What Others are Saying

Needed a 50k service for our RAV4 while driving through Durango. They fit us in on the spot and did a great job. Didn’t pressure us to buy anything we didn’t need, kept it simple and easy. Thanks again guys! Definitely recommend bringing your vehicle in.

I am so grateful to have a garage where I can trust that what the technicians tell me is truth, that my repair will not be exaggerated and I am charged a fair price.The technicians have many years of experience, and I have found Zack to be honest and forthright.
- Denise D.
Great service. Even when in a pinch because  I was in town for vacation, not only did they fit me in, their first recommendation was for an off the shelf product (an attempt to help ensure we didn’t miss any ski days). Dropped it back off for a full diagnostic before we left for home and the full repair was completed within 2 hours. Highly recommend this place.
- Jon W.
Had a wonderful experience at Stones Garage. The service was fast, reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly. They sent an itemized quote for my 50k mile checkup and didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t need. As someone that’s been previously intimidated by auto-shops I was so pleased with my experience here. Would recommend to anyone.
- Sarah N.
Staff is great! Every single person I interacted with was kind, patient and helpful. They got me in after a pretty serious issue and taken care of in time to hit the road just a day and a half later when I needed to catch a flight out of Albuquerque. Prices are very fair! Highly recommend!

Zach and his crew are great.  Had my car in for a service and they got everything done at a super fair price.  Dropped my car off at 8:30 and it was ready by 10:15.  Refreshing to have a good car shop like this.
