Northeast Heights
I don't write online reviews, but out of gratitude I feel it is important to write this one. A few months ago I was on a road trip driving from Texas to Colorado. My car broke down near Albuquerque on a Saturday (when most auto shops are closed) and I had the car towed - AAA brought it to Don's. I had to continue on the trip in a friend's car that was part of the road trip and leave my car in Albuquerque for a mechanic to look at. To add to the complications - I wouldn't even be able to make it back to Albuquerque for a few days due to my obligations in Colorado. I called Don's and spoke with Cliff on Monday. I explained the situation and he agreed to take a look at the car. Long story short: I was in a terribly stressful situation, worried about my car, and in a different state. They had every opportunity to take advantage of that but instead Cliff was able to diagnose the problem (not even mechanical - bizarre issue with tires), treated me with the utmost respect, and was very understanding of the situation - agreeing to provide storage for my car until I could get back to Albuquerque a few days later. They are a smaller shop and it probably wasn't easy for them to have my car there taking up space without being worked on, but they bent over backwards to accommodate the crappy circumstances I was in. I offered to pay for the storage of the car but since they didn't do any mechanical work they didn't charge me anything. What started off as a disaster was mitigated by the staff at Don's (and especially Cliff) and I can't thank them enough.
