01 · WHY HERNANDEZ

Quality is what
distinguishes us.

Six values that shape every repair, every conversation, every quote.

Honesty

We tell you what your vehicle needs — and what it doesn't. No upselling, no surprises.

Formality

When we say a date, we keep it. When we agree on a price, that's the price.

Bilingual service

Speak to us in English or Spanish — every visit, every phone call. No translators needed.

Order & cleanliness

A clean shop is a careful shop. Your vehicle leaves the way it came in — minus the problem.

Affordable prices

Fair pricing, always. Quality service shouldn't cost you a dealer-level bill.

Customer satisfaction

We're not done until you drive away happy — and we mean that literally.

02 · WHAT WE DO

Maintenance & repairs
for domestic and imported vehicles.

Gas, diesel, hybrid and electric — we cover the day-to-day care your vehicle needs to stay reliable.

Maintenance

Oil change

Engine oil gets contaminated with particles from normal use. We change it on schedule to keep your engine running clean.

Brake cleaning & service

Brakes are the most critical safety system on your vehicle. We inspect, clean, and service pads, discs and calipers.

Antifreeze change

Essential for winter — without it, water can freeze in the radiator and damage your engine. We use the right mix for your climate.

Transmission tuning

Automatic transmission fluid, standard transmission service and differential lubricant — to keep your gear shifts smooth.

Battery change

A reliable battery powers your starter, lights and electronics. Test, replace and properly install — quick and easy.

A/C refrigerant change

When your A/C isn't cooling like it used to, the refrigerant likely needs service. We recharge and inspect for leaks.

Injector cleaning

Injectors deliver fuel to the engine. Dirty injectors cause rough idle, lost power and bad mileage — cleaning restores performance.

Carburetor cleaning

For older vehicles with carburetors — buildup from fuel residue affects mixture and idle. We clean it back to spec.

Engine wash

A clean engine bay isn't just looks — it helps us spot leaks, worn seals and loose connections early.

Repairs

Welding

Exhaust, frames, brackets and structural repairs. We weld what others say can't be fixed — saving you a costly replacement.

Complete engine repair

From head gaskets to full rebuilds. We diagnose what your engine really needs and fix it right — no shortcuts.

Steering

Power steering, rack and pinion, tie rods and alignment. Drive straight, with no vibration in the wheel.

Gearbox

Manual gearbox service and repair — clutches, synchronizers, bearings. We bring your stick shift back to life.

Transmission

Automatic transmission service, repair and rebuilds. Smooth shifts and longer life for your transmission.

Suspension

Shocks, struts, ball joints, control arms and bushings. A smooth ride that keeps your tires planted on the road.

Air conditioning

A/C diagnosis and repair — compressor, condenser, evaporator and electrical faults. Beyond recharge: we fix the root cause.

EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT

Free 10-mile tow with every repair.

If your vehicle won't make it to us under its own power, we'll tow it in — at no extra cost — when you repair with us. For vehicles up to 10,000 lbs. Watkins, Aurora East, Bennett and surrounding areas.

Real questions,
clear answers.

Do you really speak Spanish?

Yes. You can call, text, or walk in — and you'll be understood in English or Spanish, every time. No translators, no awkward phone trees.

How does the free tow work?

If your vehicle can't make it to us, we'll tow it in for free within a 10-mile radius when you have us perform the repair. The free tow applies to vehicles up to 10,000 lbs. Just call us at (720) 949-5362 to coordinate.

What kind of vehicles do you work on?

Domestic and imported vehicles, gas, diesel, hybrid and electric — light pickups, SUVs, sedans and more. If it has wheels and a motor, bring it by.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes — we back every repair with a 3-month workmanship guarantee. If something we fixed fails because of how we installed or repaired it, you bring it back and we make it right at no cost. Parts are covered separately by the manufacturer.

Do I need an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome, but a quick call ahead helps us prepare and reduces your wait. We're open Mon–Fri 8am–5pm and Saturdays 8am–3pm.
