Great response and a good job. Thank you!

At present I can't give an opinion on the work of replacing my transmission as the thermostat went out while in Zia shop. The tranny was 5 grand,the thermostat is 1300 and I have been in the vehicle since repair of tranny about 100 miles. I will leave a f/u assement after I get to drive my 2017 colorado. I figured 3 stars are about what I can give at this time. Front office people are good. Mechanics are an unknown at this time.

Nov 20, 2024

These guys did a great job diagnosing and replacing my catalyc converter for about 1000.00 dollars cheaper than the chevy dealership wanted. Great job guys!


Nov 20, 2024

Updated from a 10/4/24 service: excellent as usual! Great mechanics. We love dealing with Joe. He’s great. Explains needed, recommended and/or to think about down the road services required. Thanks again for a great job done! Updated 6/21/24: great service as usual. Joe Rep is awesome (as are the whole staff)! Quality workmanship, reasonably priced, and always friendly. Thanks once again Zia! First class service and expertise! The service guys were all super friendly and helpful. Joe R, the manager was awesome. He kept me informed, throughout the whole process. Reasonably priced as well. Clean, professional environment and facility too!

Chuck from Zia Automotive might be the most honest mechanic I have ever worked with. He could have easily charged us a ton of money but he was honest with us and just so kind. Would recommend 10/10.


Nov 13, 2024

It's a great shop, friendly, on time, certified mechanics, and uses NAPA Auto Parts for all replacements


Nov 13, 2024

My experience at Zia was absolutely great! Chuck was my point of contact and his service was outstanding. Honest, knowledgeable, accommodating and above all professional. This is now my go to place for anything automotive. Thank you Zia!

This shop and it's employee's have been awesome. When I was having issues with my car and calling around to shops to get an quote for the repair. I had a check engine light going off and had auto zone run the test to see why so I had an idea of what was wrong. All the other shops I had spoke with just quoted me this shop actually told me that they would need to run their own diagnostic as there were multiple parts that could kick that error. Which none of the other shops had mentioned. I very much appreciated them telling me this.


Nov 06, 2024

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONEST AND STRAIGHT FOWARD. QUOTED THE WORK NEEDED AND COST BEFORE HAND.GOT IT DONE EFFICIENTLY AND HAD MY TRUCK DONE WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. MY TRUCK IS RUNNING LIKE NEW AGAIN. ITS A FORD 2015 F 150 2.7 ENGINE TWIN TURBO .THEY ARE GREAT AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ZIA AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I was driving cross country and my starter decided to fail on me. Zia was able to take me in last-second and fix my car in a few hours. What a great assist! Staff was also super friendly and communicative on the service as well as expected finish time for my car. Really saved me on my trip and having to stay in Albuquerque a few more nights!


Oct 30, 2024

Diagnosed difficult problem others could not and fixed within short time. Great communication whenever I called. Thanks to Chuck and your team!


Oct 27, 2024

Communication is key for me which is why I ended I at Zia and I was pleasantly treated the whole time. My Service Advisor, Brendan, was fantastic about updating me on my car’s progress. The total was very fair, even if I hate to pay it, and they even took care of a few little things I’d mentioned were issues, at no charge. I don’t think it cost them much to do it but it definitely earned them a repeat customer. I appreciate the fast work and the friendly service, from the advisors to the techs.


Oct 27, 2024

It’s always a pleasant experience with these guy’s services!. Fast and reliable work! Here at Al’s upholstery we sent our company vehicles in for alignments and other services and we are very satisfied! We highly recommend Zia to anyone needing vehicle services!


Oct 27, 2024

Pure excellence! Use them if you want it dome right!!


Oct 27, 2024

The ZIa team went above and beyond to take care of me. My alternator went out on a Saturday and I needed to travel the next day and the Zia team found a way to squeeze me into their busy schedule and replace my alternator!


Oct 27, 2024

The staff at Zia were friendly, got me in last minute, and took care of me same day for brakes and rotors. In and out within 2 hours. Rare to find in Albuquerque. I really appreciate your team and will be back again (hopefully not soon LOL)


Oct 27, 2024

Zia Automative is amazing ! I needed to get my break light replaced at short notice and they got me in. Everyone was very nice and accommodating! Thank you James for all your help! Beautiful place very clean!


Oct 27, 2024

Zia is awesome! They saved me a lot of $ on my European car repair. And they don't cut corners and do the job right.


Sep 27, 2024

Brought in my 2006 chrysler 300c for a serpentine belt a pullie and a thermostat houseing. Wanted to charge me over $800 I said hell no took the car home picked up the parts my self new for $122 and it took me 20 mins to put them in. Will not be going back.


Sep 27, 2024

Chuck kept me updated on my repairs and was very helpful, my repair was excellent.


Sep 27, 2024

Did a good job for me when I need to get done same day other places had to have appointment to get service done


Sep 27, 2024

Fantastic service that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this place.


Sep 27, 2024

Great communication from Chuck Mitchell, once again. Thought my’98 dodge truck was running pretty good, and brought it to the shop because of a failed emissions test. After correcting issues with the transmission, O2 sensors and catalytic converter, the vehicle has much improved power and takeoff, and holds registration in BernCo. Not cheap, but better than fair.


Sep 27, 2024

I was referred to Zia Auto by Costco. So my expectation of great service was surpassed. Their yard has excellent protection, so your vehicle will be safe. The waiting area is very comfortable. The price for their service is right on.


Sep 27, 2024

Most recent visit: I took the car in for clutch repair. They did an excellent job as always. Chuck is very friendly and kept me updated with the progress. It took a week and 2 days to finish but it is worth the wait because they always do a great job. I always recommend this shop to anyone who needs trusted mechanics for car repair. I decided to return to Zia Automotive Repair because they have good ratings and do a good job. They fixed my car by replacing a part. It is working very well so far. They are expensive but I trust they know how to fix cars. Chuck was very friendly and kept me informed of the process. I would return again just need to have money saved for potential car repairs. A few weeks earlier: We took my son's car he had just bought for some minor repairs. They found the transmission was bad and recommended another shop. They did not charge us for this and that was great. A couple weeks later we took it back to get two lug nuts put on it. The studs were broken off. They charged $400. They said it took them two hours to do it. They did a good job but I think it was too expensive for what it was. Also the car had a large scratch on one of the doors it did not have when we dropped it off.


Sep 27, 2024

So professional and courteous. Chuck kept me appraised with explanations and estimates all along the way. Steve even gave me a ride to my car from my workplace. I have already referred three people at work. I thought an honest mechanic was an oxymoron, but Zia Auto proved me wrong!!!! They are awesome!!!


Sep 27, 2024

They were super helpful & listened to my concerns. I had my breaks changed & an oil change & got my car back same day, no appointment.


Sep 27, 2024

Took my car in to serviced , was ver. Helpful until unfortunately a week and a half later she died on me in the middle of the street . After they said it was good to go! Hopefully it works out this time. Will update After taking cat back in they guys got her running tight. Even after financial issues on my end they worked with me till the end! Appreciate you all!
