Alaska Mechanical Repair - Anchorage, Alaska

Bob has been our mechanic for many years. We’ve had only wonderful experiences & results. Our busses continue to be healthy and reliable, and have been since 2008! We won’t take them anywhere else.
These guys are awesome!

I have used bob for several years with no problem. Then my Fiesta needed a blower motor. I told him my Brother (a state mechanic) tried fixing it but couldn't get a few bolts in the driveway, so we decided to pay bob to do it. We told him what happened, he said "no problem I'll get it done" then when I called for an update he informed me he was "putting her back together broken" said it was missing bolts and he didn't want to be responsible.
When we went to pay for the oil change he told us he didn't want our business and to keep our money.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I thought it would be best to protect those who are unaware.

Bob did not know how to fix my van that had been having trouble starting, and instead made it much worse. After about an hour of loudly swearing and escalating in anger, he fried the ignition switch after messing with the relays, and then it wouldn’t crank or start at all. He did not offer to compensate for his mistake.

I asked him to take me to a different mechanic, and using a tow chain, he and his son towed my van 5 minutes away. While I appreciated the gesture, his reckless driving made me regret accepting the tow — he knocked my van into a garbage bin.

A different mechanic fixed the issue for me, and I called Bob to ask him to reimburse the price for the ignition switch. Eventually he agreed to pay for the price of the part, but when I came to collect, he refused to pay any more than $50 for the $200 part he broke. This is not including hundreds of additional dollars I wound up spending on labor.

I called AMR on a Monday, spoke with Bob, about checking out a truck I was interested in buying. He gave me some over the phone tips and told me to bring it in on Tuesday. I brought the truck in and he gave me the peace of mind to buy the truck, after his full inspection. Thank you Bob for helping and teaching me a bit of what you were looking for and doing.

Bob should spend less time drinking the booze supplied by the enablers at midnight sun, and more time torqueing a wrench.

My car was having issues while driving through Anchorage, and Bob was just the man I needed on a Saturday when the majority of shops were closed. He is extremely honest, ethical, and an all around genuine person.

There are many mechanics out there, but not a lot of ‘real’ mechanics are still around. I live two hours away, but will definitely be returning if I have further problems with my cars in the future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping two exhausted kids and a fluffy pup

AMR is a fantastic shop for auto repair. Bob is a great guy that always delivers his promises. We had a rash of vehicle breakdowns recently and Bob took care all the repairs in short order. His rates are great and I'd bring any of my vehicles to him for repair.

Oh, if you need help, Bob is the one to go talk to. Guy really knows the stuff prices are pretty good. Literally can't say enough about hom. He's helped us out of so many jams. He is awesome.
