Auto Repair Services

Everything a car, truck or SUV needs except body work, done in one building by ASE Master Certified technicians, and warrantied for four years.

We are a full-service independent shop at C470 and Bowles, and we have been on this corner since 2008. The list below is what we do most. If what you need is not on it, call and ask — the odds are good.

Repair

Brake Repair

Pads measured in millimeters, not adjectives

Check Engine Light Diagnosis

A code is a question. Diagnosis is the answer

A/C and Heater Repair

Leaks found, not topped off

Cooling and Radiator

Overheating is how engines die

Exhaust and Muffler

Sections repaired rather than systems sold

What we do not do

Body and collision work. We refer that out to shops we actually trust rather than subcontracting it and adding a margin.

Performance building and heavy machine work. There are shops in the metro set up for exactly that, and we will name them rather than learn on your vehicle.

Knowing what we are not is part of being good at what we are.

Every make we service

Domestic, Asian and European — eighteen makes we see often enough to know their patterns before the car arrives. See the full list.

Common questions

Do I need an appointment?

For repair work, yes. Call 303-795-2600 and we will find you a slot with the right technician and the right parts ready. For oil changes, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can fit you in today.

What does diagnosis cost?

Check engine light diagnosis is $165 with a $10 off coupon available. A/C diagnosis is half price with approved service. A quote for a known repair is free; finding out what is wrong is real work by a certified technician and is charged as such.

How long is the warranty?

Forty-eight months or 50,000 miles on parts and labor for qualifying repairs, whichever comes first. That is double the NAPA nationwide standard. Full terms.

Can you work on my car without voiding the factory warranty?

Yes. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because an independent shop did the maintenance, as long as it is done to specification and documented. We document and report to Carfax.

Dakota Ridge Auto was incredibly efficient and friendly. I brought my car in for an oil change and the staff explained everything clearly while getting the job done quickly. I left feeling confident about the service and will definitely return for any future car maintenance.
