Why Oakdale Drivers Choose Auto Alternatives
Our two shops are located about 16 miles east of Modesto — an easy trip down Highway 108 or 120. Oakdale drivers are hard on their vehicles — dust, dirt roads, trailer towing, and long hauls to the mountains. We know how to keep those trucks running.
Oakdale is the “Cowboy Capital of the World” and a gateway to the Sierra Nevada foothills, and its about 23,000 residents deserve a repair shop that treats them like neighbors, not transactions. That’s what we’ve built for over 14 years.
