Jay’s Automotive in Eaton, CO, is a premier, multi-bay automotive repair facility and corporate office, one that perfectly pairs advanced service capabilities with a highly functional headquarters for office and shop staff.

Completed by Clark Enterprises Construction in 2025, the 21,500-square-foot facility represents Jay and Amy Wood’s vision for top-of-the-line automotive service. Measuring 80 ft. by 255 ft. on a 4.82-acre site, the building was designed and engineered to accommodate the diverse, complex service needs of modern cars and trucks, including heavy commercial vehicles.

Thanks to its versatile design, comprehensive features, and unique mix of construction details, the project earned recognition as a finalist in the 2025 Behlen Building of the Year contest.

Jay’s Automotive features an inviting 30-ft-by-30-ft customer entrance sheltered by an attached canopy, leading into a two-story office space designed to support the workflow of the office and front-line service staff. The space includes a full kitchen, bathrooms, and a spacious break room. The metal siding incorporated the company’s colors.

To support today’s comprehensive automotive service for the Eaton area, the shop floor includes 14 two-lift bays, a dedicated alignment bay, and a specialized ADAS system bay for calibrating modern vehicle automation technologies. Every bay has direct access to water, welding-supported electrical service, and air hose service, plus Ethernet connections for downloading service-related software programs.

The layout also includes a modular four-point lift area for commercial trucks and other oversized vehicles, as well as dedicated rooms for air compressors and tool storage. Energy-efficient Airius fan systems were installed across both the office and shop areas to optimize climate control.

Architecturally, the project prioritized maximizing clear-span interior space for ultimate workflow flexibility, maximizing natural light, and seamlessly integrating a vehicle exhaust ventilation system.

One of Jay’s Automotive’s core values is demonstrating its commitment to the Eaton community by providing exceptional service and repairs that exceed expectations. Inside and out, Clark Enterprises Construction Group constructed a facility designed to honor and fulfill that commitment.
