This review is more than 2 years due but I am finally getting to it!05/13/2024: My old but reliable 1999 Mercury Mystique battery died on me while on the Freeway. Checked around for a reliable mechanic nearby and got my car towed to All Around Auto Repair (AAAR). Dale and team replaced the alternator. Total cost was $603 (Alternator + Drive Belt = $370 and Rest was labor). I picked up my car on 05/17/2024.05/16/2026: Battery in the same car died again while on the freeway. Since it was a Sat when All Around Auto Repair is closed, I got the car towed by AAA to the nearest shop with a good rating called My Mechanic Complete Auto Care in Cotati, CA. Based on the symptoms I mentioned, they mentioned that the alternator has gone bad. It was a bit upsetting but I was more upset when they quoted me $1,600 plus to replace an alternator. I was like, is the darn alternator made of gold?! I called AAA and asked them what my options were. They recommended getting it towed to the nearest AAA repair shop (AAA Auto Repair Service) within .5 miles and wait until Mon for follow up. I got a quote on Mon for $800 plus. Since it was Mon, I called AAAR. Dale mentioned that the alternator was still under warranty and I should bring the car to him. Took the battery off the car and got it fully charged at the nearest Auto Zone. That was enough to drive the car to AAAR. It took Dale and team a few days but they got my car going again.11/08/2026 (Today): Car is still running well. No further issues with the alternator so far. Hope it continues to stay that way. :)Thank you so much Dale for honoring the warranty. Much appreciated!

I trust Dale to advise me well and do good work. My car is purring again after its oil change.

Dale is great! Explains what needs to be fixed and patiently answers any questions. I feel like my Kia Soul has found its primary caretaker in Santa Rosa!!
