Auto Repair Shop Closure Leaves Customers in Limbo
Littleton Auto Repair, located near West Coal Mine Avenue in the Meadows Shopping Center, has closed unexpectedly, leaving vehicles, equipment, and customers' property behind. The sudden shutdown has frustrated customers and raised questions about unreturned vehicles and missing parts.
One Customer Loses Thousands Amid Communication Breakdown
Ryan Bosworth, a former customer, recounted his experience after bringing his Jeep Grand Wagoneer to the shop in May for what he believed was a minor engine issue. By July, the shop recommended a complete engine replacement, and Bosworth said he paid over $7,000 in deposits. He had expected repairs to be completed by September, but communication from the shop ceased before work was finished. Bosworth told FOX31, “In deposits for him, just over $7,000.”
Vehicles and Parts Abandoned at the Site
After losing contact with the shop, Bosworth returned to find his Jeep without an engine or transmission. Parts from his vehicle were reportedly scattered around the property, and some later disappeared. "It was sitting over in that spot. It’s gone now. It was stolen," Bosworth told FOX31, referencing missing engine parts. Several vehicles are still parked outside the closed garage, some appearing disassembled, as well as a vehicle lift and other equipment.
Customers Seek Answers and Recourse
Bosworth said he had his Jeep towed home and spoke to a sheriff’s deputy about retrieving his vehicle from the shop's premises, but no theft report has been officially filed. According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, there were no reports associated with the shop’s location. Bosworth has reached out to connect with other customers who lost money or property due to the repair shop closure. He said he is open to pursuing a class-action lawsuit, stating, “I think anyone who has lost money here or has been left in a lurch, if we can put something together, is this enough for a class action.” He encourages others affected by the closure to contact him via Facebook to discuss their experiences and options.
Unanswered Questions Surround Business Shutdown
FOX31 has contacted the owner of Littleton Auto Repair and the landlords of the Meadows Shopping Center seeking information about the reasons for the business closure, the status of remaining vehicles, and whether customers will be notified about how to retrieve their property. As of the latest update, FOX31 is still awaiting responses from both parties. The circumstances behind the closure remain unverified.
Ongoing Concerns Among Auto Repair Customers
The situation at Littleton Auto Repair has left numerous auto repair customers concerned about lost money, abandoned vehicles, and missing equipment. With official investigations still pending and many questions unanswered, those affected continue to seek solutions and legal guidance as they navigate this unexpected shutdown.
