I had been getting a two-week run around from AAA to replace a battery. I needed to take my friend to the Airport (and get food) and my ETA through AAA had changed too many times to count. Having lost complete faith I called Ace Alternators and Jeremiah answered. Though my battery was "rare" according to AAA, they had it in stock. I asked if they made house calls and i was instructed they didn't but I said I had been waiting for two weeks and Jeremiah made time to come out and install the battery. I was in a tough spot and I really got to say this type of level of integrity and service is very hard to come by these days. The price for service was very reasonable. Thank you Jeremiah and Ace Alternators for going the extra mile. Not related to Ace: I would say that AAA battery service is not very helpful in rural places based off of my experience. I had it in my head since i've never actually used my AAA and had it for a long time that it would be a great experience working with them. Their policy end of the day is that battery service is something they offer pending availability (regionally) and if the third party contractor that they assign to help you has a completely broken supply chain, you are kind of at the mercy of whenever they get around to helping you. I talked to about 10 AAA people and besides asking if I was in a safe place at the top of the call, they practiced zero compassion and even misleading me that they could help me when they would not. At the end of the day when I spoke to a manager they were really cold and unapologetic about their responsibility (or lack) to help me. I feel like battery service is one of the baseline reasons why a lot of people get AAA. I felt like their main preference was towing me to a place where someone else can deal with it because it was too inconvenient for them. Back to Ace: Ace was the opposite experience. It took one phone call, not 20. Reality matched up with what I was told (and then some). I feel like contractors often make their bread and butter through churn and burn and charge crazy prices. Ace is the type of business you keep coming back to because you know they don't play those games and they just let their work speak for itself. Super refreshing to see! Thanks again for your help. read more

Competitive pricing and a better quality alternator compared to your store alternators. Would definitely use them again.

good guys and honest work. I dealt with Cody and Id def bring my car back here again for electrical work.

Exceptional customer service, every single guy I have dealt with there has been knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and quick to respond and/or complete a service. A quality local shop with hard-working employees! read more

I've been using Ace Alternator for years, since even when Dave was owner and he even got his hands dirty! Great service!

My parents broke down while camping and they were able to see them and fix it ASAP! It's hard in a small town, all the other shops I called were booked for weeks but this place took care of my parents (and their dog) and I can't thank them enough! read more

Excellent work and excellent service. Had work done on multiple visits on various parts. Highly recommended

These guys are the best! They rebuilt the starter from my 1990 Volkswagen vanagon four-wheel-drive camper. Now I'm going to get another 32 years out of this starter! read more

I have been using Ace Alternator for over 20 years now for any of my Automotive electrical issues from batteries to wiring problems. They have always solved the issues I was having from my autos to my jeeps and trailers to my motorhome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is having any sort of electrical issue with their vehicle. In that time, I have never had an issue with any of the work they have performed. read more

My battery died and after getting a jump start, the AAA guy recommended I go to Ace. I went straight there and they got diagnostics on my car battery immediately. They said I needed a new battery (not surprising) and quoted me a price comparable to online prices. They had it in and I was back on the road in less than 15 minutes. Great customer service too. read more

These guys from Ace are Great! When my F150 (w/410K+ miles) lost a battery connection, the local ford dealership said sure, '$500 & 2 days or take a hike'! Assholes! they dont deserve to represent Ford (Listening Dearborn?!). This in the middle of a 5 day vacation. The guys from Ace showed up, got my truck running and back to their shop, performed a rock solid repair in 40 minutes and for only $80! I had a truck full of family at the time, but next time I'm in yucca valley, CA, i am going to stop & buy those guys a beer! For the Best in auto/truck wiring and human kindness, see Ace Alternator! read more

I see other reviewers agree with me! These guys are great. This "old school shop" has helped me and my family out with batteries, a weird RV wiring problem, and, yep! an alternator issues. They are honest, smart, efficient. My last stop there was for a battery change. The guys took care of it as I sat in my car. They sold me a high end reliable battery, meticulously cleaned off my cables, and blew the crude off the inside of my engine compartment. Super easy. No big deals. read more

Such nice guys! I moved to joshua tree in 2018 and was living in a trailer for the first time. In order to get air conditioning in the trailer (kind of a necessity in the desert), it needs both a marine battery and shore power (120 V). They helped walk me through this and troubleshoot right away as problems came up. They've always been so kind. Thank you! read more

