Reviews
Went for an oil change and of course ot wasn't just an oil change. Apparently, the oil pan was cracked and needed to be replaced. So they told me it was bot possible to make the oil change.
So once the part arrived a couple of days later they changed it and were able to make the oil change.
Today I am at a new mechanic, several months later to do my oil change and surprise surprise! Advance Auto Care did a terrible job at changing the oil pan! They used the wrong materials and it was leaking oil from several places. They charged me $800 for the part and labor.
There was little oil left in the car because of their mistake and poor service.
Needless to say, I will never go to this place and neither should you.
Update: they did not install the oil pan gasket!!!!!
This place is so wonderful. I've had them do all of my car work since I moved to this town. I've rarely ever had issues with them and if I ever do, they are so wonderful about making it right and taking care of me. Dave is seriously the best and super kind and informative. While all of the guys there are great, if Dave is there, I always ask if he can do my work.
The best place to get your car fixed properly. I got an estimate of $14000 (yes, thousand) from Toyota that didn’t make any sense. Jeff ran the diagnostic again and replaced only the struts. All the lights went off and my car feels great since then. I am lucky I found this place and got my car fixed for a reasonable price. Forever thankful
Staff is knowledgeable. They get you in and out quickly. Same day or the next, no appointment needed has been my experience.Their shop is larger than you think, with extra bays in the back so they can handle several cars at a time. I've had my sway bars replaced, tires changed, oil changed & rotor repaired on my 2005 Honda pilot. Reasonably priced and offer financing thru 3rd parties if needed. 5/5 recommend!
I needed a last minute oil change and these guys got me right in Super friendly very comfortable seating while you wait I definitely will be returning he
This shop will absolutely take advantage of you if they can. They charged me an insane amount for labor, and did not do the job. My car still had trouble starting only a day after leaving here because they did not replace the corroded parts. Terrible service, dishonest pricing, incompetent staff. They even misspelled my name on the invoice.
I really didn't want to have to write this review as I've had my oil changed here for years, but my last visit was insulting. They charged me $140 for an hour and half of work testing a battery and replacing it along with the terminal connectors. I guarantee this work did not take them an hour and a half.
Any mechanic can test a battery in 5 minutes (any auto parts store does it for free). Any mechanic can replace a battery and its connectors in 15 minutes. An honest mechanic would look at a 7 year old battery with corrosion and forego the battery test altogether instead of charging $40 and telling me they couldn't even get a reading. Instead, they chose to pretend this took them over an hour and charge me, a customer for years, and then not do the job correctly.
Not only did they not replace the clearly corroded parts (picture included), they also did not bother to do the idle relearn after replacing the battery. This process requires turning the car keys three times in the ignition, and then letting the car run parked for 10 minutes. I cannot overstate how incompetent their service was to not even do this. My car nearly stalled on the drive out of the shop because of this, and I ended up doing it on my own a block away from the shop. In the end, I replaced the cables myself in front of an auto parts store for $20 and half an hour of time. I have only ever done oil changes, so the fact that their mechanics can't do this in under an hour means they are unqualified to be working on anyone's vehicle.
I severely regret ever doing business with this shop. Their service is downright dangerous, fraudulent, and the people (especially Jeff the owner) are to be avoided at all costs.
Jeff reached out to me after I initially retracted my review feigning wanting to make things right, but this was also dishonest. It has been an entire month since he reached out and has not responded. My review is now reposted and will not be taken down. This shop has lost the business of at least four of my friends, and likely much more because of this incredibly poor experience.
EDIT: Jeff replied here saying I never contacted him. I tried posting my call logs and text messages, but that gets the review removed by Google. Just beware that he usually says upset customers either didn’t contact him, don’t exist in his records, or are mistaking his shop for another mechanic with the name Advanced in it.
Very satisfying to find a shop that is not looking for unnecessary repairs to complicate your bill they find the problem and fix it no hidden charges I’ve used this shop for years with different cars and I am very pleased with their quality of work
Trust these guys to be fair!! I'm so grateful for the service and the heart they have. Those places are very few and far between. I have found my forever shop, where I know I won't be taken advantage of and I can trust that if they can't fix it, they will lead me in the right direction. Thank you for making this part of car trouble less stressful. <3
