European Car Specialists

We saw a great need for an alternative to the European car dealerships for service. As an independent auto repair shop in Durango, we believe we can deliver more personal, more convenient and friendlier services than the dealerships. We do all of this AND we provide equal or better technical experience than the dealerships.

Independent Auto Repair Shop Committed to Longer-Lasting Cars

As an independent auto repair shop, we have our customers in mind. One very important thing to our customers is to make their cars last longer. We accomplish this goal so much better than most dealerships. We do this through correct procedural maintenance for your vehicles.

Conversely, dealerships have a little conflict going on... On one hand, they want to provide maintenance to keep the car running longer, but they do not want you to spend too much on maintenance because that looks bad for the car brands they sell. Additionally, they really want to sell you another car.

We know cars need more maintenance than what the manufacturers schedule suggests. We know this through experience and continual education. As automotive professionals. This is why we stay on top of the maintenance for your vehicles. We want you to trade your car in when you want, not when the car has broken down and the expense of repair forces you to buy another.
