About 5th Gear Auto

Fifth Gear Auto Service Inc. is owned and operated by Andy Eberstadt who started this business in 1982 in a small 3 bay shop located in Northglenn.

After relocating his shop several times to grow with his increasing customer base, Andy decided to locate 5th GearAutomotive in his totally new from-the-ground-up auto service structure in early 2001. Andy's passion has always been to serve vehicle owners who value quality and integrity. His business philosophy is founded on the principles of honest pay for honest work.
