It's great to read positive media coverage about the owners, but the media has failed to paint the whole picture of why they are successful. Has your truck broken down nearby? Their towing service is cheaper than the competition, but they charge unbelievably astronomical prices for their repair work (and parts) once they have you at the shop (where you have no other choice but to accept their rates).

My daughter and I ran into some car trouble on our cross country trip from Atlanta to Los Angeles…read more We went to 2nd to None because of the great yelp reviews. It was a bit longer off the highway than I thought it would be. I think my navigator took me off the wrong exit at first cause when we left it was much closer to the get back on the road. The people in the front office and the repair guys were very nice. They have this German Shepard in the office that is very shy but seems sweet enough. Our check engine light was on. At first they said it would take until the next day to get it fixed. I told them we couldn't stay in this town. They said they would do what they could to get us back on the road. And they did! In a few hours we were back on our way to LA. They even called a few days later to check on us, mailed a thank you postcard to thank us for or service and sent us an email. Now however, they are sending emails weekly or biweekly. If you don't like a lot of junk emails, don't provide your email.

Predatory upsell at Signal Ave location: Refused single spark plug fix on my stranded 19-year-old…read moredaughter's car Review (1-star): This is a serious warning for parents, students, and anyone driving in/around Albuquerque--especially near UNM or the northeast heights area. My 19-year-old daughter was on her way from Farmington to the University of New Mexico when her check-engine light began flashing early one morning. She pulled over safely about 30 miles from campus--alone, scared, and hours from home. I called Brown's Automotive Experts and spoke with a man named Chris (at the 6401 Signal Ave NE / Far Northeast Heights location). Chris mentioned he has four daughters of his own and assured me he would "take care of her." That reassurance meant a lot in the moment. He called back with the diagnosis: one cracked spark plug causing the misfire. He then immediately recommended replacing all spark plugs plus a fuel-injection service--totaling $1,800. I asked for the price to replace just the spark plugs; he quoted $1,300. I explained we couldn't afford that and requested they replace only the one cracked plug so she could safely reach school and we could plan the rest later. Chris refused. The shop would not do a single spark-plug replacement. It was pay $1,300 for the full set or just the diagnostic fee--and they'd send her back on the road with the flashing light and misfire still active. They were ready to release a teenage driver with a known engine issue rather than perform the minimal, diagnosed repair. This felt like blatant upselling that took advantage of her vulnerability and my concern as a parent 150+ miles away. I've never posted a review this strongly, but I won't stay silent when a business exploits a young woman's roadside emergency to push unnecessary $1,300-$1,800 services. If you have college kids, teenage drivers, or travel through Albuquerque's northeast side, avoid Brown's Automotive Experts - Far Northeast Heights (6401 Signal Ave NE). Choose a shop that does honest, needed repairs without holding safety hostage. Brown's Automotive Experts - Far Northeast Heights 6401 Signal Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113 Phone: (505) 857-0868 You've lost any future business from our family--and I hope others see this before they're in a similar spot.

This is a very honest business that doesn't try to Price gouge (take it from someone who received many, many quotes). They did a fantastic job on rebuilding my suspension, replacing my CV axles, and putting in new front and rear brakes, among other work. Seriously, I couldn't believe the night and day difference before and after I had the work done. It was like I was driving a new car. They officially have a customer for life (or at least, as long as I'll be in Albuquerque). I highly recommend them for your auto servicing needs.

Flash Automotive…read more Incompetent! Took my vehicle in. Gave them explicit instructions on how to recreate the issue. Also gave them explicit approval to just replace said parts - No Diagnostics necessary. Just replace the parts. Easiest job ever - just replace the parts. I dropped it off when the problem was present and obvious , but Brendan refused to go for a test drive, or even go to the parking lot so I could show him the problem. Brenda called 8 days later saying they couldn't diagnose the problem. He said his master mechanic with 40 whatever years of experience couldn't duplicate the issue - and admitted they did not drive it the minimum duration I told them to to replicate the problem. Once again, why are you trying to diagnose something that you had approval to just fix?! I don't care how experienced the mechanic is. If they are unwilling to do their due diligence in diagnosing the problem, especially with explicit instructions from the customer (yes, some customers know what they're talking about) all that experience is irrelevant. Incompetent. They attempted to say it was just a bad gauge, but sadly that's not the case and wouldn't case the actual problem. And the fact that they couldn't diagnose ONE issue, they ignored the other issues and didn't service them. Brendan refused service. They had it 8 days didn't repair a warranty issue and the other two items they had approval to do so without any diagnostics. They fixed nothing! Completely incompetent and evidently hard of hearing to. Brendan is arrogant and does not listen to the customer. No chance I'd ever recommend this company. Sad, when you can't even get them to just do the work. Overall experience was pathetic and unacceptable. What a waste of time. Looking forward to their defensive reply
