Know before you go
Six signs it's time to
swing by El Primo.
You know your car better than anyone. If it's doing one of these, it's worth a look — and a look here is free. We'll tell you what's urgent and what can wait.
- 01
Worn or low tread
Bald spots, shallow grooves, or the wear bars showing — traction's going.
- 02
Pulling to one side
The car drifts when you let go of the wheel — usually alignment.
- 03
Shaking at speed
A steering-wheel shimmy on the highway often means balancing.
- 04
Low-pressure light
That horseshoe icon on the dash means a tire's losing air.
- 05
Squealing or grinding brakes
A metallic squeal or grind is your brakes asking for a look.
- 06
Uneven or cupped wear
Tires wearing on one edge point to alignment or suspension.
Not sure what's wrong? Tell us — a free look, no pressure.

Why El Primo
Built for the driver who's
been burned before.
El Primo was built for the one who walks into a shop already braced for a runaround. We do the opposite: we look at your car, tell you plainly what it needs — and what it doesn't — and give you a free estimate before we start.
We'd rather explain the fix in words you can actually use than pad a bill. A customer who trusts us comes back, and sends their friends.

"Helped me handle an early morning nail removal and tire patch. Communicative, quick and great service. Also helped me pop a slightly dislodged bumper guard back into place. Thank you! I will definitely be back for my tire needs."

"Showed up with no appointment because I had a flat tire. They were eager to help, fast, efficient, and fairly priced."
A. S.Denver · Google -
"The best customer service that I have ever experienced from a mechanic/auto repair shop. They were able to squeeze me in, resolve my issue, and get my car back to me within two days when other places were quoting me at least a week. Quality work at a very fair price. I will be taking my car here for all future issues and repairs."

"I have had a great experience each time I've brought my car here! They have great customer service and are honest about the work they're doing and the state of the vehicle. Very refreshing and hard to find in mechanics today."

No surprises. We explain
before we fix — then fix it right.
Good questions
Straight answers,
before you ask.
Still wondering something? Call the shop — we'd rather talk it through than have you guess.
(720) 544-9432Do you give free estimates?
Yes. We'll look at your car and give you a free estimate before we start any work, so you know the cost up front. No surprises on the invoice.
Can I come in without an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome, especially for flats and quick tire work. If you've got a flat or a warning light, give us a call at (720) 544-9432 and swing by — we'll do our best to get you back on the road fast.
What are your hours?
We're open Monday 7:00 AM–7:00 PM, Tuesday through Friday 7:00 AM–8:00 PM, and Saturday 7:00 AM–7:00 PM. We're closed Sundays.
Where are you located?
We're on Tejon St in Denver (3801 Tejon St, 80211), serving Denver and the surrounding Front Range neighborhoods like the Highlands, LoHi, Sunnyside, and Berkeley.
Will you tell me if something doesn't actually need fixing?
That's the whole idea. We explain before we fix, tell you what's urgent versus what can wait, and won't invent work you don't need. If a repair isn't worth it, we'll say so.
Do you handle both tires and general auto repair?
Yes. Tires are our bread and butter — repairs, new tires, rotation and balancing — but we also handle brakes, oil changes, diagnostics, and suspension work. Call us with what's going on and we'll point you the right way.
