How we started and what we are about...

Automotive Evolution opened in 2017, taking over a pre-existing shop called Rocky Mountain Roos, which had been in business since 2007.  We here at Auto Evo believe in making the automotive repair experience more comfortable and enjoyable and we have been modeling this shop on our other successful shop, Lube and Latte.  While we maintain our predecessor's Subaru focus, we have also expanded into all makes and models of cars and are moving toward the Hybrid and Electric vehicle repair that is the future of our industry. We continue to expand our offerings which now include in-house engine rebuilding and custom exhaust.

Lakewood Muffler & Brake

In 2018 Adam and Nicole Weller came on board at Automotive Evolution bringing with them their great customers and expansive knowledge of custom exhaust and diesel repair.   Their business, Lakewood Muffler and Brake, is now integrated into Automotive Evolution and continues to serve customers in the unique and friendly way it always has, but with greater resources and staffing than ever in its history.

Raina Wedeward
The staff at Automotive Evolution were truly wonderful to work with and serviced my car with quality workmanship. I felt taken care of, not advantage of. They did a major transmission swap in my car and made a situation that would usually be a pain into one that I am thankful for. They are a great choice for your Subie!
