About ten minutes away at C470 and Bowles, with ASE Master Certified technicians and a 48 month / 50,000 mile warranty on every qualifying repair.
We are the shop at C470 and Bowles, about ten minutes from the Solterra community below the hogback. Dakota Ridge was featured in STROLL Solterra’s Business Beat, which is roughly how half the neighborhood found us.
Everything on this site applies the same way for Solterra drivers: oil changes from $49.99 with a 32 point inspection, brakes measured rather than guessed at, and a 48 month warranty on the work.
Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm, with a courtesy shuttle and an after-hours key drop. Directions and hours.
We see a lot of cars from the neighbourhoods either side of this one too — Dakota Ridge and Ken Caryl are both a similar run to the shop.

Solterra is on the other side of the hogback from us: C470 south from Alameda to Bowles, about ten minutes. STROLL Solterra ran a Business Beat feature on the shop in September 2025, and it told the story better than we usually do. TJ Cobbett, a Colorado native, helped open this building in 2008 when it was a shell with a dirt lot, and has run it since. It became one of the first NAPA Gold Certified shops in the state, it takes interns from Dakota Ridge and Chatfield high schools and has hired several of them, and the line TJ gave the magazine is the one we would give you: focus on the people and the rest follows. A good share of Solterra found us through that article. The rest found us through a neighbor.
