Was definitely not let down . Dan was professional and prompt with my truck . I will gladly send anyone who is looking for a honest and fair priced mechanic in Waterford this is your guy.

After another place told me my car overheated due to a leaking head gasket and included an unnecessary oil change and replacing my < 1 month old spark plugs in their $2600 estimate, I brought my car to Dan for a second opinion. His initial inspection of the car led him to believe that the issue was an air pocket in the radiator and subsequent low coolant. They bled the rad and topped off the coolant. He kept the car over the weekend to be able to drive it sufficiently to make sure there wasn't any other issue. Needless to say, his bill has fewer figures. I'll definitely be coming back to Dealer Alternative for my car maintenance and repair.

Dan and his team are honest and accommoding. They did not oversell things that weren't necessary, and told me which repairs were important and what could wait.

Dan is awesome! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and honest. He went above and beyond to work with me. He replaced my engine very quickly and very fair price. Will definitely be going back to him for any car repairs in the future.

I run Motor City Automotive of Waterford. We use Dan on a lot of Cars. They have always been honest and fair in prices. I feel great selling cars that Dan has inspected. We do our best to give our customers great cars at great prices. If you need repair work come see Dan and the guys at Dealer Alternative. They will definetely be honest and fair.

My family has known Dan for quite sometime! We have used him many times on diagnoses and repairs for our cars, and we have always been extremely pleased with the work he puts out! Recently, I had brought my car to a shop named Meadows nearby, and they tried charging me roughly two grand for some minor routine issues. Told them no, took it to Dan's shop, and the price he fixed my car for was a fifth of the price from meadows. It is safe to say that Dealer automotive has great honest work, for a much better deal! Thank you Dan and your employees for all the great work y'all put out!

Dan is the best!!!


Feb 07, 2023

Dan is the man! It has been a great experience having him service my Traverse over the last couple of years at Dealer Alternative. He is honest, kind, helpful and above all, he and his mechanics do a great job on auto repairs with a reasonable & fair price. Dan goes out of his way to make sure his clients know exactly what repairs were completed, which is what he did in the picture that I’ve included. I’m really glad I’ve finally found a mechanic that I can totally trust in the area!

Working with Dan has been one of the greatest experiences I have had when it comes to repairing a vehicle. Not only were his services done in a timely manner, but truly cost effective! Dan carries himself professionally and knows more than a thing or two about what he’s doing. I am exceptionally happy with the servicing and recommend this business to future customers!

Always a great experience! Dan takes good care of his clients. I've been happy with all of his repairs and he stands behind his work.

Dan did a fantastic job on my truck. He flushed the trans fluid, replaced both lower ball joints, replaced the right tie rod link, completed an oil and filter change, replaced the front brakes and rotated the tires. My '14 Silverado runs and drives like a brand new truck now! Reasonable price also.


Feb 07, 2022

Dan is great! He was very knowledgeable and I will be taking my car back there for sure.
