A Visit to the New Japanese Auto Service Shop
Japanese Auto Service – 11950 W. 52nd Ave Wheat Ridge
For those of you who don’t know, the new shop for Japanese Auto Service at 11950 W. 52nd Avenue in Wheat Ridge is now open for business.
Here’s what it looks like as you approach it on 52nd Avenue, coming from Ward Road. See all the pretty flags??
Inside, it’s much roomier than the old facility. They have 9 bays so they can work on a lot more cars at once. (There’s my Honda down there getting an oil change).

Coffee at Japanese Auto Service
The new shop has blazing fast WiFi so you can “tele-commute” while they work on your car.
And they even have coffee now. It’s about time.
New Japanese Auto Service shop building going up
We’re making progress.
Check out the shell of our new shop building! We aren’t moving far . . . just east of Ward on 52nd, very close to the Wheat Ridge and Ward light rail station.
Drop your car off in the morning, head to work, and it’ll be waiting for you when you get off work.
How cool is that?

Breaking Ground on new Japanese Auto Service Shop
Japanese Auto Service is upgrading our digs. It’s been a dream of ours for a long time to have our building built specifically to our design for automotive repair. We’re talking a 7000 sq ft. shop with 8 bays!
The new shop will still be in Wheat Ridge, not far from our current shop, on the South Side of 52nd just East of Ward Rd. It is conveniently located near the parking for the light rail so you can drop your car off with us in the morning and take the light rail into work.
Construction is estimated to be complete by August – September of this year. We’ll let you know when we move in.
