Are you considering driving for Uber? One of the requirements to drive for Uber (or Lyft) is to have an Uber Inspection once per year. Guess what? We can help! The inspection doesn't take very long and is very affordable. Just give us a call and schedule a time to either wait or drop off your vehicle. You’ll leave with everything you need to present to Uber and show your car is ready to drive. Once we complete your inspection, you’ll just need to scan or take a photo of it and submit the electronic version to your driver dashboard on Uber’s website.

This year’s Peach Festival was a big hit! Thank you to everyone who came out in support of the Rotary Club, which works hard to make Fort Collins a great community for all of us to live and work. With the festival continuing to grow each year, we were ecstatic to sponsor the event and host our booth, “The Pit Stop”. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed the fun at the booth; we hope you had fun working with your hands! Highlights: 5 people beat the tech’s time removing the valve cover and won $50! The youngest winner was 5 years old! (I think we found our next future mechanic) And 100 people found the prize under the valve cover! All without even getting their hands dirty!

Used oil filters are a big NO NO for landfills. Since they contain two non-renewable resources, steel and oil, it is imperative that they be recycled. Steel is the number one recycled material in North America, which is good, because it is one of the only materials that can be recycled without downgrading its integrity. Recycled steel is used to make cars, cans, appliances, and construction materials. The Steel Recycling Institute estimates that if all the oil filters sold annually in the United States were recycled, enough steel would be recovered to build 16 new stadiums the size of Atlanta’s Olympic Stadium–that’s 160,000 tons of steel If you service your own vehicle’s oil–great! Maintaining your vehicle offers a great sense of empowerment and helps you be in control of your transportation needs. But what are you doi ... read more
