They got a used car door in the same color and a used car's replacement glass and did the replacement/beat the side dent out of my car for about $1200. They also spray painted the side where they'd been working to make it more homogenous, and took care of a good sized rust spot on the top of the car (sanded and painted over it). Ernie Sr and his som Ernie Jr are also just really nice folks, as are the staff. When I need help with my car I'll definitely take it back to Ernie's.

Nothing is harder than being hundreds of miles away from your child when they break down. The helplessness feeling was horrible. Once we got the car to A&A Automotive they spoke with my husband over the phone and took care of our daughters' car. We can't thank them enough. They had her car fixed and back to her in 24 hours. The price to fix her car was very reasonable for the work they performed and we were very happy overall with the repair and the service.

Eric Camarillo is the man to see. If you like to car shop with no pressure or gimmicks Eric is your…read moreguy. From beginning to end Eric was honest and upfront. I have bought a lot of cars and I do my homework before going to the dealer. I went to purchase the only Sequoia on the lot and got a sweet deal on my 1794 hybrid. Eric gave me space and answered my questions and was there if I needed him. Unlike some dealerships I never felt like I was just an old black lady and couldn't afford such an expensive car. (It's happen more times then not) the dealership is clean with a free food truck fair on Saturdays, which is an added bonus. If you want to be free to make your own decision on which vehicle is best for you, I highly suggest you go see Eric Camarillo at San Marcos Toyota. You will be happy you did. #Eric Camarillo #1 sales

It was on the right passenger side which requires a lot of parts to be taken off to get into where the lightbulb replacement should go and AutoZone where I purchased the bulb could not help me. As I don't live there as I live in another city, referred me to Dealer Alternative which I am so happy now that he did. They were so helpful and I even got to spend some time with a wonderful, beautiful , rescue dog, I believe her name was Sage, a Weimer Reiner mix. They were so efficient, quick, and kind with my situation, knowing that it was going to get dark soon and I needed my headlamp working. I live in a small town and it's hard to find automotive help right away when you need it. I highly recommend them and if I am back in San Marcos and need any other automotive help, I will definitely reach out to them. Five star service.
