OUR REVIEWS
(88 Reviews)
M. C., 06/22/2025auto repair shop in North County. Steve (the owner) is very competent with car repairs. If you have a problem with your car, he will find it and fix it. Daniel is also a very good mechanic and can answer most, if not all, of your questions. I really like the fact that they have suppliers with stock ready for delivery within hours so you won't need to go back to repair something (in my opinion based on my car's service history). I will would definitely recommend Alternative Automotive!
