Heading out on a summer road trip? New Mexico heat and altitude push a diesel harder than everyday driving, especially on long climbs and remote highways. A quick pre-trip check of your cooling system, fuel filters, brakes, and tires can save you from a breakdown miles from the nearest shop. We have specialized in diesel trucks and cars since 1981 right here in Albuquerque. Schedule your pre-trip inspection: 505-856-8333

$50 back on qualifying NAPA brake parts. The rebate runs through June 30 at Flash Automotive on Jefferson.

Spend $250 or more on eligible NAPA pads, rotors, calipers, or the Akebono and Brembo lines, submit your receipt at NAPARebates.com by July 15, and a $50 prepaid Visa card is mailed to you.

As a NAPA Gold Certified AutoCare Center, Flash backs the work with an extended 36 month / 36,000 mile nationwide warranty — longer than the standard NAPA coverage. ASE-certified techs, free local shuttle, and the kind of honest pricing that's kept us here since 1981.

Today we pause to honor the heroes who gave everything for our freedom. We remember their sacrifice with deep gratitude. Thank you to all who served and never came home, and to the families who carry their memory. 🇺🇸

Before you load up for the mountains or a cross-state drive, give your vehicle a quick pre-trip check. New Mexico heat, altitude, and long remote stretches are hard on four systems in particular:

- Oil
- Battery
- Tires
- Air conditioning

A failure in any one of them can turn a holiday getaway into a roadside wait or a miserable trip. Our ASE Certified team can check all four before you travel, so you can focus on the trip instead of the truck.

Diesel and gas trucks don't just drive differently - they need completely different maintenance.
Your diesel has no spark plugs, no ignition coils, and no traditional catalytic converter. But it does have a Diesel Particulate Filter, an EGR system, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid that all need regular attention. Let one of them go and your truck goes into limp mode.
Your gas truck has its own list - spark plugs, ignition coils, O2 sensors, and a catalytic converter that fails fast when something upstream isn't right.
Both trucks share 10 critical services. Neither schedule is optional.
We built an interactive guide on our site that breaks it all down - every service item, every interval, with a filter so you can focus on your engine type.
Know your truck. 🔧

Happy Easter from Flash Automotive! Whether you're heading to church, a brunch or a family gathering, we hope your ride is smooth and your weekend is sweet. 🐰

Three things to check on your car this spring:
✅ Tire pressure (temperature changes = pressure changes)
✅ Wiper blades (winter wears them down fast)
✅ Coolant levels (warmer days are coming)
Stop by and we'll check all three for free.

❄️ Don't Let a Dead Battery Ruin Your Morning
January is when most batteries fail—especially in diesels. Cold starts, glow plugs, and thick oil demand serious cranking power. If your truck barely turned over this morning, it might not start tomorrow.
Free battery test at Flash Auto. No appointment needed.
And right now, get up to $25 back on qualifying NAPA batteries through February 28th.
Stop by before you get stranded.
