He knew he could do it as good—or better—than anyone else.

Dutch
Technician
I've been a proud member of the Automotive Authorities team for 9 years, where I specialize in Diesels and Diagnostics. In 2024, I achieved my ASE Master Technician certification, a milestone that reflects my commitment to the highest standards of automotive repair. Originally from Cody, Wyoming—right at the East Gate of Yellowstone—I bring that rugged, mountain-town work ethic to every vehicle that enters my bay.
Outside the shop, I’m a world traveler. I’ve visited 12 different countries and even spent two months living in Costa Rica working on a remote organic farm through the WWOOF program. When I’m back home in the States, my favorite way to unwind is jumping on my motorcycle and hitting the road whenever the weather allows!
Preston
Technician
I have been an ASE Master Technician with eight certifications since 1996, marking nearly three decades of elite-level automotive service. On top of my Master ASE status, I also have been a Nissan Master Technician since 2007, bringing a specialized, factory-trained depth of knowledge to our team that is truly rare in the industry.
When I hang up my wrench for the day, I swap horsepower for the real thing. I spend my free time managing my Hobby Farm, enjoying the pace of life that comes with working the land and caring for his animals.
Andy
Service Advisor
I've been in the industry for 28 years. 26 of those years as a Technician, these last two years as a service writer. As a Technician I liked being able to solve and fix issues on customers' vehicles and to get them back on the road safely. I always said that I could never see myself being behind a desk, but now that I am. I am enjoying it very much.
When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, working on my RC trucks and doing archery.
Joe
Service Advisor
I’ve been in the automotive industry for 12 years, but my education started much earlier. I grew up at my father’s side, learning the ropes on our family vehicles before eventually building my own first two cars: a 1969 Nova and a 1974 CJ5. I began my professional career as a Service Writer in Wisconsin at age 18. After a brief hiatus, I returned to my passion when I moved to Colorado six years ago. Since then, I’ve served as a Service Manager for both major national chains and local shops right here in Longmont.
When I’m not at the shop, my wife and I are usually off the grid. We love camping and hiking with our dogs in the Colorado wilderness. You might be surprised to learn that I’m also a scuba diver—I especially love exploring the clear, chilly waters of our high-altitude mountain lakes!
Sam
Automotive Technician
Sam has been passionate about cars since high school, when he first started tinkering with vehicles. With five years of experience as an automotive technician, he brings hands.. on knowledge and a genuine interest in all things automotive to the team. He’s been part of our team for the past six months!
When he’s not working on cars, Sam enjoys drifting and spending time with his cat. He also has a big heart for his neighborhood and community and enjoys finding ways to lend a helping hand.
Sam may be a man of few words, but his passion for cars and his willingness to help others speak for themselves. We’re happy to have him on the team!
Logan
Automotive Technician
Logan has always enjoyed working on cars and, especially, the challenge of solving problems and figuring out what makes each vehicle tick. With eight years of experience as an automotive technician, he brings valuable knowledge and problem-solving skills to the Automotive Authorities team. He is also ASE Certified in Brakes and Suspension, demonstrating his commitment to his craft.
Outside of the shop, Logan enjoys creating digital art and heading out on off-road adventures with his wife. When he’s not exploring the trails, he loves spending time with his dog and two cats.
We’re proud to have Logan on the team and appreciate the experience, dedication, and passion he brings to helping our customers get back on the road!
