Super awesome! Brought in a Mini, which whatever you think about it, youd have to agree that if Morpheus had to explain the electrical system on it, hed just take both pills and call it a day. Anyway Dennis gave me a clear explanation of what it would take to get to the problem. We then agreed on a price before he did anything and sure enough, problem solved. He was referred by another mechanic that I go to so take that for what its worth.Either way this is the go to guy for your cars electric gremlins!
I was here for my Fj Cruiser when the alternator malfunctions and for 1 hour it was done. Dennis and his team did a great job they were very customer oriented and well experienced they know what theyre doing and will advised you according to your car problem. If you are in a budget its very wise to come here and for sure your car will run again.
Terrible place. I think this place used to be good.. but one of the original owners past away. Danny is a nice guy and tries to do the right thing ( I guess) but the Older gentleman needs to retire... what a shyster!They tell you they are going to do a good job and not to worry.. schedule you at hours that never work out.. then you get the bill and its astronomical! You are left scratching your head .. and really ticked off!!Waaaaay overcharged and rude when you question anything... I was a great paying customer that tipped the guys graciously for one summer with them when the replaced (3) sensors and performed misc electrical work. Since I was paying these guys what they asked .. you would think they would take t easy with me after I just spent a lot of money - the Older gentleman viewed me like I was a cash cow - and overcharged me for (2) other repairs that could have been done for at least 1/2 the price!!! I must have spent close to $3000 and the car is only worth about $2,500 - you would think they would give you a heads up BEFORE they do the work.. NOPE! If you need an all in one mechanic with all electrical repairs - go see Danny at - Limbergs Sons Complete Automotive .. they care about you , dont over charge you and tell you everything before they fix it - CORRECTLY with good prices!Do not go here!!
Okay so heres my experience with this..my Acura MDX was showing check charging system and the battery light was on..so I went to autozone and they plugged their computer and said the battery is good but i have a bad alternator.So I found alpha ignition on Google and I called him and asked him the prices and he gave me a very decent price.took it over there and he checked it and said I only need a battery and my alternator is good.saved me about $150..I mean he couldve just replaced the alternator and then couldve told me its the battery but he was honest..Dennis was the guy who helped me out..
I question their knowledge , they have guys working on cars which are at best learn as you go apprentice type workers . I dont believe they are truly skilled and I think thry rely on hit and miss mechanics . I was not impressed and I have a friend who goes to this place for general repairs , but one problem gets fixed and within a week another problem arises .
Poor ServiceI got there on a Saturday after calling them the prior Tuesday to setup an appointment. The person who answered the phone, Abdi, said no apppontment needed just bring the car on Saturday.Got there before they opened up only to be told I could not be seen because he was too backed up. The older gent has no manners and has a care free attitude ... I mean he tells me to come back at 2pm but he closes at 4pm so he cant guarantee me being seen.I live in Long Island so thanks but no thanks ... not wasting my time and gas anymore for you.So sad to see a businees by Peter and Andy be reduced to this. They would have never turned away a paying customer with a problem.Dont waste your time at this place.

2022-03-16They are specialized in vehicle alternators. Highly recommend there if you have issue with the alternator. And they do all kinds of engine diagnostics, air conditioning, starters and others. Dennis is the guy you have to look for, very nice and professional.

2022-05-31Took my toyota corolla to Alfa because my brakes were noisy and they not only fixed the issue, but made sure that the warranty would cover the replacement. super honest. on top of that, they checked the status of other things such as the oil and filters and were, again, completely honest with me - they reported back saying that nothing needed changing. a rarity as we all know that most places wouldve said, oh you could use a change here, just to tack on some addl service charges. taking my car back for maintenance when its actually needed. thanks to abi and dennis!

2022-03-08My 2005 Toyota had some really sporadic electrical issues and eventually the power locks went. I wasnt sure what was the cause and these guys not only diagnosed it within an afternoon, but showed proof AND were frank about options AND repaired it themselves within a day for much less than going through a dealer. Theres a reason why even my regular mechanic trusted them with electrical work.

2021-11-24Purchased a car from a reputable used car retailer which had some issues upon delivery and took it to Alfa for inspection. at first, I didn’t know what to expect when i pulled up - the block Alfa is on can be crowded with cars spilling out both garages, at times (actually a good sign) - but Im here to say you can trust your car with the team there. I left the vehicle with Abi and Dennis and within an hour (like 30 mins) they got back to me with a thorough inspection overview. Abi went the extra mile in asking about active warranty and actually spoke w the claims agent since they work with this company regularly. in the end, there was a list of repairs to be done, yet i only had to cover a fraction of the costs thanks to Alfa’s diligence in reporting the issues to and dealing with the warranty company. I felt like they actually cared about the safety and quality of the vehicle over the longer term, not just putting a bandaid on a cancer spot.I absolutely recommend Alfa. They were extremely attentive to the task and communicative, whether in person or on the phone, keeping me updated as things progressed. Never did I feel like they were swindling me or trying to overtax me on the costs (i did research for good measure and the big names like pep boys were more expensive for tire replacement and alignment). A+++ will be going back for maintenance milestones.

2021-07-01My car was having AC problems from the start since I bought it used. I was referred to Dennis at Alfa Ignition, was told he was the best, and after going to him, it was all true, he was very friendly, explained everything that was wrong or could go wrong in detail and fixed my AC, everything at a very reasonable price! (i went to other places for the same issue and they wanted to charge a lot more!)I left there happy and at ease, even for future mechanical stuff, I even told him im coming back for every car needs, as i now have my go to mechanic.

2021-01-15My car had some electrical issues so I brought it in to Alfa for a fix. After talking to the mechanic and discussing some prices for the issue, we eventually made it to a point where I could agree to.A gentlemen named Dennis fixed the issue I had & was attentive when i brought it in a few days after just to double check on the issue.Good service, very professional and easy to communicate with.

2021-07-23Dennis was great! I brought my car to install a back camera. He did it promptly, with a fair price, and with a very attentive service.
