Ratings_icons Good Experience with A-1 Starter & Alternator

I got stranded in San Marcos after school one day when my car wouldn't turn over. They fixed my car the same afternoon, and went out of their way to make it cheaper for me. (I have an old car and didn't want to invest a lot of $) Would definitely go again. Ask for Mark when you go.

Connie L. A-1 Starter does not do oil changes. You must have went to some other business called A-1. We do have a customer waiting area,and have no pets here.

I took my girlfriends car here after an alternator problem on her 05 Focus and am very glad I did. After James examined the car he found that we just needed to replace a relay in the alternator. Other shops were going to charge us $475 for an alternator plus labor ($636 at one shop). James' expertise saved us several hundred dollars, which I am very greatful for!

I wouldn't hesistate to send anyone here! If you're looking for a quality shop with an honest owner. Look no further!

Ratings_icons good for alternators

If you need an alternator in San Marcos, I definitely recommend this place. As the name implies, they specialize in rebuilding and repairing alternators and starters. True, the location and shop are not exactly customer friendly, and the staff could work on their social skills, but they get the job done and give honest, accurate estimates.

PROS: price, quality of work
CONS: location

Ratings_icons Not For an Oil Change

I would never recommend getting your oil changed at A1. I went here and had to wait a long time. There is no official waiting area, and the chair I was given was quite uncomfortable. There were several dogs on the property that were annoying. The workers did nothing to keep them away from the customers. No one was very friendly, and I wasn't very happy.
