"You don't know Lidio ?" That question got me to contact Alternative Auto. I have 2 Ford Mustangs…read moreand I like taking them to Milan Dragstrip. Both are wonderful cars, inevitably, like most gear heads, I wanted more torque/HP/performance. It was suggested that I take my cars to Lidio, owner of Alternative Auto. Car people do not like just anybody working on their cars, but Lidio specializes in Mustang performance. Alternative Auto is not trying to be something they are not. They work on Mustangs, period (He now does certain late model GMs). When a company specializes in one thing they tend to be experts at it. Alternative doesn't do bodywork, add neon lights, or perform cosmetic changes. Their specialty is the engine performance. Lidio is very responsive and you talk with him directly. Lidio is no poser, he knows Mustangs inside and out. He made suggestion I didn't even think of. In addition, I made some suggestion that would have not given me the bang for the buck I wanted and he talked me out of spending my money. My cars were done before I was expecting them to be ready and they were better than I ever expected. They are better than they were when they left the factory and have the increased power I wanted. I will get to the point where I want more power and I will go back to Alternative.

Bad workmanship! I used Lidio at alternative a few times last year for my 2022 Mustang with 7k…read moremiles and the initial experiences were decent with minor things that I fixed myself and I didn't complain about, such as loose clamps for the intake. After the next visit loose exhaust clamps from headers alternative installed that were rattling from how loose they were. These things I took care of and never complained or mentioned because they were minor to myself. After discussing with Lidio at Alternative what my vehicle needed to run e85. Lidio recommended to have a Fore Innovations return style fuel system installed. Lidio said he would be able to order it directly through them. Also it could take up to a few months to receive. I paid alternative the entire amount that the system cost upfront. The parts came in and the car was there in September. The Car was in perfect running condition when it was brought to Alternative. While the car being there, I got a call from Lidio asking if he could buy my Fuel Pump Voltage booster. That the car was using previously on the stock fuel system. He stated that he needed it for another customers car at his shop because the brand he typically used was not working. The part was $399 before fees when I had bought it, and it was only a couple months old. He offered me a $200 credit, I told him to go ahead to be nice since my car was still there being worked on. It had a fuel system installed along with a Dyno tune for e85. When I arrived at Alternative to pick the car up, I paid in full. Lidio then turned the car on and it stalled out. I was told it was no big deal, and to bring the car back in a couple weeks. Well after about 10 days I reached out, and was told he needed some more time to be able to take the car in at the shop in order to fix the issue end of October but preferably beginning of November. I said no problem and told him to let me know when he could take it back. A month went by and I never heard back, so I contacted Lidio to see when I could bring it in. In the same chain of emails, he claims he didn't remember what I wanted to bring it back for and to remind him. Lidio said he needed another week to be able to take the car in at his shop. Finally I was able to bring it December 2. I got a call that the car was fixed and that he was able to fix the issue. I picked the car up and brought it home. Had the car trailered out of state. Then after starting the car and driving it down the road, the car began stalling out. It was trying to turn back on, but would continue to stall out and then it wouldn't turn on anymore. I was stuck in the middle of the road. So Within 3 weeks of having it back from Alternative and the car not being driven hardly at all. The car started having the same issue once again. When I reached out to Lidio he immediately claimed I must have already fried the pump. After asking if there were any warranties I was told there were not any. After just spending thousands of dollars I realized I was going to have to spend more money. After finding a shop, I asked if they could get the car up and running to be able to at least transport it back. They offered to squeeze my car into their schedule to help. Once it arrived they discovered some issues with the installation. The car had a fuel leak in the engine bay near the High Pressure Fuel Pump. The leaking fitting installed by alternative, once removed it was discovered that the threads were completely stripped and it appeared as if they just tried to seal it shut with sealant. Which could have easily caught fire had it not been caught. The pump had to be replaced as well. After the shop owner/tuner road tested the Vehicle. The Vehicle wasn't running good. He explained that the tune was faulty as well. It was then discovered there was no Boost reference line ran to the fuel pressure regulator. Then a boost reference line was added. After adding this the car had to be retuned. So after spending thousands of dollars at Alternative auto and the vehicle never ran correctly. I had to go spend thousands more to get it back up and running. I do not recommend this place!

From the very first conversation, he walked me through the entire process -- what to expect, timelines, options -- no pressure, just straight, knowledgeable guidance. He was personable, patient, and genuinely cared about doing it right. Even more impressive? He was able to squeeze me in the same day. If you know anything about high-end tint/PPF shops, that's rare -- especially for a place this busy. They kept the car for two days to complete ceramic coating and front clip PPF, and when I picked it up... I was honestly blown away. The gloss was unreal. It looked way better than the day I drove it off the dealership lot. The depth, the shine -- next level. I'll be honest -- I've never paid for a service like this before. I questioned whether it was "worth it." It absolutely is. Every penny. Beyond the results, the customer experience was top-tier. Communication was fantastic the entire time. The shop is spotless, organized, and family-friendly. The team clearly knows what they're doing and takes pride in their craft. You can tell this isn't just a job for them -- it's reputation and passion. Shawn and the team -- I truly cannot thank you enough. If you're on the fence about PPF or ceramic, stop researching and just call them.

Spoke to them on Wednesday morning and asked if my insurance company had come out to assess the damage yet. (I was told my CCF that once the damage got accessed and OK'd by the insurance company that I could get a free loaner while the repairs are being done.) John at CCF told me that the insurance company did not make it out to see the vehicle yet, but that they should be coming sometime in the afternoon. I got a call from my insurance company saying that they went to CCF around 3pm and they were closed and the doors were locked, so they could not assess the damage. It is now Friday morning and they are still closed. Just drove up there and the doors are locked. WHEN I SPOKE TO JOHN THURSDAY MORNING, IM NOT SURE WHY HE DID NOT MENTION THE SHOP WOULD BE CLOSING EARLY AND NOT OPENING AGAIN FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS??? It's Friday, they are closed for the weekend, and Monday is the holiday. Meaning the damage won't be assessed until Tuesday, leaving me without a vehicle til then. COMPLETELY unacceptable. I am extremely upset. To top it off, my car isn't even accessible to be towed elsewhere to have the repairs done. IF YOU WANT PROFESSIONAL, TIMELY SERVICE, DONT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE!!!!!!!!

They kept making up excuses as to why it took so long to replace the transmission until finally 7 days ago they said I could pick it up. $4400 later and the RPM was running high and my car was making a weird noise. Then my car started leaking fluid and eventually it shut down because the engine was too hot. So I had to get it to towed back to collision collision. Turns out the mechanic told someone at the shop that they did give me my car back way too soon. They kept telling me they were test driving it but the mechanic never did test drive it. The whole experience was a complete nightmare and the worst professional experience I've ever had in my life. And to end it all, I was trying to call the shop to see if my car was ready yesterday but Damien kept hanging up when I called. He just yelled THEYRE REPLACING THE TURBO YOUR CAR WILL BE READY TO PICK UP AT 1 and hung up. And kept hanging up when I was calling back. Don't fucking bother with this place.
