Soneff's undertook a very extensive recommissioning and service of my 1967 Ford F100 pick-up truck - they did a great job. Everything was checked through and it enabled my wife and I to take a 3500 mile road trip through Colorado, Wyoming and Montana in 3 weeks with not one problem. Thank you Jay Soneff and team.Service: General repairs & maintenance
Figuring out vintage cars is complicated. And it can get messy quickly. This group did a masterful job with my vintage truck. Very pleased.
All I can say is WOW! Be ready, this is going to be a long review! There are so many positives dealing with everyone at Soneff's Master Garage! Being from Canada, we were in the market for a very specific 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. One night, I had been browsing around online seeing what was available. We had just missed one by a few days and we were a little disappointed. As I was getting ready to pack up, an ad popped up on the corner of my screen with a picture of the EXACT car we were looking for. I was hesitant to click on the link thinking it may be a virus, but ended up checking it out. The website seemed honest, so I saved the page. The following day, I called the shop. I was greeted by a rep named Taylor who did some digging in order to make sure the vehicle was still in stock. Although at the time we had not committed to the purchase, she was very helpful nonetheless. She put us in touch with Jay, owner of the garage. When I got in touch with him he is a very busy man, Jay gave me a complete run down of the vehicle from top to bottom; he was no BS'er, Jay knows his stuff. What made the vehicle special in our opinion was how it had been his driver and he really cared for it. Over the next couple of months, we went back and forth by email. Again, at that point, there was no word whether we had committed or not, but he still gave his undivided attention to us. It was around the two month mark when my dad and I seriously spoke about it that we felt if we were going to purchase a vehicle, this was the one. We decided to fly to Denver from Canada and see the vehicle in person. Jay was accommodating in arranging transport from the airport to the garage. In the meantime, an inspection was ordered on the Dart with a third party inspector. For the most part, the inspection came back good with very little issues. I want to add in that the inspector was happy with the way Jay had the vehicle ready upon his arrival. It made his inspection time shorter without any hiccups. Any notes that came up, Jay was willing to do a quality repair on upon our request. When we arrived in Denver, Jay was very welcoming, first giving us the full tour of the garage as well as his vehicle inventory. That was a very cool bonus! We chatted with his crew for quite a while; they are all so friendly and willing to answer question due to our limited knowledge of vehicles. They all really make you feel at home! His garage is beautiful by the way : I love the old architecture of the downtown buildings and Jay has a prime one. Afterwards, we took the Dart for a test drive which is a thrill you just can't describe. We were pleased that Jay trusted us to drive the vehicle without signing any papers, that is what really sealed the deal. Back at the office, we met Debbie and Taylor in person. Debbie was super kind, being patient as we went through all the paperwork and they explained everything honestly. We could tell that they were not trying to sell us a dud of any kind. When a payment issue arose due to international banking, they were more than willing to let us just pay a small deposit until we could return to Canada and sort the finances out. All in all, we left Denver very happy with our decision! Fast forwarding to now, I have been in touch quite frequently with Debbie getting advice on shipping and filling out forms to the point where I feel bad HAHA! She is always willing to help & is very quick and thorough getting me any information I require. It has been a big stress taken off knowing that if I have any questions in regards to anything, she is only a call or email away. It has and will continue to be an absolute joy working with her making our dream a reality! We are so excited to finally be at this point and we could not have done it as seamless as it was without their knowledge of the system! You can guarantee that we will be back in future to add to our dream, no hesitations whatsoever! It isn't just about a car, it's the relationships you make along the way that last a lifetime! Many thanks again, Nathan and Jeff Baron
Terrible customer service. I called 3 times over 2 days just to try and make an appointment. I was told Dave would call me right back. Never got the call back. If I get treated this way this way for something as simple as trying to make an appointment, I sure am glad I didn't leave my car here. Here's a pointer... If you are too busy, simply say "we cant take appointments right now" Edit: Similar to my phone call the review response is 4 month later. The phone call resolved that you DO NOT service Audi when you clearly advertise that you do. I would suggest you don't waste peoples time.
Saw the ad for a survivor 1967 GTX and emailed plus called on the weekend. I received a call back within several hours and spoke with Jay. After hearing more about the car and seeing photos plus video i decided to purchase the car. The entire experience has been great and Jay has been very helpful with the details about the car plus getting it prepared for my father and I to drive back to Wisconsin. Great information, great communication
Where do I start with these guys!! I purchased a 1974 International Scout from a vintage auto place in Denver but live in Kentucky. Soneff's was recommended to me for an inspection of the vehicle and repairs. Jay went out and looked at it and then rushed it to his garage as I was flying out to drive it before shipping it home to KY. Once is was back at Soneff's is were the best experience I have ever had with a Garage started!! Dave was the head mechanic that took over, he took the time to advise me the things that needed done, the things that could be fixed later and always stayed in contact with me about the costs every step of the way. I only gave them about 4 days to complete the work and they understood the time crunch due to airline flights that I was under. I was so impressed with the work done that I left the Scout for some additional work before it being shipped back to me!! So, if you are looking for the job to be done right on your classic investment and want the piece of mind that everything would be done to your satisfaction, then there is no other place to go in the Denver area. These guys are now considered family to me and I will use them again. Dave and Jay you are the best in town!!!! THANK YOUServices: Oil change
Jay took the time to show me a car he's got listed for sale, let me crawl around all over it, gave me the backstory, and also showed me around the shop. He's honest, funny, and very knowledgeable. If he has a car that you want to buy, you can rest assured he'll tell it to you straight. Shop looks great, they specialize in older vehicles, and I'd trust them completely to do restoration work. And - if you live in the neighborhood and need some help with something - I'm sure they'd do a good job. Just understand it's not just a regular repair shop - the place works on really valuable classic cars on a regular basis.
