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.

I do not trust many auto shops due to being an uneducated female when it comes to vehicles that has…read morebeen 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.

The dealership in ABQ was telling me they had openings in January and I was on a road-trip and I'm sure they would have quoted me a ridiculous price- even a few hundred just to run an OBDII scan. Thanks you Monica, Tony, and everyone at Sparky's.

I believe the intentionly did shoddy work because i declined to have them do a $600 spark plug job. Was told my wires were oil soaked and they commonly come out of the tubes. No other mechanic agrees. Somehow a plug they say is oil soaked can push a tube off the safety clasp and 6" out of the tube. Ben was miserable to work with calling me after to yell and curse, making sure to add "your car is a piece of shit" and to tell me to "never come back" to his shop. Very disappointed, will be going to another mechanic to verify they actually did the work I was charged for. Do not recommend Ben Wade or Sparkys at all.

They and the other driver's insurance company totaled my truck and even tried to convince me that my truck's frame was bent! And after 7 months dealing with those 2 other companies and giving them almost $10,000 my truck still wasn't fixed! A co-worker told me about Jay Walton and promised me they would take care of me and my truck.....and Jay Walton to the rescue! Even though they were given a truck that was missing the entire front end, they were brave and knowledgeable to take on the challenge! Not only did Jay Walton do the diagnostics to discover if my truck's frame was bent, they proved it was not! And they never tried to take advantage of me or be dishonest. Ryan kept in touch with me with updates and was always quick to find out answers and address any issues that came up. Best of all, Jay Walton had my truck completely repaired in 2 months! And my truck looked better than it did before the accident! I can't thank them enough for turning a horrible nightmare into a positive experience with a very happy ending!!!

But this is what blew me away. Not the alternator, but replacing the engine-cover plastic clips that were missing before I brought my Rav in. Did they have to do that, of course not. Did they charge me? No. Did they mention them? No. That got me thinking of the time before I brought my 2008 in. Although they addressed the light configuration on the dash as planned, I believe they also addressed replacing batteries on my TPS sensor system for the tires. Again, did they charge me. No. Did they tell me? No. Conjecture on my part - as this light hasn't come on for the last several thousand miles; but I believe they replaced the batteries to quietly show off their exemplary service. Without saying a word. To say that they've earned my loyalty is an understatement. I wholeheartedly give my highest recommendation and respect to Japanese Car Care.
