Last night was something special.
We’re beyond proud, excited, and honestly a little blown away to share that Hotchkiss Auto Repair has been officially voted Best Auto Repair Shop in the 2026 Best of Mile High awards.
First place. Number one. Because of you and while awards are incredible, what this one really represents is something much bigger to us… trust.
This Win Belongs to You
This didn’t happen because of flashy marketing or luck. It happened because of our customers, our community, and the relationships we’ve built over the years.
Every vote cast…
Every review written…
Every referral sent our way…
That’s what got us here.
We know you have options when it comes to auto repair in Denver. The fact that you continue to choose us, support us, and now vote us into the top spot means everything. Whether you’ve been coming to us for years or you just walked through our doors for the first time last week, you are part of this win.
A Track Record We’re Proud Of
This moment didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a journey, and one we’re incredibly proud of:
- 2026 – 1st Place Winner
- 2025 – 2nd Place Finalist
- 2024 – 2nd Place Finalist
- 2023 – 1st Place Winner
That consistency means everything to us. It shows that year after year, our community continues to believe in what we’re doing. We didn’t just show up once. We kept showing up, improving, and earning your trust.
What “Best Auto Repair Shop” Means to Us
To most people, it might sound simple. Fix cars. Do good work. Move on. But to us, being the best isn’t just about turning wrenches. It’s about doing things differently.
It means:
- Honesty over upselling
- Education over pressure
- Long-term relationships over one-time transactions
- Doing the right thing, even when it’s the harder option
We’ve built our shop around one mission:
- Build Community in the neighborhood we serve and within the shop.
That mindset shows up in every inspection, every phone call, and every repair recommendation we make.
What You Can Expect When You Walk Through Our Doors
If you’ve never been to Hotchkiss Auto Repair, here’s what makes us different:
Transparent Inspections
We don’t just tell you what your car needs. We show you. With digital inspections, photos, and clear explanations, you’ll always understand what’s going on with your vehicle.
No Pressure Recommendations
You’ll never hear “you have to do this right now” unless it’s truly a safety issue. We prioritize your repairs and help you make informed decisions that fit your situation.
Skilled Technicians Who Care
Our team isn’t just ASE certified and trained. They’re passionate. These are people who take pride in getting it right the first time and treating your car like it’s their own.
Communication That Actually Feels Human
No confusing jargon. No talking over your head. Just real conversations, honest answers, and a team that actually listens.
A Team That Earned This
Awards like this don’t happen without an incredible team behind the scenes.
From our front office staff who greet you with a smile and keep everything organized…
To our technicians who stay late to make sure repairs are done right…
To our owner and management who contribute to the culture inside our shop…
This win belongs to them just as much as it belongs to our customers.
We’re proud of the environment we’ve built. One where people care. About their work, about each other, and about every customer who trusts us with their vehicle.
The Power of Your Reviews
We say it all the time, but it’s worth repeating: Reviews matter. A lot. Every time someone shares their experience, it helps another person feel confident walking through our doors for the first time and along the way, we recently hit a huge milestone… Over 800 Google Reviews. That’s 800+ stories, experiences, and moments where customers trusted us and took the time to share it. That kind of support isn’t normal. It’s something we never take for granted.
Why This Matters for You
At the end of the day, this award isn’t just about us celebrating. It’s about giving you confidence. Confidence that when you bring your car to Hotchkiss Auto Repair, you’re choosing a shop that:
- Has been recognized by the community
- Has built a reputation on trust
- Stands behind its work
- Puts people first
Whether it’s a simple oil change, a second opinion, or a major repair, you deserve to feel confident in where you go.
We’re Just Getting Started
Here’s the honest truth: Winning this award doesn’t mean we’ve “made it.” It means the expectations just got higher. And we’re ready for that.
We’re committed to:
- Continuing to improve
- Investing in our team and training
- Making every visit better than the last
- Staying grounded in the values that got us here
Because the goal isn’t just to be the best once… It’s to earn that title every single day.
If You Haven’t Visited Yet…
Now’s the perfect time.
If you’ve been putting off a repair…
If your check engine light has been staring at you…
If you just want a shop you can actually trust…
Come see what made us Mile Highs Best Auto Repair Shop of 2026.
