Our Story
A Neighborhood Shop, Built on Friendship
Friends Auto Service opened on W. Colfax Ave with one idea: auto repair should feel like getting help from a friend who happens to know engines — not a transaction with a stranger. That's still how we run things today.
We're your neighbors. We shop at the same stores, drive the same roads, and know that a reliable vehicle isn't a luxury — it's how you get your kids to school and yourself to work. Every car that pulls into our bay gets the same care we'd want for our own family's.
