GM Tune-ups near West Vail, CO

Let me start off by say I have a Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering and I just so happen to specialize in internal combustion engines... With that being said, I bought a non running vehicle, (blown head gasket) knowing full well the risk I was taking, normally I would have worked on it myself, but i live in an apartment in the valley and the parking lot is just not conducive for that kind of major rebuild. I called up and down the valley looking for a competent shop to work on it. Most said they would only put a new engine in it vs just fixing the head gasket. And the 2 other shops that said they would work on it, didn't ask some very important technical questions, or add new head studs to the quote, which I can only assume means they wouldn't replace them, big no no on this engine. When I called ascent Joshua immediately spoke to Chris and got back to me with quote within a half an hour, including the head studs. I had the vehicle towed to them and when I got there (at 630pm) Chris was still there working on a customer's vehicle, Chris came out and chatted with me for about all kinds of technical engine specs on a variety of engines. I was more than impressed, all too many mechanics just replace parts, and don't learn the engine theory, there's a big difference between knowing how and knowing why, Chris knows why.. they pulled the head off and it was the worst case scenario for my engine, called me immediately and I went to take a look. They let me keep it there for way longer than any shop would be expected to, while I figured out that I was going to do with it. After I finally decided, Joshua charged me less than orginally quoted and offered to help me tow it to my house, so I didn't have to use a AAA tow. Unbelievably great shop, would recommend in a heart beat to anyone looking.
