I know it is a wonderful convenience for anyone who is traveling for any period of time to arrange for the airport shuttle to pick you up and take you straight to the door at the airport.
However, I found them to be very unreliable with their services. Unfortunatley I was warned by several co workers about this service but I felt they were probably getting bad deal.
I arranged for the service to pick me up at my home at 4:30 for a 6:30 flight. They called and said the could not find my house, I gave them directions and found out they were completely on the other side of town. The did not seem to care about the fact that I needed to get to the airport they just kept calling with one excuse after another. After 45 minutes I told them to forget it I would just drive over. They honestly said "Well that's not very fair" I was running late getting to the airport because of their incompetance and they were telling me I was being unfair.
They ended up calling me a cab who took me to the airport but it still cost me $16 for one way.
So my advice would be if you are going to use the shuttle have back up arrangements made ahead of time in case they don't show up.

If you have to fly out of the Albuquerque Sunport and you are leaving your car. Forget about parking at the airport instead use the Airport Parking service located at Sunport Blvd and I25. It is the easiest thing in the world to do.
I parked there a few weeks ago and found a great spot in the covered area for $4.89 a day. They come right to your car in an air conditioned van and load your luggage and take you to the airport. When you get back you simple step to the curb and they had 2 vans waiting at the airport to take people back. They do not wait until the van is full either they just load your stuff and take you right back to your car.
This was the best part about the whole airport experience.

The motto for the Tram is “No oxygen mask or sherpas required” and this is a true statement. The Sandia Peak Aerial Tram takes you from the base of the Sandia Mountains to the very top inside a closed tram. As you ascend to the top of the mountain the scenery is breath taking. You see the city and the mesa out to the west and you see the wilderness of the mountains below you. If you go in the winter time you will see lots of snow. At the top of the mountain is a restaurant called High Finance it is a great restaurant but I find it a bit pricey. There is also the Sandia Peak Ski Slopes that you can take advantage of. If you are going up in the spring or fall you can take numerous hikes around the mountain on various trails. One hike is across the top of the mountain to a parking area, lookout area and a gift shop. There are also mountain bike trails that the advanced biker can take advantage of.

As with most people I went to my friends when I needed a vet for my dogs. Juan Tabo was recommended by the pickiest pet owner I know so I figured it had to be good. Our doctor is Lara Tyndall and she is a great vet. My dog loves going to see her. She spends time with your animal first playing with them and getting to know them before she ever begins her exam, she will play with them through the exam to keep them comfortable.

After you are in the southwest for a few days you will realize that the dashboard on your car is going to need some serious covering.
Dashcovers Southwest is one of the few places that I found was affordable and they custom made the covers to your car not a car brand.
They also will professionally fit the cover to your dash and adhere it with velcro so that it does not slip off.
They will show you the colors they offer and explain what color would be best for your windshield. I had no idea that the color would affect my visiblity.

I had to have my car repaired when I first moved here and this little shop was recommended to me. For a car repair shop they are very pleasant to work with, they offer an honest opinion and they do good work. Their prices are comparative with others. They even let me purchase the part at the auto store and they installed it so that I could save some money on my work.

One of the most honest auto repair men you will find in this town. He gave me my engine problem straight and did not sugar coat it. It kept my car in his gated yard for 3 weeks until I could get it moved. He offered me every service he could to help me when my car was dead. Extremely polite and easy to work with. His prices are good and he is very honest about what he does.

A nice yoga studio located in the heights. There are several yoga studios in town but this one is great because they are not crowded. They specialize in yoga so there are several classes. The teachers are great and they go at your level and offer support and advice if you need it. They also will let you know if you would be better in another class which is good if you are a beginner and don’t know where to go. The price is good starting from per class price to package prices.
