Used Truck Inspection
I cannot say enough good things about Steve and his staff at Alternative Automotive. My family has been taking our vehicles to Steve for almost 30 years and he is hands down the most honest, trustworthy mechanic I know. A huge shout out to Steve's mechanic George who has always taken flawless care of all my vehicles. I will own Toyotas for the rest of my life, and I will always have the serviced at Alternative.

Service very good
Service very complete, prompt and well explained. First visit to new facility, that seems fine, but outside challenging with no handicapped parking near the door and a driveway and walkway not conducive to anyone walking with assistance such as a cane. Old facility much better for that.

Excellent Service Since 2006
Steve & Daniel always provide excellent service and I trust them whenever they recommend something be replaced or another service be completed. I have referred both family & friends to Alternative Automotive.

JB service
Have been using Alternative Automotive for several years. Their service is always straight forward and appropriate for my needs; charges are certainly less than dealerships.

Always receive the best service!
I have taken my 2006 Honda Ridgeline to Alternative Automotive on several occasions and am happy with the results. The team is ready to start work when I arrive for my appointment and my truck is ready when promised. In today’s economy, I feel the pricing is fair. I am happy to recommend Alternative Automotive to friends and family knowing they will receive the same care.
