Comment: Running out of options and soon to be stranded due to a failing alternator, we were led to this incredible facility. Erica assured us they would get us in so we rented a car and drove to our home in Port Huron. The next morning we headed back to Alpena where our van was in the parking lot already fixed and ready to go! A beautiful facility with amazing staff! Thank you so much! Stacy and Ralph

Comment: Great reviews for good reason! Drove across the Mitten to get work done on my motorhome since they had the parts ordered already & I would do it again. Al & his team were professional, didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need, and left me with a confidence in their work that I have never had for any other shop. Would definitely recommend and will return for future preventative maintenance. Thanks again for being so flexible and professional!

Comment: By far the best mechanic Ive ever used! He does a great job, his prices are fair and reasonable, he and the staff are all very nice and personable! He is always willing to help out however he can and does his best to get the vehicle fixed quickly and effectively and it usually is! I took my van there a couple of years ago and never went to another mechanic! I highly recommend them! Thank you to all the staff and owner of R auto repair for always helping out and going above and beyond!

Comment: Took my vehicle to dealership, they told me need transmission and it would cost 9,000 dollars.....brought my car in to Alpena R Auto Repair for second opinion and they repaired, it was sensor and wheel bearing not my transmission. . I am so grateful for the honesty and fixing my jeep. I will be a customer for life. I would recommend to everyone. Saved me thousands.

Comment: I stopped in asking about a potential problem, so they took it in and put the truck on the hoist, removed tires inspecting my beaks, checked all my joints. Didnt find anything needing attention, this took approximately 25 minutes of their time. No Charge, wouldnt take one cent! This is one more reason that I give this place a 👍.

Comment: I cant believe how absolutely lucky we were to have been taken care of by Al!! A Senior Master Tech replaced the belt, tensioner, pully and two coils with plugs and had us back heading home by 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Ive never seen a better place in my life. We are so so so grateful!!!!!We are from Madison, Indiana and broke down 23 miles north of Alpena in a 28 foot RV (Ford F450) and had to be home by Sunday. We knew the serpentine belt was off, but thats all we knew for sure. Roadside assistance, GoodSam, let us down terribly with two other tow services that never showed up. After a few hours and no-call/no-show from Georgies or Rons I called Jeromes. He asked for photos of the hitch/rig and was there in 45 minutes. He called around on his own and got us into this amazing place with Al! We were able to stay in the camper overnight and he was there first thing in the morning. They arent even open on Saturday, he was moving furniture and even promised his little buddy swim time, so I deeply appreciate him helping us out with our crazy mess!!!

Comment: From out of town, stopped in because my breaks started screaming out of nowhere. Al fit me in right away in case it was a safety hazard. Chris looked at all the brakes/pads/shoes/rotors and gave a full run down of what they saw. Spotted some rust damage, prioritized what needed to be done, labor cost is reasonable. Also, super clean place and smells nice. :) Definitely knowledgeable and super friendly. Will be back to take my truck in and am confident they’ll do a great job.

Shop area, waiting area and even the bathroom were exceptionally clean. Fair pricing - did not feel shafted since we don’t live in the area but if we did then this would be our go to repair shop! For a repair that was unavoidable, we couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience under a dire situation. Thanks again Al and Michelle!

He will shop around for competitive bids on parts and let the customers know the prices he found and the warranty for the parts. If the part is more expensive than initially thought, he will call the customer to let them know what it would be.

Comment: $35 alignment went as expected. They told me areas I need improvement and gave me excellent service. Very friendly. Keep in mind, when you need an alignment and it requires more than a simple front end alignment, it will cost you more money. A 4 wheel alignment will probably cost more than a front only, I only needed a front, and it only cost me $35 +tax.

Luckily, we decided to contact these guys based solely on the number of Google reviews and we were not disappointed. They were able to get both of our trucks in and fixed the next day for an exceptionally fair price. I highly recommend them.

Comment: I was three hours from home in Alpena when the starter just quit in my vehicle randomly. Stranded, and had to leave town the next morning. I called a few mechanic shops in the area- they either didn’t have an opening or took 2 days to call me back. Not R Auto though. They were so gracious and accommodating to my urgent situation. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and honest as well. It was a pleasure to work with them, and on the off chance I’m in Alpena, and my car breaks down again, I wouldn’t even waste my time going anywhere else. Best customer service ever!
