About Us

Built on reputation,
not referrals

B & R Auto Repair has been serving Alpena and the surrounding area for years. We started as a small shop with one simple belief: if you bring us your car, we owe it to you to do the job right — the first time.

That hasn't changed. We're a full-service auto repair facility on W Chisholm Street, equipped to handle everything from a simple oil change to complex engine and transmission work. Every vehicle that comes through our bay gets the same standard of care, regardless of make, model, or how long you've been driving it.

Why B & R

The difference is in
the details

01

No surprises on the bill

We explain the problem, outline the repair, and confirm the cost before we touch your vehicle. If something unexpected comes up, we call you first.

02

Skilled, not scripted

Our technicians diagnose by experience and inspection — not by running the same three tests every time. Your car gets a real evaluation.

03

Your car, your timeline

We schedule work around your availability and give realistic turnaround times. When we say it'll be ready, it's ready.

04

Neighborhood shop energy

You'll know us by name. We treat every customer like a neighbor — because in Alpena, you are.

Ready?

Your car deserves a shop
it can trust

Call us today or stop by the shop — we'd rather talk through what your vehicle needs than guess over the phone.
