5 /5 Jason K: Its never fun to have vehicles troubles in West Texas. Its 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 had called them first thing Monday morning and they were actually able to squeeze me in early afternoon on the same day.
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. Dont 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 future maintenance that I should definitely have repaired sooner than later. They were even able to weld a broken Jerry can bracket for me.
Everybody I spoke with at this place was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this shop for all your Automotive Maintenance needs.
