Few things make Coloradans sleep soundly at night like knowing a skilled, trustworthy local auto mechanic. From Montrose to Grand Junction, many of us rely on reviews before handing over the keys.

We recently asked you to share an auto mechanic in Western Colorado whom you trust with your vehicle. We featured 25 of your recommendations in the gallery below, along with where to find each auto shop/mechanic. If the shop has a website, we've linked you to it.
