One of the best places to take a vintage Volkswagen for repair.

Alan's Automotive is highly recommended in my book. I ran out of options and he fixed my problems.

My wife and I attended a vw show last weekend and noticed parts had fallen off my van. We were introduced to Mike and he helped us find the part we needed and even helped install it! Great guy and I'll just say that the Boise vw community is Lucky to have him!!

Mike is a great vw guy who offered to help me on the busiest vw weekend in Idaho by selling me an exhaust piece and even helped me put it on. Boise you are Lucky to have him in your community!

I've been fixing up VW busses for about 10 years now have and I never been treated so poorly by an auto shop. I took my '73 bus into Allan's Automotove, very clearly stating that if it was to go over the quoted amount that I wanted a call. I went on to say I had a bad experience with a past shop and that I wanted to have a shop here in Boise that I could trust. I got a call a week and a half later saying it's done and that it would be over 2.5 times as much as I was quoted. Already frustrated, I pick up the bus to find that parts had been broke, windows so dirty I can't barely see, and that I was left with a dead battery because the stereo was left on the whole time. (My battery is brand new) won't even hold a charge after 30 minutes of driving it. Very disappointed.

Respectful, honest, fair, friendly, and reasonable are just a few words to describe this place. I would trust Mike and this shop with my mother's car! Thanks, Mike!

Brought in my 1980 VW Rabbit and it wouldn't start. They claimed my fuel pump had to be replaced & my fuel tank had to be cleaned-out of all the grime and whatever else was growing inside. Towed it back home and wondered how they could make that determination without seeing it. The filter was clean and the access port to the tank was never touched. So, I opened it myself to have a look. The tank was completely clean. Had I told them to proceed with repairs, I would've wasted the $500 they quoted. Then I saved the $1500 they quoted to replace the fuel pump by doing it myself. And it didn't fix the problem. So now I'm wondering if replacing the pump was really necessary. Not saying it wasn't (there certainly could be more to it), but I've been lied to once already.

Mike was great! I rolled into Boise in my 1985 Vanagon with a blown coolant level sensor and not only did he have one in stock, he took time to show me how to correctly replace it and bleed the system. I know he was super busy that day, but I really appreciated his help! You can tell he has a great love for VW's and he is super helpful. I definitely recommend him for anything you need!
