Very well! Dave is trustworthy and knows what he's doing. If a car isn't worth fixing, he will tell you, rather than take your money to fix something that isn't worth the investment. It's hard to find an honest mechanic these days. When I first found Dave I lived in Eldorado, now I live outside of Albuquerque, and I still take my car to Dave. I wouldn't trust it to anyone else!

They do it within one day. I drop the car off and they give me a ride home. The workers are excellent.

I thought the price was excessive for the small amount of work involved.

Even though the car's a 1991 Cadillac, they were very familiar with the possible cause of the problem, pinpoint it, gave me an accurate cost quote and were able to locate the parts the next day.
Friendly knlowledgeable people, ready to go the extra mile by offering me pick up and delivery service to my home.

This was a simple fix, but one I could not figure out.   I had no appointment, but was anxious to finish some chores so drove up to Eldorado Automotive.  Someone was outside when I pulled in.  I described the problem, and he went right to work.  In less than 5 minutes all was good.  Fixed at no charge.  
Since moving here over 4 years ago, I have taken 3 different cars to Eldorado Automotive for issues both major and minor.  The work has always been done right and on time, and at fair cost,  Except for one car which is still under a full-service warranty, I have never gone elsewhere, and have no reason to think I ever will.  In addition, it is a very comfortable, informal environment:  the people there are friendly, personable and focused on service.

bTruck still at "Dave's" (as we call Eldorado Automotive) awaiting insurance adjuster. We have used Dave's for years and years for many repairs and rely on them for all routine service. Dave and Sharon are very down-to-earth, honest, caring folks.  Very upfront about price for repair, offer rides home after we drop off a car (working with their schedule), perform excellent work in reasonable if not impressive time frame. The facility is pretty rustic, but despite appearances and being a "Mom & Pop" operation, all staff members have impressed us as professional and very competent.

They looked at the car right away, and repaired the heat shield quickly and efficiently.

Responsive and very reasonable. Repairing the wiring to the TPS Sensor saved me thousands of dollars. Other repair shops told me that I would probably need to replace the transmission. Four months later the car is still running as it should. I have used this shop with different cars over many years and they are consistently good at diagnosing and repair as well as pricing.

It was timely, I was able to get in within 3 days. They were punctual. They explained things to me when I had questions about the conditions and etc. The owner Dave had great communication for what needed to be done. It has only been a few days but everything seems to be done and functioning correctly. I was able to get a 5% discount for being an Angie's List which I liked. Slightly higher cost than some local shops.

Since driving out 1999 Toyota RAV4 from New York to Santa Fe, NM (its new home), the car has been sluggish in low gear.  We had heard this might be an effect of altitude, so we tried another larger car repair place in town.  They basically scratched their heads and said there was nothing to be done.  Some months later (driving past that same repair shop, ironically) the "check engine" light came on and the car stalled.  We gave Eldorado Automotive a shot at it because in the intervening time peirod, they had done some work on the car, and we were happy with their service.)  Glad we did so.  Dave went over the car thoroughly, pointed out some things that needed preventive maintenance and dug into the "check engine light" issue.  He found a dead oxygen sensor.  It took a while to get this fixed because the first sensor shipped to them was the wrong kind for our car and the second one was defective.  But, three's the charm.  The car is fixed and runs perfectly.

They were very accommodating. They told me all the information I needed to know and pointed everything out to me. I thought they were great. They were very prompt at getting me scheduled. The price for what I had done, a high mileage oil change, was very competitive!

It's refreshing finding an auto mechanic that will tell you if work actually has to be done.  He suggested cleaning the car thoroughly for the brake noise.  On the other vehicle he found an issue with the tires causing a vibration and rotated them so the noise and wear was reduced significantly.  
We will use them for all auto repairs and maintenance in the future.
