Know the signs
Your car is trying to tell you something
These are the everyday warnings drivers bring us most. Spot one? It’s worth a call — no appointment or diagnosis needed to ask.
-
A grind or squeal when you brake
Often just a worn pad — cheap to swap now, costlier once it eats the rotor.
-
A dashboard light you can’t explain
Could be minor, could matter — a quick code scan tells us which.
-
A puddle under where you park
Fluids belong inside. Catching a leak early usually keeps it small.
-
The wheel shakes or pulls to one side
Usually alignment or a worn part — easy to check, easy to miss.
-
It idles rough or stalls at a stop
Often a simple sensor or tune-up, not the whole engine.
-
It cranks slow or won’t start
Battery, starter, or a connection — a five-minute test says which.

About Us
Aurora Auto Repair That Explains Before It Fixes
Rocky Mountain Automotive runs on a simple idea: most people don't distrust mechanics because of the wrench work — they distrust them because of the surprises. So the shop does it the other way around. You'll hear what's actually wrong, what it will take to fix, and what it's likely to cost before anyone starts turning bolts. It's plain-spoken, no-pressure repair for Aurora drivers who just want to get back on the road with a shop they can keep coming back to.

What our customers say
★4.5 · 99 Google reviews
I had just moved to a new area looking for a reputable mechanic. I had been having problems with my van before I even moved here. Rick was so kind to have me come in without an appointment and troubleshoot it — it took 2 days but I haven't had a problem since. I am so grateful to have a mechanic I can trust.
Great experience! Rick and Russ were both friendly and professional. They fixed my vehicle quickly at a good price. I will definitely be returning for any future needs.
