I am happy to be the first to review this Garage--the New Old Santa Fe Trail Garage. I was returning home from an OrangeTheory Class and saw this garage. I had a slow leak in a back tire that two other garages said was nothing--just a Toyota faulty gauge. So I dropped of the car at 8:15 on Saturday morning. They said they would have it ready in about 90 minutes--they were a bit busy. I walked home, showered, took the dogs for a walk and returned to pick up my RAV-4. Ready as promised with a screw which had been removed the rear tire. All good to go. I was charged $20, a great value. But most of all, this shop was honest, friendly and competent. I got the service I needed for a very fair price. Ranger is the mechanic and such a nice guy. We talked about his wife of 42 years who passed away last fall. He has a photo of this beautiful lady at his desk. I was super impressed with this competent and friendly shop. I don't live in Santa but visit here often and would definitely return. I am super happy to have found this tire leak before I head out next week on an eleven hour road trip. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GARAGE FOR REPAIRS. I told Ranger what I thought the problem was, and he agreed that I was likely correct. He then called me and said the problem was something else. I was skeptical, but he quoted a low price for the repair. He then charged me 50% more than the quote, and the repair he made did not fix the problem. I took the vehicle to a different shop, and they agreed with my assessment of the problem, tested for that problem, and fixed it. I will not be back to Ranger's garage. read more

Ranger and partner fixed my 30 yr. old Isuzu fan belt (replaced) VERY fast and did a perfect job and even fixed my blinkers that were not operating properly. I was told by 2 other places it would need to have an expensive test to find the problem. not so. My car was fixed in record time and done perfectly at a totally reasonable price (I checked around). read more

Absolutely amazing! Was on a road trip when I noticed the drive became pretty rough. After getting the runaround from several mechanics in Santa Fe, I heard about Old Trail Garage. Ranger knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it in record time. I can't recommend this place enough! Amazing, honest and professional! read more

This is where I take my truck to get serviced and anything else I might need done. The mechanics here are excellent.

Huge Shout Out to New Old Trail Garage! Ranger is so wonderful and pleasant. Called last evening, took my car in this morning and my non-working headlight done in 1 hour. read more

I recently moved to Santa Fe, and I've taken my car here twice now. First, for an oil change and next, to have my headlights cleaned and my front bumper secured. Both times, I really enjoyed communicating with who I believe is the owner! I felt honest and helpful vibes. They worked on my car quickly. After these experiences, I expect that Old Trail Garage will be my go-to mechanic in Santa Fe. read more

In more than a half-century of driving in places urban and deeply, ruggedly remote, I've never found a place or person as skilled, courteous and genuine as the Old Trail Garage and it's owner, Ranger. If there were a national competition for Best Garage in America, Ranger's station would be #1 hands down!!! AJH read more

Very happy with the service I got on my BMW 325i. First I took my car to pep boys in Santa Fe. And over the course of three days they gave me the run around about what was wrong with my car. & they tried to sell me services I knew I didn't need. Anyways, I got tired of the run around from them & was referred to The Old New Trail Garage. I had my car towed there and by the end of the day my car was running again. The guy I talked to on the phone even waited for my boyfriend to get there to pickup the car even though it was after hours. I appreciate the honesty they gave me! It turns out my alternator was out & there was a crack on the bleeder on the radiator. I didn't have the funds to get that fixed completely, but they did have an extra one to give it a temporary fix & sealed it for me. They even gave me extra water to have in my car in case the car over heated on the way back to Albuquerque. (Which it didn't.) I will definitely recommend this place to friends in Santa Fe. Again I appreciate their honesty & how they took the time to get me in the same day! And they saved me a BUNCH of money! Thank you guys. read more

Took my car in for a battery test, was charge $25.00 CASH ONLY (no debit, check or credit cards). Had to get Cash before he would give my keys back!!! Be careful read more

The best mechanics I've found in Santa Fe -- experienced, knowledgable, and reasonably priced. My old Jeep had an oil leak for many years, and a different garage had told me that I needed to have the rear engine seal replaced. The experts at New Old Trail Garage knew that this engine typically developed leaks from a different location, the oil filter housing -- a much easier and less expensive fix. They completed the job quickly and professionally. read more

They saved me$1500. I took my car to another place first and they said it was a tie rod and the cost would be $1800. My friend recommended me to get another inspection. It wasn't the tie rod at all. They are the place that I will be taking my car from now in. Jan Farley read more

I would like to give The New Old Trail Garage, operated by Ranger and Joe, an excellent rating for integrity of service, reasonably pricing of services, and accuracy in determining cause of automobile issue and resolution of the repair without any dishonesty with unneeded repairs and add-ons. I have used this garage for about 5 years now, after having my prior car repairs done at what turned out to be disreputable and overpriced garages, which I no longer trusted to service my car. Thankfully I was referred to Ranger and Joe by a friend, and I am secure in knowing they get to the heart of the problem and fix it without run around and hassles. If they are busy with other customers in front of you, they will tell you, and when is a good time to bring it in, if it is not an immediate issue. If it is more dire, then they will tell you to bring it in, or have towed in, and how quickly they can determine the issue and get it fixed. I am confident in referring them to anyone needing an honest and reliable mechanic. read more
