American Repair Service

I had a trailer tire blow and none of the truck shops would change it. I called American repair service, he said he would change it. Then he asked me how much I wanted to pay? I asked how much it cost, you told me I would be shocked at how much he makes how much am I willing to pay. I said$30 or $40. He said he would do it if I came soon I told him I'd be there in 10 or 15 minutes. When I showed up no one was there and he wouldn't answer his phone. I called the motel I had booked in Oklahoma and had it changed to tucumcari because I had to wait until 8 in the morning when a regular tire shop open. Then he called me back it had already been about 45 minutes I can't tell you what I called him, but after that I hung up and went to my hotel. How much do I want to pay what a joke. Obviously people have had good experiences with him but not me. You remember what I called you and that's what I think you are.

So grateful I called. I had a wiring issue on my camper. I called and he was able to explain in detail what was wrong so I could fix it. I’m new to towing and he was very patient in explaining in detail how to fix the issue. So thankful

Not all heros wear capes!

There are no words to describe how lucky I feel that when we broke down on I40 in Tucumcari, NM, Don was there for us.

I was hauling my husband's three Harley Davidson's - two of them he inherited from his father who passed away in 2018, making them irreplaceable, and I had my MIL with me so she could check out our new state to see if she wants to come live with us.

We were travelling east and took an exit, which I honestly do not know why I did because it was not part on my route and I had no reason to get off the interstate. The off ramp is pretty steep and as my truck climbed the grade it began to loose torque. Trying to get off the road, onto the shoulder, I down shifted through the gears but I continued to lose torque and I couldn't get over. Then it died. I was able to start it back up but due to the weight of the trailer, trying to go forward would only kill the truck so I tried to use gravity to get to help me get to the shoulder. The power steering wasn't working and I could not keep my trailer straight. It ended up jackknifing with the rear dangerously close to the embankment. Knowing that trying to correct the situation would only result in my truck, trailer, the Harleys, my MIL and I several years down in the ravine. Top priority was to separate my truck and trailer at this point, so I chalked the trailer and managed to get the truck running long enough to get it out from under it's load and onto the shoulder. The trailer was still blocking half the road and it was going to be dark soon. Since it was no longer hitched up, there was no power to the lights and I knew It would only take one person not paying attention and the trailer would go over. My husband's Harley's would not have survived the impact.

Panic starting to set in, my mind raced trying to determine what to do next. I looked up and a vehicle was driving down the off ramp towards us.

Where I come from two women stranded on the interstate, in what appeared to be the middle of nowhere is expected to end badly, so when Don leaned out his window and asked if we needed help, all instincts told me to tell him no and send him on his way. However, we did need help and my husband, who is an OTR truck driver was 1000 miles away. Calling and waiting for help to come was quickly becoming more risky as the night grew closer. Choosing what I knew in my gut was the better of two very risky options, I went against everything that I know and said, yes.

Thank goodness I did! Turns out his yard was on the other side of the interstate and he could see everything happening from there. It was obvious that something wasn't right, so he decided to investigate. Don offered to first haul my trailer over to his yard and then he would come back to help with the truck. Not comfortable with letting my husband's bikes out of my custody I decided to go with him; another risky choice, I know. So I told my MIL the plan, asked her to take a picture of his vehicle and license plate, just in case, and we were on our way.

With the trailer and its precious cargo safe, the next step was the truck. Wanting to keep the truck, trailer, my MIL and myself together until I could call my husband and ask him what he would like me to do next, I opted to get my truck to his yard, as well. Once everything was, safe we made a plan to assess the truck in the morning and go from there. Don dropped us off at a motel, promising to be back in the morning. He even carried our bags to lobby and waited to leave until he was sure we had a room and were safe.

My truck is a diesel, but it's a 4-wheeler (trucker lingo for "not a big rig") and not the kind of vehicle he usually works on, so before I contacted him in the morning, Don had already lined out a local mechanic who agreed to make room in his busy schedule thay day to l diagnose the problem if we couldn't get it started. Luckily, we didn't need him because Don had us back up and running and on our way in less than an hour!

100% the person to call.
My family and I were in an RV trip across country and nobody would look at our our RV when we heard a scary noise coming from underneath. This guy looked at our RV, even had me drive it to try to diagnose. At the end we found out what it was and went on our way.
Amazing person, great service, and we could tell he cared about getting us back on the road safe.

I damaged my towing gear when I bottomed out my motor home. I took it to American Repair Service and the mechanic was able to make it usable again to get me home.
Great work.

