About Us

Hometown Auto & Hardware has operated at three locations in Brush since the business was founded in 1962. We moved to our current location on Highway 34 after a fire destroyed the former store, along with all contents. Previous owner, Steve Albert, has run Hometown Auto & Hardware since 2000 and has set the standard here in Bruch.  Today the University Auto Parts & Hometown Hardware team has more than 50 years of combined experience in the industry. We are proud of all our employees and we all work hard to contintue to deliver great service to our community.
