The people at Zerby Automotive are exceptionally competent, professional and just plain nice. My experience with Zerby was excellent. We had a problem with our Volvo as we were crossing the Rockies. Far from home and without a clue, we were lucky enough to find Zerby Automotive. They fit us into their schedule that day, figured out the problem, and did not even charge us!!! Who does that? I highly recommend Zerby and only wish they were located in my town.

I was looking for a garage to bring our vehicles to when we moved to town. We have brought all three of our vehicles there over the last year for various reasons and we are always happy with the price and service. They make you feel part of the family and well taken care of. They are everything we wanted for our automotive care and more!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Kevin and Jodie Zerby run a great business. Fair, and competitive pricing. They take really good care of their customers.

Patricia B.
This shop is BEYOND Five-Star Great. Awesome and informed caring customer service. They will work with you to make sure you are receiving the best they have to offer. Above and beyond my expectations. Getting Front End RV repairs while traveling can be tough, they made it easy. I felt very comfortable and content. I will definitely give them more business, when i return next season. No other shop makes you feel as good as this shop makes you feel. Their work is accurate, to spec and very reasonably priced.

Zerby has been absolutely amazing. Every time I take a vehicle to them, they are fast, efficient, and honest. They are the only ones in town I trust with my classic car and the first ones I think of with a car emergency. Everyone I?ve ever talked to there is super nice and the option of their shuttle service is super convenient. Highly recommend.

Joseph G.
I love Zerby Auto! Just got my 1983 Ford Ranger back from Kevin and crew and it is running as good as when I first drove it out of the Ford dealership 31 years ago. This auto shop is caring, helpful and just great people...all around great people. Zerby's have even picked our vehicle up from the house and delivered it back to the house when we needed it. I and my family/friends have been dealing with Zerby Auto for 30+ years and hope to be doing so for the next 30+ years. If you have a vehicle and you want it to be well taken care of...then you will have to send it to Zerby Auto...When you get it back you will be glad you sent it to Kevin and his Crew. Ron is just a pleasure to talk about your vehicle problem with.

Anne Hanson - Westcliffe Colorado
I have used Zerby Automotive to take car of my cars for years and I have to say they have always done a good job for me. Just yesterday, they repaired the clutch in my wife's Miata. I am not one to sit down and write reviews, but Keven, Ron, and all of the staff do such a great job I just had to tell the world!

Allan Tormohlen - Canon City, CO
All of the staff is very helpful and informative of my vehicle needs. They go above and beyond to find the best solution and the best price for my vehicle's repairs. Thank you Zerby!

Dawn Loveless - CO
I don't want anybody else working on my car. When I have something done, I know it'll be done right. Plus, I like the fact of the warranty they have on their work. Great people to do business with.

Rosetta Addyman - Canon City, CO
Always dependable, courteous, and prompt. We are so glad you are there to take care of us.

Bud Gentry
I feel like I can trust you to do what is needed & not what will make you more money.

Carol Nunn - Canon City, CO
I always receive excellent service at Zerby's. This time they found a nail in one of my tires which could have been a problem. I really appreciated them going above and beyond especially since I was only getting a basic oil change.

Gail Samson - Canon City, CO
I know before I drop off a vehicle that I'll get the best, most courteous service in town!

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
