We drive a European vehicle that typically costs $1000 every time we take it to the shop. So you can imagine that when your check engine light comes on and your 10 hours away from home, your anxiety level goes up. We found Art's Repair Plus on yelp and the reviews were very impressive. So we called him up and explained our situation. He said come on in and we would run the diagnostics right away. So we did and he ran the diagnostics as soon as we got there. He explained there was nothing to worry about. Our car just needed an altitude adjustment. He set our mind at ease and we were on our way! We would recommend this shop for anyone having car troubles. Whether you are from out of town or from Ruidoso, Arts is the place to go!

I can't thank Precision Auto, its owner Sid, his wife Cheri, and their dedicated associates (shout…read moreout Melissa and Griffin) enough for the exceptional service they provided during our recent trip. We were traveling from Texas when our car suddenly overheated, and we happened to pull into Prevision Auto by chance. From the moment we arrived, Sid's knowledge, professionalism, and outstanding customer service put us at ease. Sid quickly assessed the issue and assured us our vehicle was in good hands, which was such a relief while traveling far from home. Despite a few hurdles along the way, Sid's dedication and expertise, along with the support of Cheri and their skilled team, ensured everything was resolved, and we made it back to Texas safely. If you're looking for an honest, skilled mechanic who genuinely cares about his customers, Sid, Cheri, and the team at Precision Auto are the ones to trust. We are incredibly grateful for their help and highly recommend this business. When you go in, ask how the Datenut loaf was!

Turns out, my key didn't have a functioning chip. We tried another spare key and it started right up. They wanted $180 for their effort. Then "Rudy" told me I needed a new oil pan gasket, since the old one was leaking. They could replace it, as well, for $850, total. I knew it wasn't leaking because there hadn't been any spots on the driveway. Besides, I could buy a gasket at Autozone for $18, drain the oil, and do it myself in an hour at home. I paid them the $180 and picked the car up later. At home I tried opening the hood and found that both hood support struts had been broken, intentionally, I guessed. Crappy and childish behavior. These guy must make much of their money ripping off unsuspecting tourists, I'm guessing. Go someplace else -

I made sure I was in a correct spot and left a note in my windshield. I didn't think it'd be a big issue since they are closed Sundays anyway. So I come down this Monday around 1:00, allowing the ice to melt, and as I'm about to get my car, the owner, manager, came out and tried to say how lucky I was he didn't have it towed. I tried to explain that I couldn't get my car up the icy hill. He said he didn't care. "It's a business". Obviously it's a business. I was planning on coming back and having my car looked at as I've just moved up here and don't have my normal mechanic anymore. After the experience with the bald man with the Napoleon complex, I'd rather go to a commercial mechanic now. Thought this town would be understanding in times of emergency as the hill i live on didn't have power for over 2 days. But this guy shows that they don't. As someone who also runs a business, this reflects poorly on you and your company. As such; I'll make sure to let anyone I know needing a mechanic to avoid this heartless person's business.

I wish I could provide a good review but I never even had the chance to take my car in for service…read more I called to ask about scheduling an oil change and asked if I could provide a particular oil and the correct filter. The answer was "No thanks.". No explanation or interest whatsoever by the guy who answered the phone. I didn't even have a chance to ask about all the other services I wanted to get done - new battery, transmission and brake services, coolant flush and a muffler check. I get why shops don't want to use outside parts or supplies for liability issues. My goal wasn't to be cheap it was to use the correct oil and filter for my car instead of whatever the shop felt was good enough. Definitely a bad impression for a potential customer.

He took my contact info and told me he would follow up with the price and availability. Nobody ever called. I ordered the tire off of Tire Rack. I brought the tire and the rim in to be mounted at 2:45 in the afternoon and was told they couldn't get it done. So what can you do? You can't follow up with the customers, you can't even look up when you can get the tire. Instead of offering to set me up an appointment for the following day, it was just a hard we can't do it. I'm fairly new to the area and was recommended this shop. But two times I've been there and they haven't been able to help. I'll find another shop.