I called a lot of different shops around to get some help with our Mack. Coolant leaks. Everybody declined the job saying either they are too busy or cannot fix it. When I called American Repairs service he did not hesitate, 30 min after the call, he was with our driver. He didn't have the right part but fixed it temporarily so our driver can make it to the dealership. This is what I call a Dependable and Honest mechanic. Rare to find. Thank you again !

Turbo clamp broke off on the side of the road he came out to replace it with new one pretty expensive. Got me back on the road. Thank God.

Our Dodge Ram Dually popped a tire and it messed up the brake caliper. These guys went out and got a new bolt for us and fixed us right up when no one else was open. They were very fair on price. Recommended.

Brook is the man! I was stranded and needed a simple jump and he was able to help me right away and way fair with price! Highly recommend him! Thanks Brook!

Good guy and very helpful.
I was traveling from dallas to Phoenix on August 2021 and got stuck in flash flood.
My car got flooded with water in a storm on Route 66.
The owner answered my call even tough he is out of town on vacation and recommended nearby mechanic shops.

Broke down on the side of the road! Our spring shackle broke on the rear axle of our fifth wheel!we couldn't go anywhere. He came and looked at it saw what he needed to do. It was fixed in 3 hrs and back on the Rd. This man is terrific. Highly recommend

Brook Shot was very professional and helpful. The turbo on my truck blew and I had the part shipped next day. I had an onion load and it was time sensitive… with his help I was able to go on my way within hours. His attitude and eagerness to do the job was on point. I highly recommend him if ever in need.

Had my transmission go out 3 miles from his shop, he came looked at it told me what went wrong, i limped it to his shop that night and he had the new one in and everything done in half the time the shop that put the last one in and it never shifted so nice, worth every dime to know the job was done right and i dont have to worry about it anymore, if your in the area and need work done he is the man to go to without a doubt

Brook was very polite and professional! .Knew exactly what the problem was quickly. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. And unlike any other small town interstate shop, he did not try to take advantage of us.

Guy went out looked at my truck for 2 minutes and said engine was seize and quoted me 5k for a new one and he offered to buy it from me. Dad and I worked on it and noticed starter screw was loose. We tighten it and engine started right away. This guy was taking advantage of us on a bad situation knowing our whole home was in that truck and we were stranded. Steer away. Shady guy

Call here first. This guy is a knight in shining armor and a real savior Driving from Phoenix Arizona to Chicago Illinois with my BFF whose a travel nurse for Covid-19. Her old school impala dropped it's muffler we were 20 miles west of tucumcari and called a couple of tow companies that were listed first and the wait was 1-3 hours. Brook came at once took the muffler off and fixed it the problem and had us back on the road in record time. Great guy incredible human being

This guy was great he gave us a amazing price for what we had wrong with our truck. He told us what it could be and it's now fixed .

Called in after hours and after a long and crummy moving day with 2 trailer tires not holding air. Stressed and concerned we had run thru a bunch of shrapnel on the freeway as all of them had been fairly new, we were greeted with fast and friendly professional help at an awesome price, and back on the road in under an hour. Highly recommend! Thank you American Repair Service and God bless!

Brooke went out of his way to help us when we were very far from home with a faulty car. It was on Sunday of a 3-day weekend and we would’ve been stranded without him. I would absolutely trust him with my car again.

Brooke was super speedy, responsive, and helpful. He quickly diagnosed and serviced our vehicle at a very very low price! We arent even from NM, but were traveling thru on a road trip and he fixed our car same day and saved our trip!!!! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing service! Came out to help us when we were broke down on the side of the road even though it was after hours and the cost was more than reasonable, especially considering how far he went out of his way to help! Wish there was a mechanic in my hometown so kind hearted and outgoing!

Was able to find the parts and get my trailer back on the road in less than 2 hours....on a Sunday....on Independence Day weekend....and they didn't overcharge!!! I was very appreciative and would highly recommend.

You don’t find this places often but when you do you keep them as contact if you travel like I do. The guy was great got my truck back going in no time!! He didn’t try to rob me like most of the places do. 5 star ⭐️ from me.

Very outstanding service. I broke down in the middle of nowhere, and called American Repair Service, Brooke showed up very quick and fixed my truck and charged me so reasonable price. Thank you!! Brooke is awesome!!

Outstanding Professional Service!!
-I had some welding/repair work done here and could not be happier. Even being late on a Saturday night, he went above and beyond to do the job right. I certainly appreciate someone who takes pride in their work.
-Most in this business would have taken advantage of my desperate situation and charge some ridiculous fee but definitely not the case here.
-Give this man your business and get back on the road!!

