Ford Truck Repair in Denver

Today we're working on a 2005 Ford F250 with the 5.4 engine. We're replacing the cam sensors and the famous spark plugs. This truck has 166K on it with the original spark plugs! Here is one of the broken spark plugs and the tip of the spark plug that stayed in the engine still on the extraction tool. When removing these plugs, they often break leaving part of the plug inside the cylinder head. Then, a special extraction tool is needed to remove the broken off piece.

Ford Repair in Denver

Our 2005 Expedition is up and running dependably again - FINALLY!!!

Have you ever heard from a mechanic that your car’s problem will have to get worse to be diagnosed? You may have thought that the mechanic was lying to you. You may have even thought that the mechanic was just not very good. We tell people this all the time and often they get mad at us or even doubt our skills.

The truth of the matter is that cars with intermittent problems are the hardest to diagnose - period. Recently, we encountered a car with an extremely intermittent problem that was very hard to diagnose. That car just happens to be our own 2005 Ford Expedition with the 5.4L V8 engine.

At first, our Expedition would randomly not start on the first try, but only on cold mornings. It would always start on the second or third try, but we never knew when it would act up. Any day the temperature was over 35˚ the car would start dependably! Every time we were able to get it to act up, it would run perfect as soon as we hooked it up to test equipment. The Expedition would start and run perfect for up to a week, then just not start on the first try when you least expect it to.

Every time we tested the car’s computer system it passed with flying colors! There were no diagnostic codes to work with. We basically had no idea where to start looking for a problem that only happened once in a while. This is when we knew we would have to drive the car until one day it just wouldn’t start at all or the malfunction was at least reproducible.

After about 3 weeks of driving the car and never knowing when it would leave us stranded, it finally totally quit running! Luckily, it decided to no longer run in our driveway, so we had it towed to our shop. With the Expedition no longer running at all, it only took about 30 minutes to determine the cause.

A Simple Fix

This entire nerve racking time of never knowing if it would just die out any second was caused by a simple little relay. Sometimes the relay worked and sometimes it would not. Unfortunately, this one little relay is built into an expensive central junction box. The central junction box is basically the fuse box for the entire car! In the central junction box there are a multitude of relays and fuses, most relays are replaceable, the fuel pump relay is not. The fuel pump relay that was causing our problem had no visual signs of failure, and tested good every single time we checked it! Now after many weeks of frustration, a $400 fuse box fixed the problem and we have our beloved Expedition back on the road again! Most importantly, I have a happy wife again!

At Mastermind Enterprises Auto Care, we understand why you get frustrated when your car is broken down. We are not exempt from frustrating car repairs, either. Please understand when your car is having a frustrating problem, it is not always the mechanic's fault if it cannot be diagnosed.

Be kind to the mechanic. The mechanic is only there to help you get your car back on the road. Honesty is guaranteed at our shop! We do our best to get you back on the road as quickly as possible! If you are in Denver and need auto repair, call us today at 303-297-2886 or email us!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"My experience with Mastermind Enterprises has been fantastic! I have had my car serviced at this location on two separate occasions and each time I have received service that has exceeded all expectations. My most recent experience dealt with unknown knocking noise coming from the left front tire. Upon dropping off the vehicle, I anticipated the repairs to be extensive and costly. To my surprise the issue turned out to be minor and it was corrected quickly with little expense. If you are searching for honest straight forward diagnosis regarding your vehicle's repair needs, I highly recommend taking your inquires and business to Mastermind Enterprises." - Ali

Jeep Auto Repair in Denver

The job of the day at Mastermind Enterprises Auto Care in Denver is a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a water pump failure at only 39,309 miles!

We have never seen a vehicle's water pump fail at such a low mileage! This vehicle went into limp in mode with multiple warning lights going off and engine noise. Luckily for our customer, the water pump is covered under Jeep's Powertrain Warranty. So, this Jeep is headed to the dealer for this repair at no cost to our customer. We also helped our customer get a rental car, set up a tow, and set up her repair appointment.

Don't ignore lights on your dash or warning notices!

"Mastermind Enterprises saved me over $700 dollars!! I got a quote from one company who couldn't get my car done until next week so I called other places and came across these guys. They not only were able to diagnose the problem the day I called but had my car fixed, running and ready for me to pick up all before they closed that evening. They also have a great towing company that has very affordable flat rates.

The customer service was awesome and they were very knowledgeable; showed me exactly what was wrong and explained what happened in a way that I, a non-car/mechanical person at all, was able to understand. I would highly recommend Mastermind to all of my friends!"

In Everything, Give Thanks

We have decided to make Mondays even better by making them "Mastermind Mondays" at our family auto repair shop in Denver. What does that mean? Well, let us start from the very beginning.

