My daughters 2003 Mazda Protege was overheating and needed to be towed to Daniels shop. We got to talking when I got down there and I got worried it could be a blown head gasket. Daniel could see I was worried about it and so he immediately went into action and tested the car to make sure it held pressure in the block. (And let me just say it was after hours.) Daniel was on his way home when I got down there. Daniel and his brother Dallas really do care about their customers and treat them like they would want to be treated if they were the customer. By the Book has been taking care of my families car needs since 2010 when Daniel was a mobile service. I have never been disappointed by the quality care I get from By the Book. - Don D.

Service was awesome and Daniel was very prompt and precise. He's my new Diesel mech.. - Dexter B.

Excellent customer service, honest transactions, thorough service, affordable prices. This is the best mechanic I have ever used. Daniel explains what it going on, is patient and always friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on all things vehicle. I will continue to go here for my automotive needs. I have had work done on my Jeep for my cooling system, various items for my Nissan ultima including, CV joint, transmission work, and brakes. I have brought potential vehicle purchases for inspection prior to purchase and have received thorough and unbiased investigations which helped me with my purchase. - Jeremy O.

These fine techs have an amazing client interface, with a quick in and out experience. I brought my truck to them with a fuel system issue and they had me on the road two days later for a very reasonable cost. Thank you By The Book!! - Patrick W.

There are such amazing people at this shop. Fast service! - Susan M.

By the Book Diesel and Auto Repair has been working on my vehicles Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet for a few years now. The service and workmanship they provide is professional and top quality. The work that is provided is done in a timely matter. I highly recommend family, friends, and anyone who need auto repairs done. Five Star in my book. - Austin W.

These guys were able to troubleshoot and fix an electrical problem I had been living with for more than a year on my 03 Dodge Ram 2500, and very quickly. They took into account the troubleshooting work and parts replacement I had already done, were very communicative throughout the process, and charged me a very reasonable price. I plan to go to By the Book for all my future auto repair needs, and I highly recommend you do too! - Matthew

Great place! I was met with friendly staff that are honest. Also, very fair with pricing. - Zachary W.

Me and my daughter were in town and broke down over 4th of July weekend. Daniel at By the Book Auto Repair was the only one that answered the phone. We barely made it to his shop, which he met us there after hours to take my truck in. He was very professional and helpful. I am from Kansas and travel to Albuquerque, NM often. He called me a few times to keep me updated on any issues with the truck. I went back to pick up the truck, drove it all the way home without any issues and it has been great! Great work and very reasonable price! I have saved their phone number and address as we are there often. Highly recommended his shop. - Luis P.

I've used them many times and they always provide me with good service that I can rely on! - Alfred L.

I was passing through town and experienced some vehicle trouble. I called before the listed opening time and they answered the phone. They were able to identify the problem, fix it, and had me back on the road. - Paul G.

First rate shop. They are absolutely my go to mechanic. Great communication, listened to my concerns, and addressed them all. Very honest and reputable shop. If you are in need of service on your vehicle, don't look any further; call them today. - Ryan F.

Daniel and his crew are incredible! I have a 97 7.3 diesel that has been somewhat troublesome (parts constantly going out on it, it's an old truck you know?). Every time something goes wrong with my truck, the whole process with By the book is painless and easy. Daniel always finds a way to get my truck in quickly(they've even squeezed me in for a same day appointment a couple of times).They'll constantly call and keep me updated through out the whole process, so I never feel like I'm in the dark. They also do incredibly fast and phenomenal work. You never feel like "just another customer" with By The Book. They treat you like family. Needless to say, I won't trust anyone else to work on my truck. My only complaint is that I can't rate more than 5 stars! - Arthur O.

So happy to have called this guy when my F250 went down, literally the day before I was supposed to travel. Daniel and his team bent over backwards to help me and make sure I could get on my way asap. They were very respectable and kept me informed during the whole process. I have told everyone I know on base to go here for vehicle repairs and would tell anyone that is in Albuquerque to use these guys! - Jerry P.

Excellent customer service and exceptional workmanship! I've been coming here for years and I just took my truck in for 200K service and she's running almost like brand new. I attribute a lot of that mileage to the great service I get here. I really appreciate how my service needs are broken down (need now/safety, soon, eventually) before starting any work. Honesty and integrity are commonplace here. - Ed C.

 

We were passing through ABQ from out of state and suddenly needed a hub and bearing replacement on our F250 Superduty. The truck was also due for new brakes and fuel filters. Daniel and his crew worked until 8PM to ensure that we could get back on the road safely - the same day. Thank you! - Seth H.
