🍂 The Corgis are ready for the cooler weather—but is your car? 🐾
Albuquerque mornings are getting chilly! Before the true New Mexico winter hits, make sure your vehicle is ready to handle the drop in temperature. Here is a quick checklist to keep you safe on the road:
🔋 Battery: Cold weather drains batteries fast. Let us test it before you get stranded!
🌡️ Coolant/Antifreeze: Ensure your mix is right to protect your engine block from freezing.
🚗 Tires: Check your tire pressure and tread for a safe grip on slick roads.
👁️ Wipers & Fluid: Swap out torn blades and switch to winter-grade washer fluid.
💡 Lights: Make sure headlights and taillights are bright for shorter, darker days.
Don't wait for the first hard freeze! Bring your car to Rick’s Auto Repair for a quick winter prep inspection. ❄️🚙

🐾 Quentin has a very important question for Rick... 🐾
"Are we EVER going to see this 1970 Honda 600 actually run?" 🐶🚙
Every auto shop (and almost every mechanic!) has that one long-term project car sitting in the corner, waiting for its big moment. Quentin has been keeping a close eye on this classic Honda 600, but his Corgi patience is starting to wear just a little bit thin!
Do you have a project car in your garage that's been waiting forever for parts or free time? Tell us what you're working on in the comments! 👇
And if you need your daily driver fixed a whole lot faster than our Honda project, bring it in to the crew!

Can't see clearly at night? 🚗💡 Don't let cloudy headlights dull your drive!
Check out the before-and-after pictures below! 😲 Over time, the intense New Mexico sun can make your headlights yellow and hazy, which is a major safety hazard when driving in the dark.
Skip the expensive replacements. Our headlight restoration service at Rick’s Auto Repair brings back that clear lens for a fraction of the cost.
Ready to see the difference? Bring your car in and let us brighten your path! ✨

🚨 Check Engine Light suddenly on? Before you panic, check your gas cap! ⛽
It’s one of the most common (and most easily fixed) reasons for a Check Engine Light. Your vehicle is designed to trap fuel vapors so they don't escape into the atmosphere. If the rubber gasket seal on your gas cap gets old, dry, or cracked—which happens a lot in our dry New Mexico climate—those vapors can leak out.
Your car's computer senses the leak and turns on the Check Engine Light to let you know!
What to do:
1️⃣ Unscrew your gas cap and look closely at the rubber ring on the inside.
2️⃣ If it looks cracked, dry-rotted, or flattened, it's time for a replacement!
3️⃣ If the cap looks fine but the light is still glaring at you, it’s time to let the professionals take a look under the hood.

Don't ignore a Check Engine Light! Call today to schedule an appointment to run the diagnostics to figure out exactly what’s going on. 🔧🚗

Rick’s Special Assistant, Allie, reporting for duty! 🔧🐶
They say behind every great mechanic, there’s a focused assistant. Well, our apprentice Allie takes 'focus' very seriously! 🎾 While Rick is busy working, Allie has a different priority: holding down this extremely important ball (and keeping a very close eye on the spare balls in the shop, just in case).
Her technique is still in development, but her commitment to ball-security is unmatched. If you come by the shop and see a very cute supervisor sitting very patiently, you’ll know who it is.
We’re open and ready to get you back on the road!

Tell me you work at an auto repair shop without telling me you work at an auto repair shop... I'll go first. 🔧
When you need to pull your lunch out of the toaster oven, but there are no oven mitts... you improvise. Enter the trusty replacement booster cable clamp! It provides excellent grip, supreme heat resistance, and maximum mechanic ingenuity. ⚡🥪

🐾 We all love a good breeze, but sometimes rolling down the window just doesn't cut it! 🐾
Even the Rick's Auto Repair Corgi crew knows that when the Albuquerque summer hits its peak, sticking your head out the window isn't enough to truly beat the heat. If your car's AC is blowing warm air, making weird noises, or just not working at all, it's time for an inspection and recharge!
Keep yourself (and your furry copilots) cool and comfortable on the road. Bring your vehicle into the shop, and we'll make sure your air conditioning system is blowing ice-cold. ❄️
