"Needed my car looked at while driving through and came here on a Saturday when nobody else in town was open. Trustworthy guy. Would come back in a heartbeat."

"Just over a week ago on a late Friday afternoon we were cruising along to our vacation spot in Red River to spend the next week when we heard bad mechanical noises coming from below. We barely got pulled off to the side of the road (no shoulder) while pulling our camper and side x sides. I called a couple places and no one nearby could help, called a tow company and they appeared helpful however after an hour we still did not know if or when they would come. One of the places I called advised us to call A 1 Automatics, who was both a tow company and a transmission shop. They were an hour and a half away in Trinidad, Co. By this time we knew it was our torque converter, fly wheel, and hopefully little else. I'm bad with names however I called and believe I spoke with the owner who asked a few questions and was on his way. Friends who had arrived before us came out and got our camper and toys for us, moving them to our campground. A 1 Automatics took the truck to Trinidad , he understood we needed the truck to get us home the following Friday. I canceled the other tow company who said they had someone on the way, however failed to let us know, and interestingly no one saw another tow truck. Transmission work is never cheap however they let us know what needed to be done and what didn't, as well as the cost. They used better quality parts and had us up and running for less money than we thought and by the following Thursday morning. We had absolutely no issues during the 10 hour trip back home. My husband and I truly appreciate these folks getting us in, taking care of us in a timely manner, and at a fair price. If your in the Trinidad Co., area and have trouble these are the guys to call.

"The transmission in our truck died as we were driving through Trinidad. We found A-1 Automatics. Darren did a terrific job. A few days later, our transmission had been rebuilt completely. I told Darin I would write a good review if we made it over at the Berthold Pass. We did make it just fine. Almost like having a new truck!"
