1st APPOINTMENT I was getting an emission test for my 2004 Accord at an oil change shop when I struck up a conversation with an auto mechanic, telling him I'm due for a new timing chain. He strongly recommended I take my car to ABQ Quality Auto. I'm not mechanically inclined so it was great getting a recommendation from a mechanic, particularly since it was from a competing shop. ABQ Quality Auto was slightly less expensive than other shops but they didn't include new gaskets in the advertised price. When I asked why, they told me that cars generally don't need them but they would replace them if they did. It turned out they weren't needed which is a good sign they're honest. 2nd APPOINTMENT I went in for a synthetic oil change. They called to tell me one headlight was out was out and recommended I replace both at the same time which I did. And they told me the two rear tires were leaking air. They repaired one but said the other puncture was on the sidewall so both rear tires would probably have to be replaced. But they referred me to Albuquerque Tire and they were able to repair it for under $30! 3rd APPOINTMENT I brought my car in because a warning light kept blinking. They did an initial diagnostic test that indicated at least one of the oxygen sensors was bad so I thought I would be out a few hundred bucks. I left my car for a deeper diagnosis and they found it just needed a software update which brought the initial estimate way down. I'm grateful that I found an honest auto repair shop with expert technicians. read more

Small shop with personal service by Honda experts. They remember and use your first name!

They are very trustworthy. I feel confident that they do a thorough job and they know Hondas very well. I recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

If someone is going to touch my Honda besides myself its gonna be these guys. Good work and they will actually show you your old part and explain. Rather than just try and upsell you. read more

I had a repair done by this shop and it was great Honest,fast and reasonable. Their work is better than taking it to the dealer took care of my head gasket problem with care. Very professional these guys know what they are doing. I highly recommend them to anyone who owns a honda or any foreign vehicle. Thank you for your service!! read more

We were about to go back to Dallas from Albuquerque on our road trip and we had a check engine light come on. Went by this shop and they ran a diagnostic, found the problem (which was improperly installed filters) and fixed it in 10 minutes. They didn't even charge. Very friendly, very professional, would recommend! read more

They replaced the ujoint on my Toyota Tacoma quickly and professionally. My truck was making rattling sounds. I took it to a different shop at first and they were unable to fix it despite charging hundreds of dollars. ABQ quality auto was able to diagnose and repair it in the same day. They charged a price cheaper than what they originally quoted. Abq quality auto is an honest and reliable shop. Will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I have been procrastinating to replace the timing belt on my car. Serious procrastinating. Like years. Thank goodness my car is still alive. After getting a quote from a dealership that gave me heartburn, I was referred to this place by my neighbor. I was impressed with how informative Art was. His dedication to client education is refreshing and unmatched. While I came here for a single service, of course my neglect was discovered after a few other issues popped up during my car's inspection. Despite having to pay a little more for each reminder of me-putting-things-off-until-I-absolutely-can't, it still didn't break my bank. I was floored that I was able to walk away with money in my pocket! Not only that, I was able to get my car the same day I dropped it off. Had I gone to a dealership, I would have been without a car for DAYS! The service here is incredible. Highly communicative, fair pricing, prompt turnaround. Their value is next level and I will recommend them to everyone I know! read more

After my daughter had multiple failed attempts at starting her car, she brought in her car, and the mechanic/owner (?) deemed that "the battery was fine, nothing wrong with it" and then dismissed her, unwilling to investigate further. Follow-up: both the Lexus dealership AND AAA found the battery to have failed the battery test, testing at 119/800 cold cranking amps. Did not rotate and balance the tires, despite my daughter's asking and the tires needing to be rotated and balanced. Did not replace the brake pads and resurface the rotors, despite my daughter's asking them to check the brakes. The rear brakes were between 3mm and 4mm. The engine air filter replacement needed "immediate attention" and had to be replaced. My daughter's car was serviced at ABQ, three weeks ago, so these are not new problems, but MISSED/IGNORED problems. I don't know what the issue is at this place, and who's writing the other reviews. It's hard to believe that ABQ decided to withhold reliable and competent service from my daughter, only. If you have a Lexus, I HIGHLY recommend you use the Lexus dealership; they are honest, competent, conscientious, and don't feel comfortable dismissing major problems with your car. AND, they gave my daughter a 15% first responder's discount. Shame on you, ABQ. You have zero defense for sending my daughter and car back out into the world, endangered, with a compromised car. SHAME ON YOU!! read more

I was really pleased with both the cost and quality of service. Highly recommend. Job took only a few hrs and communication was great.

