Since humble beginnings in 1927 as a gas and grocery store in Rush (CO), W.R. Book bought a Texaco service station in 1939.
Book’s Automotive continues to operate at the highest standards, complementing its auto repair services by employing superior ASE-Certified Technicians.
Owner Ron Book says the difference at Book’s Automotive is a long-standing commitment to quality car repair service to Fountain and the local area.
When Book’s Automotive was established in 1939, founder W.R. Book became known for going to the extreme to take care of his customers, and it’s the same commitment to service that his son, Ron, carries on today in Fountain (CO).


Since humble beginnings in 1927 as a gas and grocery store in Rush (CO), W.R. Book bought a Texaco service station in 1939. Over time, he grew a few more auto repair locations spanning southern Colorado and eventually sold the other auto repair shops, except for Fountain — where a converted A&W Root Beer Stand served as the car repair shop and continues operations today.
Book’s Automotive continues to operate at the highest standards, complementing its auto repair services with rides from work and home, providing a free written estimate for car repairs, and employing superior ASE-Certified Technicians.
A full-service Fountain auto repair shop, Book’s Automotive maintains small-town, personal charm while still providing professional, efficient auto repair services and guarantees on vehicle repairs for 36 months or 36,000 miles on parts and labor.
Ron Book and a team of ASE-Certified Technicians have the knowledge to repair issues on all makes and models of domestic and import vehicles. Call (719) 382-5691 to set up an appointment for auto repair service and check-ups.