At this point, Ace has 20 reviews. Every single one of them gives 5-Stars. And there is a good reason. They absolutely deserve it. They do extremely high quality work...and as a bonus, THEY ARE NICE!!! When was the last time you went to a mechanic shop and they were GENUINELY nice and kind? I was broken down and the worked on my truck until after dark to try to get me on the road. It finally turned out that they would need a part that wouldn't be available until the morning. So what did they do? They drove me to a hotel nearby and told me that they would pick me up when the truck was ready. These guys are all-pro. I've had 58 cars...yes, that's right 58 cars/trucks/vans. I've been to lots and lots of mechanics. These guys are the best, hands down. You'll be happy that you went to them read more

Ace Alternators Generators & Starters - Auto Repair Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

I should have posted this years ago. This business is superb! I have been doing business here since the 1980's. Quality parts and service. They always stand behind all their work. If it's something they can fix, it's where I go. read more

Love this shop! They have been in business for a very long time there is a really good reason for this. Everyone that works there gets along great it's a wonderful experience. My first experience was getting an alternator rewired for a specific application. They were right on it and pricing was perfect, considering I didn't want to throw out my high output alternator. Second visit was to replace the battery cables and leads for my Jeep as they are no longer available from the dealer. The tech working on my car also pointed out an issue related to my obd2 port that I was unaware of. When needed we will for sure be back. So incredibly appreciated the honesty of this place a breathe of fresh air in comparison to the other shops out here. Keep up the good work! read more

Showed up with vehicle and met Cameron, who I have known since he was young, and he quickly diagnosed problem and replaced a bad battery and off I drove. Thank you Cameron. .... read more

I have never had such an incredible experience at a random shop. Jerm and Bill were so nice and helpful when my alternator in my 4Runner went out while heading to climb in JTree. The gave me cost effective solutions and repaired my alternator a lot faster than imagined! I highly recommend this shop. You will be blown away that such customer service still exists. Thank you guys so much for all the help and saving me money! You guys rock! read more

We're fortunate to have this shop in our community. They're honest, efficient, and charge fair prices. Mike has been especially helpful, in more ways than I can enumerate here. I would--and do--recommend this business to anyone who doesn't want to scr*w around with shifty, incompetent shops. read more

Finally found a old school shop that knows about alternators and how to rebuild them. I went in today for Batteries for my Excursion. They had them in stock at a very competitive price. read more

Our alternator bit the dust on the hottest day of the year in the middle of Joshua Tree. We were stranded on the side of a desert highway in 107° heat. Things were pretty bad! HOWEVER, Jerm and Mike at Ace Alternators fixed us up for not too much money and sent us on our way! They were awesome and friendly! They really set our minds at ease after our ordeal in the desert! If you need a battery, or an alternator, or a regulator like we did- these guys are legit pros. Thanks, guys! read more

This place is the best there is! If you are anywhere within 150 miles of ace alternator, make the trip to them. They're HONEST which is something you rarely find in mechanics, they're quick and very well priced, they're customer service is excellent. Ace alternator is hands down THE BEST shop around. DO NOT GO TO A MECHANIC IN 29 palms. Every shop in 29 was going to charge me $300-$600 for something that ace did for FREE. I was installing an after market back up camera on my vehicle and I spliced into the reverse light incorrectly causing it to apparently blow a fuse (ace figured that out), causing my car not to start. I called everywhere in 29, baileys wanted $88.99 JUST to do a diagnostics test (aka plug they're computer into the car and narrow the problem, something ace did in less than a min), another shop wanted $110 and E-Z auto wanted $30. That's JUST for them to test it! Anyways, point being ace alternator is the best shop I've ever been to and I highly recommend it for ANYONE read more

These guys a electrical Rockstars. I had been chasing a trailering light problem for a couple of weeks. I finally got around to scheduling an appointment with the intentions of leaving my trailer with them for the weekend to trouble shoot it. But after talking to the tech (Jerm) he was able to track down the issue and had me on the road in a half of an hour. This isn't the first time I've had to go there, they are knowledgeable and professional. read more

