Rae McKenna

I've had nothing but good experiences here. Their prices are fair, and their customer service is great. I first brought my vehicle here because my mother in law suggested it after being a customer for 30 years herself.

Marilyn LaFleur

Flash Automotive is the best service, maint. & auto repair shop in Albuquerque, they are honest, diligent & professional. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years and Mike Lowe has always shown integrity and treated me and my family members who bring their vehicles in with respect. We are always informed of any work or repairs needed and not more than is necessary as some shops are in the habit of doing. Thank you Mike, Jerry, Tyler and all staff members for your excellent customer service. God bless you, Bill P. and family

Kathryn Grundmann

Just when I was about to give up on thinking I could find a reasonable place for vehicle service, I tried Flash Automotive. I was referred by a friend who reported they had had exceptional service here for MANY years. I knew when I called to make the appointment that this place was going to be different than other, including the dealership I had tried; after speaking to Jerry for just a couple minutes, I knew I was going to be well taken care of here.The service I received here was exceptional, as was the timing it took to get my vehicle in on a very busy day. This place is honest, prompt, knowledgeable, and hard-working, and I would not take my vehicle anywhere else. Thank you, Jerry, for all that you do for people like me in the community, who want to ensure safety on the road. You’re the best.

I’ve been bringing my car to Flash for a couple years now; everyone is very professional and informative. Their work is great, the turnaround is fast. With both larger and smaller maintenance and repair issues they somehow manage to work me into the busy schedule. I always feel confident and comfortable when I bring my car here.

Niko Azucenas

Quick, fast, and most importantly, great with their pricing! Other shops quoted me over 1K to put a lift on my truck. I paid under $400 for their time here! Ask for Brandon or either of the Gabe’s to help you out. I’m so glad I didn’t get taken advantage of!

Jake Evans

I have a 2010 challenger and I broke off the head of the oil pressure sensor, and then broke out an easy off inside. I called every shop in town, and the only place that would work on it is flash automotive. They did a great job and even recognized a couple other problems with my vehicle and fixed them for me. Brendan is the owner and a great and friendly guy! He is definitely NOT in the market to scam people like most of these shops. Thank you flash automotive for your time and hard work! Now my challenger is running great! They have a military discount as well which is very helpful. I will be returning for my future car needs.

Marie Grezeszak

I can’t say enough good things about Flash Auto! They are dependable, reliable, professional, and they do great work in a timely manner. The staff are great, friendly people who care about their customers. They have been my go to folks for auto and truck repair for the past three years, since my prior mechanic retired. I highly recommend them!

Nurse Nanci

My husband is an ASE certified mechanic but I won’t let him work on my car- my car- my responsibility- anyway- he did recommend Flash Automotive. Brendan at the front was amazing and helpful- he explained what was going on- what my car needed and why. I did NOT have my husband w me- I didn’t feel like I was being talked down to or ‘mansplained’. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO All MY CO - workers and anyone who asks!I had front brakes done, alignment, oil change and tire rotation done… Peggy drives like a DREAM!P

Jerry Moya

My 2000 jeep wrangler could not fixed by a mechanic shop in Valencia County so the shop recommended Flash. From the minute the jeep arrived I was kept informed of the progress and situation. Brandon called me a few times to update me on the problems and costs associated. All the staff are very customer service oriented, I would definitely go back in the event I need any repairs on my vehicles.

I have a 23 year old van that broke down in the middle of a road trip. The team was very friendly and welcoming when we came in (and while we hung out for the duration). They listened to our concerns about the vehicle and made sure that we were informed on what was going on. They got us back on the road within about 6 hours of getting to the shop! I’m grateful that we took it here; it was an amazing experience!

Brittney Balog

This is the best shop I’ve been to for my vehicle! One shop couldn’t do what needed done and they did it and more! Jerry and Brandon were beyond excellent! Got is in and out in a timely manner they did amazing work! Highly recommend them!!!

