A-1 Automatics & Towing

We brought our truck in with what we thought was a transmission problem. Darrin diagnosed and informed us that it wasn’t the transmission but saw other problems. He fit all the repairs into his schedule and fixed the problems. He even stayed late one night to get us our vehicle back before we left town. I recommend A-1 Automatics will bring my cars back here in the future.

Just over a week ago on a late Friday afternoon we were cruising along to our vacation spot in Red River to spend the next week when we heard bad mechanical noises coming from below. We barely got pulled off to the side of the road (no shoulder) while pulling our camper and side x sides. I called a couple places and no one nearby could help, called a tow company and they appeared helpful however after an hour we still did not know if or when they would come. One of the places I called advised us to call A 1 Automatics, who was both a tow company and a transmission shop. They were an hour and a half away in Trinidad, Co. By this time we knew it was our torque converter, fly wheel, and hopefully little else. I'm bad with names however I called and believe I spoke with the owner who asked a f

The transmission in our truck died as we were driving through Trinidad. We found A-1 Automatics. Darren did a terrific job. A few days later, our transmission had been rebuilt completely. I told Darin I would write a good review if we made it over at the Berthold Pass. We did make it just fine. Almost like having a new truck!

Blew my radiator hose about 20 miles from this shop. AAA wanted to wait 8 hours to send a tow truck my way when I was on the side of the highway. I called the shop and Darin answered promptly and was able to get to my location with minimal details since there were no mile markers. He came in a tow truck within an hour and for the distance the pricing was more than fair. He even called into his part distributors on the trip to the shop for the parts I needed for the repair and performed it same day within an hour and a half of picking me up in the tow truck. Fantastic service, fair pricing, and knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend

I recently broke down in Raton, NM while driving to Denver to visit my daughter and son in law and attend the Blink-182 concert. I called a couple of places in Raton, but no one had availability, but one of them recommended A1 Automatics. I gave them a call and within an hour Darren showed up with the tow truck and took me to his shop in Trinidad, CO. Darren needed to take another car into Boulder to have it's AC system recharged and offered to give me a ride to Boulder so my daughter wouldn't need to make a 6 hour round trip to come get me in Trinidad. Darren is one of the nicest people I have had the privilege of meeting in my 59 years. He was very helpful and extremely considerate, and very fair in his pricing. I highly recommend him, and A1 Automatics. Thank you Darren, you're the best
