Auto Repair Backed by Experience
Your One-Stop Shop for Complete Car Care
Welcome to Top Dog Repair and Towing! We are a family-run business proudly providing expert towing, repair, and maintenance services for trucks, heavy equipment, and snowplows in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Your experience with us begins with a digital inspection, allowing us to assess the health of your vehicle or equipment. This helps us identify your needs and establish a baseline for necessary repairs to keep you on the road. After the inspection, we will provide you with a detailed quote for each repair recommendation. If you choose to proceed with the recommended repairs, we will credit the cost of your inspection toward the total.
We also offer a fleet program where we collaborate closely with various businesses in the valley, from large to small, to ensure their fleet vehicles and equipment perform at their best, helping them to stay on the road and generate revenue. Top Dog also has certified technicians who are qualified to provide all DOT vehicles with their required annual inspections.
