Dealer Alternatives was recommended to me about 3 years ago. I have taken my car to them about 6 times, not including oil changes. They are very ALWAYS prompt, reasonable and helpful.
I noticed what seemed to be an oil leak. DA found it to be a leak from the oil pump (internal). Rather than just charge me the $3,000 to drop the engine and transmission, they researched and found I was still barely in warranty from the manufacturer!!!! Now that is my kind of service company.
We have a company truck that logs heavy mileage. I have compared their prices to others and Dealer Alternatives wins by many lengths. They advise only that you do the necessary repairs. The peace of mind is worth having the employee drive here from more than 130 miles away.
Please, don't everyone believe this! They will get too busy to do what I just said.
