A Colorado man has been indicted by federal authorities for allegedly selling heroi​ [heroin,](<https://futurerestored.com/losing-a-loved-one-to-addiction/>)​​​n, crystal meth, and cocaine to his customers at "Get Your Fix Automotive," an [auto repair shop](<https://threecbodyshop.com/our-services/quality-repairs/>) with a name that was just too clever for its own good.

[*The Denver Post* reports](<https://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/13/get-your-fix-automotive-illegal-drugs/>) FBI agents and local police arrested 30-year-old Daniel Vasquez last Friday in Pueblo, Colorado after a months-long sting operation, the results of which were described in a U.S. District Court indictment unsealed this week. While the ironic name is certainly a great detail, officials say Vasquez's four previous felony convictions—three on drug charges—led them to his door.

Beginning in March, undercover agents patronized[Get Your Fix](<https://thefixfix.com/>) and were able to purchase more than 50 grams of heroin and a purple handgun, capturing pictures and video of Vasquez handling the drugs while wearing a uniform with his name on it. The agents also noticed several illegal weapons on display on the shop's walls. A search warrant at Vasquez's house uncovered a 9mm Glock handgun, which he's not allowed to possess as a convicted felon.

Since no drugs were recovered at that time, authorities instead hit him with two weapons charges, meaning Vasquez faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a possibly a fine of $250,000. A District Court judge [denied him bond](<https://www.chieftain.com/news/pueblo/get-your-fix-pueblo-auto-shop-accused-of-being-a/article_3b4a2fdb-830e-570e-9d64-3ec9058a8faf.html>) on Wednesday, so in the meantime, loyal customers will have to get their fix elsewhere.
