Fueled by Passion. Backed by Racing Experience
Meet Mike
Our fearless leader, Mike, has been hooked on horsepower since he was 17—engines, exhaust fumes, and everything in between. Early on, he landed his first wrench-turning gig with IndyCar legend Michael Andretti as part of the Newman/Haas Racing pit crew—no big deal. Afterward, he moved into the dealership world, where he quickly discovered the downside of corporate car care: endless quotas, upsells, and pressure that left little room for quality or connection.
Because of that, Mike decided to take a different path. In 2009, he founded Arvada German Garage to bring honesty, precision, and true enthusiasm back to European car service. However, his passion for performance and racing never faded. So he launched Arvada Motorsports—a place where that same racing-world precision meets the high-end European automotive scene. Today, his vision continues to drive our shop forward. And if Mike can keep an IndyCar alive at 200 mph, you can trust your vehicle is in the very best hands.
Driven by Experience. Built for Enthusiasts.
Founded in 2023, Arvada Motorsports was created by passionate European car experts with decades of experience in high-end vehicle repair and performance tuning. Building on the legacy of Arvada German Garage, a trusted name in Colorado since 2009, our shop continues that tradition of precision, care, and craftsmanship. Today, we specialize in Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo service, combining dealership-level skill with a personal, customer-focused approach.
Because we’ve seen how impersonal and rushed the dealership world can be, we wanted to do something different. At Arvada Motorsports, every job is completed with careful attention to detail. We take the time to do the work right, build genuine relationships, and treat every car like it’s our own. As a result, if you’re looking for trusted European auto repair in Arvada, you’ve found a team that truly delivers.
