Services
Brake Repairs
Our NAPA-certified technicians perform comprehensive brake inspections and repairs using quality OE parts. We address accelerated wear from Colorado's climate and mountain driving. Complimentary brake inspections with any repair ensure safety while maintaining your vehicle's performance standards.
Steering/Suspension
We diagnose and repair steering and suspension systems to maintain control and safety. Our ASE-certified team inspects shocks, alignment, and power steering components. Annual inspections prevent costly failures from uneven tire wear or handling issues.
Computer Diagnostics
Using advanced scan tools, we identify check engine light causes through NAPA-certified diagnostic procedures. Our technicians interpret onboard computer data to resolve complex electrical and emissions issues while explaining repairs in plain language.
Transmission Repair
We repair automatic, semi-automatic, and manual transmissions with a focus on durability. Our specialists rebuild or replace damaged systems while offering 24-month/24,000-mile warranty coverage on all transmission work performed.
Towing Service
Partnering with Big Toe Towing and APT Towing, we provide emergency roadside assistance for breakdowns. Customers receive priority scheduling for towed vehicles while coordinating insurance-covered towing arrangements when possible.
