Family-owned shop in La Salle, serving Loveland
One road connects Loveland to our shop: US-34, straight east. At the other end is a small family-owned crew that tells you the truth about your car.
Kill Switch Automotive
107 N 1st Street, La Salle, CO 80645
Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM
From LovelandTake US-34 east past Centerra and Johnstown into Greeley, then US-85 south to La Salle. Roughly 35 to 40 minutes.
No interstate needed. US-34 runs from Loveland right into Greeley, and from there it is a few minutes south on 85. If you work anywhere along that corridor, you are already halfway to us.
Drop off in the morning, pick up after work. We are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
A summer drive up the Big Thompson toward Estes Park is the fastest way to find out your cooling system is tired. Temperature gauge creeping up, a sweet smell, a drip under the car after you park.
We pressure test the system, find the leak or the failed part, and fix radiators, hoses, water pumps and thermostats as part of our auto repair work.
That amber light is your car asking for attention. It might be a loose gas cap. It might be a misfire that will damage the catalytic converter if you ignore it.
Our check engine light diagnostics tell you which one it is and what it costs to fix, before you spend anything on parts.
Loveland sits at the mouth of the mountains, so plenty of local cars see steep grades every month. That means brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid and tires deserve a closer look than the average city car gets.
Bring it in for preventive car maintenance before a big trip and we will check the things a mountain drive punishes.
Construction zones on US-34 and potholes after every freeze leave their mark. Clunking over bumps, a steering wheel that is off center or tires wearing on one edge all point to worn suspension parts.
We inspect struts, shocks, tie rods and ball joints and handle the fix with our steering and suspension repair.
Loveland businesses with trucks working Weld County jobs can service them where the work is. Fewer empty miles, less downtime.
We run fleet vehicle service on a weekday schedule, with one small crew that knows your units.
We find the problem first, then price it. You get the number before we pick up a wrench, and nothing gets added without a phone call.
That starts with a proper vehicle inspection and diagnosis, not a guess from a code reader.
Cold mornings in Loveland are hard on batteries and fuel systems alike. Hard starts, rough idle and hesitation often trace back to one or the other.
We test batteries and clean or service fuel systems during routine auto maintenance, so winter does not leave you stranded in a parking lot.
Auto repair in Loveland does not have to mean the nearest shop. Some of our customers moved here and never found a mechanic they trusted. Others got a quote that felt wrong and wanted a second opinion.
What brings them out is simple: a small shop that explains the work, charges fairly and stands behind the job. Auto repair in Loveland can feel like that too, even if it takes a drive down 34.
From Lake Loveland to the Centerra shops on the east side, our customers come down 34 from every corner of town.
