Alpi's European Used Auto Parts

The most reliable place to find parts for your European car. If you have an older European car this may be your last resort. But it doesn’t hurt to save time and check Alpi’s first for those much needed auto parts.

A place that offers the same price for scrap as for brand new items is not recommended at all

I found the trim pieces I needed for my Volvo, the guy who served me was helpful and pleasant and the price I paid worked for me. Will come back for sure.

Spends too much time on Instagram commenting about women’s reproductive choices, so obviously the work is neglected. Misogynistic and very confrontational. Don’t recommend 0/0

This place was recommended by a friend because they specialize in european vehicles, mind you im a tradesman as well and could easily fix my vehicle if i wasnt working 11 hrs a day 6 days a week and just wanted a honest mechanic.my bmw had a common valve cover gasket leak that I diagnosed, brought it to bmw to get it diagnosed and they found the same issue, I usually get more than one diagnosis before authorizing work and since I was confident I brought to alpis to get fixed.i was told by the older gentleman they had to diagnosed car before working on it, after they looked at the car, I was shocked that they completely missed the valve cover leak and told me I had a leak on my rear main seal lol.any one that know cars would realize a rear main seal if leaking would leave spot on driveway and I was more shocked that both bmw tech and I would miss such an easy catch. Not only did they give bad diagnosis the charged me a fee for telling me something that was not accurate.long story shortened I had my gasket replaced by a different shop in Richmond and that shop did a free infection as well after replacing my valve cover gasket and the did not notice any leak from rear main seal.its been 4 months now and no issues I would not reccomend any one going to this shop as they are not honest and you will pay for extra work not done for sure

Crazy Prices. They charge literally double to triple of nearest competitors. This business would be dead ages ago without ICBC business. Took me two phone calls to find the part I was looking for half of what they quoted me.

Specifically I was looking for a MK4 Jetta glove box. An item you can usually find in the 40-50$ range. They quoted me 120$.
After two phone calls I found the part for 40$.

This should tell you all you need to know about what this business thinks of you as a customer.

Chris did an amazing job getting me the necessary parts to put my SQ5 back together. Highly recommend them. Thanks Chris!

This company makes no sense, they didn't tell me that I would be charged another 100$ then claimed that it's a deposit. Makes no sense to spend another 100 dollars. They overdraft my account. But wouldn't reimburse me for the inconvenience. Terrible scammers.

The guy just refused to sell me the part and didn't listen to me at all just repeated like a robot that he can't sell me the part because I didn't bring him my part from my vehicle. He was really rude and spoke disrespectfully

I've dealt with this shop for a couple years and Chris has always been genuinely helpful. Nothing but great business transactions

Done business with them off and on for a few years. They were good before, but now they are Rude and overpriced. The markups are insane, sometimes even more than a brand new part. The owner, or whoever works at front desk is extremely rude with a take it or leave attitude. Will not return.

EDIT:

Quit making excuses for your poor customer service and milking people for every penny. Last time I checked salvage yards are suppose to be cheaper than the dealership at the very least.

My husband couldn’t find a part for our VW anywhere. Staff at Alpi’s were very friendly & helpful. Our car is now up & running! Thanks Alpi’s! I would definitely recommend.

Had my door window smashed in Victoria. They had a replacement pulled and shipped out the same day. I received and installed it the day after. Great service!
