Automotive News & Information - JH Mountain Auto Services

On 9/21/20 I had a flat tire and needed tire repair. Due to scheduled volume at tire shops (Utopia, Big O, and Ski Country in Frisco, CO), each of them was unable to help me. Then, I went to JH Mountain Auto Services. Kodie greeted me, understood my concern, made a recommendation for service, and had the shop respond and repair in less than 30 minutes. And, then I was back on the road. I am grateful.

The evaluation was done and the estimate was finished and I was knowledgeable of the future possibilities for the future. You have to stay aware of what situation your car is in. I had to be aware of all the steps, not only with the company but with myself. They stay open until 5:30 and never hassled me when getting things in order.

This business is top-notch all the way. I don't write these types of reviews much but in this case, I am happy to do so. I dealt with Shafi and Codie upfront in the reception area. They are extremely informed, patient, friendly, and professional. Everyone I have met at J&H leaves me with a great feeling that they are looking out for me. Work completed over various visits over the years quickly and with no problems. I would highly recommend this Auto Services shop! Thanks, J&H!

With our camper loaded to the gills, we noticed the dreaded “check engine” light while we were climbing up the pass. We pulled into JH Mountian Auto & within a short amount of time the issue was diagnosed! Even though the repair took a while they kept us abreast of the progress of the technician!

Up for the weekend to go to Breckenridge and the brakes went bad. No one else in town was taking new customers. Called Friday around 4 and got an appointment for Saturday at 1 pm and gave me a quote. They took in the truck, had the parts ordered and ready, and was done in about 1 1/2 hours. Shafi was awesome and got us taken care of so we could enjoy the rest of our birthday weekend. Not how we wanted to spend it, but they were very quick and professional. The only place I recommend if anything happens while you're up in the area!! Thank you guys so much!! Very impressed with your dedication and service to customers.

1st, thank you guys very much. 2nd, this is a business worthy of their reviews. We were going to the western slope our SUV broke down in the afternoon in Breckenridge the crew a JH stayed open until we arrived well after closing time. We had to continue our trip and asked them if they could have it ready by Monday morning so that we could pick it up on our way home. Instead of making us wait they came in on Sunday their day off and knocked it out. What a wonderful bunch of people. Thank you again guys you have a customer for life any time I am in the hills with a broken down car.

Your car data owned by manufacturers now

Newer Vehicles Generate as Much As 25GB of Data/Hour according to McKinsey. Now That is Extremely Interesting! It is also daunting as we now need to know "what data" right? You also want to know where it is going if anywhere and who owns the data? All interesting questions that we never thought about. Just get in and drive, choose a destination and if a light goes off in the dash you call us here at JH Mountain Auto Services to schedule an appointment. We want our Silverthorne drivers to be informed as always and able to make their choices based on having facts. This is a big change in the automotive-truck service industry and it really has not hit the news at all, so it is up to us to get you up-to-date and informed. Here are the facts and where you can find more information!

There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV, or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop, you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!

It is a law that independent automotive repair shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicle's warranty or a vehicle's extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.

Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads, and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

One of the major perks of bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.

Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.

Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV, or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!

TRUE OR FALSE? Until your vehicle is out-of-warranty, it must be serviced by the new car dealer or the factory warranty will be void?
FALSE? Our ASE Certified technicians at JH Mountain Auto Services CAN SERVICE your vehicle if it is under warranty with the same tools typically faster and at a better price point plus we are cross-trained in multiple lines of vehicles vs. just the brand at the dealership you bought your car or truck giving you more options!

It’s the law that independent repair shops can provide the services to maintain your new car warranty. Consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the vehicle warranty because service was done by a non-dealer.