They fixed the faulty lock mechanism on my truck and made it functional again. I was locked out of my driver side and they fixed it without me having to buy a $500 new lock and handle mechanism. Only charged me $40 bucks after working on the problem steady for close to an hour. A knowledgeable shop more interested in fixing a problem than taking your money. I call that a keeper ! read more

This is a great place to take your car, Extremely honest! Wonderful staff, Great prices. Will Not rip you off. I've even had them fix things for free if it was easy and didn't need a lot of time. You will be well served by giving Ace a chance. read more

Hole in the Wall godsend, and I'm an atheist. Rolled in 15 minutes before they close, and they still jumped to help me out. Tested my alternator - strong, so that wasn't my problem. Replaced my battery terminals - acid corroded, but still wasn't the problem. Really knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile for customer satisfaction. I still haven't figured out what's wrong with my car, but they helped to narrow it down significantly. Maybe a fuel pump problem. Skip the big lots and find this ma and pa desert go-to for electrical car issues. read more

I've been using Ace for years and can't say enough good about them. Competent. Extremely helpful and customer oriented. If you think you have an electrical issue with your car, truck, rv, etc., drive in and they'll look it over for free. The difference with Ace though, if they can't find a problem or it's something simple, they'll explain it and send you on your way without inventing some bogus thing to rip you off. Ace is the exception to the auto mechanic cliche that they're "either competent OR honest but not both". Good people. Tell 'em Steve at Kelly's recommended you on Yelp. read more

What can I say about these guys? They are fantastic! Not only do they do excellent work, they are kind and positive. Not something that you typically fine in a mechanics shop. This is one of the best run businesses I've seen. Thanks to Jerm and the crew. You guys rock!! read more

What can I say if you want amazing customer service that is genuine, professional and even educational come here! After two days of trying to fix my charging problem on my own, replacing the voltage regulator 4 times and the alternator, I came in and talked to Greg (?) Told him my saga and had my charging problem diagnosed (a bad alternator). He rebuilt it quickly all with a smile and easy light conversation. He even too the time to show me the test and explain what was wrong initially and how it was testing good after the rebuild. These guys know their stuff! read more

this place has a good spirit about it. the employees are friendly and community members appear to have a positive opinion about the owner and the company. I was impressed with their fast and thoughtful service and the sense of comradery that they instilled in me. It is a delight to encounter friendly, thoughtful and spirited service in this year of covid. Jon W. I give the joint a 5 star rating even though i have not yet got the car back. We'll see if it holds. jw read more

This place is the SHIZ. We broke down, big time in our motorhome, in the middle of no reception Joshua Tree National Park, and the towing company (AAA saved our butts) recommended this place to fix our burnt out altie. My god the people that own and work at this place are kind and honest and polite The price was also so very right! Turns out it's cheaper to get work done out of town than in our hometown where I bet a rebuilt alternator would have cost DOUBLE. These guys were beyond helpful too, showing us exactly what the issue with our old alternator was, what could be done about it, and even trying to help us with a few other issues in our motorhome that had nothing to do with the alternator. Anyhow, you guys at Ace, you are stellar. You made our desert trip down to Anza Borrego possible in the days following this repair. So Grateful. read more

I honestly cannot day enough wonderful thing about the staff at Ace Alternators. The fixed my bad alternator quick,efficiently,for a reasonable price and got me up and running the same day. For a busy mom of three Ace Alternator was a lifesaver. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Misdiagnosed my functioning generic starter as "undoubtedly bad", then rebuilt it for $170, when a new one online is $60. Their claim for a superior quality than online is false- forgot a spring in assembly and actually made my ok starter bad, causing me huge expenses (damage, tow, labour, etc. - at least $700 and time). Ace took no responsibility for their actions- just assembled the spring back, wouldn't even offer a discount on fixing my alternator. I wouldn't do it there anyway. If you are willing to pay a premium for the waranty- Auto Zone's is a lifetime nation wide warranty for the same price. Ace's is a local year or two. Or just get the $60 one on eBay. read more

I came in late yesterday afternoon in the pouring rain. I thought my electrical was going out on my car bc I had a tail light and head light out in the same day. Jeremiah (?) assured me that it's just a common issue on my model of car. He installed my head light replacement right away- for free. What amazing service. Thanks! read more