Had a coolant loss issue on a sunday. Called his shop. I met the owner Brook there. Figured out problem. He drove 50 miles to get parts to get me back on the road fast. Recommend his shop and top notch service to anyone on I-40 corridor near Tucumcari NM. Thx for keeping my wheels turning!! We need more shops like this across North America!

Great mechanic. I broke down on I-40 around 7PM and he came right away to tow my truck and started working on it that night. Was very polite and went out of his way to help us.

Broke down on I-40 with our 21 ft rv. Not even AAA would come tow us. Found American Repair Service on google & he was willing to help right away. Got to us as soon as he could. Was very professional and honest. Fixed our issues quickly & with care to get us back on the road. Highly recommend.

We were on a road trip and he really helped us out! He came on call and got our car fixed quickly and at a good price. He seemed like a very nice person

Incredible! Travelling. Found online. Did the job to absolute perfection. I feel safe driving down the road and highly recommend Brooke for any mechanical work.

Had exhaust rust/break off and now it's sturdy as can be.!

Thank God for Brook at American Repair Tucumcari!!
We searched all morning for our cat Lucky at the KOA
We didn’t think she got out and after many hours of tearing the RV apart, lots of tears and looking for her my husband heard her scratching up underneath the dashboard of the RV.
The Tucumcari KOA referred us to his company, American Repair. We called and he came over right away. He was able to crawl under and feel where our cat was. Then removed a dashboard panel and was able to retrieve our scared cat Lucky from underneath the dashboard. What a blessing he was to all of us!! I can only hope Lucky has learned her lesson and I believe she has. ❤️❤️
If anyone needs RV service in Tucumcari NM, Brook is your person to call!!
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Best repair service on I-40 between Albuquerque and Amarillo for autos, trucks, motorhomes and semis, probably motorcycles, too. Brooke, the owner, comes to you if you need him, checks out, identifies and repairs your problem and has you on your way ASAP without a hassle for a reasonable charge. Best service I've ever had on the road. He knows his business and it shows. Plus he's super friendly and goes the extra mile to please you. You'll be glad you called American Repair Service first.

Incredibly grateful to Brooke at
American Repair. He came out on
Talladega Sunday and replaced a Wheel
Bearing on our Tahoe with impressive
quickness. Overall great service, most
importantly he knows what he's doing.
My father was a mechanic and my
husband is as well, but was away from
his tools, Brooke is fair, and he knows
exactly what he's doing! Thanks again!

Passing thru it’s 95 degrees and our air goes out on the passenger side of our 2004 GMC 2500 diesel truck. Blowing hot air.
Seen Brooke’s review on Yelp so we gave him a call. He told us to bring it in.
He was just towing in another vehicle when we got there. He made a couple phone calls and his friend told him to recharge the Freon he said it might work. It did. He worked on both vehicles simultaneously and figured out the problems to both.
His prices are reasonable.
His Integrity is number #1
And he does Towing.

Brooke was absolutely amazing and I would give him more than 5 stars if this allowed. We broke down in Tucumcari on our move across country from the west coast to the east coast. The rear differential went out in our truck and we just googled a 24 hour repair service which happened to be American Repair Service and Brooke came to our rescue. He towed our trailer to our hotel and then towed our truck to his shop and even made sure we were safe in our hotel before he left us. He kept us informed on the progress he was making throughout the day. We never had to wonder or question what was going on with our truck. When he finished rebuilding our truck and we started our moving journey again, we unfortunately broke down again in Weatherford Oklahoma and once again Brooke drove out and came to our rescue. He stood behind his work! I have never met such an honest hardworking repair man as Brooke! I would recommend him and wish we lived closer to him so we could go to him with all our needed car repairs.

There's a reason why American Repairer has all five star reviews. Brooke is an honest and fair man! After breaking down in the 103 degree Tucamari heat on the interstate and finding engine coolant everywhere with an overheated engine close to 5 p.m., I thought I was in a heap of trouble. I called NAPA to see who they would recommend hoping they would send me to an honest mechanic shop and they said American Repair Service. Called Brooke and we become his top priority. We were back on the road in an hour and a half and that included Brooke going into town for parts. Very reasonable and I will always call him and make sure all my family and friends know about this spot just in case. Thanks American Repair!

