After the Mercedes dealer overcharged and underperformed a number of times, I tried Christian's Automotive. Fantastic service, communication and pricing. My sprinter RV is back on the road. They will be my first call from now on. Services: Brakes, Electrical

I've been in ABQ visiting family. I happened to drive my daughter's car (2006 Prius-160,000 miles) and was concerned, given its noisy, rough ride, that it might not be safe. I took it to Christian's because, "back in the day" (10+years ago) they had done great work on my personal vehicles. I'm happy to report they are still just as good if not better. They kept the car for two days, did a very thorough evaluation, including a ride-along with me and multiple informative phone calls, and ended up telling me that the car is safe and the noises and rough ride are normal, given its age/mileage. AND THEY DIDN'T CHARGE ME A DIME! Everyone was so helpful and generous with their time. Christian's is a great organization!

A+++++++++++++, I'd go again today if I could. Two days of diagnostics and research and they wouldn't charge me one red cent. They were short-handed today so the OWNER of the place came out to give me a lift back. Honest, thorough, communicating clearly, I can't get enough of these folks. I am going back, bet on it.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews, unless it's exceptional. This business is exceptional. From the moment I walked in, everyone I interacted with was super friendly. I had a couple of things that came back on a scan of my vehicle(My brakes being one of the things that needed replacing). When I took my car back to complete the repair work, not only did they fix my oil leak, but they repaired a hose for my turbo engine that had been loose (I knew something was wrong when I had taken it to the Hyundai dealership for the last recall issue they were supposed to address, but when I mentioned the noise they said it was normal) and didn't charge me for it!
On top of that, they said my brakes were on the low side, but that I could continue using them until my next oil change. I feel like other businesses that weren't as honest would have just taken the money and did the work. I really appreciate the honesty and for these reasons, I've been telling everyone about them and will not take my car anywhere else from now on. This business is truly a treasure.

This place is it, will not take my vehicles in ABQ anywhere else. Absolutely the most honest experience I've had dealing with car issues here. Ask them and they will tell you. I've not been oversold ever here in fact maybe undersold I've and been multiple times. I would highly recommend you give them a shot. Not even mentioning the kind woman handling the customer service. Don't go anywhere else I'm telling you. They could of charged me for an irrelevant part we noticed was gone and many other places would have. Saved me at least a grand.

I came in with a clutch issue, the quoted me $1100 to fix. Overall it was good service, I just had to bring it back because of a loose bolt. If you are flexible with your time, and willing to give second chances (for human error), this place could be a good fit for you. Brian was friendly and more helpful than the other technicians. The shuttle service was a very nice option. The driver is very friendly!
