What Causes Vehicle Damage in Olde Town Arvada and the Surrounding Area
Diagonal parking on Olde Wadsworth Boulevard causes door damage daily. The diagonal spots along Wadsworth in front of restaurants and shops like D'Deli and the Arvada Tavern put vehicles at an angle that makes door-to-door contact almost inevitable. A neighboring driver opening their door into the fender while you are parked near one of the restaurants happens so frequently we hear from Olde Town drivers about it every week. Paint scuffed to bare metal in Arvada's dry climate starts to rust faster than most owners expect.
Ralston Road narrows near the train tracks and produces consistent fender-benders. Vehicles stopping at the tracks create sudden deceleration that catches following traffic off guard. Rear-end contacts on this stretch are a regular occurrence. Front bumper damage, cracked grilles and damaged sensors are the typical result. Tom usually gets the call before the tow company does on Ralston Road incidents.
The roundabout near the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities catches unfamiliar drivers off guard. The parking lot behind the Arvada Center has concrete curbing at the ends of forward-pull spaces that clips front bumpers and lower valances regularly. It is the kind of damage that does not look serious until you see the cracked plastic and exposed paint. We perform color-matched repairs on vehicles from this location consistently.
Grandview Avenue's mature trees create debris damage year-round. The large established trees lining Grandview Avenue between Yukon and Wadsworth drop branches in windstorms and create low-speed scrape hazards for vehicles parked underneath. The same streets that provide summer shade leave vehicles vulnerable to scratches across rooflines and cracked side glass. Hail storms that roll through this corridor also hit vehicles parked in the older homes on Grandview with no covered parking.

DIRECTIONS
How to Get to SVE Autobody From Arvada
Route 1. Via Wadsworth North (recommended)
Head north on Olde Wadsworth Boulevard from Olde Town, passing the water tower and Grandview Avenue. Continue north to the 64th Avenue intersection and turn right heading east to Sheridan Boulevard. This is the most direct route and keeps you off the interstate entirely. Normal traffic puts you at SVE in about 12 minutes. Rush hour on Ralston Road near the creek trail may add a few minutes but the total drive rarely exceeds 18 minutes.
Route 2. Via Kipling Street North
From the Grandview Avenue area head west to Kipling Street and north. This route passes the Arvada Center and connects to 80th Avenue as you enter Broomfield. It avoids the Wadsworth and 72nd Avenue intersection which gets congested around 5:00 PM. SVE's Broomfield location is on the northern edge of the Arvada area. We receive a significant volume of vehicles from Olde Town every week. Tom can confirm directions and the best drop-off timing when you call (303) 466-6717.