Alexis Kohilakis

This place is top notch! I broke down on the interstate (I'm not from NM) and wound up at another shop that was giving me the run around. I called around to so many places and they were either booked out for weeks or didnt wanna deal with me (wrong diagnosis at the first shop). Jerry heard my case over the phone and even though the shop was very busy, he agreed to have his guys take a look. They had me rolling out of there at lunchtime! They properly diagnosed the issue (something the other shop couldn't do over the course of 4 days), ordered and installed the part that day. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional and courteous, but most importantly this shop is ethical and honest. Their intention was to get my truck fixed- not overcharge or do unnecessary work to make a buck. These guys went out of their way to save my butt and I would highly recommend their honest, quality work to anyone!

Chase McCarty

Flash Automative is very professional and reliable. I had my Engine/Transmission Mounts replaced and the work is noticeable. They are also very, very good at diagnosing the car all around and provided other issues about my car thst I was unaware of. They are very thorough in their diagnosis process and I appreciate their work a lot. Thank you so much.

Sameer Bakhda

We came across Flash Automotive when we had an unexpected car issue on a cross-country trip. It was early in the morning, but we knew that this could seriously hamper our journey out of New Mexico. We stopped by Flash Auto, and Jerry, Paul, and Brandon took great care of us. They fixed the problem and got us back on the road in under 45 minutes! Super appreciative of them working so hard to get us rolling again - highly recommended!

D Y

They are honest and knowledgeable and reasonably priced. The only regret I had was the one time I went to someone else. I will never go anywhere else again! Flash is awesome!

Taren Hill

Flash automotive is wonderful. They do excellent work. When they fix something, it stays fixed.I like to bring in my vehicle periodically and have them look it over. Flash automotive is great for looking at my vehicle and giving me a report. They tell me, “you have this. Fixing it will be about this much. You need to fix it by this time, or you will have this problem”As a result, I never have unpleasant surprises. I have also brought in my friends. They are likewise satisfied. I could not ask for better.

Brian Grant

Me and my family have done business with Flash Auto for several years now and we have always got Excellent service from them. Prices are fare and they do quality work. I highly recommend this repair shop.

Amanda Kittel

Best shop ever, don't waste your money taking your vehicle anywhere else!

David Feeler

sharon shapiro

Had a fuel pump failure in a heat wave traveling through Arizona. Called ahead to Flash Auto in Albuquerque New Mexico. Jerry and Mike took me in and fixed me up and had me back on the road in one day. Ordered the part that evening and started working first thing the next day. Replaced fuel pump and #8injector

Izzy Gutierreztxt

Very Knowledgeable Guys There. Very Helpful and took care of my family very well.

Paul Fava

I've been doing business with these folks for over 10 years with 5 vehicles and they've always done the job right. I always get the vehicle back when promised and have never had to take it back for the same repair. They are upfront and honest. No surprises.

Johnny G

I trust these folks. They've shot straight with me on several instances. Communicated with me, and didn't follow through with unnecessary work. Solid mechanics, too.

Sean E Byram

Hands down they are the best repair facility out there. Mike is one if the best Diesel mechanics, and Jerry is a great service advisor.

paula morrow

I called around and no one was willing to give me a quote. I didn't need old school mechanical work. It was resetting my mother board (TCM)everyone else wanted me to tow my car to them and be trapped. I called Brandon he answered and he gave me a quote. An expectation was all I needed within 48 hours I had my car back and Brandon went a step further and fixed another issue for me. My only regret was not thanking Brandon personally. So thank you a million times I felt safe in your care. You called me with updates when you said you would. That meant a lot to me. If my car ever gives me trouble again I'll be back.

James Stanfill

I was passing though with not a lot of time and called ahead. The team got me in and fixed the problem just prior to closing. That’s exceptional customer service!

Mike Casey

They are very helpful staff and they take care of there customers!!

Cyndi Kuchera

Very friendly, work done in timely manner. I will take my vehicle back here.

Nicholai Sweet

I took my car to Flash Automotive at the suggestion of a friend. All of my dashboard indicator lights were flashing and the car just didn’t run as efficiently as normal. The staff there recharged my battery and replaced the alternator. The staff is very professional and prices were excellent. Thank you !!!

Matt

I was able to show up without an appointment and had my vehicle's air conditioning fixed the same day. They provided detailed honest answers for my problem and I was able to make a decision based on their expert opinion.
