Found Larry's Service Center on google map when my Odyssey's battery and charging system light came on during my road trip to New Mexico. Saw some good reviews online and thought i would swing by Larry's Service Center first after making a few phone calls to check around the auto shops in town the next morning. When I first passed by the shop, I completely missed it as it is not conspicuous. All garages were closed with only a small "open" sign tucked between the windows. I had to make a U-turn and pulled up the back of the building, yet don't see any open garages. I pulled up the side of the building and walked in the door and was stumped for a moment when greeted by an elderly couple and a child. I thought I was in the wrong shop until I met Alfred in the adjacent service area. After talking to Alfred about the problem, he checked the battery's voltage and did an OBD scan. The battery is ok, and the OBD codes narrow the issue to the alternator. Alfred gave me the costs to replace the alternator, new and remanufactured. I was skeptical at first and asked Alfred to check the connections since I just had the drive belt removed for oil pump leak service before the road trip. I was concerned that the previous mechanic may not have reconnected properly. Alfred checked and didn't see any issue with the connections. Not wanting to risk another 1,500 miles around NM and back to CA, I went with the new alternator, but the new alternator turned out to be defective after installation and had to be swapped out with a remanufactured one, which was the only option at that time. I waited in the shop for both the alternator replacements, which were done swiftly. Alfred charged me for the remanufactured alternator cost and the labor is reasonable. Coming from California, I am pleasantly surprised to find such a family-oriented, personable auto shop in Bernalillo. Alfred took the time to look at my vehicle and accommodated me between several cars that he was working on to get me back on the road right before Christmas. I am glad I didn't judge the shop by the outward look, the inside is packed with over half a century of auto repair experience and as much sophisticated tools as the love of the family working together to serve the Bernalillo area. I made my way to White Sand and Carlsbad and back in California without a hitch after the repair thanks to Alfred. read more

Larry's Service Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

I do not trust many auto shops due to being an uneducated female when it comes to vehicles that has been screwed over many times in the past. HOWEVER, Larrys goes above and beyond! I had enough trust in him/them that I called for advice from miles and miles away just to get their opinion. They give fair prices and honest advice, which is very rare in the auto service industry in my opinion. I travel for work and only was in the area for a short time, but if I ever come back, Larrys is where I will take my vehicle needs again and would if I lived there. Thank you so much Alfred and crew. read more

Remember when you could take your vehicle into a repair shop and the people working on your car gave you their honest opinion. They told you how much each part was going to be and total labor costs. The price was fair and the job was done quickly and professionally. I just had my breaks and an oil change done from this place and would recommend them to anyone! read more

We were in our 42 foot motor coach, pulling our car, on U.S. 550 close to Albuquerque, when we became aware that our full width mud flap on the coach had broken in half. The left half had torn away somewhere along the road, but the right half was dragging and in danger of breaking away and damaging the car. We quickly looked for repair facilities in the area where we were driving, and found Larry's Service Center in Bernalillo NM. We pulled off 550 and went to Larry's shop to see what could be done. Alfred, Larry's son, dropped what he was working on, quickly assessed the situation and decided the safest, fastest way to remove the piece was to cut the bolt holding the broken half off using an oxyacetylene torch. He did this in short order and refused to accept any payment for his service! I would highly recommend this company, with proprietors Alfred, Larry & Carmen Casaus to anyone needing auto or RV service! read more
