This is one of the most trustworthy and excellent mechanics in all of Albuquerque. I have always been satisfied with all the work I have received. Prices for most shops are competitive. Tom Quirk Automotive is in line with current and fair pricing. Above and beyond all they listen to you, your concerns and they are genuinely really good people!
