  • Repairs coveredEvery repair is backed by a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty.

The Kind of Repair Shop You Can Relax Around

Handing over your keys should not feel like a gamble. These are the reasons drivers in the Dumont area keep coming back once they have tried us, and why many of them now bring every vehicle in the household to the same place.

Master-level skill on the job

Your vehicle is in the hands of an ASE Master Certified technician with more than a decade at that level, which matters most on the intermittent electrical faults and drivability problems that defeat quicker shops.

A number you can plan around

After we look the vehicle over, we explain what we found and what it will cost, and nothing proceeds until you agree. If something new turns up during the job, we pause and call you first.

Coverage that lasts

Repairs carry a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty, and a replacement engine or transmission carries a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty, so a major repair keeps protecting you long after the invoice is paid.

Honest repair-or-replace advice

When an engine or transmission is in trouble, you get both paths explained side by side, with prices, so you can choose what suits the vehicle and your budget rather than what suits the shop.

How a Visit Unfolds

We keep you informed at every stage, so there is never a moment when you are wondering what is happening to your vehicle. Here is what a typical visit looks like from the first phone call to the moment you drive away.

  1. A conversation first

    Call and tell us what you have noticed. We ask a few questions, suggest a time and let you know roughly what to expect.

  2. Your free inspection

    When the vehicle arrives, it gets a free inspection focused on your concern, along with a look at anything else that seems worth mentioning.

  3. Findings and a firm price

    We walk you through what we found in everyday language, then quote the repair. You decide whether, when and how much to do.

  4. The repair itself

    Approved work is carried out carefully, and if anything unexpected appears, we stop and check with you before going on.

  5. Handover

    Before you collect the vehicle, the repair is checked against your original complaint, and we explain what was done and what to watch for.

Answers Before You Book

A few of the questions we hear most often, answered as plainly as we can. If yours is not here, just ask when you call.

How can I tell my brakes need replacing?

Listen for a high squeal when you stop, which is the wear indicator on many pads, or a harsh grinding that means the pad is gone. A pedal that sinks, a pull to one side or a shudder through the wheel also call for a check, and the free inspection will tell you how much life is left.

A warning light just came on. What should I do?

It means the engine computer stored a fault code, which could point to anything from a loose fuel cap to a misfire. We read the code and then test the system it points to, so you learn the actual cause rather than a guess. If the light is flashing, please limit driving and call us.

What are the early signs of transmission trouble?

Delayed engagement when you shift into drive, slipping or flaring between gears, harsh shifts, a whine that changes with speed, or a burnt smell from the fluid. Catching these early often keeps the repair to a fluid service or a sensor.

Is it better to rebuild or replace a transmission?

It depends on what failed inside, the age and mileage of the vehicle and how long you plan to keep it. A rebuild keeps your original unit; a replacement unit can be quicker and carries its own coverage. We price both so you can compare like with like.

Do you work on every make and model?

Yes, gasoline and diesel vehicles of all makes and models, from compact cars and SUVs to diesel pickups.

How often should I change my oil?

Follow the interval in your owner's manual, and use the severe-service schedule if you tow, make lots of short trips or drive steep grades often. Many modern engines run 5,000 to 10,000 miles between changes on synthetic oil; your oil-life monitor and our records will keep you on track.

Why does my vehicle pull to one side?

Common causes include a sticking brake caliper, worn steering or suspension parts, uneven tire pressure or a tire problem. We check the brakes, steering and suspension first, because those are the causes that affect safety.

What warranty comes with your repairs?

Repairs we carry out are warrantied for 12 months, 12,000 miles. A replacement engine or transmission that we install is warrantied for 3 years, 36,000 miles.

Serving Dumont and the Towns Around It

Drivers come to us from all along the I-70 corridor and over the hill from Gilpin County. Wherever you start, the free inspection and the upfront price work the same way. Mountain miles are hard on brakes, cooling systems and transmissions, so those are always on our list when a vehicle comes in, even if you called about something else.

Close to your route

The shop sits right on the corridor most of our customers drive every day, so dropping off on the way to work is easy.

Visits planned in advance

When you book ahead, we prepare for your vehicle, which keeps the visit efficient and the waiting short.
