About Our Shop in Safety Harbor, FL

15+ Years of
Proven Experience 

The technicians at Duane’s Dealer Alternative are always here for your auto repair and concerns in Safety Harbor, and we have been in business since 2010. We happily service members of the Tampa Bay community, too! Over the past 15 years of working with the local community, our family-run and locally owned business has been able to fix thousands of cars, trucks, and SUVs to dealership quality and lend a hand with upkeep along the way. Our founder, Duane Desouza, boasts decades in this industry, spending much of his professional life working for Lexus dealerships, giving him the knowledge to begin his own repair shop journey. There is never a perfect time for auto trouble. We completely get it. However, when you get backed into a corner and feel like there’s nowhere else to go other than the manufacturer for fixes, our awarded and certified team steps in. We can help with your bumper-to-bumper repair requests, including for the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electrical system, wheels, diesel components, exhaust, and more, all at convenient timelines and pricing. Our technicians also stand behind most auto repairs with a 36-month/36,000-mile TechNet warranty, which helps to give you total peace of mind when scheduling with us.

Bumper-to-Bumper Auto Care  

Every car ages differently, so Duane’s Dealer Alternative continues reimagining the automotive repair, replacement, and maintenance process. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all option we give you, nor do we try to put pressure on our customers during their repair or replacement. When you come to see us in Safety Harbor, you will meet a team of industry veterans who truly care about the quality of service they provide you with. Even better, we offer weekday walk-ins for repairs and inspections, plus we can run diagnostics on your car to find out what is causing trouble. When you need us, we will be here, plus you can always call or message us with concerns or questions as they come across your radar. We are your friends in the auto business! Please feel free to swing by during our regular hours from Mon-Fri: 7:30am-5:30pm weekly to begin.  

Convenient Maintenance  

On top of auto repair services at Duane’s Dealer Alternative, we can also be your go-to shop for all things car maintenance and preventative repairs and replacements. This might mean new brake parts like pads and rotors, fluid flushes and changes, oil changes, filter replacements, timing belt replacements, alignments to your wheels and suspension, tire balancing or rotations, and so on. Our ASE-certified technicians have worked inside vehicles from around the world during their time at our shop and have the insight and training to make things right the first time, so please don’t be shy to introduce yourself to them and get the ball rolling. You may even want to have us run diagnostics on your engine and other major components every 12 months to get a clear view of what is happening under or inside your car, so don’t forget to mention this while booking.
