Need it looked at? Call (970) 317-2009 or Book appointment online. Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Where is Ace AutoFix, and when can students come in?
Ace AutoFix is at 320 Wilson Gulch Dr, Durango, CO 81301. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. We are closed Saturday and Sunday, so plan a weekday drop-off around class. Online booking is on the site, and the phone is (970) 317-2009.
We are locally owned. People sometimes assume the shop is a chain because it is new and clean. It is not. Read more on our About Ace AutoFix page.
What can Ace AutoFix fix on a student car?
Most of what a daily driver needs. We cover oil changes and maintenance like filters, fluids, belts, and tire rotation. We cover brake repair for pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. We cover check engine light diagnosis, battery and electrical work, and wheel alignment with tires, steering, and suspension.
That is on any brand of car and on gas or light-duty trucks. We do not do diesel, body work, collision, paint, or glass. If your job is one of those, we will tell you up front instead of holding the car.
How do I keep a repair inside a student budget?
Ask three questions before anyone turns a wrench: what failed, what it costs in writing, and what can wait. We answer all three. The price is labor and parts, with no supply, ordering, or disposal fees tacked on at the end. We do not upsell. If something can wait until next semester, we say so.

Next step: see our diagnostics and inspections page for what Ace AutoFix checks and how the visit works.
Should I get a used car inspected before I buy it?
Yes, if the seller will let you. A pre-purchase inspection is a shop look before you pay, with written findings on what failed and what can wait. It is the best time to find a problem, because the car is not yours yet. Ace AutoFix covers pre-purchase inspections on cars and gas or light-duty trucks. More on our diagnostics and inspections page and in What is a pre-purchase inspection in Durango?.
What should I check before driving home for break?
Brakes, tires, coolant, and the battery. Durango sits at about 6,512 feet. US-550 north climbs over Coal Bank, Molas, and Red Mountain Pass, and US-160 runs west past Mesa Verde. Long grades and cold mornings are where a tired part shows up.
Book a look before the last week of classes, not the morning you leave. Related reading: What is a pre-trip inspection Durango? and Why do car batteries fail in Durango cold?.
