A friend recommended that I take it to Sparky's and I'm glad I did. The staff and crew got on it right away. They provided me with diagnostic information.

The dealership in ABQ was telling me they had openings in January and I was on a road-trip and I'm sure they would have quoted me a ridiculous price- even a few hundred just to run an OBDII scan. Thanks you Monica, Tony, and everyone at Sparky's.

I made an appointment to get the air-conditioning fixed after speaking with this business about…read morepricing, but they couldn't get me in for a week. Dropped it off first thing in the morning. I have an appointment time and after a couple hours just called to check in and say hey and what's going on with it and Lady told me that he was out getting a test drive.. I assumed at that point that the car was done and ready to be picked up so I proceeded back over to the shop. Upon arriving, I see the car parked in the back lot right up against a trashcan, pinning it against the building. It actually damaging the trash trashcan.. which means they don't take proper care of customer vehicles. At this point, I asked if it was ready to go and the lady said it actually never even was seen yet so I decided I was gonna drive back across town and come back later to pick it up. halfway home. I get a phone call letting me know that the service advisor person was gonna get on the phone with me and proceeded to tell me that the inspection was done. Everything was good. They just needed to do the Eva and refrigerant.. I asked well OK how much is it gonna be fingering it? The back is $30. The inspection is free. Refrigerant should only be a little bit so I still looking at probably 100 bucks or less.. the guy proceeds to tell me it'd be almost $300 which blew my mind. I said no thank you went back to pick up the car and I also asked the service manager lady upfront with the deal was because pricing was confirmed on the phone when I made the appointment a week prior as well as in the morning when I dropped the car off. I was told that it was a miscommunication on their end, which makes no sense to me because it's a pretty straightforward procedure and cost. The only variable is the amount of refrigerant put in the vehicle. I proceed to drive the car over and drop it off at big old tires and they did it for $150 total. As an added, plus this whole experience, I ended up ruining a nice shirt and getting grease all over my hands because they got greased all over the inside of my car and the steering wheel. Just had the car cleaned the day before. Just be beside myself!

She even mentioned a coffee shop & a bakery outlet near by. I had brought a book so I was good to go. Perry called me 45min later telling me I needed a pressure test on the AC system, quoted a price for the testing to troubleshoot. I agreed & waited. After they spent quite awhile on the vehicle charging the AC with a dye to check for leaks. Perry came out to inform me I had a leak down in the core areaof the engine. It was in a area that would require dropping the transmission & some other tight areas. He was honest and straightforward about how big this job. He was rock solid with the fact they were not equipped to do this job. His honesty was impressive. Even if they couldn't fix it he was able to make recommendations to who could & explained the cost. I noticed a lot of seniors using this place, even ask one gentleman about the place. He said "I have been coming here for 50yrs that says it all". Even though they didn't fit the AC I know what is wrong, price was less than a hundred for all the investigation to find the problem, & a solution was presented. I highly recommend this place

But this is what blew me away. Not the alternator, but replacing the engine-cover plastic clips that were missing before I brought my Rav in. Did they have to do that, of course not. Did they charge me? No. Did they mention them? No. That got me thinking of the time before I brought my 2008 in. Although they addressed the light configuration on the dash as planned, I believe they also addressed replacing batteries on my TPS sensor system for the tires. Again, did they charge me. No. Did they tell me? No. Conjecture on my part - as this light hasn't come on for the last several thousand miles; but I believe they replaced the batteries to quietly show off their exemplary service. Without saying a word. To say that they've earned my loyalty is an understatement. I wholeheartedly give my highest recommendation and respect to Japanese Car Care.

Saw some good reviews online and thought i would swing by Larry's Service Center first after making a few phone calls to check around the auto shops in town the next morning. When I first passed by the shop, I completely missed it as it is not conspicuous. All garages were closed with only a small "open" sign tucked between the windows. I had to make a U-turn and pulled up the back of the building, yet don't see any open garages. I pulled up the side of the building and walked in the door and was stumped for a moment when greeted by an elderly couple and a child. I thought I was in the wrong shop until I met Alfred in the adjacent service area. After talking to Alfred about the problem, he checked the battery's voltage and did an OBD scan. The battery is ok, and the OBD codes narrow the issue to the alternator. Alfred gave me the costs to replace the alternator, new and remanufactured. I was skeptical at first and asked Alfred to check the connections since I just had the drive belt removed for oil pump leak service before the road trip. I was concerned that the previous mechanic may not have reconnected properly. Alfred checked and didn't see any issue with the connections. Not wanting to risk another 1,500 miles around NM and back to CA, I went with the new alternator, but the new alternator turned out to be defective after installation and had to be swapped out with a remanufactured one, which was the only option at that time. I waited in the shop for both the alternator replacements, which were done swiftly. Alfred charged me for the remanufactured alternator cost and the labor is reasonable. Coming from California, I am pleasantly surprised to find such a family-oriented, personable auto shop in Bernalillo. Alfred took the time to look at my vehicle and accommodated me between several cars that he was working on to get me back on the road right before Christmas. I am glad I didn't judge the shop by the outward look, the inside is packed with over half a century of auto repair experience and as much sophisticated tools as the love of the family working together to serve the Bernalillo area. I made my way to White Sand and Carlsbad and back in California without a hitch after the repair thanks to Alfred.

I had enough trust in him/them that I called for advice from miles and miles away just to get their opinion.
