Hello Mile High Chapter,
I will be driving shortly from Ontario, Canada in my S2K and spending a few weeks in the Fort Collins area. I will likely need to get an oil change and possibly other servicing while in the area and am looking for input into recommendations of dealers in the area.
I have read with interest the thread about the Yellowstone run and might be able to join in for the last leg of the run towards Fort Collins.

I live in Fort Collins and run the local NAPA store so I'll make a few recommendations where to take your car.
I'd recommend, in no particular order:
Houska Automotive
899 Riverside Ave
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-482-0156
Mountainview Goodyear
221 E. Mountain
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-482-9533
Lundstedt Automotive
1401 E. Lincoln Ave
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-221-9400
There is more these are the first to come to mind. Also depending on what side of town your staying on I can recommend more in different parts of town.
Whenever I have taken my car to a shop, it's been to Houska's. I've had them do some oil changes when I didn't have time, alignments, and change the tranny fluid.
If your set on going to a dealer, there is just one in Ft. Collins:
Markley Motors
3401 S. College Ave
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-226-2216
Let me know if you need any more info. Hopefully you'll be able to attend one of our local drives also.

I hope you will have time to meet up with some of us here in the Fort.
The number of s2000 owners are truly growing.
I have a buddy who works as a mechanic. He does good work for a very resonable price. Let me know if you are interested once you arrive.

Thanks guys for the information and welcome, I'm looking forward to the trip. Keep a lookout for me, the Ontario plates are a dead giveaway. I'll try and make it to the last leg of the Yellowstone run. Got any favorite golf courses?

If you are willing to drive about an hour south of Fort Collins, I HIGHLY recommend Fossil Trace. It is an amazing golf course and reasonable priced for the quality. Hard to get a tee time, so make sure to call several days in advance. http://www.fossiltrace.com/

Thanks for all the information, ya, I am sure that there would be many things we could talk aboot, 'eh.
Denver; Fossil Trace looks awesome, I've never played a golf hole with a length of 650 plus yards...wow! Strikes me as kind of funny as to why you would call something that size, open and basically flat...a hole.
I will be arriving late in the week and hanging aboot for close to two weeks. Long story, but my girlfriend lives in Fort Collins which brings me running (driving). Thanks again for the welcome mat. I'm looking forward to some fun drives and of course if I can do it, hook up somewhere on the last day of the Yellowstone run.
