Jay Walton Automotive

I’ve been taking my ’97 Olds Achieva to Jay Walton Auto on Central Avenue for about 10 years now and have really appreciated their professionalism, honest and workmanship. I found them when we moved to ABQ by checking out the AAA approved auto services closest to where we live and they filled that bill nicely. Location and convenience was part of the choosing, but staying there depended on consistent acceptable (to me) service and advice. Walton Auto had told me for a few years now that I had a slow oil leak that wouldn’t really damage anything and that I could keep the $$$ in my checking account until it got worse. Well, it did, and what we thought was going to be a $ 1.200 head gasket job turned out to actually be a $ 200 oil pressure sender. Clearly they could have done the more expensive job and I wouldn’t have known the difference … but they «did the right think» by me once again … and that’s why I will keep going back and back and back to have them keep my paid-​for baby going. They are good folks!

friendly staff. quick to answer questions. my car is always happy when we leave there

I have been taking my cars to Jay Walton Automotive since 1995, when I moved to Albuquerque. I have been thoroughly satisfied year after year.
In 1995, Jay Walton’s was the only AAA recommended service facility in Albuquerque. AAA has since started recommending others, but Walton’s is the oldest.
Mechanics are top notch, service has always been excellent. Being as established as they are, they do tend to be extremely busy, so for maintenance work it’s best if you make an appointment rather than just dropping in — you’ll have less of a wait and be happier for it.
