I'm still rolling in my 99 Jimmy these guys pieced back together for me after my engine blew last June 2015. I had it at a shade tree mechanic who really made a mess. These guys are amazing I have traveled over 20,000 miles on it since rolling out of the shop. Thank you guys!

I've never been to another shop that has the same passion to creating a great experience than these guys. Four times now I've used their services and have always gotten great results at awesome prices.

I am pleased with part of the work, but the technician forgot to reset the computer. This means that I need to bring my truck back in to Automotive Alternatives and get this taken care of. The other issue that I have is the vehicle is a…

These guys are 1 in a million!

Took my Honda to the Honda dealership because the A/C stopped blowing cold air. It was going to be $2400 to fix. Our extended warranty was only going to cover $675, for the compressor. I talked to Mike, and he ran the numbers on his end.…

Positive service, but sense of incomplete repair.

I was 400 miles from home. The alternator was bad due to leaking power steering fluid getting into it. The staff was very friendly and seemed generally concerned with my problem. They found ways for me to save cost by buying my own parts…

Saved my 1995 F 150

I had a great experience at Automotive Alternative. Techs were highly competent and quality of work equal to or better than Ford across the street. Time in and out was great. Highly recommended for the Ford enthusiast.

Great Work!

Mike, Chris and the team were very helpful and very knowledgeable. They were also very flexible. Especially when I asked for some extra work to be done while it was already in the shop. They took great care of my Jeep!

Creative Solution Saved Hundreds$$$ Part of my water pump housing had rusted out. Instead of replacing a large difficult-to-access piece of the engine, they tapped the hole and threaded a plug to seal it off. They could have been greedy and sucked more money out of the situation, but Kim and Mike are top-notch professionals with an honesty that is rare in the business. If I can't fix it, I bring everything I need to them. No, this isn't the first time I've been there... I've been bringing my business to them since I came to town 9 years ago. They have a proven track record with me. Thanks, guys!

My car was brought to this shop by a towing service and conveniently left unlocked overnight and 'just out of view' of the surveillance camera. No apology offered, just a denial of accountability and no follow up whatsoever. Staff first placed blame on me as a customer and then when I mentioned it was brought in by a towing company they supposedly knew well I was told it would not have been their responsibility to lock it. Was told that never happens and yet after filing a police report was told by officer that they'd had another theft reported there same day. I'd be very wary of taking your vehicle to this shop if you have to surrender your keys overnight. Not a secure location and no staff accountability. Very unfortunate experience as someone wanting to establish a continuing business/customer relationship for my automotive needs.

Bought a car from frontier motors & was told to take it to "Mike" when the car started making a noise upon acceleration.
After driving it & punching it past the worst sounding part he says, "All I can say is it isn't motor-related".
Really? Duh. It's coming from the wheel area He barely looked under the hood & said "it's a Hyundai not a cadillac".
His condescending attitude was evident when they sent me to him a week later with the same complaint. He was rude to me and said he didn't hear anything (which is BS, it's knocking louder daily).
Then I was told he called Frontier and didn't have anything nice to say about me. Ok. I'm a lady. I'm new to the area and concerned about a major purchase I just made.
I don't deserve this treatment from anyone, especially someone whom I was referred to. Bad call Frontier.
And ladies, if you want someone to make you feel stupid about your vehicle, go see Mike.
