ASE Master Certified technicians at C470 and Bowles since 2008. Every repair backed by 48 months and 50,000 miles on parts and labor.

Most of our customers drive in from Ken Caryl, Solterra, Dakota Ridge, Columbine, Chatfield and Roxborough — most of them in ten minutes or less.

We measure pads in millimeters at all four corners and tell you the number, rather than saying “getting low.”

A warranty is a shop betting its own money on its own diagnosis. A shop that guesses cannot afford to write four years, because it will be paying to do the same job twice. What is covered and what is not.

Locally owned and operated, Dakota Ridge Auto strives to relieve this stress by delivering quality auto repair work at fair and honest prices.
We’ll communicate openly, answer your questions, only perform maintenance and repair services you approve, as well as complete all repairs in a timely manner.
