From EvansTake US-85 south from 37th Street, cross the South Platte bridge and turn into La Salle. About five minutes for most of Evans.
From the 37th Street light to our front lot is a short, easy drive. That matters when the car is making a noise you do not trust, or when somebody has to follow you over to pick you up.
Being this close also means Evans customers can drop off on the way to work in Greeley and grab the car on the way home without adding much to the day.
Lots of households in Evans share one car, so every day it sits in a shop is a day of borrowed rides. We know that. Quality work in a timely manner is the thing we care about most.
We will tell you up front how long a job should take, call when it is done, and keep you posted if a part is slow to show up.
A dash light with no explanation is stressful. Our vehicle diagnostics go past the code reader. We test the sensor, wiring or system the code points to, then tell you what failed and why.
You leave with an answer, a price and a straight opinion on whether it needs fixing today.
Between the rail crossings near 85 and the washboard county roads east of town, Evans suspensions take a beating. Clunks over bumps, a wandering steering wheel and uneven tire wear are the usual signs.
We inspect ball joints, tie rods, struts and bushings and handle the fix as part of our auto repair services.
The first single-digit morning of the year finds every weak battery in Weld County. A quick test in the fall tells you whether yours has another winter in it.
We test the battery, alternator and cables during regular vehicle maintenance, and replace only what is actually failing.
Evans has a lot of working vehicles: contractor pickups, service vans, trucks running back and forth to Greeley all day. Downtime costs money.
Our fleet maintenance program keeps your units on a schedule, with weekday service and a shop that is minutes from your yard.
Got a quote somewhere else that made your stomach drop? Bring it in. We will look at the car ourselves and tell you whether we agree.
Sometimes the first shop was right. Sometimes a second diagnostic look finds a smaller, cheaper problem. Either way, you get the truth.
Plenty of cars in Evans have well over 150,000 miles and plenty of life left. They tend to need exhaust hangers, sensors, wiring and lights more than anything dramatic.
We keep high-mileage cars running with honest exhaust and electrical repairs and tell you when a fix is no longer worth the money.
Most breakdowns give warnings first: a slow leak, a soft brake pedal, an overdue fluid. Catch them early and auto repair in Evans stays small and cheap.
We will build a simple preventive maintenance schedule around your mileage and remind you what is coming due.
From Riverside Park to the newer neighborhoods west of 35th Avenue, every part of Evans is a few minutes from the shop.
