I went there on Veterans Day to get an oil change, and the staff were incredibly nice. They were giving free oil changes to veterans! To choose to work and not ask for money for the services they provided to give back to veterans is amazing. The service they provided for my vehicle was great as well! I will definitely be going there from now on!

Thank you for supporting Veterans! Today's free oil change has earned my business throughout the rest if the year! Nice call on the couches in the waiting area!

I came to McCormick for a 2nd opinion following an expensive and disconcerting experience with another Fort Collins repair shop. Despite stellar reviews for McCormick Auto, I was unsure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised at the honest, detailed assessment; the prompt and respectful communication; and the speedy repairs. I had been looking for the auto mechanic member for my retirement team, and I think I may have finally found it! Thank you, Kaylee, and Team McCormick. You gave me a wonderful, very early Christmas present by being trustworthy and thorough in your work. I hope you'll be taking care of my 2005 Rav4 for many years to come!

Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of McCormick's. Justin was super nice and they were very honest about what needed to be done on my Expedition, but their prices stink to high heaven. I would not have told you to do the differential fluid if you didn't verbally quote it as being about one third of what it ended up costing my Grandpa, who graciously paid for my repairs. Sure, you give a 5-year warranty/60k miles on your repairs, but on something like that I won't be able to pull up in 2029 and get you to give me fresh fluid. Maybe on the blinker rewiring job it could come in handy, but with something like that, I hope it was done right the first time and I don't even have to think about it for 120k miles like it lasted originally. Could I see recommending them? Maybe for specific repairs for notoriously faulty and expensive cars, but otherwise there are many other places to take your car before McCormick Auto.
