    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Vehicle Tips

      The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

    • Vehicle Tips

      Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

    • Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

What our clients say about us?

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • Exceptionally friendly, prompt service and very accommodating.


    -Jesse E.

  • I have had 2 Jeeps worked on at their shop, and they have saved me thousands of dollars.


    -David E.

  • Bought a new vehicle from a private party who was not able to figure out what was going on with it. Took it to Clayton and his crew, and they were able to figure it out and fix it. Thanks for doing it at a reasonable price and a timely manner.


    -Christiana D.

  • Had my vehicle towed there on a Saturday and picked it up Monday by noon. Thanks for the quick service!


    -Michelle E.

  • My family has had their automotive work done for years at Family Auto Care. A place and people you can trust to do a good job and at a reasonable price!


    -David C.

  • The last of the family auto shops. No gimmicks, no bait and switch, no changing the story to fit the bill. Just honest shop that wants you to get back on the road safely.


    -Eric M.

  • Would recommend this shop a million times! The customer service is wonderful. I had my transmission replaced on my Subaru, and now I get my oil changes here because they are so nice. It's a friendly place, and you never feel like they are taking advantage of you.


    -Caitlin B.

  • Caring and honest mechanic. Passing through town and had just accidentally cracked and punched a small hole in my oil pan earlier that morning. I was looking for a quick fix to at least slow the oil dripping til I get home to my regular mechanic. Clayton was kind and honest enough to let me know they don't do what I was looking to have done for liability reasons. He took the time to talk and learn a bit about me and what I could potentially do myself. He directed me to AutoZone with some suggestions until I had the time for a proper fix. It all worked out thanks to the time and kindness Clayton offered for free in place of the proper service I didn't have time to wait for.


    -Tyler D.

  • Excellent service! Fixed my 5 speed sensor extremely fast, and I have not had problems with it since. Customer service was great - they were all nice, helpful, and ready to help me.


    -Kylie D.

  • Great shop. Super techs. Always friendly and explain repairs in layman's terms. Highly recommend.


    -Felipe A.

  • Great customer care. Fixed oil leak for less than quotes from other businesses.


    -Tonya S.

  • Clayton gave me a list of things that needed to be addressed with my car for free and advised on which issues were most important and provided costs so that I would know how to budget. The techs were great with getting the repairs done quickly and correctly.


    -Jeff H.

  • Had a water pump break down on the highway on our way back to Denver and they were able to squeeze us in right away and had us back on the road in about 2 hours. They were honest guys and also cheaper than other places nearby. Definitely recommend this shop.


    -Christy J.

  • I have been taking my vehicles to this auto shop for many years. I have always had excellent service both customer and mechanical.. I wouldn't recommend any one else in town. Respect and trust is key


    -Anonymous

  • Clayton has always treated me fair, been honest and done great work on my vehicle.


    -Jeff H.

  • I have taken my cars to Family Auto for the past couple of years. They have always been fair and reasonable with me. They identify the problem and fix it in a timely manner. I cannot remember a time where they tried to sell me something that I did not need. I would suggest making an appointment if you can because they are very busy (this is generally a sign of a good shop). I without hesitation recommend this shop to friends and family. Services I have had them do: timing belt, oil change, transmission service, front end work.


    -Kenneth W.

  • Family Auto Care and Transmission has always offered honest, reliable service, at a fair price. I wouldn't trust my families vehicles with anyone else. Clayton and his staff are friendly, helpful, and always go out of their way to offer great service. We have been pleased with their service for many years and look forward to many more. Ditch the overpriced companies and take your vehicles here!


    -Caroline H.

  • While traveling on Colorado's Western Slope, we needed someone to rebuild the transmission in my 3/4 ton 4WD GMC Suburban ASAP and Family Auto Care & Transmission really came through for us. They finished the job in less than a day and a half, as promised. They went out of their way to make the whole repair process as painless as possible and quickly got us on our way again. I would definitely recommend this shop.
