Such a relief to find a trustworthy auto repair shop. They were kind, patient, and transparent about the work needed. No pressure, no surprises—just solid, honest service. Highly recommended! Thank you!
Took my 2007 F150 in for repairs he was quick and solved the problem that nobody else could figure out. Others were telling me that I might need a motor, but Rafa checked it out he took care of the problem 600.00 instead of 5000.00 for engine. I will recommend Rafa automotive to everyone.
This mechanic gave me a realistic analysis which coincided with what other mechanics had said, but I haven't worked with him before so that tells me a lot about his level of honesty and integrity. I would recommend.
Highly recommend Rafa's Auto Repair. Recently broke down on a cross country trip near Santa Fe and Rafa was able to diagnose the problem with our truck that same day and get us on our way the following morning. Excellent mechanic, very …
We bring all 4 of our vehicles to Rafa. He's done everything from simply replacing shocks to a complete engine install. Always professional, friendly, honest and the work is excellent. We won't go anywhere else.
There is a reason this mechanic has the best reviews! Rafael was honest with my partner about their Acura TL and it's problems, which were different from what another mechanic told us. Knowing we didn't know him at all, he offered to let us …
If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy mechanic who works at a fair price, then Rafa is your guy. He always makes sure that the job is done right. I am so happy with the service that I have referred all my friends and family. …
One of the most amazing honest places I have ever experience. Being a female is never easy to find someone who you can feel sure that you are not going to get filled with unfair pricing and respect. He and his associates are welcoming and …
Only reason I hate sharing the experience is to keep this place to myself. Rafa is awesome… turnaround time? also awesome. Price? Well, honestly I can't recall the last time a SF mechanic final bill was even 'proximity' to the estimate. …
Rafa is amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. I was traveling through Santa Fe and smelled whiffs of gas when I would turn on …
I had the absolute BEST experience at Rafa's for an unexpected car emergency during my vacation in Santa Fe. All of the other shops that I called had no availability for a week, but Rafa's took me in and got to working on my vehicle ASAP. I …
Rafa provided exceptional service for my vehicle, and I would not hesitate to visit him for repairs again. I came from out of town with a cracked axle on my Corolla, which was replaced quickly at his shop. The pricing was affordable and he …
I was traveling across country. It turned out that my car needed an alternator replacement which was also under warranty. Rafa not only gave me a good price he took the alternator to O'Reilly to do the swap to help us out! He is honest and …
Rafa was super knowledgeable and competent. My car is running better than ever. Definitely recommend this shop!
Very honest shop with affordable pricing for parts and diagnosing. The owner Rafa has amazing customer service and really knows what he's doing. I was able to get seen the same week and get in and out with him solving my problem. HIGHLY recommend!
Short version: Rafa's work makes the drive to Santa Fe worth the time and distance. Recently moved to Albuquerque with an aging car I don't want to give up. Rafa's skills as a licensed mechanic, his professionalism, integrity, and …
Could not be more thankful for finding Rafa. He checked out our old, high mileage Subaru and gave us great advice and charged us an extremely reasonable price to top up all our fluids and change our oil. Met two other people that were waiting for service that also sang his praises and were regular customers. Strongly recommend!
My truck had a fractured exhaust manifold. It was rusted. I began the work myself and quickly realized I was in over my capabilities and resources. After researching local mechanics, I found Rafa's. Contacted Rafael and explained my …
My truck broke down while camping in the Pecos and my tow truck driver recommended I go to Rafa's for repairs. Very concerned that I'd be laid up multiple days at a hotel while parts were ordered and repairs made, Rafa had my truck repaired …
I grew up in the area and now go back from time to time to help out my mother. This is the second mechanic I've worked with in Santa Fe and it was the best experience so far. I visited them today for an oil change, and in addition, they …
Great service! The guys were very respectful! I got my brakes, filters and oil change. Best prices around compared to other places. When I went to discount tire to get my tires balance and rotated they stated my rotors are bad and needed to …
Friendly, highly skilled, honest, reasonable and quality service! Rafa's Auto Repair has been great no matter the issue with my vehicle! My most recent visit was for an ABS light on the dashboard. With their expertise and electronic tools, the problem area was quickly identified! I highly recommend Rafa's Auto Repair!
I had an excellent experience at Rafa's Auto Repair. I took my vehicle in today for standard maintenance, underbody inspection and tire rotation. Extremely happy with the professionalism, service and integrity. I'm glad to find a good mechanic in Santa Fe and will definitely be taking my vehicle there again. …
Rafael is a trustworthy, kind, and fair man. In the time that mi esposa y yo have lived aquí en Santa Fé, he's been our go to mechanic. As long as we live in Northern New Mexico, this will be our shop.
You can't spell rad without Rafa! Was passing through town and needed to get my front wheel hubs/bearings assembly replaced (badly). I already had the parts and just needed a competent mechanic to do the work, ideally quickly and …
Had the best experience. New to Santa Fe New Mexico originally from Santa Cruz CA. Rafa made me feel as if I was home, took care of my RV 86 Toyota radiator that was leaking. Replaced right there on spot, was a magician with his team. Would recommend anyone that is suspect on auto repair in Santa Fe to call Rafa's Auto.
While visiting Santa Fe recently my Jeep overheated. A nearby parts store, where I stopped for radiator fluid, recommended Rafa's shop. I stopped in and he dropped what he was doing, tested my car and had me out in about 30 minutes. Great job... Thanks!
Rafa fixed the issue with my truck super quickly and at a fair rate. I highly recommend going to see him for auto repairs!
Hands down the best car repair shop I've ever been to. Felt he didn't take advantage of the fact I was a female. Good price and have never had any issues with any of the work these guys have done for me. Very happy and would truly recommend to anyone!!!
Replaced lower arm controls on my car and complete brake job on my son's car at very reasonable prices. Service was fast and professional. Highly recommend.
This is the only place my daughter or I take our vehicles. Rafael is a great and honest mechanic and gets our vehicles done correctly. I recommend Rafa's Auto Repair if you want your vehicle done right and done in a fair amount of time and a honest price.
Raf and his crew are fantastic! We were stuck, he looked at it and got us going again. Stranded, know no one and nervous. Raf put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands …
Rafa's is the best in Santa Fe. Honest and professional, a godsend of a mechanic. …
This place is the best to take your car in to get fixed, I will highly recommend it. Rafa is a super patient person when it comes to your vehicle needs, he explains everything with detail, I don't trust any other mechanic on my vehicles …
Excellent service! One of the front head lights was out — the part was ordered and replaced in a very short time. I will go back for future mechanic's work.
Great shop, very knowledgeable and fair. Would recommend Rafa to anyone looking to get their vehicle repaired.
Rafa is a great mechanic and very honest, we've been going to him for years.
