Who We Are

Built by car people, for car people (and everyone else who wants their car done right).

We started 1UP with a simple goal: create the kind of shop we’d trust with our own vehicles. That means real relationships, skilled hands, and no ego—just solid work and straight answers.

Located in Fort Collins, CO, we’re a small, independent shop that takes pride in doing things right the first time. Whether it’s a basic oil change, chasing down a weird drivability issue, or dialing in your build—we’re here to help you keep your ride running like it should.

What Makes Us Different:

  • Transparency is the baseline. We’ll walk you through every recommendation and never talk down to you.

  • Talk to the techs working on your car. We’ll show you the ‘why’ behind every repair—not just the invoice.

  • Driven by quality, not quotas. We don’t cut corners, and we won’t waste your time.

  • Performance-minded. We get enthusiast cars because we are car enthusiasts.
