Tyree Dolif

Owner & ASE Certified Technician
Tyree has always loved cars. He came to his mom one day when he was short of fifteen years of age, and asked her for an old ford truck; a 1958 to be exact. Her response was a little hesitant. She wanted to know how much and laid the ground rules that he could tinker with it, but couldn't drive it until he was sixteen. This sparked the love of cars that would grow into a career as he aged. By the age of 18 he had owned five cars. During his last years of high school, Tyree enrolled himself in a Vo-Tech school where he completed welding courses to become certified. After graduation he went on to work at Nestle Purina Dog Chow to pay his way through Automotive schooling for the next two years, then Tyree officially joined the automotive industry. Tyree earned eleven years of experience working with multiple independent shops, and gaining a wide variety of knowledge about every automobile make and model, making sure not to limit himself. Now married and having a family, Tyree has built a business that he hopes to one day pass along to his child. Tyree continues to expand his automotive repair knowledge by taking multiple Automotive Service Excellence courses and exams, priding himself on becoming an ASE Certified Technician. The Automotive Repair industry is still Tyree's passion, and he carries his love for cars into his personal life with camping, 4-wheeling, and racing with family and friends.

I was born in Denver, raised in Aurora. I love old American muscle cars. I like the look (inside and out) and not much can beat that deep, throaty rumble of a classic muscle car, chefs kiss! I have one dog, a German Shepherd named Luna. She is a complete lunatic so the name is fitting. I also have an unhealthy obsession with reading, tattoos, music and horror (spooky season is the best)!

I am from Denver and since I was young, I've always had an interest in all different kinds of vehicles and what makes them tick. I still have that passion and interest to this day. I also like doing things outdoors whenever possible. I am married with three children and multiple grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

I love music, CrossFit and being outside in Colorado. I've always loved cars, but I really enjoy repairing them the right way for people who love their cars too.

I'm a Native to Colorado and was raised in Thornton. Grew up helping in the families garage with many different generations. I eventually worked up to whole car builds for the weekends at the racetrack, and that's where I found the love for cars. I enjoy fishing and trips to the mountains.

I am originally from Mexico and have resided in Colorado now for 18 years. I find cars interesting because they are delicate machines regardless of their thought exterior. Something unique about me is that I can touch my tongue to my nose!