I had a Check Engine light on & I needed a repair shop in Downtown. ABQ Quality Auto was able to look at code within 2 days. They called within 2 hrs & were honest about the issue & explained the diagnosis. It ended up being a minor part & the cost was under $100. They were careful & took all the COVID precautions. I will take my car back to them next time for sure. read more

Seriously what amazing, knowledgeable, welcoming people! They were so unbelievably kind and really did save me from a tricky situation! They went above and beyond to truly help me. Thank you!!! read more

I am thankful that they were able to fix my broken trunk door in just a few hours. I was in the middle of a long distance road trip when the trunk door of my Hyundai car suddenly won't close. I called up a few other shops but their estimated time would take either 2 days or more. ABQ Quality Auto took me in around 9:30am, ordered the parts, and by 1pm the job is done. The only setback was the $213.05 bill. I felt it was overpriced but at that time I felt like there's no other choice. read more

ABQ Quality Auto was recommended by a friend, I've been there a few times. Both times the repairs turned out to be minor, prices were low, work was done well. No scary up-selling, just honest and skilled mechanics. I haven't had a big repair done here, but this is the first place I'll go if I ever need one. (My car is a Mazda, they aren't limited to Hondas.) read more

Fabulous car repair place. My check engine light came on while traveling across the country. Even though they were very busy, Art took the time to diagnose my problem. He then ordered the needed part and had the car repaired it in just a couple of hours. We were back on the road feeling good about our car. If I lived in ABQ this would be my go to car shop. I can't say enough good things about this place . Honest communication, good prices, quality work. read more

art was super helpful. was just passing through on my way to st. louis and needed my transfer fluid checked. he was able to locate the issue that was causing the leak and recommended how to solve it. had me on my way in no time at a super reasonable cost. if i am ever driving through again and need my truck checked i will definitely stop here. thanks a bunch y'all read more

The clutch on my 3G Acura TL recently went out, and I felt that this repair might be better performed by a professional, so I went searching. I came across ABQ Quality on this site, and saw that they only had 2 reviews, but that they were both very positive, so I decided to give them a try. I'm really glad that I did. After speaking with Art over the phone, he thought that my problem might be one of the cylinders and not the clutch itself, which would be a much more expensive fix. I got the sense that he wasn't trying get as much work out of me as he could, so I went ahead and let them do the repair. Art called me and said that he got the clutch working again by putting some Dot 3/4 in reservoir, which confirmed that it was a leaky cylinder. Art and Seth did the repair, and now my car is driving great again. And they got the job done over a day sooner than I was anticipating! It was money well spent, in my book. The bottom line is that you should give these guys a shot with your Honda or Acura (or whatever else you drive that they say they can fix). They know what they're doing, and aren't going to gouge you for more. They are clearly more about building a long-term relationship with you than squeezing out a quick buck. read more

Art is great to work with and I can't recommend his shop enough. I can really depend on his work to keep my car running and he recommends maintenance ahead of time, before it becomes an expensive problem. He's the only mechanic I trust to honestly tell me what my car needs done. For example, my 4runner just hit 200k miles and he told me to do the front suspension, but the back was ok. It was an expensive repair, although his price was very reasonable. WOW what a difference! It brakes so much better and the weird jitter it had accelerating on the freeway is gone. Art really understands cars, but most of all I trust him to be honest! read more

I had the best experience at ABQ Quality Auto. Worth mentioning, it has been two months but I kept forgetting to write my review. I was traveling for work and drove from Denver. My Jeep, out of the blue, wouldn't start. After trying to start it numerous times it started, so I was able to drive it to a shop. Not being from the area, I pulled up Yelp and picked the first one I saw - ABQ Quality Auto. It was about 5 on a Thursday afternoon. I called the shop and they said bring it in. I got there probably just after 5. I felt bad being there so late in their day, but they made me feel comfortable and looked at it right away. After about 45 min of trying many different things to determine the cause, they were able to diagnosis - electrical. ABQ Quality Auto got me on my way quickly and efficiently. I believe I worked with Seth, he was great! I will definitely come back for any car troubles in ABQ, and refer anyone in need. read more

I've been trusting my family's cars to Art and his shop for years. He offers honest advice, answers all your questions, and stands behind his work, which is top notch since he's a master technician. He's literally saved me thousands by pre-inspecting used vehicles before I buy them. I have peace of mind knowing he cares about me and my cars- that's what really earns my business!! read more

Just had some major maintenance and a full brake job done to my 2003 Acura CL. I love this car and after a few days with these guys, it's totally running like new. Like most everyone, i've had my fair share of questionable experiences in trying to get my car repaired in the past. So, I don't take my car to just anyone and so i did my research and sure enough these guys are the complete real deal. Honest, professional, fair - everything you would expect in a mechanic. They just made a customer for life. read more
