CTDS is a full-service auto repair shop in Fort Lupton, Colorado. Our ASE-certified mechanics handle everyday automotive repair — brakes, suspension and steering, air conditioning, cooling systems, batteries, tune-ups and engine repair — alongside the transmission work we've been known for since 1998.
Every visit starts with real engine diagnostics rather than guesswork, so you know what your car or truck actually needs before anything is repaired. As a local automotive repair shop, we service most makes — Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Ram, Honda, Toyota and more — and we also take care of Cummins, Duramax and Powerstroke owners who need diesel work.

Brakes, suspension, AC, diagnostics, tune-ups — one trusted shop for everything you drive.
View DetailsRoutine maintenance is the cheapest repair you'll ever pay for.

Uneven tire wear, a pull to one side, or a steering wheel that sits crooked usually points to suspension and steering trouble — bring it in and a mechanic will inspect the front end and steering components and tell you exactly what's worn. Paired with engine diagnostics, that keeps small issues from turning into major auto repair bills later.
We tell you what your vehicle actually needs — and what it doesn't. No upsells, no scare tactics.
Clear written estimates, photo documentation when it helps, and a real conversation before any work begins.
ASE-certified technicians with decades of experience across transmissions, diesel, and complete auto repair.
Locally owned and operated in Fort Lupton since 1998 — we treat your vehicle like it belongs to family.
