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.

I was going to go to the dealer because it was a bit more complicated issue - the EPC light. But the owner assured me she could check this for me. She told me to have my car there the next morning by 9:00am and they'd check it out. Almost two days passed without any info regarding my car. I made 4 or 5 calls to inquire, each time the person that answered said he'd check with the owner and call me back. No call back ever happened. Finally, late afternoon the second day I called again, got the owner who said she was just getting ready to call me(?!). She said she "ran the codes" and the car needed spark plugs, an oil change, new coil and an oil separator. Not really what I had read were common issues when the EPC light comes on... So with this quote, I was concerned; I had recently had the spark plugs replaced and my oil changed. She admittedly didn't even check the oil in this diagnostic appointment for which I was charged nearly $100. And to boot she kept saying "ESP" light, instead of "EPC." It was even in the written quote. Didn't make me feel very confident that 1) they would be able to address the EPC light issue and 2) they really knew what my car needed when two items had recently been done (plus she didn't even check my oil). She quoted me something over a $1,000 to do this work. I told her I needed my car (I never expected to not have transportation for two days) and I would get back to her at which point I had to pay a diagnostic fee for something done hastily upon my 4th or 5th call and wasn't even accurate. Thank goodness I rescheduled my previous appointment with the dealership. They looked at my car, called me within an hour and it turned out it was my cooling fan, it had broken causing the car to not be able to cool and thus making the EPC light come on. I paid little more at the dealer than the crazy erroneous quote from Autocare 2000. I think they didn't know what the problem was and decided to just throw out the most basic common issues hoping that would bandaid the problem. I tell you this so you think twice before going there if it's something more complicated, because chances are you'll have to pay for something that's not even the problem and then pay again to actually fix the issue elsewhere.

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 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.
