Auto Trends has called North College Avenue home for years. We serve every neighborhood in Fort Collins — from Old Town to Harmony, from CSU to Wellington — with diesel, European, Japanese, and American specialty repair.
We’re at 1235 N College Avenue, on the east side of the road, just south of Willox Lane. The shop sits between the Cache la Poudre River and Old Town Fort Collins — easy reach from I-25 (5 minutes), Old Town (3 minutes), CSU (8 minutes), or Harmony Road (15 minutes).
We have customer parking on-site, a real lobby with coffee and Wi-Fi, and the kind of small-shop feel that makes drop-off easier than the dealership. After-hours key drop available.
Fort Collins is a CSU town, a tech-employer town (Woodward, Hach, Hewlett-Packard), and an outdoors town. The vehicles we see reflect that — student commuters, professional cars, ranch trucks, ski-trip rigs, and bring-a-trailer projects. We service all of them.
F-Series Super Duty, RAM 2500/3500, Silverado HD, Sierra HD. Cummins, Power Stroke, Duramax. The work trucks and tow rigs Northern Colorado runs — and the diesel SUVs (Sprinter conversions, TDI Touareg, EcoDiesel RAM) we see for the daily commute.
DIESEL REPAIR →BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, VW, Land Rover. We’re the alternative to driving to Boulder or Denver for European specialty service. Fort Collins has a strong European-car community and we serve it.
EUROPEAN REPAIR →Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Honda, Acura, Mazda. CSU faculty Subarus, family Highlanders, ranch Tacomas, and Honda commuters. We service the platforms Fort Collins relies on — and we know the head gaskets, timing chains, and frame rust to look for.
JAPANESE REPAIR →Ford, Chevy, GMC, RAM, Jeep — cars and trucks. Mustang, Wrangler, F-150, Silverado, Sierra. The vehicles built for Colorado roads and Colorado work.
AMERICAN REPAIR →“VANOS rebuild on my E46 M3, done right. Drives like new. Three different BMW shops in NoCo turned me away — Auto Trends took it on, did the job, charged a fair rate.”
“Came in for an EGT sensor that had been throwing codes for weeks. They had it diagnosed and replaced before lunch. Fair pricing and they explained what failed.”
“These guys understand boxer engines. Did a clutch and timing belt on my WRX with no surprises. Honest shop, fair pricing, and they actually listen to what you tell them.”
Auto Trends is part of the Fort Collins business community. We’re an independent shop with a long-standing reputation for honest specialty repair, and we partner with other Fort Collins-area shops for work that’s outside our four specialties.
We’re not a chain. We’re not a franchise. The decisions about how the shop runs are made by the people standing in the bays. The customer who came in for an oil change in 2008 is the same customer bringing their kid’s first car in today.
We serve every Fort Collins neighborhood: Old Town, CSU, Campus West, Midtown, Harmony, English Ranch, Bucking Horse, Old Prospect, Hill Pond, Stetson Creek, Raintree, Avery Park, Oakridge, and everything in between.
