Alpine Auto Maintenance

Cannot recommend. Took vehicle in for an oil pump replacement per another mechanic. Too big a job for them. Alpine Auto said it was “probably the housing and we do two or three of these a week”. I had purchased a replacement pump at the parts store and left it in the front seat. Their reader code said low oil pressure, oil pump needs to be replaced. OK, Alpine Auto replaced the housing and oops check engine light comes back on. Oh, it is the pump. OK, please fix. A week after dropped vehicle off and not fixed. This was on Friday, asked if it could be fixed on Monday as spouse was going out of town and I wouldn’t have a vehicle. “It will be Tuesday or Wednesday” in a rude manner. Spoke to the owner, could have cared less. Friday, two weeks after I had left the vehicle still not

It's never fun to have vehicles troubles in West Texas. It's desolate and expensive. I was quite sad when the water pump was leaking on my Jeep Wrangler while I was on some back roads in Big Bend National Park. I did a Google Search and Alpine Auto maintenance was the first of many local auto shops to pop up in Alpine.

I was a little leery when I first got to the shop as it looked like it was just a bunch of old buildings crammed together. Don't let that fool you. These guys are amazing. They went Way Beyond what I thought they would do and replaced not only the water pump but some rotting heater and radiator hoses, a belt tensioner and also made suggestions on futur

Very helpful! Diagnosed our brake problem but since we were passing through, he would have to order parts and we couldnt stay. We gave him some $$ for his trouble. I would go back for repairs if ever in the area.

After getting pushed around by multiple mechanics in the area, Drake came and looked at my van and showed me exactly what my problems were. I felt so relieved to have someone be upfront and give solid advice for how to make it back to Wisconsin with our broken van. Only complaint is they were booked out really far for service.

We broke down just outside of Alpine, 7 hours from home. Wes was the only mechanic I could get ahold of that would help us. He drove to Odessa and back to get the only fuel injector he could find in west Texas. We were back on the road within 24 hours and on our way. The cost was very reasonable and Wes carefully explained all of the charges on the bill. Thanks very much to Wes and his team.
