There are few things as satisfying as a brand-new car. Clean and pristine, untouched dials and buttons, and that unmistakable smell that marks the beginning of a long-term relationship between you and your four-wheeled friend. Our readers agree that no one does it quite like Flatirons Subaru — when it comes to rolling off the lot in a shiny new whip, they’ve got you covered.

Used cars tell a story — under the hood are miles and miles of adventure, from Sunday drives to crosscountry exploration. Flatirons Subaru’s vast array of used cars is where our readers go when they’re ready for new adventures in a preowned car. With a number of financing options and incentives available, why would you go anywhere else?

AUTO SERVICE/REPAIR HOSHI MOTORS

2907 55th St., Unit 1, Boulder, 303-449-6632

Silver: Super Rupair

Bronze: Fisher Honda/Acura

Time and time again, our readers turn to Hoshi Motors for their automotive repair needs. Perhaps it’s the staff’s commitment to a thorough, complete maintenance job every time a vehicle rolls into the shop. It could also be their willingness to service Subaru, Acura, Toyota and Honda — the most common makes in our county. We bet it’s a combination of all of the above.

BICYCLE SHOP FULL CYCLE & COLORADO MULTISPORT

2355 30th St., Boulder, 303-440-1002

Silver: University Bicycles

Bronze: Community Cycles

When Russ Chandler, owner of Full Cycle Bikes, joined forces with Colorado Multisport, it was a commitment to being a hub for one of our community’s cherished pastimes. Unwavering dedication to independence, a wonderful space at 30th and Pearl, an inventory of the best gear cycling has to offer, and a full-service watering hole serving beer and coffee (Tune Up Bar & Coffee Shop) — it should come as little surprise that our readers voted Full Cycle & Colorado Multisport number one.
