Rather than working out of a shop, the mobile staff at iDetail cleans vehicles wherever clients want them to, whether in a home driveway or an office parking lot. The crew offers detailing packages that range from washes and vacuums to comprehensive cleans—complete with leather conditioning, chrome polish, and a Teflon sealant that safeguards paint jobs. Technicians can augment their detail work with à la carte services, such as touching up paint, tinting windows, or removing odors caused by limburger-scented air fresheners.

The technicians at Xtreme Auto Soundz customize vehicles to customer specifications with expert audio- and video-installation services that earned them the Denver Award in 2011 and 2012 for Automobile Radio & Stereo Sales & Service. The crew hooks riders up with full stereo systems, including amps, speakers, and subwoofers from name brands, with custom wood mounting for large speakers so they remain stable and don’t thump into a passing band’s tour bus. Technicians plant video monitors, navigation, and gaming systems in headrests, dashboards, and the ceiling. In addition to audio and visual installation, they also install Xenon headlights to help drivers improve their car’s stylishness and their nighttime visibility. All of Xtreme Auto Soundz’s work comes with a lifetime warranty.

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.

Cars are made to travel. But after a long trip overseas and miles of maneuvering American roads, import vehicles still require their own brand of service. That's where Automotive Specialists comes in. Specializing in Japanese imports, the shop's ASE-certified technicians reboot cars by repairing transmissions, alternators, and electrical systems. Maintenance services such as oil changes and tire rotations breathe new life into vehicles that have been slowed down by sluggish engines or ticklish tire treads.

Although the facility specializes in imports, its technicians' extensive training breeds a familiarity with all makes and models. Automotive Specialists also partners with Enterprise Rent-A-Car so that customers can commandeer a new set of wheels while their cars are being treated.

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.
