San Marcos Auto Repair

It is hard to find a good mechanic; even harder to find one that cares about his work; and even harder to find one that is honest. Ben is an ASE certified mechanic and knows what he is doing. He kept working on my 1987 Corvette, even though the problem was elusive, because he cared. He performed several tests to isolate the problem, and, of course, some of those tests did not find the problem. Then Dealer Alternative did not charge me for the extra time spent on the work that did not work. Who does that? These guys are my mechanic from now on.

Great place of business

Armando said that they have great service and they were fast.

I’m new to the neighborhood. Great service. Stopped in for State inspection. Office staff was friendly and service staff got me on my way quickly. Look forward to going back.

The people at Dealer Alternative were great! We have recently taken two cars there and will always go back. They keep you updated, they are quick, the office staff is very knowledgeable, and the mechanics are top notch. They do great work. A special thanks to Mike, Jay, Christina, and Janell!

I had taken my camaro to the dealer and to another shop but no one could figure it out. I bought 3 battery’s total which they said would fix the problem. NOPE. I took it to Dealer Alternative and with in 5 hours they found the problem. They told they may have to replace the computer bet they would do their best to keep the cost low. And they did. Also the service advisors are very professional and informative. They called me on every step of the repair. This is my go to shop now.

Just want to thank Jay and his team for the great service on my cars on Dec 30th Got an inspection on my Lincoln and oil change on my Buick. Also needed a rattling sound on my Buick checked out they found the noise and repaired it without charge

Mick said that they did a good job.

Dealer Alternative has always been easy and quick. They give you options and work with you to help figure out issues. This is the only place in town we’ll go with out vehicles.

First time to do major repairs at this shop. They did the work faster than I expected, and at a great price.
