THORNTON, CO - September 19, 2026 - Alternative Auto Care, the family-owned auto repair shop at 12111 Grant St in Thornton, CO, is heading into 2027 with its 30th anniversary in sight. The shop was founded in November 1997 by Dale Baca, a Honda-trained technician who left dealership life to build something of his own, with his wife Shelly finding the small rented space that became their first shop.
Nearly three decades later, Alternative Auto Care is still a family operation. Dale and Shelly run the business together, their son works as a service advisor, their daughter is also part of the team, and their grandsons help out around the shop and property. For many customers, the shop has become a familiar part of their lives across generations- the kind of relationship built on knowing people by name and treating every customer like family.