We changed our business name in 2008 because we changed from a mobile auto repair service to a full service auto repair shop in Denver. We chose Mastermind Enterprises for our business name for many different, amazing reasons. The most important of these reasons being that God is the Mastermind of our universe and Norm has been given a remarkable gift from God - he is a mastermind with cars. Enterprises simply means company. Essentially, we are God's company blessed with talent for serving others by taking care of their auto repair service needs in Denver.

We have heard amazing compliments from, "You made me so happy that I cried." to "You are the best mechanic I ever had” to “it's like driving a new car." It's a blessing to use our talents to honor God. We realize that we have more to share with others than just an auto repair service. We have the love of God to share with everyone who comes to our family business.

Recently, we put up something new on the walls in our office. It says, "In everything, give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18" It is a great reminder to us at our shop everyday - for the difficult days and for the easy days.
God is ALWAYS with us. 

It's easy for us to give thanks when everything is going our way, our family is healthy and happy, our car is running smoothly, we have a job, and life is going according to plan. We can give thanks for good things like these most days. But giving thanks for things when life gets rough? This doesn't always come so easy. We get so distracted by trying to figure out the problems ourselves that we forget to turn to the one who can help us figure it out the best way.

Do you give thanks for pain, disappointments, losing a loved one unexpectedly, a check engine light coming on, the car not shifting smoothly, worrying about enough money to make ends meet? In moments like these, we can be thankful we are still alive to feel the pain and disappointments, that we have a car to have problems with, and a great mechanic to help us take care of those pesky car problems! We may not always get the answers we want to hear, but God knows. He knows everything and will work all things for good when we trust in Him and give Him thanks.

Be joyful always; pray continually;

give thanks in all circumstances, 

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

It may even feel at times that you have nothing to feel thankful for. How do you give thanks in everything? For everything? Give yourself time to feel thankful. A great healer of all wounds is time. It may be painful now, but joy will come again. You may not be able to even think about it now, but if you experience your feelings today, not judging yourself for being less thankful than you should be, then you will be able to see God's Hand in everything in your life. This will start to change how you feel. We've been there, too. One day you will discover yourself giving thanks for the same things that were the most difficult experiences of your life. This is a mystery that only God can speak to you directly about in your heart. What you resist today, you welcome back to you tomorrow.

With Thanksgiving upon us, we instinctively give thanks for everything out of habit. But we don't have to. We can give thanks because we WANT to or not give thanks because we don't want to. God knows our hearts. He knows where we are at with the mountains and valleys we are experiencing in our lives. Knowing God loves us through it all is enough to make you feel just a little more thankful. Isn't it? Think of it as the first step to feeling thankful for everything.

We can do this by praying continually and being joyful always. We can always rejoice because we know what is true about God and His plan for our lives, so we can be thankful in all circumstances. When we know God is working all things for good, we can be joyful, no matter what our situation is. We can pray about His merciful and gracious plans in our daily lives for our spiritual and physical needs. We can give thanks in everything that comes along in our life, even if it's something that we aren't happy about or is unpleasant.

It's not always easy for us to be thankful when running our auto repair shop. Some days it seems like everything is going "wrong" - we get the wrong parts and have to re-order them over AND over again, we have a misunderstanding with a customer or we can't help someone because the part is unavailable. Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and helps us to spread God's grace in a generous way. We have gotten wrong parts because we were able to find a better option for our customer with just one more phone call to the last possible vendor that could possibly carry the specific part that we need. Our customer gets to know their car better because we have to take a little more time to explain things to help them understand what is going on with their car and what needs to be fixed and why. When you have problems that cause you worry, like that pesky check engine light that you don't have time to take care of until next week, just start praying about it, and be thankful. God will work it all out.

We operate our family auto repair shop with thankfulness for our customers. One of the ways we do this is by giving 1 hour of free diagnosis to our customers when they fix their car at our auto repair shop. This is our way of saying "Thank you for doing business with us!" We are thankful for each of customers because without them, we wouldn't be here.

We are blessed to serve others and help you be safe on the road. We are thankful for our vendors who serve us by bringing us the parts we need to take care of our customers. We are thankful for the kindheartedness of people towards our children when they visit our shop. Thank you for letting our family serve your family's auto repair service needs in Denver!

We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving 

surrounded by your family and friends! 

Blessings from our family to yours!

Save on Saturn Repair in Denver

"We took our 2007 Saturn Outlook to Norm at Mastermind to have the rear differential replaced. The work was finished on time as promised and at the priced we discussed. So glad to find a shop that keeps their promise and does not sneak in extra charges when it's time to pay. We have been back to have an engine light condition checked. Norm & Heidi worked together to diagnose & order the part needed and get us back on the road.

Good place, will return if we have another problem."
