My VW spent a week at the dealer and they called me with a 3000.00 estimate for oil leaks. I didn`t trust them so I took my car to The Garage for a second opinion. They repaired all my leaks for $800 (about 1/4 of the dealers estimate) and I am no longer leaving drips in my driveway. I also noticed that they have free towing too. The staff was nice and the repairs were good. I have finally found a mechanic I can tr... view moreust.

After hearing really great things about The Garage Auto Repair from several relatives and friends, I decided to give them a try. There are plenty of good things to say about this shop. My first experience with themwas a very good one . First of all, each and every employee that I dealt with was exceptionally pleasant. I initially called from the side of I-25 after my Jeep overheated. The lady who answered the p... view morehone explained the program to me and dispatched their tow truck to where I was stranded. The tow truck driver was polite and gave me a ride to the shop. My Jeep was looked at almost instantly by a mechanic. After roughly 20 minutes in their waiting room I was given an estimate. Turns out that my thermostat got stuck. While I waited, they replaced it and added new coolant. I saw my Jeep go on a 10-15 minute road test to verify that there wasn`t any other issues. My entire experience with The Garage was textbook perfect. The staff was overly nice, the price was very reasonable, and the service was impressive. One other thing worth metioning is that there was no charge for the tow. I have never been so satisfied in my life. I would go a very long way to get this customer service and craftsmanship again.

High quality repairs
Great value for the dollar. I was in the market for a new water pump for my Toyota. I phone shopped 8-10 shops in Albuquerque including the dealership and the shops claiming to be Toyota specific service centers. I instantly ruled out the really expensive guys (dealer and ""experts"") and I ruled out the cheap guys because I believe that you get what you pay for. The Garage had a decent price and they were able to ge... view moret me in the next day. They informed me that they would need my car for one full day,and to expect it back by 5:30. During the repair, I was called and advised that the technician noticed a small oil leak (I saw an occasional drip) and that for a minimal price they could remedy the problem. I picked up my car at 5:30, as promised, and there are no more leaks. My bill was exactly what I was quoted plus the additionl amount for the extra work. I was impressed with the total program and would suggest that if you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Albuquerque, give The Garage a try.

! wanted to give an accurate review of The Garage based on my visit last week. My car broke down in Rio Rancho at a grocery store on 528. I am new to the area, and my neighbor suggested The Garage. I called them to make an appointment and I was informed that they offered free towing. Within an hour, they had their tow truck at my location. I was informed that since it was late in the day, it would be the next day unt... view moreill I recieved my estimate. About 9 a.m. the next day I was informed that my timing belt broke and that there was damage to my valves. I was given a maximum price that could go down depending on the machine work I needed. This is important...... I verified their prices with several shops and the dealer. There was a cheaper shop in town, but overall, The Garage was very fair with their prices, especially when compared to the dealer. I authorized the repairs and I also popped in to check on the progress. I`ve been in several shops in my life, and the inside of The Garage was impressive (really starting to build trust at this point). It was clean and my car was at the exact stage of repairs that they told me on the phone. When I came to pick up my car, my bill was several hundred dollars LESS than my estimate. I was pleasently surprised. My car really does run better than it has in years (they tuned it up also), and overall, I am happy with the entire event. I just thought everybody needed to know about the services that they offer. Thanks, Belle G.

My diesel truck was originally towed to the dealer when it wouldnt start one night. I was quoted nearly $5000 for a list of things supposedly wrong with my truck. I made a phone call to The Garage for a price quote. Best call I have ever made! I was informed that the repairs I was quoted are not common failures and their best advice to me would be to seek a second opinion. I had The Garage tow my truck out of the dea... view moreler (for free) and had them diagnose it. They found the issue causing my truck not to start and fixed it for less than half of what the dealer quoted me. My truck runs great, and starts everytime. The Garage did a great job at a great price.

I brought my car into The Garage for a second opinion. The shop around the corner felt it necessary to give me an estimate to restore my Geo back to it`s original show room condition. I hired The Garage to simply fix what was broken, and that`s what they did. Thank you for the honest repair, and for not taking advantage of an aging cars problems. Linda.

I brought them a real lemon. I got stuck with a piece of trash from an online auction and ended up taking it to The Garage. After a very thorough inspection, they assisted me in prioritizing the needed repairs. As for right now, the car no longer quits while driving and my A/C is freezing. I`ll be fixing my car in the order that they advised me to. I was pleased with all the prices and also the service, including the... view more free tow from across town.
