by 2012 HONDA ACCORD LX Owner on 03/18/2026Verified Service
I am very impressed by the level of detail Brown's off Signal gave me. They take pictures of everything they checked for, gave descriptions and summaries for the work they did, aspects of the vehicle that were in good condition, things to look out for and what would need to be prioritized for repair. Johnathan and Chris are very professional and knowledgeable. I absolutely and highly recommend!
by 2021 MAZDA 3 SELECT Owner on 03/13/2026Verified Service
I am always happy with the service I receive at Brown's, especially the courtesy of taking me home and picking me up to avoid a long stay while my car is being serviced. Sadly, the day after I had the oil changed, etc., I get an email coupon for an oil change special that would have saved me quite a bit of money. Sigh.
by 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Owner on 05/14/2026Verified Service
Actually there is noti didn't like. They explain what is necessary, the price and time frame. I am so happy that I learned about this place. They will continue to to be my go to place for both my Corvette and SUV.
by 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS Owner on 05/02/2026Verified Service
I own a 2010 Prius. Brown's Automotive Experts became my go to when I moved back to ABQ. Down to Earth prices. Staff will spend all day just on finding one part just for me. Respect.
by 2001 SUZUKI SWIFT GA/GL Owner on 04/11/2026Verified Service
Great value, didn't charge me for the Carfax report or the general inspection when they couldn't fix my issue due to lack of replacement parts. Would definitely recommend them and will be visiting them again in the future!
by 2013 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE Owner on 03/06/2026Verified Service
They were very fair in their diagnosis of both my VW beetle and my husband's Nissan Pickup Frontier. They are professional and treat everyone with respect. No judgements made about us making our own repairs!
by 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE/XLE/SE Owner on 01/29/2026Verified Service
I have been going to Brown's for a few years and two vehicles. They have been absolutely amazing every visit! They're professional, friendly, quick, communicative, and honest.
by 2016 NISSAN PATHFINDER S/SV/SL/PLAT Owner on 01/16/2026Verified Service
Great service but they always find more wrong with the vehicle at the last minute. This is the second car this has happened to that I have had service completed there. Always an additional cost
by 2007 DODGE CALIBER Owner on 12/02/2025Verified Service
I like the complete inspection with pictures of this older car, which makes it easier to fix what is necessary now, and what to fix later.
by 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY L/SE/LE/XLE Owner on 09/22/2025Verified Service
My car runs like brand new after my recent service at Browns Automotive Alameda. The Staff were professional and took the time to answer my questions related to my recent service and car maintenance issues.
by 2015 HONDA PILOT EXL Owner on 08/30/2025Verified Service
Gave me the basics. What were safety issues and what were things that we just need to watch right now.
by 2013 FORD C-MAX SE Owner on 05/01/2025Verified Service
They charged me $1,000.00 and didn't fix the problem. They had a million excuses. Then they said they could fix it for another $1,500.00. Obviously they replaced the wrong part the first time. I say they have inexperienced mechanics or just don't care. I could've thrown parts at it until I fixed it. I thought I was taking it to a professional.
by 2004 ACURA TSX Owner on 01/29/2025Verified Service
Browns was absolutely fantastic! Communication was amazing- let us know twice a day where they were at with repairs. Had Firestone do a diagnostic and what they " repaired" was incorrect after spending $100 plus on their diagnostic. Entire electrical went out while driving- scary. Browns got it right and fixed the issue.
by 2006 HONDA ELEMENT EX Owner on 01/02/2025Verified Service
Reluctant to do the service I requested wanting to sell me other more expensive alternatives and diagnostic testing. Over-priced compared to other local shops, I only went to them due to last-minute appointment availability. Seemed to have done a good job with the service I requested as it resolved the issue with my vehicle.
by 2023 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN SE Owner on 12/13/2024Verified Service
Brown's Automotive Experts provided excellent service and expertise when I took my Tiguan in for an oil change. They made sure that they used the correct oil called for by the manufacturer and did a thorough "well-car" inspection as well. They even gave me a ride home while they worked on the car. Highly recommend this business!
by 2016 FORD FUSION TITANIUM HYBRID Owner on 10/11/2024Verified Service
These folks are great. I usually have to take my car here after the dealer lets me down with incomplete or substandard work. Now I just start (and finish) here at Browns. Same great service as Dearholts. I even recommended them to my mother in law for some work on a chronic problem with her Ford Expedition. That was a risky move but Brown's came through and now I'm gold with my in-laws! Thanks Browns!!!
by 2003 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED Owner on 08/15/2024Verified Service
I already made a statement about how great Brown's Automotive experts were but my computer erased it. I said they took great care of my Jeep just like they did when the shop belonged to Jim Dearholt and they fixed everything I asked them to fix and also fixed things that had gotten in disrepair that I didn't know about. And my Jeep runs great now....
by 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX Owner on 06/19/2024Verified Service
Brown's Automotive Experts gets a 5 star rating for the repairs on my car. The comprehensive Vehicle Health Inspection with pictures and explanations made it easy to understand the necessary repairs. The work was done in one day and it is nice to have a 3 year/36000 mile warranty on the repairs. I will continue going to Brown's Automotive Experts.
by 1999 NISSAN ALTIMA XE/GXE/SE/GLE Owner on 12/17/2023Verified Service
Outstanding service! I discovered on the way to the shop that my windshield wipers were shot (it doesn't rain here very often, and the Sun just eats rubber). So I ask to tack on this little extra. No problem! Twenty minutes later my windshield wipers walk in the front door, and twenty minutes after that they are installed and I'm out the door. Best to the crew at Dearholt!
by 2009 BUICK LUCERNE CX Owner on 11/08/2023Verified Service
Dearholt is our go to for all car service. They are great to work with, from basic oil changes to more intensive work. When multiple repairs may be needed and cost may be a concern they will let you know which they would recommend and which can probably wait until later service. Super friendly as well : )
