremely overpriced. Quoted me $500 for some exhaust work. I took it somewhere else and got the same thing for $250 and it was quality work too.
Top notch customer service !! Friendly and quick service. Had work done on my 76 VW van, 85 saab 900 & 03 Toyota Tundra . 100% happy
I had my exhaust fixed, great experience they even advised on some other work that needed done. Would go back.
I have a 2010 Rav4 and Scott did an induction flush a few weeks ago. My gas mileage in the past had been 18 mpg in town, and 22 hwy, now my mileage is 20 mpg in town and 25 mpg highway. Thanks Scott!!!
Great customer service!! Thank you!!
ALWAYS professional, quick and the best prices! Always!!! Highly recommend to all.
Glad I found you. Great service, price and speed of repairs. Thank you.
Spot on customer service, squeezed me into the schedule when I needed it and Scott was super friendlyThanks guys
I highly recommend Collins Automotive for any mechanical or exhaust needs. The customer service was excellent. I am new to Loveland and my neighbor recommended them saying they have been in Loveland for years and wont sell you anything you dont need. After my experience today they have definatlely gained my business. It is great to have a mechanic you can trust!
They did an excellent job on my truck! I would recommend to anyone!
Scott and Every single person in that place go above and beyond to help you as a customer. I would recommend anyone and everyone to come here if they need the job done right and for a good price!!!
Great work had it done in no time
Great experience, Id recommend Collins to anyone.
Top notch work and such a pleasure to work with!
Lazy mechanics, overpriced, and bad work. Stay away!
0 stars if I could. This places pricing is way off. Call around and beware. Oh and heather was extremely rude!!
