I've lived in a few places, big cities, small towns, and this is one of the best garages I have…read moreever been to. People in Silver City don't write reviews too often on big websites, so that's probably why I am the first one. The owner, Nacho, used to teach mechanics at the local university. This is his "retirement" (I put that in quotes because they look really busy!). The mechanics at his garage are former students. There is a real cooperative atmosphere among them. They are all on board to helping out with what is wrong with your car. Nacho is respectful and nice. I'm a woman, and I didn't feel like he was talking down to me at *all.* He's good at explaining things. So are his mechanics. I know a little bit about cars (my dad was always fixing cars and I took an auto repair class many years ago, so I get the general concepts, though I never do repair myself), and they totally talked to me at a level I could understand. They were all very cool. Like you would have fun having a beer with them, but you could still introduce them to your grandmother. They did good work on my car, and wound up charging me a lot less than what they originally thought after they started working on it and realized there was an easier fix. How often does that happen? They could have easily not told me that. Their prices are fair, and they guarantee the work. I have to move to go to graduate school, and I almost wish I could stay in Silver City longer, they are so amazing. They are a real jewel.

He had me bring it to his shop first thing in the morning. He took a test drive and also put the vehicle on the lift to diagnose the problem. He suggested I take it to a specialty rear-differential shop since it has a Locking 4x4 rear end. He then offered to tow the vehicle back to Tucson in a few days -- for a VERY Reasonable rate ! 100 % HONEST and very Reasonable. I highly recommend this shop !

They informed me that they didn't rotate the tires because I needed a new steering arm and tie rods ($1,300). The "work" was done, but the car was not right.

I agree with the other reviewers ...thank goodness for an honest repair shop in Silver City.

We brought it in and by 5pm they had replaced all the brake pads and only charged us the price of parts and minimal labor. I couldn't be happier with this business. In fact, I'm sending my husband back 690 miles away to get the oil changed there next week.

Lawley Silver City installed a transmission (2005 Jeep, 124K miles)…read more After picking up the Jeep (2 weeks later then promised). I drove to California where the Jeep barely made the drive. San Diego Lawley informed, "Only 4 of the 8 bolts holding the transmission to the engine where present, once they got into the transmission they said it was a mess with a myriad of transmission issues, all to do with Service." I returned to Lawley Silver City and shared my experience with head mechanic Marty. Marty in return shared some pearls of wisdom, "It was my own fault for putting a transmission in a used Jeep, and he would never purchase a Jeep." I worked over 30 years in the entertainment industry, so I'm used to arrogant people, but they usually have a skill set to back up their mouth. Marty couldn't even properly install a transmission and blames the Jeep brand. If ya'll don't want to install transmissions into a used Jeep, please inform customers prior to them spending $6,000.00, and we can go else where.
