Daniel Rocks!
Daniel communicated to me that an additional issue was found with my car when in for service recently. He encouraged me to find out if the issue was covered by my extended warranty - and it was! He saved us over $600! Thank you Daniel and Alternative Automotive! We will definitely continue to have our cars serviced at AA😍

Called and asked if they could “squeeze” in an oil change while I wait ….this was approximately 12:30 ish……they informed me of their lunch period ongoing until 1:00pm….said if I could be there @1:15 and would that work for me,
I showed at 1:10 and was around 2:00 pm done and a with a complimentary quick scan for a code to be further explored when my schedule permits….always had great results here for a number of years and courteous service staff including owner Steve…..auto serviced was a 2008 Lexus

Routine maintenance
My car needed routine maintenance and checkup. I always went to whatever dealership was appropriate for my car, and always ended up paying way over $100. Here they checked everything and I was told it only needed oil change. Period. $77. I was surprised and happy!

Great service
I have been bringing both of my vehicles to Alternative Automotive for the past year. It is much more convenient than the dealer and I love the transparency regarding any repairs my vehicles require. The staff is always very friendly, the quality of work is excellent and the prices very reasonable.

Professional service and repair feedback
We have two older Toyotas which are still going strong thanks to Alternative Automotive. I appreciate the explanation of any needed repairs and the detailed answers we receive when we ask for any possible options or choice of part manufacturers.
