I have been using them since I they opened. Best mechanic in town. Extremely honest, he will always sit with me to show me the part they are replacing and take the time to explain what it does and why it needs replaced.

I was on a trip to Asheville when my cars check engine light came on. I got in contact with this place and spoke to a man named Ricky. They were quick, informative, and friendly. Being an out of towner they still treated me with respect and did not overcharge. Very thankful for them and highly recommend.

Love this shop. Ricky is honest and trustworthy. You won’t go wrong choosing Alternative Automotive Services for your car care. We ran into an issue with our Volvo while on vacation. He ordered the parts, installed new brake rotors and pads, and provided a quick turnaround to get us on our way home. Thanks Ricky.

Ricky and his team are incredible! Very responsive when you're in need of car help. Super organized - provide you an electronic list of any issues and costs so you can choose what you'd like to prioritize and what works with your budget. Very affordable, and Ricky goes the extra mile to help you keep costs down wherever he can. I highly recommend anyone go here with any of your automotive needs!

Rick & his staff have been working on our vehicles for a while now. They always do an excellent job! When Rick knows I'm going on a trip, he goes the extra mile to make sure everything is working properly. I can't tell you how much their thoroughness is appreciated -- especially when I making long distance trips.
