It was an ex I have always hated going to purchase a car. My son has brought 3 Ford trucks from Don Chalmers. He recommended we visit Don Chalmers. It was an excellent experience from the beginning through to the end. We had already visited other dealerships. Most of the other experiences we okay, but certainly did not compare with our experience at Don Chalmers. We will definitely recommend them to our friends. When we left, we felt like me had made a new friend with our sales person, Demetrium McKay. Five stars (*****) for the entire group a Don Chalmers. More

They know what they're doing. I have a 95 Buick & a 2005 Focus, both of which I have trusted to the guys at Quick Lane on Coors. In the past, we had to take our cars there several I have a 95 Buick & a 2005 Focus, both of which I have trusted to the guys at Quick Lane on Coors. In the past, we had to take our cars there several times before they found and corrected the problem. Then the staff seemed to have changed and the new crew has fixed several problems the first time, every time. Today, I took the Buick in for a tune up. Being on a limited income, I needed an estimate before scheduling the service. They did the job and came in about $25 under the estimate. My car ran so well, that I took my wife out for dinner afterwards with the money I saved. Patrick was at the desk and is a very friendly and knowledgeable young man. I believe it was Konner that worked on our car. He is a very young man who is very polite and from what I hear, is on his way to becoming a star in the world of mechanics. I will always trust my vehicles to this crew. More

This place is great. Jim was very much a non-traditional salesman, Eric as well. They didn't push anything on you. They tried to understand your situation and help you as best they could.

Allen , the financial guy , was the same way as well. Not pushy, but very helpful and informative. They really made me feel like I was part of their family. As long as I am in Albuquerque, I'll be making the trip to Don Chalmers. More

I was on vacation, traveling through Albuquerque when my family detected the strong odor of gasoline inside our van. It was so hot that day and the pavement was so hot that I couldn't even get on my hands a family detected the strong odor of gasoline inside our van. It was so hot that day and the pavement was so hot that I couldn't even get on my hands and knees to look under the car for a gas leak. I did not want to risk a fire or my family getting sick from the fumes so stopped in Rio Rancho for the night in hopes that I could find a dealership to look at the van the next day and get us safely back on the road ASAP. It so happened that the hotel we stayed at in Rio Rancho was within a block of the Don Chalmers Ford Dealership. I took the van in the next morning where I met Mike Castaneda who was from Las Cruces (where we were coming from) and was filling in temporarily at Don Chalmers. I believe Mike worked at a dealership in Las Cruces. He was very friendly and polite and was able to work our van into the morning service lineup in hopes that they could find and repair the problem and have us back on the road by early afternoon. I returned to the hotel to relax and wait for a call from Mike to give me the report of their findings. I think I was only there an hour when Mike called and told me what they found. He said they needed to replace the evaporative control valve/solenoid and that they would have to order one from the local parts depot. He said they should be able to get the part by noon and he would let me know as soon as the work was completed. In the meantime they performed a complimentary multi-point inspection of my tires, battery and brakes. As he said, the replacement part was received by noon, installed, test driven and approved. Repair time: 1 hour labor, 0.5 hour diagnosis and about four hours total time from start to finish. The final bill was $374.39 as follows: Parts $76.11, supplies $24.59, service-history adm $1.23, lab-mechanical $245.93, gross receipts tax $26.53. The original estimate/diagnosis fee was $125. The service experience was great. The final bill was a bit of a shock considering all they replaced was a valve/solenoid. Of course I don't know the retail value of the valve or how much effort was involved to replace it. One never does when these emergencies arise. They did the job with a smile, on time and a bit over estimate and I was back on the road and happy to say "no more gasoline odor", even to this day over a month later. I would recommend Don Chalmers in an emergency for a friendly, trouble-free experience. That is the only practical perspective I have at this time. However, while there I observed what appeared to be a very efficient, clean and well-run operation, not unlike the Ford dealership in my hometown. Now I also know that the dollar cost of service is pricey in both dealerships, near and far. More
