What clients say about Alternator Starter Exchange in Sand City (CA)
Long story short - I purchased a used vehicle with issues without proper inspection beforehand. I found this local shop after a quick search and the owner was willing to check out my car on a Saturday when it's usually closed. After inspecting, he found a few issues that were concerning and provided me with the rates. Kevin (the owner) is an honest mechanic and gave me some fair quotes compared to other shops. I highly recommend this place for any of your auto car repairs if you're looking for an honest shop that's focused on the customer - he provided suggestions on what I needed to fix and what I may need in the future. Respect
GIANT THANK YOU to Kevin and his team! Kevin tried over the phone to diagnose an issue and get my car started. It did not start, but he and his team fixed my Miata up new, and running great. They worked a half day on Christmas Eve, so I was able to get it back that day, instead of a day after Christmas. I am so so grateful for them. They’ve gained a lifelong client. Thank you, Alternator Starter Exchange!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Alternator and Exchange. From the moment I brought my vehicle in, I knew I was in good hands. They treated my car with care, were upfront and honest about what needed to be done, and didn’t try to upsell anything unnecessary. The work was solid, the team was friendly, and the pricing was more than fair. It’s rare to find an auto repair shop that’s both trustworthy and affordable—but these folks are exactly that. Highly recommended!”
After call them two weeks ago they,she finally got back with their so called estimate. I was quoted 15 hrs to change the Rear main seal and Thrown out bearing. For those who know this job it was a ridiculous quote. At their flat rate of $200 per hour + parts would of cost me well over $3000
I change my transmission to a 5.speed with all the floor pan modification and I spent less $3000 and only 8 hrs on that whole job in my driveway. so Watch out for this shop and definitely verify their work

The absolute best guys around. Very quick service, extremely knowledgeable and lovely people. I can’t recommend them highly enough, thanks Kevin and Team!
Great honest shop. Quality work for an unbeatable price. They work on any car, any year! My 72 chevelle needed an LS swap cleaned up, Kevin and his crew did an amazing job l!
This company definitely earned my business. The girl working the front desk is fast and accurate and makes sure to keep you updated on everything immediately. She is an absolute pleasure to talk with, and especially for me because I tend to gab for days. The guys working in the shop itself are quick and professional. And I mean QUICK. I was in and out before I knew it. Already signing paperwork and driving down the street. I don't know what they did, but my SUV is running smoother than ever, and feels like it has more power than it ever did before. A huge thank you is owed to the people who work at alternator starter exchange. I will, for sure, be coming back and recommending you to everyone I know. We need more businesses like these in California. In america in general.
Kevin is literally the best mechanic in Monterey ! If you end up having work done on your vehicle by him you will certainly return. Fair and prompt with servicing and will not take a job that is not worth having done for you. I've had my share fare of crooked mechanics but Kevin's shop and his staff are amazing! My car went strong for 325k miles and I was able to sell it no problems because he serviced it for almost 10 years. Just go to Kevin, you'll be a customer forever like me !
Lolly, is the best front end shop help you will ever talk to, she has knowledge of various vehicles and is attentive, and Kevin is the best mechanic and honest and professional, plus quick!
This place is the best. My car was making the classic alternator whirring noise, so I brought him my alternator to have him rebuild it. He ran a diagnostic and told me the alternator was working just fine. When I asked what I owed, they said nothing at all. These are very kind and hard working people. I would definitely go back to give them my business anytime without hesitation. Perhaps when the alternator actually DOES go bad. Thank you Kevin and front desk girl, I didn't catch your name.
Great place to take whatever you have for repairs. Top notch (timely) service by an extremely knowledgeable team. They even work on RV's. Reasonable prices on top of all that. I'll be going back!
Kevin is a top-notch mechanic! He has built one of the top five auto repair shops on the peninsula hands down. Service has always been great no surprises this is the type of honesty you look for in a mechanic on top of an extremely knowledgeable mechanic. I highly recommend Kevin's alternator starter Exchange foremost Automotive needs.
Great customer service and honest people. I’ve been going there for years and never had a problem. They moved their location to 329-B Olympia ave, sand city, ca 93955. It’s just one street over from their old spot.
As a woman with little knowledge of car repair, I really appreciated that Kevin's eyes didn't glaze over with dollar signs when I first went to him with a car problem. In some cases he has helped diagnose the problem free and suggested an appropriate vendor if he can't fix the problem himself. I work with tourists and always refer them to him if appropriate because he has never steered me wrong, and has saved me a lot of money on repairs compared to other shops. I highly recommend going to him first.
