Straightforward Auto Repair in Lucerne, CO

If you need auto repair in Lucerne, there is not much right in town, so most folks head down US-85. Kill Switch Automotive is at the south end of that drive in La Salle: a family-owned shop with two partners, two employees and a lot of experience keeping farm-country vehicles running.

We opened in 2019 after working together at Firestone Complete Auto Care. The goal was simple. Build a shop people can trust. We are not perfect, but we try our absolute best and we stand behind our work.

  1. Auto Repair in Lucerne for Drivers Who Live Off US-85

    Lucerne is a highway town. Nearly every trip starts on 85, which means highway speeds, long straight runs and a lot of miles per year even if you never leave Weld County.

    We see plenty of Lucerne vehicles with high miles and good bones. Our job is to keep them that way without selling you work they do not need.

  2. Suspension and Tire Wear From Lucerne Gravel Roads

    Turn off 85 in any direction and you hit gravel within a mile or two. Washboard roads loosen steering parts, wear shocks and chew up tires faster than pavement ever will.

    We check ball joints, tie rods, shocks and struts and make the fix through our suspension repair service.

  3. Harvest-Season Fleet and Work Truck Service Around Lucerne

    Every fall, sugar beet trucks crowd US-85 through Lucerne, and every farm pickup in the area works twice as hard. That is the worst time for a breakdown.

    Our fleet service accounts help ag operations and small businesses keep work trucks maintained before the busy season hits, scheduled on weekdays.

  4. Lucerne Customers Get Repair Updates by Phone or Text

    When you are 20 minutes out, you do not want to drive down just to hear what we found. We call or text you with what is wrong, what it costs and what can wait.

    You approve the work from wherever you are, and we get to it.

  5. Cold-Start and No-Start Diagnostics for Lucerne Trucks

    Open country gets cold. A truck that cranks slow on a January morning could have a weak battery, a failing starter or a fuel problem.

    Our no-start diagnostics test each one so you replace the part that actually failed.

  6. Highway-Mile Maintenance for Lucerne Commuters

    Lucerne drivers pile on miles fast. Oil, filters, fluids and tires come due sooner than people think.

    We keep track with scheduled vehicle maintenance based on your actual mileage, not a generic sticker.

  7. Engine Repair for High-Mileage Lucerne Vehicles

    A well-kept engine can go a long way. When something does go wrong, we find the cause, explain the fix and give you an honest opinion on whether the vehicle is worth the money.

    From gaskets to timing components, our engine repair is done by the same small crew that diagnosed it.

  8. Lucerne Car Repair Options Laid Out Before You Spend

    There is usually more than one way to fix a car. We lay out the choices, including when a cheaper fix makes sense for an older vehicle.

    It starts with a thorough diagnostic check, so the options are based on facts.

  9. Planning Lucerne Auto Repair Around One Trip to Town

    Tell us everything when you call: the noise, the light, the oil change that is overdue. We will line up the work so it gets done in one visit when possible, and fold in any routine service that is coming due.

    That kind of planning is what auto repair in Lucerne should look like. If you searched mechanic near me from Lucerne and came up empty in town, give us a call.
