Brown's Automotive Experts

Albuquerque Automotive Repair Shop

This is the Browns Automotive original location in the heart of the North Valley of Albuquerque. It all started here back in 1986 when Donald took the shop over from his uncle Bob Killough. Nolan and Dustin grew up in this shop with their older brother Zach, youngest sister Anna and our uncle Arlie Brown. This is where the Brown brothers started! Our father has retired and handed down the reigns and the Brown brothers have taken ownership.

This facility has been repairing and maintaining cars, trucks, tractors, trails, RV’s and anything with wheels and a motor in Albuquerque sense the 1950’s! One could call it a historic site. We focus on preserving the history of this building by keeping the classic Rt. 66 retro appearance. This building can be found in old Rt. 66 photography books all over the world!

Focusing on staying up to date with vehicle repairs in Albuquerque while maintaining exceptional quality of service is what has given us the great reputation we continue to maintain today. This is where it all started and where the roots are largest. The building may look old, but the tools and equipment are for from it. With over $500,000 invested in tools and equipment, you can be assured that we have the tools and equipment needed to fix the modern vehicles of today!
