C&D Automotive opened in Colorado Springs in 2019with a simple idea: treat every customer the way you’d want to be treated, and do the work right the first time.
From day one, we built our reputation on transparency — honest assessments, clear upfront estimates, and never starting work without customer approval. That approach turned first-time customers into loyal regulars.
Today we handle everything from routine maintenance and diagnostics to full engine rebuilds, custom paint and bodywork, and high-performance racecar builds. No matter the job, our standard stays the same.
What started as two guys who wanted to run a shop the right way has grown into a full-service operation trusted across Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities — Fountain, Falcon, Peyton, and Pueblo. The name on the door hasn’t changed since 2019, and neither has the reason customers keep coming back.
ASE certification is the nationally recognized standard for automotive technician competency — so you know the people working on your vehicle have been tested and verified.
We explain every repair in plain language. You'll always know what we're doing, why, and what it costs.
Quality parts, a clean shop, and the time it takes to do every job right — from oil change to engine rebuild.
We keep you updated throughout. No dropped calls, no surprises when you come to pick up.
Every tech at C&D takes ownership of their work. We're proud of what comes out of this shop.
We're a local Colorado Springs shop. Our reputation lives by word of mouth — and we're proud of what people say.
We respect your time, work efficiently without rushing past quality, and give honest timelines upfront.
Cody has been turning wrenches since before he could drive. With years of professional shop experience across diagnostics, engine work, and performance builds, he's the guy who finds what other shops miss. Customers trust him because he explains what's wrong in plain language — no upselling, no guesswork.
Dugan keeps the shop running right and customers in the loop. From scheduling to estimates to making sure the work gets done correctly, he's the reason C&D runs the way it does — on time, on budget, and with no surprises. His background in both automotive and business operations means the customer experience is never an afterthought.
You talk to the people actually working on your vehicle — not a service advisor relaying messages back and forth from the shop floor.
Independent shops typically carry lower overhead than a dealership service department, which often means a lower labor rate for the same work.
Bring your vehicle back over time and the same techs get familiar with its history — not a rotating cast of strangers each visit.
We're not tied to manufacturer-specific sales targets or upsell programs. Our recommendations are based on what your vehicle actually needs.
