"We broke down on the side of I-25 south of Trinidad on a Saturday. We were able to get off the interstate on an exit. We called AAA roadside service and asked for a tow back to Trinidad. After 2 hours we still hadn't been towed or been told we were in line so we started looking for a tow service ourselves. I left a message on the voice-mail and didn't expect a call back. Only one other company answered their phone and would be 4-5 hours out. After about 45 min to an hour A1 called us back and was able to be to us in 20 min. He was nice and asked where we would like to go. We asked for a sit down restaurant where we could wait for our ride back to Colorado Springs. The driver dropped us at a nice establishment and promised to have our vehicle looked at 1st thing Monday morning. I love the kindness of small town people!"

"Darin Damelio has my highest respect as a business owner and as a person. My wife and I were driving our 1999 Lexus RX 300 to Austin, TX to deliver it to our son over the Thanksgiving holiday when it dropped its transmission just outside of Raton, NM. We had it towed to A-1 Automatics, rented a car, and continued to Austin. Over the course of a couple of weeks I communicated with Darin about what to do with the vehicle. Darin researched new and used parts and quoted me a price. I checked with my long time mechanic in Colorado Springs and he affirmed that the price Darin quoted was very reasonable. Eventually, we decided our best option was to sell the car to Darin, and in our negotiations he was not only fair but also very pleasant, even displaying a good sense of humor. The integrity he has, especially considering how he could have easily taken advantage of the situation, was most impressive. Interactions involving automobile repair can be difficult, and it was our good fortune to have met Darin Damelio. I could not recommend anyone more highly."

"I highly recommend this business! We were on the highway and experienced transmission issues 7 hrs from home. They reset everything, and we were able to limp the truck home to Okc. They even offered to let us borrow a vehicle, which we didn't need. Great service, honest people, and reasonable prices."
