Three Reasons Englewood Owners Make the Drive
Technicians who specialize, not generalize. Our staff is ASE-certified and factory-trained specifically on European platforms, so diagnosis and repair follow the same standards you'd expect from a manufacturer's own service department.
A team paid to get it right, not to sell you more. Everyone on our staff is salaried rather than commissioned, which supports our focus on quality over volume instead of upselling services your car doesn't need.
Work that's backed, not just promised. Every repair carries our 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, and we install OEM-grade parts as standard, not as an upcharge.
Led by a Technician Who Grew Up Working on European Cars
Owner Chris McNeal spent his early years learning mechanics from his grandfather and practicing on European cars throughout his teens. After a career in IT, he transitioned into professional European car repair in 2012, working as a technician at several Colorado European performance and race shops before founding Black Canyon Performance European Auto Service in 2016. That background shapes how the shop runs: every recommendation is something Chris and his team can explain in plain terms, and every job is finished the way they'd want their own car handled.
