Our Story
Established in 1986 by Danny Stewart, who operated the shop for over 28 years. In 2014, ownership transitioned to Ian Stewart — Danny's son, who grew up working in the shop — and Dennis Rypkema, a longtime employee with 20+ years of experience.
The partnership is committed to maintaining the same integrity and customer service that Danny had supplied. Now in our 40th year of continuous operation, Durango Autoworks remains a family business built on trust.
