What our Customers Are Saying

  • These guys are the best! We got a replacement part for our bike rack from them that we couldn't get anywhere else. We bought our rack from them a couple years ago as well! They hooked it up both times.

    Joe B.

  • Cracks & Racks completed a very difficult installation of an OEM Range Rover Sport luggage / dog barrier. The instructions from Land Rover were horrible, forcing the team to essentially design the installation. They worked with me whenever a question came up, and in the end did a superb job as you can see. Even though the process was much more labor intensive than we thought, they honored their original estimate. I really trust these guys. They do a great deal of work on luxury vehicles in the Aspen area, and rise to the challenge. Great outfit.

    D. Grant

  • These guys are amazing!!!! Extremely responsive, same day service (got lucky, would recommend scheduling install), killer selection of racks and friendly people. Cannot possibly recommend this company more highly.

  • Do yourselves a favor and just get your windshield replaced here… Courteous, excellent customer service, great repair!!! Save yourself the trouble of the down Valley shops not worth the time and effort!!! I’m glad my Uncle recommended this place, they are totally top notch! These are True masters of the Windshield replacement craft!

    Clayton D.

  • Really helpful and kind! Their service team member quickly assisted me with a lost hitch rack key and provided some recommendations and resources. I really appreciated that they weren't just out to make a buck but are true experts and trusted community members. They do business the right way at Cracks & Racks.

    Leah F.

  • Amazing and fast service, friendly and professional staff. If you need your glass repaired in the valley come here👍👍

    Harrison T.

  • Unfortunately, we just had to replace a windscreen on one of our cars for the third time in two years. Cracks & Racks always took care of this, quick, efficient and professionally. Super friendly people, very responsive and great service.

    Daniel A.

  • I was so impressed with the level of communication that Scott exemplified. I love a business that works like this. He was so quick to respond to my questions via text and even got me an earlier appointment. My bike rack was installed very quickly and Scott took the time to explain everything about its operation. This is a great place to get a top of the line bike rack for sure!
