Alliance Auto Care

I really appreciate the hard work these guys are doing. I took my car to get shocks put in and they got me set up with a date to get it checked, found when I had time, we figured a price and got it done. I even asked for a diagnosis of the engine and they did it the same day while they where doing the shocks.

Joe and his staff are exactly what you would hope to find in a shop. It starts with a very courteous greeting and welcome when you walk in, quick appointment set up, timely diagnosis, detailed quote and outstanding work. My 1979 Mercedes 450 SL had sat for years and needed major work. Joe did a very thorough exam of the car and spent all the time I needed on the phone explaining everything; including what to do first in case I did not want to spend the money on everything. Well, I spent the money and after a test drive with Joe I just drove it home. WOW. He and his team went above and beyond and despite needing a month to do all the work he charged me what the estimate was and only added a last minute nominally priced part I agreed it needed. Vehicle runs like a top and put a smile on my face. Alliance Auto will be my go-to from now on!

$140 for them to tell me I needed sway bar links and bushings on my control arm.

I have held off a few days from posting this review as I wanted to be sure my assumptions were correct. I have done business with Joe/ Alliance auto care three times to be exact. Service has been good just pricey ( $120 per hour for Labor). I recently dropped off my 2011 Mercedes this past Saturday (1/12/19) to have him diagnose a very faint whistle noise that I thought was coming from my transmission. Having had my transmission serviced by Alliance Auto care in May of 2018, I was worried that something was wrong with my transmission. Thankfully when I came to pick up my vehicle Joe explained that there were no issues with my transmission other than a very minor leak from the Electronic adapter plug that goes into my transmision. The whine was coming from a faulty bearing within the alternator. So Joe recommended that we replace the battery, the alternator, idle pulley, tensioner pulley. He stated to me that my battery died while they were looking at it and that the test he ran indicated that I have a bad battery and that the alternator was not charging my battery. He advised that we replace my Drive belt (serpentine belt) and all pulleys around it since it is in the area of the alternator. He also stated that my drive belt had some give and was not in the best shape.... The laundry list of repairs totaled $2,085.62, and absolutely none of the repairs recommended were needed. My alternator was working and charging my battery just fine. Yes my alternator had the faint whine due to the bad bearing within the alternator pulley. But by no means did it HAVE to be replaced ASAP like I was told. I was also told that I had a bad battery & that my alternator was not properly charging my battery.I am not one to trust what people say without verifying myself and I am glad I did. I had my battery tested by a mechanic at Co's BMW here in loveland and was told/shown that my battery levels were testing good, and my alternator also was charging correctly. I decided that I wanted to get one more opinion on my battery and alternator to be 100% sure. So I went to Advanced auto and had them test my battery and alternator. The test that Advanced Auto & Co's BMW both showed that the battery I have in my vehicle is testing good and has plenty life left. The test also indicated that my alternator was charging my battery and running just as it should. Please check the photos below that show the test results for my battery and charging system indicating that everything was working fine.... GET A SECOND OPINION ON ALL REPAIRS AND BE VERY WEARY.

Extremely professional, knowledgeable, fair, friendly. My experience with everyone there has been top notch. It is refreshing to work with competent and up-front professionals. Joe follows through and genuinely cares about the quality of service and work Alliance provides to his customers.
