Irish Mike, Owner

My name is Michael Johnston, and I’m the owner of Colorado Fleetworks. I was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 2012, I relocated to the United States. I possess an extensive background in mechanical and auto-related fields, having been involved in the auto industry since my teens.

My Journey To Creating Colorado fleetworks

1996 - 2006

I received formal training and worked as an auto mechanic primarily servicing diesel vehicles in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

2006

I established and managed an excavation and groundworks business in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I serviced and repaired my equipment.

2012

Upon moving to the US, I initially worked as a mechanic specializing in foreign vehicles such as Land Rovers, Sprinters, and Pinzgauers, before transitioning to servicing and repairing large commercial trucks.

2015

I ventured out independently, launching an auto mechanic business where I undertook a wide array of mechanic work, ranging from engine rebuilds to routine service and maintenance. Proficient in diagnosing and repairing both domestic and foreign, gas and diesel, personal and commercial vehicles, I also conducted light auto body work.

2016

I obtained a retail dealer license and commenced selling cars while also conducting repair work to restore cars to their original condition.

2019

My interest piqued in paintless dent removal (PDR) and hail repair. I underwent extensive one-on-one training (approximately 200 hours) with Myke Toledo, the owner of Dent Time in San Diego, CA, and further honed my skills through apprenticeship in dent removal. Actively engaged in the PDR community, I am privileged to receive substantial support from fellow PDR business owners across the nation and worldwide.

2020

I began specializing in significant van and truck repair, recognizing a growing demand for services attributable to the increased prevalence of delivery vans and the popularity surge in van life spurred by COVID. My specialization lies in Sprinter vans, although I work on all makes and models of large vans and trucks. Proficient in diagnosing issues and executing appropriate repairs, I strive for excellence in all automotive endeavors.

"For me, the automotive industry is not just an occupation but a passion. This passion drives Colorado Fleetworks to deliver the highest quality service in the auto repair industry. "
