Had a wonderful experience with Auto Alternatives with my Ford Explorers check engine light, air bag light, ac pressure, and tire sensors. Jose was very helpful from the beginning and communicated every step of the way. They were able to work with my budget for pricing and went above and beyond to make sure all services requested were fulfilled and even threw in additional services just to be kind and helpful. Would absolutely recommend and will be back! read more

Autobody Alternatives in modesto were hired to paint my car and my fathers. The manager came to our houses and gave us an estimate for each car and stated they would both be done by the first of 2025.They started my dads car first and had it from sept 2024 to mid February. My car went in the second week of January 2025. When we checked my dad's car. After it was painted, we found over thirty two blemishes,Nibs,drips and scratches in the new paint. When we questioned them about it, they said, that's what you paid for. We then found that they do not have a paint booth.They paint in an open bay shop. I spoke with several of their employees, and they confirmed this. After a lengthy argument with management they finally decided to fix the paint when legal action and epa would be notified,But refused to put the chrome on. The body man said they didn't know how to put the chrome on the car. After a second time inspecting the car, we found that there were still several nibs runs and scratches on the new paint job. They finally agreed to fix it, but told me to remove my car that they no longer wanted my business. That they did not have the capability to paint a car to the level that was expected. ( a paint job without runs nibs and scratches) When i got my car back home. I was unable to open up the passenger side door, the body man had adjusted the fenders, too close. I found two broken bolts in the fenders, i supplied a brand new kit of bolts and they were in place but upon inspection I found random bolts were put in their place. After further inspection of my dad's car and checking the work that they fixed. We found more drips and scratches. The rearbumper that was install did not have the brackets in place and random bolts we're put in mounting it with a 3" gap on one side and a 1/4 gap on the other. The front bumper was also installed Incorrectly, with the wrong bolts and brackets. there were scratches on the lower valance. We were able to fix and adjust all mounting errors with little effort but the paint remains sub par. i'm sure that this business will say otherwise but luckily all conversations were videotaped or record. EPA, BBB and local agencies are being contacted. Do not take your to this place . You would get a better job at home in a garage! read more

Sent my car to this shop for the first time today. If I could give them 10 stars I would for the professionalism, customer service, and thorough inspection of my car and excellent communication skills. They are very knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable for the excellent service you will receive. I will stick by this shop for my current car any future maintenance and repairs, and any other cars I might get in the future. Other mechanic shops in my past have made me feel incompetent and as if my money wasn't good enough for them. I was just a number. Auto Alternatives treated me almost as if I was a long time customer, or even a friend. read more

An unfortunate event (thanks to the absence of ultrasonic sensors) happened to my brand new Tesla, but only cosmetically. At the recommendation of one of our members of a Facebook Group, I decided to drive an hour to get it fix. They were extremely accommodating and have addressed all of my concerns. I dropped it off on Monday and the vehicle was ready by Friday afternoon. I am very satisfied with the results, the total cost was very reasonable, without having to pay the Tesla tax. Both Miguel and Pedro have been great to work with. I have enclosed some before and after photos. Highly recommended!!! read more

I used Auto Body Alternatives for my Tesla Model Y, and have nothing but great things to say about their service! They got me in the same week I contacted them, which was awesome because the bay area dealerships were quoting my start date THREE months in advance. Great customer service too, Miguel who handles the claims was really responsive to all my texts. Pedro and his team at the body shop did a beautiful job on my paint job. They were able to match the pearl color, like nothing ever happened. I would definitely use Auto Body Alternatives (fingers crossed no more accidents and I don't have to!) and would recommend to all my friends. read more

Someone crashed my car and my front bumper and hood was just damaged. I got recommended by a family friend and I appreciate it so much. I called the shop and the owner greeted me & communicated with me. I drove my car down & Pedro explained the steps & started working on my car immediately. Miguel handled everything with the insurance making everything so easy. Since i already had issues with the insurance company he handled it like a pro. They worked & finished my car super quick in a about almost 3 weeks they fixed everything!! I love how almost every day they text you sending you updates on your car letting you know what's going on. As a female you think they would take advantage & have me pay more out of pocket but I totally didn't feel that way at all. They take care of their customers!! They work with pride. Totally recommend coming here for anything. read more

We got referred by our friend to talk to Miguel about our mechanic issues and body work on our car. Miguel gave good wholesale price for the body work and referred their mechanic shop for the issues. We had our 20 yrs old Lexus IS 300 with mechanical issues fixed by Lorenzo and his crew. Lorenzo was very professional, took pictures of the parts when pulled out, also asked me to replace parts only needed and not worry about the O2 sensors and other items that contributed to my Check Engine Light and other effects. His diagnosis was top-notch and right. I can feel a huge difference in the way my car drives now. Smooth with slight increase mileage after the cylinder misfire fix. I would gladly take my car again and refer friends as well. Wish they were nearby my hometown. Had to drive 45min but worth it. read more

My baby blue has had to visit this shop twice now. These guys are quick to take care of my car and their color match is always on point! First time someone backed into the rear end and smashed the metal part of my car in. Fixed it and you cant even tell!! The color fade is amazing. Second time I hit a dog had to get my front end replaced. Again color match and repairs are on point. Hope this doesn't become a place my car visits to much, but if she does I know she is always in good hands and coming home happy read more

Great business, great service! I actually forgot which side was scratched at first. They did a wonderful job.

This is a great place to get your dents fixed. The staff are very friendly. They can accommodate you in for repairs much quicker than all the other local shops I checked in to. I also liked that I could text a picture of my dent for an estimate rather than scheduling an apt. My estimate was very reasonable. The work they did was amazing. The dent in my car was approximately the size of a fist, which also needed paint. When I picked up my car the area of damage looked brand new. They evan shined my tires. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of these services. read more
