Ive been a customer of AFR for 15+ years, and they have been rock solid in every aspect of maintaining my Audis and VWs. They get it right the first time, keep their promises and do GREAT work with a smile. Fair prices+great service=great value. Five Stars!

Highly recommend. Used these guys for first time recently. I was very impressed. They got my car in and finished it quickly. The final cost was half of what the dealership quoted me. Audi of Salt Lake wanted double! Feels good to support a small business with people trying to make an honest living.

Best Audi / VW services for 800 milesHonest fast service with unbeatable prices from old dealership mechanics that got tired of cheating people

We have two older Audi cars. Alpine keeps them running without breaking the bank. These guys are honest and will let you know if something requires work at a dealer. I wouldnt take an Audi anywhere else on the Wasatch front.

The shop guys at Alpine are extremely honest and helpful. When the scope of work was out of their expertise, they made a recommendation to go to the dealership with some information guiding forward. Cant recommend this spot enough, will be going back for life.

I know nothing about cars, but the few times I’ve visited Alpine, they made me feel like I could trust them. This place is no frills and straight to the point. They replaced my radiator hose (causing coolant leak issues) for less than $200, which seemed like a pretty great deal based on online research. Good about communicating how much time something would take. Appreciated their no-stress service and will definitely be back for future issues for my little Jetta.

Great service and staff, appreciate the info and requirements shared by Joe. Thanks Matt for the great work, look forward to my next visit. After looking thru the other posts and comments, its pretty obvious that most people are happy with their experience at Alpine but you cant please everyone - and most of the negative comments appear to be from those who are offended by mechanics who dont happen to be teddy bears; I might be reaching here, but I dont recall seeing any Safe Spaces in that little shop and if you want to be treated like pseudo-royalty (and pay the price) I suggest you drive on over to 999 S. State St! Und tschuus!

These guys won me over as a customer for any Audi issues I will ever have. When my Pistons were burning off oil they let me know that I could take it into the dealership and Audis warranty would cover what could have been a very well paying repair for them. That kind of honesty and respect for the customer dont go unnoticed, and my family and I will go to them for anything related to our German cars for as long as we have them or for as long as Alpine is in business.

Edited 6/6/2021I dropped my review down from 5 to 2 stars and I do this with regrets because I really loved Alpine BUT:About two months after a full check of my vehicle I started having battery issues. Because Alpine is operating at weird inconvenient bank hours right now I took it to Utah Imports. They came back and said that my alternator was near death and my battery was basically dead too. Further inspection showed that it looked as if I hadn’t had a proper oil change in years. This was shocking to me because I took it to Alpine regularly for service. I was shocked and now it all makes sense that they never told me anything about my car, I doubt they actually ever serviced it.*previous review before taking my car to another place that showed me the negligence of Alpine*This place is straightforward with no unnecessary discussion. I have never picked my car up and had them rattle off a list of things that maybe needed to be “fixed.” They are clear about serious issues and upfront with their estimates and pricing. They are way cheaper than the dealership with highly skilled and knowledgeable foreign car technicians. I’ve been going here for about two years now and I’ve never had any issues with Alpine.

They left my engine unbolted, and i live three hours away. luckily the engine didn’t slide while i was driving home. i was taking my friend to mcdonald’s and my car started shaking and grinding. when i opened my hood, the engine had slid to the left. i could have been seriously injured.

Best service, unbeatable prices!! Other shops take their problems to Alpine when they cant figure it out. I love it when I go into a shop and the awards on the back wall say Mechanic of the month - Strong Audi - August 1977!! Thats old skool !! I want a mechanic with that kind of experience. Alpine is the best!!

Very satisfied with Alpine Foreign Repair. I got my Timing Belt and Water pump changed. The price quoted was the price charged. I wasnt able to drop off my car during regular shop hours they were able to accommodate for that and let me drop off my car and keys. I also was not able to pick up my car during normal operating hours as well and they took my payment over the phone and left they car out for me. They were very flexible and quick with the services. Went to get my Audi A4 2005 fixed up.

