What Makes Us Different
We've built our reputation on doing things differently. Here's why customers trust us.
No Commission Pressure
Most auto shops base advisor pay on commission—creating pressure to recommend unnecessary services. We're different: our advisors earn a salary with team bonuses tied to customer satisfaction, not transaction volume. No commission. No pressure.
Digital Inspections
See exactly what we see with photos and videos of your vehicle's condition. Complete transparency, no surprises.
5-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
We stand behind our work with one of the best warranties in the industry.
All Makes & Models
From domestic to European, gas to diesel, sedans to trucks—we service them all with ASE-certified expertise.
We Tell You What Can Wait
Not everything needs to be fixed today. We prioritize repairs and let you know what can safely wait.
25+ Years Serving Colorado Springs
We've been your neighbors for over two decades. We're not going anywhere.
40+ Loaner Vehicles
One of the largest loaner fleets in Colorado Springs. Continue your day while we work on your car—just call ahead to reserve.

Why Our Team Is Different
Great service starts with a great team. Here's how we take care of ours.
4-Day Work Week
Our technicians work Monday through Thursday. Not because we're lazy—because rested mechanics don't make tired mistakes on your brake lines. They come in refreshed, focused, and genuinely happy to be here.
Salaried, Not Commissioned
Unlike most shops that pay on commission, our advisors earn a salary with team bonuses—making them financially aligned with your best interests, not transaction volume. When we tell you something doesn't need fixing, we mean it. There's no commission math influencing the diagnosis.
28 Fundamentals
We operate by 28 culture fundamentals—things like “Do the right thing, always” (especially when no one's looking), “Speak straight” (honest answers, even uncomfortable ones), and “Keep things fun” (because the world has bigger problems than car repairs).
Our Services
From routine maintenance to complex repairs, we've got you covered.
Brake Repair
Complete brake system service including pads, rotors, and fluid.
Oil Change
Full-service oil changes with quality filters and fluids.
Engine Repair
From minor fixes to major overhauls, we handle it all.
Transmission Repair
Expert transmission diagnosis and repair services.
Diagnostics & Check Engine Light
Advanced computer diagnostics to identify issues fast.
Diesel Service
Specialized diesel engine maintenance and repair.
Your Repair Helps a Neighbor
When you choose Adam & Son, you're not just fixing your car—you're helping fix someone else's life.
Every oil change, every brake job, every repair funds the Stranded Motorist Fund—a program that provides emergency vehicle repairs to families who can't afford them. A single mom who can't get to work. A veteran stranded on the side of the road. A family one breakdown away from losing everything.
We're the first social impact auto repair shop in America. Since we opened, we've given back over $260K to our Colorado Springs community.
You're not just a customer. You're part of the solution.
The Adam & Son Story
In 1994, Dan Adam earned his ASE Master Technician certification. Five years later, he bought a small auto shop with one mission: prove that mechanics can be trusted.
He didn't just want to fix cars. He wanted to fix an industry known for taking advantage of people.
25 years later, Adam & Son has given back over $260K to Colorado Springs. We operate on a 4-day work week. Our advisors are salaried, not commissioned. And 31% of our customers are referred to us by other auto shops.
Dan's still here. So is the mission.
What Our Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real customers have to say.
I've been burned by mechanics before, so I came in ready for the worst. They showed me photos of everything, told me what needed fixing NOW versus what could wait six months, and the bill was actually less than I expected. I almost cried in the parking lot.
As a single mom, every dollar matters. They prioritized my repairs and were honest that two of the things could safely wait. No other shop has ever done that for me. I've told everyone I know.
I know nothing about cars and I've always felt stupid at auto shops. The team here explained everything in plain English, showed me pictures, and never once made me feel like an idiot. Game changer.
I was skeptical about auto repair shops, but Adam & Son changed my mind. They showed me pictures of everything and explained what needed to be fixed now versus what could wait. No pressure, just honesty.
Been coming here for 10 years. They've always been upfront about costs and never tried to upsell me on things I don't need. That's rare in this industry.
The digital inspection was amazing! I could see exactly what they were talking about. Makes it so much easier to understand what's going on with my car.
