San Marcos Auto Repair

So very friendly and communicative.

Great place with friendly staff, courteous service, and timely. The business is very clean and you are met with a friendly smile

Great place to have my car and truck inspected and worked in. Friendly staff and professional. They are the best

The power steering went out in our truck and as always Dealer Alternative was able to get the work scheduled right away . The provided us with an estimate and explained what was wrong and what had to be replaced .

We had a problem with a backup sensor going off all the time. Hyundai wanted to pull the bumper for a 3 hour charge and replace the sensor. The mechanic at DA reached under the bumper and found a loose connection. He corrected the loose plug and all has been well ever since. Now that is smart service.

First timer. I just chose them because of convenience for me. I needed a state inspection and front wheel alignment. Their prices are on par with other service shops I have been to. I did have to submit my information online and they had to contact me to get an appointment. I'm not sure if they take walk-ins. I did drop off my car so but they were done in about 3hrs. That time seems reasonable to me. The ladies in the front office were very kind and friendly. I would recommend them.

The team is very friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the whole process from diagnostics to repair.

My van had a bad alternator, they got it taken care of in a timely fashion. I never have to worry about ubereither, thry picked me up from my house. Also filed with my warranty service!

My go-to spot for my auto-care needs. 🙌🏼

Great experience at Dealer Alternative Auto Care! I had never taken a car here before, but I needed the state inspection done. The shop entrance is on the I-35 frontage road just north of Wonder World Drive, so you have to approach it from the north. Even though the staff were scurrying around busily, someone greeted me and got my car inspected and on its way quickly. There was a nice little outdoors seating area under a canopy, next to a lot with several large oak trees and other trees. It was actually relaxing and comfortable waiting out there and enjoying the greenery. I think they have an indoor waiting area also, but I didn't go inside. The shop has a couple of beautiful dogs who are calm and well-behaved, acting as mascots. The woman who helped me (the owner?) was friendly and professional, and got me on my way quickly without any difficulty. I drove away impressed. I will definitely consider taking a vehicle here in the future due to the positive experience I had.
