I contacted these folks via phone and explained my issue to determine if they could help me. Christina was very friendly &helpful. I had my vehicle towed to their location & they called me to advise receiving it. After completing the diagnostic I was contacted by Sean & was explained what needed to be done and the cost estimate. I authorized the work to be done & didn’t expect to hear anything until the end of the week at the earliest because it was late morning on a Monday. Sean contacted me on Tuesday at 4 pm and advised my vehicle was complete & ready to be picked up. I was pleasantly surprised needless to say! Further the quote I sent as given previously was right on the money! This has to be one of the most surprising auto mechanic experiences I’ve ever had!

work was done quickly. Had a concern about a running board issue and they checked and fixed it at no charge due to simplicity of fix

Highly recommend this place

I have been taking several vehicles to D.A. for a number of years now. Jill and Jay are involved in every aspect of the business. It is great to have such a place here in San Marcos, saving me from the long drives to San Antonio or Austin for car repair. Steve

Jay and Jill, Thank you for the work you did on my Lexus. Franklin noted one simple, important item overlooked to share with the mechanics. The coolant tank was empty the following day and has required refilling twice. Had he not checked the fluid levels, not having sufficient coolant could lead to a future issue with over- heating. Thanks again and we do appreciate you all taking care of our vehicles. Janice

Oh no! I'm shocked to hear this. We use a vacuum coolant system that should have checked for leaks while insuing that there were no air pockets. This is a concern that it needed filling twice. We should probably verify that there aren't an small leaks anywhere. It was a major teardown, so it's possible that one of the old hoses is leaking or isn't clamped well enough, or some other small issue. Please bring it by anytime you can drop it off and we will go through it. I also meant to show you the pictures I took of it torn down.

I was not expecting to get my car back until tomorrow but they finished it in just a couple of hours. Sean Cantù was my service advisor and was kind and listened to me and got right on it.

After undergoing a general diagnostic and analysis from an OBD scanner there was no specific issue found that would allow the car to start. I brought the car to Dealer Alternative and within a few hours a relay that was only allowing 3 volts when the circuit need 5 volts was found and replaced all for the cost of the basic diagnostic. Great work, fair price and friendly service. I'm a fan.
