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.

Why Our Team Is Different

A well-treated team does better work on your car. Here's how we make sure of it.

No Burned-Out Techs

Our 4-day work week means your technician is focused, not fatigued. While most shops run 10-hour shifts six days a week, our rested mechanics don't cut corners on your car.

“A rested mechanic is a careful mechanic.”

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).

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.

27 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. In our 2024 customer survey (74 customers),94% rated their trust in Adam & Son higher than in the auto repair industry overall.

Dan's still here. So is the mission.

Squeaking brakes usually mean worn brake pads or glazed rotors. Persistent squeaking means it's time for replacement. Bring it in and we'll inspect your brakes.
It could be anything from a loose gas cap to a failing sensor. Diagnostic equipment reads the error codes to pinpoint the exact problem.
Most modern vehicles need oil changes every 7,500 to 10,000 miles with synthetic oil. Colorado's altitude can shorten that interval.
Pull over and turn off the engine immediately. Don't open the radiator cap while hot. Let it cool 30 minutes, then have it towed if needed.
Use the penny test — if you can see Lincoln's full head, tread is too low. Also check for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