I have been bringing my Audis to Alpine since I was 16 and had an 85 hatchback. 14 years and 2 Audis later and I am still coming back. The service is great and the prices are unbeatable. I complained about a strange noise and they called to tell me that a hose had come undone and all they needed to do was hook it back in. I know of many places in the valley that would have told me that I needed a new hose but Alpine is honest and affordable. They are always quick to get me in and quick to get the repairs taken care of. As long as I own an Audi, I will be taking it to Alpine!

Much cheaper than the competition just down the street, and honest. They didnt upsell me on service that I didnt need. When my brake job had a problem after a month, they fixed it for free. These guys are the real deal.

I cautiously share my review of how skilled and reasonably priced Alpine is for both Audi & VW repairs, because of my fear that theyll become even busier than they already are ... 😉

So after reading just about every shops reviews and then calling around and getting quotes I think I finally found a Great shop! Don’t believe the 1 stars on here. They’re probably other shops hating because this one is so good. I was able to get my car in quick and they were able to finish in 1 day. They replaced all 4 rotors and break pads and fixed the valve cover gasket and half moon for about 45-50% less than everyone else. I was so happy to see nothing but Audi’s parked in front of the shop when I dropped off my A4 Cabriolet. Other shops have to research how to do the job and guess how many hours it will be. These guys knew everything off hand and were very honest. They didn’t do what I asked knowing that I would be back to fix the real problem later. So have a little faith and trust their professional opinion. These guys are not customer service reps so don’t get turned off when they don’t greet you with smiles and hugs. They’re mechanics and good ones at that. They didn’t try to upsell me like every other shop, nor did they fish out how much I’d pay. I will never buy anyhing but an Audi and hope they are open for years to come.

Review №33

I Have been in to this shop 3 times over the last 2 years. They worked on my Audi each time. They complete the work much cheaper than I anticipate. I check with the dealer each time and these guys are much more reasonable. I can make an appointment and everything is fixed on time and that day. If you are looking for a shop that really cares about its customers and its reputation, look no further. They have a small shop without the huge overhead and that definitely shows up in the pricing, especially if you have an Audi which by nature is not cheap to fix.

Review №34

Took my car there for years. Paid to have a door latch fixed in 6/16. 9/16 door latch went bad. They were totally indifferent despite another mechanic saying they were at fault. Take your business to V & W repair in Murray, UT. Youll be much happier with their more affordable prices and less indifferent mechanic.

Ive taken my car here for a few years now and they have been great. They are very honest and will tell me if something needs to be done or not. In the past Id take my car to Strong VW and every time my wallet would be empty and my car was in worse shape so I made the switch to Alpine and Ive never looked back.

I was having issues with my VW Gti, I just brought it in to them in the morning. They told me they probably couldnt look at it until tomorrow. Received a call at noon that they can have the problem fix that afternoon. Extremely impressed on how fast they got the problem fixed and back into my hands. Will take my VW to them from now on.

Not known for their customer service skills. Was not given a quote before the car repairs were made, nor did they provide a thorough review of the repairs/results upon receipt of the vehicle.

Review №44

They could do a little bit better with their customer service on the phone, but I care more about the fact that these are the only mechanics I can trust with my Audi. Had awful experiences at all the major Audi dealerships in the area, and though these guys dont wash my car or have a popcorn maker (or anywhere to sit at all to wait for your car to be serviced -- just walk down and use the wifi of any number of restaurants or coffee shops), they are 1/2 to a 1/4 of the cost and always tell me the truth. Theyve saved me thousands this year alone.

Review №46

Wow! I called these guys with a problem I had diagnosed would cost several hundred in parts, plus a week to get those parts. They ended up finishing the whole job (including labor) for cheaper than just the parts I had quoted. Not to mention the fact that they had parts in stock so the job was completed in a few hours.I am now a life long customer. I highly recommend them to any Audi or VW owner!

Indifferent mechanics, didnt seem to stand by their work. Always seemed to busy (despite not seeming busy) to talk thru an issue my car was having. If I wanted to be charged extra to feel like a burden Id go to the dealership. Pass.
