I refuse to go anywhere else but Mikes. He's an honest guy, does a great job. I really appreciate all the times he takes our cars last minute if we need something and has kept our truck running right. If you need someone honest, reliable and who gets the job done right the first Tim then mike is your guy! read more

Great people great business! They always take good care of my car! Thank you everyone in the shop and mikes a great guy!

Mikes used to be the place for me, my family and associates to get cars serviced. The last few years, service has declined and quality of work has suffered. My last (and final) contact was in September 2022 when after a repair my car leaked gas when refueling. I was told that the part (a simple hose) was not available from their usual supplier and that a part would be coming soon. I returned 5 (yes five) times to see what was going on and was told that this would be taken care of right away. Now it is January 2023, my car still leaks gas and I have come to the realization that Mike's doesn't want our business any more. No follow up, no call... nothing. This was just the last time something like this happened. Three times before the last incident, I had to bring my car back for some follow up work. It is now obvious that Mike's doesn't care and we will take our business elsewhere. read more

This is the best repair shop that I've ever been to. Mike didn't charge me for services I didn't need an they were extremely friendly. This will be the only place I go to for any car repairs I need. Highly recommend!!! read more

Find a reliable mechanic is like finding a good barber. Most of the time it's a crap shoot when you don't have any experience doing either one. Mikes is efficient and fair and won't over sell you. read more

Terrible service and workmanship Dropped my car off Oct 18 for complete check of vehicle. Mike informed us we needed a transmission and a complete brake job. He supposedly completed repairs we picked car up 7 weeks later on De. 6 with all repairs Supposedly completed. On December 24 while traveling Route 580 in Dunedin my husband lost all brakes and transmission failed. We have requested mike refund our money and he refused we have documentation from a reputable mechanic of the work that was supposedly completed or completed incorrectly. read more

I've been going to Mike's dealer alternative for over 5 years now and have yet to be disappointed by their services. I think the most important aspect of the relationship between a customer and an auto mechanic is trust; you have to trust that they will perform quality work without taking you for a ride. I've had nothing but great interactions with the staff, and trust them with the service of my vehicle as well as giving me a fair and honest price for their service. I highly recommend Mike's dealer alternative! read more

Great experience here with Mike and Victoria his daughter. Your not supposed to have a pleasant experience at the mechanic shop from my life lessons but they sure changed my opinion that it's possible. My issue was with my 2005 Honda Accord AC Mike diagnosed issue and gave me a reasonable price. I highly recommend giving them a chance. read more

Service was great! My starter went out on my 2014 Honda & repair with labor & parts under $500...Thank you!!

Living for over 29 years in this area, and driving high miles ,I've encountered all sorts of scoundrels in the auto repair industry. ( I have a private car service for 7 years now) Mike was highly recommended by a customer over 3 years ago. As a single woman with multiple cars, I've brought different age and brand cars to him, and every challenge he has solved in a timely and in-expensive way!!!! Never once did he try to "up-sell" me. From A/C service(now that's one you have to really watch out for at other service stations) Brakes, and yes, even Tires!!! When it was time to buy 4 new tires for my Hyundai Sonata, Mike sold me the EXACT same tires for over $110.00 less than Tires Plus. If you want someone you can TRUST, I highly recommend Mike's!

I've taken my car to Mike's twice now. The first time was a few months ago to repair the A/C that I had gone without for almost a year, because the previous two shops I took it to for an estimate made it virtually impossible for me to afford. I learned about Mike's Dealer Automotive from a coworker and decided to give them a try. Mike's quote detailed the same problems the other two shops had, but for a MUCH more reasonable price, and it only took them 1 day to get it fixed! Last week, the starter went out and Mike's came to the rescue again. They have been the most honest, reasonable, and professional car repair shop I have dealt with in Florida. I definitely recommend their services! read more

Great shop. Saved me 400$ on a quote I recieved from another mechanic. Work was done well and in a timely manner. Honest, nice guys. They have my business! read more

I'm new to town and have a new car, so was especially glad to find a reliable and trustworthy autoshop. I am more than satisfied with Mike's service and prices and recommend him enthusiastically--for any kind of car. read more

