I called and they were immediately helpful looked at my vehicle within the hour. I feared it would be a serious/expensive fix with the computer since I replaced my battery within the month.

Thank you Gabriel and all at The Auto Angel!

The good parts are very good -- very friendly and helpful people who give back to the community…read more Doing a comprehensive inspection on your vehicle in return for a donated bag of groceries is a really outstanding gesture of care. You get photos and detailed notes on the inspection electronically, and they also print out a list of their findings for you to have. Now for the not-so-good. The major not-good is the outrageous prices they quoted in their estimate for suggested and needed repairs. Most of the items on the list were things we could do ourselves for far less money. Some were curious -- when the key fob and interior button wouldn't open the trunk, it seems the mechanic never tried just using the manual release on the trunk itself, which works fine. Similarly, they wanted a couple hundred dollars to diagnose why the TPMS system light was flashing, but they never aired the tires up to spec or test drove the vehicle to see if the light went steady or went out. And nearly five hundred dollars to replace the battery? I'm a shade-tree mechanic from way back, and it feels insulting to be quoted exorbitant prices for things that anyone who can follow directions can do. So, if your car repairs are paid for by insurance and the adjuster approves, or if you have an unlimited car repair budget, I'm sure this shop will do a great job, and you'll love interacting with the personnel. But we have already gotten the oil changed for less than 2/3 of their quoted price, and have two quotes on some major service that would have cost literally one to two thousand dollars more at this shop, so we'll reluctantly pass on any further work there.

I was traveling up the Turquoise Trail, and about 1/2 mile outside of Madrid, my SUV quit running…read more I had been having electrical issues for about 2 miles (instrument panel was lit up like a Christmas tree). I was lucky to coast into a parking lot. Towed to Santa Fe (driver was super) and was told that I needed a new alternator within 5 minutes. I was given an estimate, which I thought was very fair, and was promised a repair by noon the next day. I offered to take Uber, but Charlie insisted that he drive me to the Hilton Santa Fe, which was a 20 minute ride! The next morning I received a call telling me that someone was on his way to get me! When I paid my bill, it was around $80. less than my initial quote! Thanks B&G!! Karen in Daytona Beach.

I was made aware when the girl I sold it to asked why it's in kilometers. My girlfriend's dad said the next day, don't worry and gave us a discount to keep the swapped speedometer.

Might be cheap but you'll probably end up having to repair the same issue later on.

I threw a Hail Mary via yelp in the Projects section and one company ignored me altogether while another flat out told me they couldn't help me. Not only did Marcos answer me very quickly on Yelp, he kept me updated on the entire process every step of the way with phone calls and text messages. I was assured they were very familiar with the 6.0 engines, which was exactly what I needed. These guys even brought their flat bed all the way to Espanola to pick up the vehicle at a very reasonable price as it wasn't in running condition at the time. The truck was done in only 3 days, and that was even with having to get a part shipped in. The overall cost was fair, in fact it was great, and you can tell these guys love their work and have a great deal of interest in these trucks. They honored some of my additional requests as well. I'll be taking my Ford to them any time I'm in need of work and would highly recommend them for any vehicle. It is now one week later and my truck is running great, I'm very happy with their work.

I c alled about an oil leak and they got me in about an hour later. The diagnosis was quick and the cost seemed a lot at first, but then I remembered it probably included the diagnosis cost.

We dropped our car off on Thursday morning, telling them that the engine code was P0017 and that it…read morewas an issue with the timing chain. We actually called them on Tuesday. So, called on Tuesday, told them about the code, and dropped the car off on Thursday. Thursday afternoon at 4, after hearing nothing, we call them. They say they won't be able to get to it until Monday because they aren't open on Fridays (no info on this on the website). Monday morning, "Ron," the "owner and manager" and also idiot, calls me to tell me that it will cost $10,000. He doesn't tell me what they diagnosed or provide any details. He tells me they called our warranty company, but that the warranty company probably wouldn't cover it. (The warranty company disagreed) I asked for a list of the repairs needed and how they knew it would cost 10,000 dollars. He could not and would not provide it. I asked him if they did an actual diagnosis or just looked at the codes. He said they "did a full diagnosis". The more I pushed back, the more stupefied Ron got (not a hard task to complete, stupefying Ron). When I asked him how he knew what a cam phaser was, he said they wouldn't do any work. Then he told me they actually had done no diagnosis and just looked at the codes. So, for 4 days, they had a vehicle, they performed no diagnosis, they had no idea if the P0017 code was a cam phaser or a solenoid. Ron said, "This is a common issue, and we always replace all parts." By Ron's admission, they gave me a 10,000-dollar estimate with no work done or assessment performed, just going off Ron's big gut. He did send pictures to my girlfriend when i had her call of the parts list (no verification it relates to my vehicle). Though there is a bigger problem that iin 2026. Ron doesn't know how to use an email. So, Ron (505-474-6515) is a scammy, garbage mechanic who takes advantage of people and lies to them. Do not trust them, do not bring your car here. Taking it to an abandoned parking lot will be a better use of your money than coming to this swamp pit. Anywhere would be better than Ron and his merry band of misfits.
