At Leadfoot Linda's, we provide full-service auto repair with a focus on convenience and eco-consciousness.

Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your vehicle with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance. If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.

Based in Germany, Audi builds prestigious cars and SUVs that combine luxury and sport.

I’ve always had a good experience at Leadfoot Linda’s. Jeff answered a number of questions for me before my truck was brought into the shop. They performed a general inspection and sent me a report with photos outlining maintenance that should be considered. Work was completed at the quoted price. Will use them again in the future.

They looked at the car even though it was after hours made sure I was ok and able to get a ride home left a bottle of water while I waited. Was told what the problem was and cost and when they could get to it did all this with a great attitude which always makes me feel good that they know and are trying their best to get me back on the road. Will not go any place else to big work done on my car

I can always trust Jeff and the crew with our family vehicles. They service what only needs to be done and give excellent advice on possible future vehicle maintenance. Every encounter I have with them has been excellent and I know that they are looking out for our best interest.

I've take some time in writing this review, because I knew I was going to give it a 5 star rating. I have a 2010 BMW 535xiT (T for touring or station wagon). Much to my chagrin BMW stopped importing 5series wagons so I hope to keep this one as long as I can. I had done business with Leadfoot Linda's in years past, but in the past year I began to use them for more serious work than oil changes.
Last year they replaced the auto tranny fluid per schedule and from my observation pushed all the right buttons. This put them on the path to gaining my trust.
This year I got a red warning

I was traveling through Colorado pulling a car trailer when I had the unfortunate luck of having a wheel bearing go bad. A quick google search led me to Leadfoot Linda's. Although it was almost closing time for them, Jeff advised me he would do what he could to get me back on the road. The guys proceded to stay late that night to identify the problem and they also provided the parking overnight necessary for the trailer. The next morning they were all over the repair and got me back on the road in no time. I have had many experiences regarding vehicle repair and I must say this is among

Brought in my car last night when they were closing down and the guys looked at it after hours which I really appreciated, and gave me an idea of why my check engine light was on in my 1998 Honda Civic. The mechanics were helpful and had my car ready to go the next day. The down side is that they charge 140 dollars HOURLY for labor, which is the most I have ever paid in my life for a mechanic. Replacing my spark plugs and rewiring totaled to $409.43. I was also recommended and told it would be about $300 to flush my transmission fluid on my little Honda Civic, which I normally can get for $150

Had a great experience, customer service-wise and speed-of-repair-wise here in November. I needed my car fixed in a week after a snowy accident, and they did an amazing job getting everything repaired. Car was running fine, until 6 days later...I hit North Carolina on my cross country scenic road trip to Boston, and the car started to sound like it needed power steering fluid. Every few days after that, it would sound like it was out again. So we brought it into a Volkswagen dealership in MA and they informed us that Leadfoot Linda's had put in a broken steering column. Pretty major issue

Being that it is the mountains, I expected high prices. They are very nice and come off as knowledgeable as Silvia S. commented. Luckily, I am blessed with a brother who is a sweet mechanic, but lives in another part of CO. Whenever my truck acts up, I typically bring it into a mechanic and get a run-down of things that may need service and relay that to my brother. Anywho, I brought my truck in for what I knew was an electrical issue. They were able to identify it as a faulty alternator. They also pointed out that my rear axle seal was leaking fluid all over my brakes, and that I would need
