    I’m a first-time customer to Alternative Automotive & found them via their service coupon. While in the waiting room area I spoke to a returning customer who spoke highly of Daniel’s service repairs, fair pricing & repeated several times of Daniel’s honesty. Having high mileage I knew Daniel was looking out for my safety when he suggested my next priority be replacing spark plugs to prevent car breakdown. I will be returning to take action on his professional advice & I highly recommend giving Alternative Automotive a try like I did because now I unexpectedly found my new go-to mechanic who made me feel enthusiastic like his returning customer I met in the waiting room. I wish them continued success. **LINDA**
