Windsor native Sean Pike, owner of Pike’s Auto Care Center at 728 Main Street (970-686-8473) remembers his dad’s advice: always give back to the community. Guided by this principle, Sean and his wife, Jessica are avid supporters of local charities and nonprofit organizations, raising money for community events and even setting aside funds to help community members who cannot afford car repairs.
Sean’s commitment to Windsor runs deep, stemming from his childhood. Growing up watching his father’s work in the community, Sean absorbed the importance of contributing back to the area. Sean knew from a young age that community involvement was key. His father’s legacy in Northern Colorado also instilled in Sean a sense of responsibility toward the local economy and a passion for helping businesses thrive. As a 30-year automotive industry veteran, Sean recalls the influence his parents had in the community when they moved to Windsor in 1968. Not only the trusted dry cleaners of the area, but his father was a part of Kodak's market expansion into Northern Colorado, creating numerous jobs in the local economy. This longstanding commitment to the area has allowed Sean and Pike’s Auto Care Center to remain a trusted, reputable business in the region attracting people even from long distances for their auto service needs. Jessica agrees that because Sean has been local to the community for his entire life it has allowed him to build loyal, well-established relationships, making him a natural choice for an auto care provider.
Among other auto care needs, Pike’s Auto Care Center prides itself on the service they provide to their fleet customers. Prioritizing timeliness, they recognize the importance of getting fleet vehicles repaired and back on the road. After all, a company can’t afford to have their vehicles down as that means their technicians are down as well. As a courtesy, Pike’s Auto Care Center offers a vehicle for use while repairs are being done, but the speed of service is still emphasized. Investment in adequate technicians and equipment to handle the variety of needs, especially with fleets, allows Pike’s to maintain efficiency and affordability in addition to minimal turn-around time. Pike’s is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and an extensive inventory of parts, ensuring that every repair is done with precision and proficiency. Their team of skilled technicians is trained in the latest automotive technologies, allowing them to provide the best service possible. Their focus remains on continuing to streamline and improve on what they’ve always done rather than breaking into any new fields. This commitment to quality service is why local businesses trust Pike’s Auto Care Center to keep their fleets running smoothly.
Sean and Jessica’s most recent collaboration, their union as husband and wife, has afforded them numerous opportunities to support each other both in business and their personal lives. Jessica is among the top 5% producing real estate agents in Northern Colorado. As business owners, they both understand the demands that come from being entrepreneurs. They appreciate being able to share challenges and bounce ideas off each other. The fact that Jessica’s job is not a 9-5 affords them both opportunities to help with family schedules. Their combined efforts have boosted the impact of both Pike’s Auto Care Center and Jessica’s Remax business (970-631-2997) through the number of relationships they both bring to the mix. Jessica’s former association with a large property management company gives her access to numerous vendors that she has been able to refer to Pike’s. Alternatively, Sean is able to refer friends and investment associates to Jessica. He has great appreciation for Jessica’s reputation and the way she conducts her business as it has earned her regular repeat business. Beyond supporting each other’s businesses, their partnership is based on mutual trust, respect, and shared interests. In addition to their continued investment of time and staying current on business trends, Sean and Jessica look forward to the merging of their families under one roof, prompting a move in the near future.
Sean and Jessica’s dedication to Windsor and each other is an inspiring example of what it means to be community-minded entrepreneurs. Whether it’s through Pike’s Auto Care Center or Jessica’s real estate expertise, their focus on giving back has helped shape the region.
