About Us

Putting A Legacy of Pride in YOUR Ride.

Since 1989 the Pridemore name has provided outstanding customer service and exceptional vehicle repairs to customers around the Denver Metro area. The Pridemore name has a reputation that speaks for itself from oil changes and engine replacements, all the way to community involvement and philanthropic initiatives.

For the last 30 years the Pridemore brothers (Al, Darrell, Vince & Dwight) built a company that focused on family, transparency, trustworthy services, no hassle automotive repairs and going above and beyond for the community and the customers they served.

Vision Statement
Our vision is to be the undisputed leader in the automotive repair industry for all makes and models. Renowned for our expertise, innovation, reliability, and dedication to customer satisfaction within our communities.

Caitlyn & Kermit Pridemore are second generation automotive repair business owners that take their reputation and upbringing seriously within this ever-changing industry. These two were born to be cousins, but even better than that, they were born to be friends, business owners, & servant leaders to others.

Caitlyn & Kermit worked alongside their fathers & Uncles and helped mold & transform a 6-location automotive business that had locations in Parker, Littleton, Centennial, Denver & Longmont. Working for the family business for 8+ years in multiple capacities led these two hard working individuals to honed in on their individual talents and they grew into high executive positions directly under their family members. Once the company was sold to a larger firm in 2023, Kermit & Caitlyn stayed on with the new company to make sure the growth and leadership was maintained. However, both Kermit & Caitlyn quickly realized that their passion for people, for growth, innovation, their communities, and doing right by the customer far surpassed the desire to build within a large corporation.

By 2024 Caitlyn & Kermit formed their own LLC and began searching for their next step. They both knew their passion was made for small business, growing organically & ethically, and continuing the LEGACY that they grew up in. Caitlyn & Kermit took a leap of faith and purchased Smoky Hill Auto (SHA) on June 28, 2024. SHA has been around for 30+ years and Craig Fisher truly built a wonderful shop. We could not be more thankful for the opportunity to continue Craigs legacy as well as our own.
