“I had the BMW dealer service center quote me an eye-watering price to replace a timing chain, and other related seals, gaskets, covers,etc. It's a component that is designed to last the life of the engine, so the repair is a substantial amount of labor in disassembly and reassembly.
Faced with paying a major portion of the car's value to get it fixed, I decided to get another estimate, and called Ians's garage. Theresa spent a good deal of time with me on the phone explaining the scope and extent of the repair, and provided an estimate that was ~33% less than what BMW had quoted. When I picked up my car, Ian brought me into the immaculate shop where he had the damaged/worn components laid out and spent a good deal of time explaining what he'd found and the work he had done, root causes of the failure, and future preventive measures. He is personable, and generous with his time in explaining details. He is impressively knowledgeable and conveys the kind of friendly, calm competence only found in true professionals. He's certainly earned my trust.
I have no ill will toward the dealer; they have always treated me fairly. But I'll be bringing my cars back to Ian and Theresa.”
“Excellent automotive repair and customer service for my diesel VW Jetta wagen. I appreciated all the services received as well as the detailed communication necessary and provided with knowledge and fairness.”
“Took my son’s Jeep rubicon to get looked at for overheating. Other mechanics weren’t sure what was wrong with it.
took it to F A S T and they took care of the problem accurately and in a timely manner.
Awesome work! Would definitely recommend them.”
“My Forester broke down, five hours from home, on I-25. Leonard with Precision Transmission was amazing. I would give 100 stars if I could. When I got their number from a list of suggested shops from the insurance company, I called, stranded, asking what to do, and Leonard not only answered the phone at almost closing time, but, despite it clearly NOT being a transmission issue, treated me like family, helping me sort through next steps. He squeezed my towed car into their packed schedule. Despite it not being their specialty, they were able to correctly identify the fatal problem. Leonard hunted for new/used engines, helped us with the final decision, and even asked that we call when we got home to let him know we were safe. In a situation perfect for possible rip-offs, Leonard was professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Our highest recommendation.”

1501 5th St, Santa Fe“Amazing service! I just took my Subaru 2018 there. They were quick to look at it and got it fixed very quickly! They have great customer service. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely go back to get all my services done there!”
“1st time @ Auto Care 2000
I purchased a diesel truck and knew it was going to need some work/maintenance completed.
Had an oil change. Fast clean. The crew went through the truck and got me on the road.
600 miles later dash lights came on. (Check engine and Electronic throttle control)
I brought it back. These guys jumped on it quickly. Peter kept me updated with progress and estimates. Pictures of other parts to consider changing. They completed the work fast and efficiently.
I had to bring it in once more and the crew came out fast with a friendly greeting. The owner is very professional and has a great knowledge team.
I'm happy with all their efforts and keeping me in the road. I would recommend this shop to anyone.”
“I had the absolute BEST experience at Rafa’s for an unexpected car emergency during my vacation in Santa Fe. All of the other shops that I called had no availability for a week, but Rafa’s took me in and got to working on my vehicle ASAP. I was informed through every step of the repair process and felt like my car was in the best of hands.
When I arrived to pick up my car I noticed that they even repaired some cosmetic damage on my bumper! My car literally left the shop looking even better then when I arrived. I highly recommend Rafa’s Auto Repair and would return in a heartbeat if I ever run into car issues again in Santa Fe. Thank you again Rafael and team!!! <3”

“While traveling through New Mexico on a vacation pulling our fifth wheel RV, the "check engine" light came on in my Chevy Duramax. We arrived at our RV park destination in Santa Fe on a weekend. The park maintenance person was able to use his code reader to determine that the alert was for a turbo vane position sensor. The park was also able to provide a couple of recommended repair shops. I chose Master Tech Auto Repair. Early Monday morning I drove to the shop and waited for it to open. Annie, the receptionist, opened up and took my information and the truck problem. She soon told me that Ari, the owner, said that they could work my truck into the schedule. What a relief, as we were scheduled to depart on Wednesday to Texas where we had another RV Park reservation. Santiago used a code reader to confirm the problem. The truck repair was completed late Tuesday. Ari met with me for about 20 minutes to go over every detail on the repair list including those items that were not critical but should be done when I returned home. He even recommended specific parts to be installed that were superior in his experience. I have never had that kind of attention to my vehicle ever. Amy completed the service transaction. Everyone I met at the shop was cordial and cared about helping a visitor that was just passing through. I am so impressed with this shop and their service. If I lived in Santa Fe this would be my "go to" shop for all of my vehicles maintenance and repair needs. Many thanks to the crew at Master Tech Auto Repair in Santa Fe NM.”
“My 1998 Toyota 4Runner's engine died several years ago. I could not bear to junk it after so many years of great experiences in Washington State, California, Vermont and here in New Mexico. Luckily while thinking about engine replacement I discovered Daniel's "German Auto Solutions". I went to see him and after some warm and honest conversation I agreed to have German Auto Solutions replace my Toyota's engine. He took his time which was my preference because I emphasized I wanted a good job and not a rushed just get it done approach. I am now once again driving my prized 1998 4Runner with a replaced younger engine Daniel was able to locate that did not rob my bank! He did a great job!! I am happy and grateful that I found German Auto Solutions. For honesty and great work I highly recommend German Auto Solutions. I will be returning for more mechanical work on my other vehicles. Thanks Daniel!!”
“We were on a family trip to Santa Fe in March of 2023 when our family vehicle started to experience some transmission issues at stoplights.
Matt was kind enough to take a quick look, go for a drive, and clear the codes on the computer and get us going again. I can't thank him enough and this review is a long time coming.”

2786 Agua Fria St APT B2, Santa Fe“Actions speak louder than words. The folks here are stand-up people. I had a new alert on a push-start car. None of my old tricks worked. I gave up and called FAST auto mechanics to ask if they could take in a Honda if I could get it towed there. They could have let me spend money on a tow and could have charged me to diagnose the problem. Instead they walked me through a few steps that got me running again. Thank goodness for service people like that!”
“Great experience (my own navigational inadequacies aside). Service was completed efficiently. The additional analysis was very useful and demonstrated the high precision and quality of the engineering staff.”
