Under the Bus Auto brings auto repair and maintenance to driveways, ranches and job sites in Penrose. We are based in Canon City, about 12 miles west, so Penrose sits well inside our regular Fremont County service area. Instead of arranging a tow or losing half a day driving to a shop in Canon City, Pueblo or Colorado Springs, you call us and we come to the vehicle.
Why a Mobile Mechanic Makes Sense in Penrose
Penrose is a commuter community. Many residents drive Highway 115 to Colorado Springs or US 50 to Canon City, Florence or Pueblo every workday, and those miles add up quickly on brakes, tires, fluids and suspension parts. Getting a car serviced usually means taking time off work, finding a ride, and leaving the vehicle at a shop for a day or more.
A mobile mechanic removes that step. We perform the work where the vehicle is parked, whether that is your home, your property outside town, or your employer’s lot. You keep your day, and you can see exactly what we are doing and why.

Work Trucks, Ranch Vehicles and Small Fleets
Penrose has a mix of agricultural properties, trucking and small businesses, and those operations depend on vehicles that are running when they are needed. We service light-duty trucks, diesel pickups and work vehicles on site, and we can set up a recurring maintenance schedule so oil changes, brake inspections and seasonal checks happen before something breaks. We also repair trailers on site, including axles, equalizers, brakes, wiring, 7-way plugs, lights, tires and deck boards. Learn more about our fleet maintenance services and mobile trailer repair.
Getting Penrose Vehicles Ready for Winter
Highway 115 and the open stretches of US 50 can turn icy and windy without much warning in winter. Before cold weather sets in, we recommend a battery load test, a check of antifreeze strength, wiper blades and washer fluid rated for freezing temperatures, tire tread and pressure, and a brake inspection. Our winter vehicle maintenance page explains what we check and why.
