Colorado Springs' No-Nonsense Auto Shop
Peak Auto Care opened on S Nevada Ave in 2011 when founder Carlos Hernandez got tired of watching Colorado Springs drivers get ripped off by shops that replaced parts they didn't need and charged dealership rates for average work.
Carlos had spent 12 years as an ASE Master Technician at two different dealerships in El Paso County. He knew what excellent auto repair looked like — and he knew it didn't require gouging customers or manufacturing problems. He opened Peak Auto Care with three bays, four technicians, and one rule: tell the customer the truth, even when the truth costs you a sale.
Thirteen years later, Peak Auto Care operates 8 bays with 11 ASE-certified technicians, serves over 1,400 vehicles per month, and holds a 4.9-star Google rating with over 890 reviews. The rule hasn't changed.

ASE Service ConsultantWhat Our Customers Say
My check engine light came on the morning of a road trip to Telluride. Peak Auto had me diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road by noon — no upsell, fair price, and the car ran perfectly the whole trip. These guys are the only shop I'll ever use.
I'm a single mom and car repairs are terrifying — I've been ripped off before. Peak Auto gave me a written estimate, explained everything in plain English, and came in $200 under what the dealer quoted. I've sent every woman I know here.
Brought in my F-150 with a transmission issue. They diagnosed it correctly (other shop had the wrong answer), did a clean repair, and had it back to me in two days. The 2-year warranty sealed the deal. Peak Auto earned a customer for life.
