What we do

The trucks Northern Colorado runs on.

Pull up to any work site, ranch gate, or trailhead in Larimer County and most of what you see is Ford, Chevy, GMC, RAM, and Jeep. These are the vehicles Northern Colorado actually drives — to job sites, to Wyoming, to the trailhead, to the kids’ games. They’re work tools, not weekend drivers.

That’s how we treat them. Real diagnosis (not parts-cannon guesses), OEM and OE-equivalent parts, a turnaround that respects the fact that you need the truck back,

From a $60 oil change to a $6,000 engine rebuild, the standard is the same: do it right, document it with photos, charge a fair rate, and stand behind it.

FAQ

Common American questions.

What’s the most common F-150 issue you see?

On 2011–2014 EcoBoost 3.5L V6 trucks: timing chain stretch and cam phaser rattle. We hear it as a metallic rattle for 1–3 seconds on cold start. We do timing chain service with updated phasers and OEM Ford components. On the 5.0 Coyote, it’s variable cam timing solenoids. On the 6.7 Power Stroke F-Series, see our diesel page.

Do you work on lifted trucks or tuned trucks?

We service lifted trucks routinely — alignment, ball joints, U-joints, drivetrain. For tuned trucks, we’ll work on anything that doesn’t involve emissions equipment removal. We do not work on previously DPF/EGR-deleted trucks for emissions-affecting service.

Do you do RAM Cummins work?

Extensively. The RAM 2500/3500 Cummins (5.9 and 6.7) is one of our most-serviced platforms. See the diesel pillar page or the dedicated Cummins page for details on what we cover.

What about Mustang and other American performance cars?

Yes — Mustang (S197, S550, S650), Camaro (5th/6th gen), Challenger, Corvette (C5–C8). We service them as enthusiast cars, with the appropriate care: OEM parts, fluids that meet spec, alignment to the right reference, and we know which platforms to torque to spec versus by feel.

Do you service older / vintage American vehicles?

Case by case. Pre-2000 trucks, classic Mustangs, Broncos, Camaros, etc. — we’ll discuss the specific work and quote it ahead of time. We have technicians who grew up working on this stuff.
