Historic Homes of Denver: Changes in Attitudes-Changes in Altitudes - The Worst Automotive Shop in Denver!

Attention all women (and men) in Denver!  Beware of Weavers Automotive, located at 2945 East Evans Avenue in Denver.

I stopped into Weavers Automotive recently because they are a U-Haul location in southeast Denver.  I went specifically because I wanted to have my SUV checked to make sure that I could tow a trailer.  The guy at Weavers Automotive who claimed to be one of the owners looked under my truck and told me that I didn't have a tow package.  He then told me that Weavers Automotive could install one for me for between $250 - $300. 

Ok, Fine.

Before I actually had Weavers Automotive do the work, I took my SUV to the Brakes Plus location on Leetsdale for a radiatorTow Hitch Parts flush. Since I was there, I asked them for a competitive quote on installing a tow package as well. 

WELL, the good people at Brakes Plus called me back to tell me that I already had a FACTORY INSTALLED tow package on my SUV. 

When I went in to pick up my truck, they showed me exactly where the tow hitch was (it was behind a panel on the back).

Imagine MY surprise since the owner of Weavers Automotive told me that I didn't have one! 

Yesterday I stopped by Home Depot and picked up the ball and hitch and I am set to go...for under $50!

So that makes the owner at Weavers Automotive either a liar/crook OR flat out stupid! Either way, I would advise everyone to steer clear of this place! 

Oh, and I am renting a U-Haul trailer this weekend, but NOT from Weavers Automotive, so they lost that business as well.

I detest people that try to take advantange of unknowing people, and that is exactly what the guy at Weavers Automotive tryed to do.  Beware Denver!

Hi Kerry ~ I hate when businesses try and take advantage of anyone.  I think the car repairs have the worst reputaion for that since we usually have no idea. and we just want to get it fixed.  Good for you for getting a second opinion.  I'm usually too lazy!

Karin, the scond opinion was really just a fluke!  But yes, it really torks me when service people take advantage of the public.

Kerry, we always need to have good automotive referrals, as they do have a bad rap with being trust worthy!    I now have a client working/part owner at an automotive shop, and feel VERY comfortable now.     If you have a Toyota, they work specifically on any Toyota or Lexus.
