Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading parts, he heard a small voice from under the hood of the car. Peering inside, he saw a curious little pug puppy peering back at him, its tiny nose twitching as if sniffing out secrets. The delivery driver laughed and picked up the adorable pup, who wagged his tail furiously. Turns out, the little guy had crawled in through an open window during the night. A few minutes later, with the dog safely delivered to his owner—a regular customer—everyone went on their way, leaving behind only a whiff of canine adventure.

2. One day, as a mechanic was adjusting brakes in the service bay, he noticed something odd—an old newspaper clipping taped to the wall behind him. Curious, he walked over and read it aloud: ‘1987: Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs wins national award for customer satisfaction.’ But then he realized, with a laugh, that he himself had been the very first winner of that award. Soon after, an elderly gentleman came in for an oil change. The mechanic recognized him from his childhood—a regular who always brought his classic BMWs here. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man asked if they still remembered their famous award. 'Of course!' replied the mechanic, smiling. 'And guess what? We never told anyone.'

3. While a salesman was showing off new models in the showroom, an elderly gentleman approached the desk and asked if they had any used cars for sale. The salesman replied that yes, they did, but only after a brief pause, during which everyone in the room could hear an old engine starting up from somewhere nearby. The old engine grew louder, and suddenly an excited voice exclaimed, ‘That’s my baby!’ A gruff old man appeared from behind a corner, waving his keys proudly. Turns out he’d left them in his vintage BMW while delivering groceries earlier that day. Everyone laughed, including the embarrassed salesman, who later learned never to underestimate the loyalty of an aging Coloradan to their trusty ride.

4. While a sales manager was explaining the latest BMW features to a curious customer, an old dog suddenly appeared from behind the showroom wall and started sniffing around the car demonstrations. The manager looked down at the dog with a smile, realizing it must be someone’s well-trained pet. Just then, another voice called out from inside the building: ‘Hey, Rover! That’s not your BMW!’ Turns out, the dog belonged to a delivery driver who had left him snoozing in his truck while making a pickup. The whole scene ended with everyone laughing, including the befuddled canine who seemed confused but happy.
