I have used them for many years for my vehicle repairs. The staff is professional, friendly and reliable. The prices are reasonable and they don't overcharge for anything. They are a trusted business and I will continue to use them for my vehicle repairs!

I want to thank the guys here, they went over and beyond for my daughter. We had a appointment for Friday and when she went to drop the car off the day befor they fixed her problem on the spot. They didn't have to do this but it shows they take care of their customers, that's hard to find these day. Thank you for great service and always being helpfull when we have been to you.

Everything I have ever had done to my car at Alternative has been done with total professionalismI have been using them for over 12 years and I would not go any where else. They are extremely honest and will not do things that you don t need done. Here is an example: I recently brought my car into Hyundai for a recall. When I left they gave me a list of things with a price of over $1500. I brought the car to Alternative. The end result was $216.I recommend Alternative 100% to anyone who has a car that needs repairs

It is rare to find a truly honest mechanic shop. I won t go into the details but this shop had our best interest in mind by way of referring us to a shop who was able to work on our particular issue. An engine issue this shop isn t equipped to perform. This simple act ended up saving us thousands of dollars. This wasn t our first visit. We have been totally satisfied each visit. A mechanic shop you can trust!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Had them diagnosis my fuel issue and they nailed it and had it done in a timely manner and charged me a very reasonable price..... then took the same car back to them for my AC issue and they immediately pinpointed the issue and fixed it quickly and again the charge was reasonable.... great shop and personnel to deal withhad taken my 95 Nissan to them and they got right on it after a customer cancelation, changed what i took it in there for and upon further inspection found other brake issues that I was unaware of and brought it to my attention. this is one of the best shops I have ever dealt with and their customer service is great also.

Let me start by saying if I could I would give this company 10 stars. Ray, James and the rest of your staff are always professional and knowledgeable. My father was a mechanic I did not follow in his footsteps and I found my mechanic for life. I was ready to put brakes on my car and he told me I still had 1500 miles on the rear brakes. I think that tells you everything you need to know about this company and how they operate. I don t have a lot of time to write reviews but I felt I had to write this one. If you re looking for a mechanic look no further than Alternative Car Care.Services: Tires, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair

When I first moved to Florida about 2 years ago I I shuffled between two other mechanics before I found alternative car care. Since findng them I have stayed with them. They have knowledge of almost anything you need done to your car in repairs. I I also think it's cool they have people there who can work on some electronic stuff. My favorite thing is that they're always careful with your vehicle. I have two different vehicles I bring here and whenever they're working on it they are absolutely on point with what they say they're going to fix and what gets fixed. They have amazing prices and it doesn't take them forever to get done big jobs. And if you call and they don't have time they'll work with you and figure something out. I'm giving them a five-star because they deserve it.

Tom and James have always been real good to my family, they've been changing my oil and doing routine maintenance and service jobs on our cars for the past couple yrs now. I drive a Nissan, and A.Car Care charges a fraction of the price compared to the maus Nissan dealership, I would have saved almost $400 if I choose to do the job here then at the dealership. And they've always been honest with me about the condition and price of my repairs even if it meant a little less money in their pocket, cuz I wouldn't know the difference since I'm not really a car guy myself. All in all, if u want a professional fair priced mechanic, this is the place.Services: Electrical repair, Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

My family chose Alternative when we first moved to Florida in the early 2000s, and I personally have had 2 vehicles worked on by them since I was in high school here. James and the whole crew are wonderful people, highly skilled, and offer absolutely the best prices! Will recommend to everyone!

This is the most friendly garage I have ever been to. I'm always so nervous in an auto shop and these guys set me at ease with there accent and swagger. They repaired a simple part for me that 6 other garages could not. I'm coming back to these guys 1st from now on.

They have competitive pricing for sure , How ever they did not complete my repair properly then told me that It was my fault and the will not wrnty the work performed. I had to have repair redone and have documented proof they performed work incorrectly. They also stopped answering phone calls from the BBB about they case. At this point I guess they do not care about their BBB rating.

Had them do some exhaust work on my wife s truck and they did an excellent job. Price was very fair and they were extremely professional. This is the place for custom exhaust work.

They close early at 4 because "we have no business" but won't take me for a 30min start to finish resonator delete. At 4 when it says they are open til 5. I guess you can't get business when you don't want to work

I checked out this shop because a friend of my mother in law swears by them. I needed to get the plugs changed in my van so I went in to find out what they would charge. They quoted me a price almost 4 times what I paid at another shop. I decided not to pay that much so I can't say how they work. So my recommendation is to shop around.
