Tire air pressure sensor
Had a notification of low tire pressure on my mini cooper. Called Chris at Motorcar Alternatives to get the an appointment. Chris has an opening the very next day. As soon as the opened, Chris got me checked in and send a link to check progress. Ric started right off and did the checks on my tires and ca my vote conclusion that it was as simple as the temperature change that caused the notification. Ric filled the tires to the recommendation pressure and I was on my way in less than 30 minutes.

Scheduled appt for brake fluid service
Had a notification of brake fluid service on my wife’s mini. She was worried that a leak might have occurred. Called Chris at Motocar Alternatives and he made an appt for the next available day. Rick looked at the levels and noticed everything was looking good. The notification was informing me that it was a routine maintenance for the brake fluid due to the mileage.
Ric M. de Motorcar Alternatives a répondu le 10/25/2025 07:28 AM

Happy to find nothing serious. We will add that service to your next visit and clear that notification.

Simply Amazed!
1st time customer, now life long customer.
Brought my 2018 F150 in for repairs. During every step of the process, I was notified promptly of the status of my repair, what my truck needed and when I should expect the truck to be returned. I have never experienced anything like this before when having my vehicle serviced.
Motorcar Alternatives is the best service center I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
If you are looking for an honest, clean, and friendly service center, that not only specializing in knowledgeable auto repairs and true customer courtesy. This is your shop! Look no further, and schedule your repair with confidence.
Ric M. de Motorcar Alternatives a répondu le 09/14/2025 09:40 AM

Your endorsement of our service is greatly appreciated; we always aim for clarity over mystery—even in auto repairs! Welcome to the Motorcar Alternatives family.