We broke down and got towed back to Tucumcari, which I am glad we did. Brooke at American Repair Service helped us in every way possible to get us back on the road. Went above and beyond anyone I’ve every met. Truly a great guy, down to earth and reasonable prices. Really cares about other people and it shows. Extremely glad we got to meet.

Broke down headed out to California from Maryland. Brooke from American Repair Service has been super helpful and so nice. Not to mention he completely knows what he is doing. He went completely above and beyond with helping us get our truck back on the road as fast as he could. We have never met someone so nice as Brooke and we could not be more thankful for him and all his help.

Brooke fixed my Kenworth semitruck in very reasonable time and below his estimate over the phone . Can't express how thankful i am that he worked on my truck . 9 other guys i called were total rip off and priced through the roof just robbing . I wish all the guys who does semi truck road services were same efficient , reasonably priced and honest like Brooke . Best of luck sir .

Brook was the best .small shop but more then fair in price and service
Called him after hours be for shop open was will to come to me
I didn't want road call said i would call him back he called me and came in early with out added cost
As an owner operator every penny counts i highly recommend if you need assistance call this guy

So the trailer i was hauling across country bent and was dangerously close to causing an accident. Another company offered to fix it for more than the cost of the trailer ($400). I ended up renting a U-haul and needed to swap the load. The guys at the U-haul told me they were “to busy”! So the owner from American came, he confirmed that fixing the trailer could be pricey but he was more worried that the weight of my cargo might snap the axel and cause me to flip on the mountain roads. He was more concerned about my safety than the money and that meant a lot! So he helped me unload my trailer and load the U-haul. It was really hot and a very tasking job but the two of us got it done and me back on the road. I totally recommend this company for their honesty and caring! I would drive back to this shop for any concerns I have because I know I’m working with an honest caring person!

We were stranded in New Mexico with a leaking radiator. They went above and beyond to get us on the road again. Went to Amarillo Texas to get us a radiator, stayed up all night to get us done. We will definitely go there again if we need something and are even close to their location. You rock.

Can’t thank Brooke enough. He has really done a great job for me and my family best service out here! I definitely recommend him for any of your car/truck needs!

Really good and conscious mechanic. Brooke fixed my 2006 Toyota Tundra over Memorial Day weekend after the driver side ball joint failed and the front wheel came off in the middle of nowhere on NM 104 between Tucumcari and Las Vegas NM. He found parts, and replaced all the ball joints, front axils, and brakes on Sunday and Monday, Memorial Day, and also fixed damage cause by the front carriage dragging on the pavement. I don't think anyone or a better person to it fixed.
On memorial weekend driving through Tucumcari the front ball joints failed and Brooke at American Repair worked Sunday and Monday to get me going.
A mounth later an unimaginable thing happened. At 3pm on the Saturday of the Fourth of July weekend about 13 miles out of Tucumcari, the rear wheel came off my Tundra, ( the last tire shop in that worked on must have not tightened the lugs). When the wheel came off it also started a grass fire. I called Brooke right away, he called the fire department and towed me back to his shop. The fire department arrived just before the grass fire reached the truck. Brooke found parts, lugs bolts, break parts, and a new wheel drum and got my back on the road by 1am.

Fantastic customer service! When my diesel engine RV broke down on I-40 outsideTucumcari, I called American Repair, and Brooke went into immediate action to find a turbocharger for a 13-year old RV before I ever got my RV trailered to his shop. He offered to drive out to where I was broken down to diagnose the problem. He even called the towing service that AAA had requested for me to check when they would arrive. When we thought I might have to wait 4 days for a part to be delivered he made numerous calls on my behalf (to find a rental car, to arrange a driver to take us to get a rental car, to order the part I needed). He drove 25 miles to pick up the part, which ended up being the wrong part. I never have had a mechanic more interested in helping his customer than Brooke. And his cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend American Repair Service.

American Repair Service is great!!! Brooke answered our call before hours and met our driver at his shop. Excellent Service and helped get our driver back on the road quickly.

Back in January I was driving through Tucumcari on my way to Kentucky when my father's-in-law vehicle broke down. We are not from the area so we did not know who to call for service, especially at ~9:00 p.m. Thankfully, Brooke answered the phone when I called and we had the vehicle towed there. Due to circumstances outside of anybody's control, the vehicle could not be fixed that night nor the next day. My only option was to leave the vehicle at Brooke's which he allowed. Most other places will charge you an arm and a leg to store your vehicle but Brooke was very understanding and generous with his prices. For three months I communicated with Brooke and it was a joy every time. When I finally was able to pass back through, Brooke was kind enough and directly helped us load our vehicle onto a car-dolly. In short, I could not have done it without Brooke.

