During a decade when Dirty Dancing was invigorating a generation of hoofers, Broadway Automotive's associates began invigorating horseless carriages with knowledgeable advice and sturdy parts from name-brand manufacturers. The shop’s staff built its services around a set of core ideals, such as knowing the ins and outs of an auto’s systems, offering the right products for each repair, and figuring out the trick to turning DeLoreans into time machines. Fast-forward to today’s world, and one will still find the same values imagined at the inception of the business, now backed by an expansive stock of 300,000 parts from Accel, DC Sports, and Shop-Vac. Staff associates also offer special services for ordering out-of-stock items, which can be delivered during the shop's business hours, seven days a week.

Mountainview Tire Factory began in 1984 as a network of independent tire dealers who teamed up to find better prices for their customers. Today, they supply a chain of independently owned locations across the Western U.S. with tires from brands such as Goodyear, Kelly, and Dunlop. At each location, ASE-certified technicians specialize in the installation of both tires and wheels, and outfit every tire purchase with a warranty that includes free flat repairs for the lifespan of the tire, free rotation, and an inspection. They also perform a wide slate of maintenance services—such as oil changes, brake servicing, and electrical work—to ensure cars are healthy enough to make the most of their new rubber running shoes.

After spending 12 years working in big-box retail stores, RC Auto Detail and Carpet Cleaning founder Romia Pritchett decided to give back to the environment and local community by building a business model based on eco-friendly products and charitable acts. With her philosophies in mind, Romia’s skilled technicians sanitize carpets, upholstery, and tile through a litany of domestic cleansing services, including upholstery cleaning, carpet grooming, and floodwater removal. Her auto polishers keep vehicles of all sizes fresh inside and out with washing, waxing, vacuuming, and odor-repellent treatments during extensive detail sessions, or remove mud stains and passive-aggressive Wash Me smudges from exteriors during quick washes.

In addition to promoting unsullied domestic and mobile ecosystems with thorough cleanings, Romia and her crew maintain a strong connection to the community with memberships in Rotary International, the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, and large donations in support of local charities.
