Alpine Motor Cars LLC

To All Porsche Owners: I recently had an older Porsche stolen and recovered; the car was recovered after having been dragged over dirt and gravel roads, through a sagebrush field and pushed into a rocky depression. The recovered vehicle was missing all electrical parts and gauges, the dash was destroyed and it had been mechanically abused so that even the steering wheel was warped to the extent it could not be used to drive. However, the car was not drivable because the clutch was completely destroyed, and other damages throughout the vehicle were not, at that time, obvious. The convertible top was up, but the controls and other electrical parts were destroyed and/or removed. Alpine Motor Cars, LLC, in Hayden, Idaho agreed to work on the car. Alpine Motors was able to locate and install year-appropriate gauges and parts, particularly where visible, and upgrade parts where possible. In addition to rewiring nearly the entire car, they replaced the clutch, adjusted the transmission, and evaluated/replaced/repaired the engine and oil pressure system as needed. I was informed at every step along the repair process, and in advance about any and all parts needing replacement, for my consent. Alpine Motor Cars uses an excellent body shop when needed. When I received the car, it looked much better then when it was stolen. The outside appearance was indicative to the interior where all the gauges, the dash, windshield and panels had been replaced and other things like Porsche floor mats added. The engine fired immediately, and was very responsive to the throttle. Driving my car is now a more enjoyable experience. It is smooth, quiet, responsive and stable on the road. I highly recommend Alpine Motor Cars, LLC, for any and all Porsche services, and they came highly recommended to me by the Spokane Porsche dealership personnel. Mike Faurote Moses Lake, WA more

My BMW 740i, BMW X5 and my 1987 Porsche Carrera are all serviced at Alpine Motors. I have had mechanical work done on all 3 cars by Richard at Alpine Motor Cars, near Coeur d?Alene in Hayden, Idaho and have found him to be the most knowledgeable and honest mechanic I have ever used with my European vehicles. But I feel the most important and valuable asset of Alpine Motors is Richard's ability and willingness to rebuild or repair many parts first, and not just automatically replace it with a new, expensive part. When repairing the part is not an option, Richard will not move forward without calling first for my approval. When preparing a work estimate, Richard will call to confirm pricing and repairs with me, prior to starting the repair work. Also, I have always found his estimate price to be very close to my final bill. I would highly recommend anyone with a BMW or ANY German made car to call Richard at Alpine Motor Cars, prior to having any work done at dealerships or other shops. Bart C. more