I tell my friends that Tucumcari is the last place on Earth you want to break down, but if you do, call Brooke. After our exchanges over the months, I now consider Brooke a friend.

A buddy and I recently broke down after a long cross country drive, luckily we were broke down here in Tucumcari, NM. Luckily American Auto Care was here to save the day, they are more than willing to go out of there way to help those in need. Great service!

FANTASTIC SERVICE. Brooke helped us in our journey around the states better than anyone else. If you are in Tucumcari I highly recommend this over anyone else in the area.

I broke down on the freeway near Tucumcarie and within 3 hours of my phone call he had the problem diagnosed, found the part, made the repair and had me on my way. I was one happy truck driver!

Brooke was amazing and genuinely concerned with helping us. He was very attentive to our emergency situation by working us in quickly. He came to our motel and assessed our problem which didn't require his service to resolve. He suggested our solution and whom to use. He followed us to the tire place making sure we got there safely without further damage to our truck. He is awesome! He did this without charging us & we wanted to give him something, so he suggested a donation which we gladly gave. We highly recommend Brooke and would use him again in a heartbeat.

Brooke was great! His son let us know he had the parts to repair the trailer we were pulling even though every other shop told us it would be the next day. He worked late into the night to get us back on the road. When we left we realized that the problem was bigger than a couple of blown tires tearing some stuff up. He was back at his shop for us at 6am. Found out what the problem was and worked exhaustively to get us on our way. Even with everything that needed to be done he got us on our way in time to make our destination deadline. Not only did he get it done the trailer pulled so much better. Our mpg improved and it was like the trailer wasn't even back there. Great job Brooke! Thank you again for everything.

Top notch! Great communication and friendly service! Took care of us at 1 o'clock in the morning, and didn't take advantage of the fact that we were from out of state and in a bind. Even offered my driver a ride the next day if he needed it. Thanks 100 X over!

Brooke drove over 30 miles to where my tractor trailer was broke down. Found the problem quickly and fixed it. Back on the road within an hour!!! Prompt, professional, fair priced service. Highly recommend and have already shared with my company so that they call Brooke whenever someone is in need near Tucumcari, NM. Well done. Thanks so much!!

Needed emergency repair done to my big rig and brooke( the owner) came out and towed my truck to his shop! Diagnosed the problem quickly had the parts ordered and repaired me the next day in less than 2 hours! Prices are great and very professional. Would really recommend this over ANY truck repair shop and truck stop. Thanks again brooke! (Calvin)

This is my go to place,Brooke is a life saver, if he can’t get it he will make it, he’s gotten me out of several binds,outstanding service with great prices, I highly recommend, me and my guys all use him, thanks Brooke

Our brakes were acting up on a road trip with our family and we called this shop. Brooke wasn't in at the time but he came out on his time off and took a look at our van for us. He was very polite and helpful. He did a brake service and a thorough diagnosis of our issue.

My son and I were stranded in Tucumcari on a trip just before Christmas, and Brooke saved the day. He really went over the top, not just with the effort he put into the truck, but picking me up at the hotel, and helping get other things arranged. Worked late into the night on Saturday and the Sunday before Christmas to get us home on time. He didn't charge nearly what it was worth to me to get us home, I am eternally grateful.

very helpful, a little expensive but he got us in at 2 in the morning and did a great job.

Called for help at 9:30 at night and he was at our door within 15 minutes. Very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend! Thank you for coming to “rescue” us!

I was VERY impressed with this automotive repair and the owner himself! My mother and I were traveling through New Mexico and found ourselves broken down on the highway. We called American Automotive Repair and the owner himself responded to our call. He tried to fix our vehicle on the side of the road but ended up having to tow our vehicle into his shop. We decided that we might need to get a hotel and this man drove us to a hotel in his own personal vehicle. He ended up fixing the car at a very reasonable price. I can't say enough about the hospitality we received. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone. -Stacey from Oklahoma

Brooks did a great job fixing my Mercedes, that broke down on I-40. The customer service at ARS is top notch. My car needed an uncommon part, which the owner of American repair service, drove 90 miles to acquire. Shuttle to the hotel, after hours communication and top notch work. All of this, add a cost less than what I’m used to paying my regular, big city mechanic. American repair service made the best out of my bad situation. Thanks!

Ran out of gas was his first call out for a pickup came out quick didn't gouge me on the price awesome service definitely a great guy to do business with