My truck had a oil leak and I needed it fixed ASAP called a few shops to find out who was the best in the area. A local off road shop highly recommended mike's Dealer Alternative to get me taken care of. I dropped off my truck and they gave me a sense of comfort knowing that my truck was in "good hands". They called over a week later to tell me my truck was fixed and ready for me to pick up, I picked up my truck drove it around for a few days only to find out that there was not one drop of oil in my motor and that it was still leaking oil, so I'll called them back and dropped it off for the SECOND time they "fixed it" again just for it to still be leaking oil, keep in mind they charged me $2000 to do the job so at this point I'm a little mad. Called them back for the THIRD time and the owner mike gave me his word that it would be 100% fixed right and would be "fixed by the owner HIMSELF" I pick the truck back up after them having it for a few days and boom still have a oil leak. So I made the ChoiceThat wasn't worth the headache to take that back for a fourth time, so I called Mike and tried to get a hold of him for over two weeks with no return call finally got a hold of him and when I did, I explain to him that somebody else will be working on my car and he will get a bill he proceeded to tell me "the fuck I will" and when I explained it to him he said "so I have no reason to be talking to a little fucking kid like you" morale of this is that I 110% do not recommend anyone taking there vehicle to them and wasting your hard earned money for basically nothing in return. Hope this helps at least one of you from making the same mistake I did read more

Great guys! I'm in the car business and I work for a dealer. They have me great prices on everything and I saved alot! I've been in the car business my whole life and I can tell you these guys are A+ read more

Mike works on my old caddy my New miata and my faithful toyota always happy with all aspecten of their work i highly recomend them

These guys are the best! Ed and Mike are always honest and fair so it makes for stress free repairs and upkeep on my vehicle. I highly recommend them and would never consider taking my car anywhere else! UPDATE-Ed, who was the heart and soul of this place, left. I made an appointment to bring my car in for an oil change anyway. I drove down on my day off only to be told by Mike-"Oh I should have called you. Can't get you in this week." I only wish Ed was still working here. This would never have happened. I won't be returning. read more

New in town was thrilled to find THE BEST work & repair prices right in my own backyard. Mike's Auto Repair provided quality, same-day service on a major repair, and charged the lowest price of 3 other estimates I'd received around town. Mike is very pleasant to do business with. Am so grateful to have discovered this auto service center! read more

Excellent repair shop. Fixed my brakes and also my EGR problem all at reasonable cost. Friendly and honest work done here would highly recommend to anyone looking for the same. read more

Mikes always does an amazing job on my car and has the best prices I have seen in the area. He's he only mechanic I trust to work on my car and I refuse to go anywhere else. Honest guys here and they won't nickel and dime you like a lot of other repair shops will. read more

Ill never go back. i found out later i was over charged by nearly 40% but thats debateable i guess. plus for a head gasket it took them 4 weeks when they told me 2. another time he charged my now wife $50.00 to repair the horn when all it needed was a $2 fuse. read more

I had an oil change at Firestone recently, and as I paid for it, they handed me an estimate stating that my vehicle needed almost a thousand dollars worth of repairs. They said I could drive it, as long as I drove slowly and didn't hit any bumps, as the tie rods were loose and sinking fast. Having heard many wonderful things about Mike's, I went there for a second opinion. He called me back a few hours later, and told me he'd checked out my car from stem to stern. He said "Richard, there's nothing wrong with your car. It's in perfect running order. I thanked him, and asked him what I owed him, and he said, "You're all set. All I did was check out your car." I said, can I at least give you money for beer? He laughed and said "Well, I wouldn't turn it down.!!" So there you have it. A great mechanic, who not only has integrity but also a sense of humor. I recommend him highly! read more

I had an 8:30 appointment on Mon. the 18th of Sept I showed up on time for a tie rod end replacement and an alignment. I was called at 1:30 and was told I needed anew tie rod end...Duh. That is what I brought it in for. At three I went back and the car was still in the lot. Grabbed my keys and said adios. Hell of a way to run a business. What was the point of a 8:30 a.m. appointment? read more

My family has been using Mike's for 10 years. I recently took my BMW M-series to another shop and they provided me a list of 'needs' that exceeded $6,000 (including a leak where there wasn't). I took my car to Mike and he went through the list and my car. Explain what was needed and what he felt was unnecessary repairs. Bottom line, I trust Mike and his crew! read more
