WOW! After Catrece's scathing review, one would think Pine Valley Auto Repair (PVAR) is a rip off…read moreartist extraordinaire . . . nothing could be further from the truth. My last oil change at WalMart cost me approximately $69.00. I use Mobile One so the cost is generally higher than the less expensive brands and I don't know what Catrece uses so it would be unfair to compare prices . . . we may be comparing apples and oranges, I don't know. But oil is generally around $5.00 at quart anymore. It is unfortunate that Catrece"s experience wasn't better but the complaint seems unwarranted based on cost. Anyway, I've been an Alpine resident for over twenty-five years and owned a retail business on the 2400 Block of Alpine Blvd for approximately 8 years. I've also been a member of the local Chamber of Commerce. I was Service Manager of Dealer's Service Auto Body for years and for years I worked for Gulf and Wilshire gas stations. I owned a small car wash business in National City. So, I have some experience in the auto industry. Mechanics at PVAR have always been courteous and professional with me. I've had my motorhome, two trailers, and at least 3 different cars worked on by Joe (Jose) and J.C. His reputation is sterling. When I first moved to Alpine, I checked with two gas stations and the local auto parts store to see who they used for auto repairs . . . all said, "Pine Valley Auto." I said, no, I want someone local. It was then that I learned that Pine Valley Auto was in Alpine. My experience with PVAR has always been great. Only yesterday, I picked up Ford T-Bird and the cost of repairs was very reasonable. As far as the items in the creepy display goes . . . I love 'em! As far as I know, all those critters came from radiators, engine compartments, vents, under seats, etc.. People that had them removed were probably delighted. I sure wouldn't want that rattlesnake in my car! It also shows what our mechanics experience while working on our cars. They probably deserve 'hazardous duty pay' for the exposure . . . . Pine Valley Auto Repair . . . at least for 99% of the customers who use them, will use them again. I certainly will . . . .

I went into the shop because my husband's car window had rolled all the way done. Due to some…read morewiring issue, it wouldn't roll back up. So, I went in there because they're the only shop that was open in Alpine, California. Bill the owner had advised me that to diagnose it alone is $115.00, then what ever the issue was.. they would go from there. About 45 minutes later, I was told that I needed to replace the glass window itself, it would have to be special order, and it would take a few days for it. First of all, I'm only in town for the weekend. How is that even possible, our resort will not valet it nor we can even park in the parking structure due to the window not closing... Just great! So, I spoke to the mechanic Chris, a very nice gentleman, who had explained everything in details. Also, he resolved this problem in the meantime. But, I would have to take care of it as soon as I get back home. I am forever GREATFUL for CHRIS, you are brought humanity back to my world. I thank you for your help. I will definitely return just because of him. He had made my day weekend! Chris you are the MAN of INTEGRITY!

I noticed the surrounding area seemed pretty safe. I didn't catch any bad vibes from anyone here. Granted, it was a quick 10 minute stop in total.

I'm very happy with the work that's been done to my Jeep, and highly recommend this shop. If you're looking for reliable and trustworthy mechanics this is the place to go to! From start to finish they make sure that everything is explained to you in a way you can easily understand it. They send over pictures of what they recommend needs to be done in a detailed report, and let you know if something isn't necessary just yet. They also stand by their warranties, and never make you feel like an inconvenience. We all know what it's like to dread going to the mechanic, and I can definitely say it's the polar opposite going here. This is by far the most welcoming shop I've been to, and they truly care about their customers here. They really do go above and beyond, and I'm incredibly grateful for the work the team has done. Many thanks to the crew at John's Automotive Care in El Cajon!
