I've had some complex repairs completed successfully that required serious diagnostic skill. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, and I was convinced I was looking at $1,800.00 or more. And I would've paid that. But because they were not only good, but honest, my cost was $32.00. A great, competent and honest business. Priceless. read more

Advance Auto Repair - My 1990 Mustang LX 7-Up Special with a 302 V8. - Auto Repair Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We recently tried Advanced Auto Repair after a couple terrible experiences with another service center. Chuck and his team are amazing! Great service, transparent pricing and takes time to explain everything to you. Will take all my vehicles here from now on! read more

Chuck and his team are amazing! This place is little a gem! Fantastic customer service, communicates with you throughout your service, honest, good pricing and even follows up after to check in! Highly recommend! read more

Honest and thorough. Very informative. Chuck won't do anything on your car that isn't needed and will go out of his way to make sure it's done rigth read more

Chuck is unlike any other person in the industry. He cares more about being honest than making money for his business. I can trust him to always tell me the truth about what's going on with my car, what needs to be done, and what can wait. I refuse to take my car anywhere else. If you're looking for an honest mechanic who knows what he's doing, Chuck is your guy! read more

Honest, honest, honest!! Chuck is the bomb: he won't try to sell you on repairs if your car doesn't need it. He ENJOYS working on older cars (60's-70's) and provides an upfront appraisal before he begins work. I cannot stress the "honesty" part enough: you can trust what he tells you. read more

Was having some issues with my shifter on my Saturn so I drove it here right away without even making an appointment dropped it off. I had left my window down and I did not know, and they were kind enough to lock up my car for me and roll up my windows. The next day I was contacted and they were able to diagnose what was wrong and had everything fixed within one day, they did amazing job and for very good price. I'm super happy with this place and I'll definitely be back again thank you for keeping me on the road -Mac Brickhandler read more

Will absolutely come back here again for any other mechanic work i need done. Chuck was extremely friendly helpful, and informative. I came in for just an oil change, but they still did an overall inspection for me, which was really wonderful! The inspection was detailed and helpful. My car is one of the most important things to me, and they treated it, and me, wonderfully. read more

Advance Auto Repair - Getting an oil change- So far they've been very friendly and helpful! - Auto Repair Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I'd give em ten stars if I could. Crazy knowledgeable, reasonable, and honest mechanic shop. Quick turn around, upfront and exactly what was estimated. Kept me informed the entire job. Brought my f250 in wouldn't start, I had tried almost everything, they went through my system, found the problem, called me for approval to proceed and had me up and running in less than 24 hours of dropping it off! I had a lot of technical questions they answered them all, very patient with me and treated me with respect. Even provide free roadside assistance?! I'm SO glad I found this shop. Thank you advance auto!! read more

LOVED this place. So honest compared to other auto shops. Had my car towed there and a few hours later was able to pick it up. Small thing with my shifter that needed to be repaired but I had them do an estimate that another shop had done for a control arm and it was $200 cheaper, plus they didn't charge all the extra work the other shop wanted to add on. As a woman in my early 20s I get worried that auto shops will take advantage, but this place answered my questions and took time to explain everything well. This is absolutely my new shop! read more

I had a crack in my radiator at the filler neck and ultimately was trying to be up charged where I took it originally. I found this place through my brother and Chuck really had my back and even did an inspection for my car. They were really nice and got me in and out all in one day. The price was nice on my wallet too! ;) Thank you so much again! I'll be back! read more

I took my 1991 Ford Bronco in for drivability issues. Chuck was able to get me in and his technician was able to perform the diagnosis fairly quick. They performed the necessary repairs, even did a differential service to inspect the ABS tone ring. I was out of there the next day and my Bronco drives much better. read more

DEFINITELY 5 stars + AC went out in my little Hyundai Dealerships couldn't get it in for about 2 weeks so I shopped around. Advance Auto Repair had fantastic reviews so I gave them a call on Tuesday. I worked Wednesday, dropped it off Thursday afternoon, just before a 3 day weekend (Sat-Mon). Diagnosed it early Friday and had parts delivered by end of the day. First thing this morning they got to work on it and had it ready today Price was exactly what I was quoted. We've been having an electrical issue with our van since we parked it for the pandemic., I'm pretty sure we'll be taking it there to get checked out :-) And a side note, I'm having some issues with my right knee and have to wear a brace on it right now and keep it elevated when I'm not moving around. I asked permission to turn two chairs facing each other and put my feet up on one. He went above and beyond and came around and positioned the chairs for me. Super nice customer service! That's one thing I really do like about owner operator stores :-) read more

Advance Auto Repair is great, and the owner, Chuck, is the best. They did good work and when something unexpected came up I was never charged extra. When they could save me money, they would. On an AC repair, it wasn't as bad as they thought so they cut off like $600 from what was estimated. Honest with great customer service. I love that I can just text them questions. They even got on with a friend of mine who ran into car troubles in Prescott, someone who had never been a client. It was clear they always had my best interest at heart. Wish I still lived close by. I doubt I'll find a better mechanic. read more

Thanks to Chuck & Adrian for being Honest & taking care of my car repairs at a fair price. Adrian also found a 2nd hand back tail light for 1/2 the cost that looked brand new. They also remember you by name and repair which I find amazing. I also get my Oil changes done at A.A. JJ Sun Devil Printing read more

Advance Auto Repair - Magnets by Sun Devil Printing. - Auto Repair Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have been going to this mechanic for years and I will never go anywhere else. As a young woman new to Arizona I was careful to read reviews before trusting my car to a mechanic. The great reviews brought me here to Chuck in the first place, and I haven't been disappointed in the years since! I trust him to do a thorough diagnosis and make truthful recommendations with no pressure or the manipulation you get at a lot of mechanics. This business is run like a family business. The owner's mom is the one making follow-up calls to ensure everything is running smoothly after you get your car back. It is such a breath of fresh air to know that you're doing business with genuinely good hearted people. I can't recommend Advance Auto enough!! read more

Very professional and high-quality service every single time. Turn-around time is fast. Information is always explained in a straightforward and helpful way. read more

I am so impressed with this repair shop! They are so professional and friendly! I absolutely trust them to take care of my car! Ben W. read more

My friend referred me here and I am glad they did. Great communication and friendly service.

Had an appointment for an oil change at 11. Got a phone call at 3 stating that my hood latch had broken and that there was no way they could get it open easily. So it took 4 hours to do an oil change? Anyways, they said that since they warned me before hand about the possibility of it getting broken, they were not at fault. Quoted me for almost $400 to get it fixed because the job was supposably very difficult. I told them I would get my brother, that's a mechanic to see it. When I entered to grab my keys, he did not say anything to me. He did not explain what had happened, not a word, just handed me my keys. My boyfriend checked out my car and opened my hood with some pliers. The hood latch was not broken, just the plastic handle that you pull. Definitely trying to pull a move and take out money from me. I really thought this place was a place I could trust but my services will be done somewhere else from now on. read more

This was my first trip to AAR. Chuck and the team are hardworking honest guys. I like the family feel to this place. We don't even live in Mesa, but it's worth the drive for an honest, good mechanic. read more

This was my first time coming into Advance Auto Repair and Chuck was extremely helpful the entire time! I am always skeptical about where I take my car, but this awesome family owned shop made me feel like I could get all my services taken care of without being skinned alive in price. They are honest, reassuring and friendly. 100% recommend and will be continuing to bring my car here from here on out! read more

I highly recommend Advance Auto Repair. They were professional, friendly,and explained everything to me. This was my first visit, but I know, moving forward, this will be the only repair shop that I trust with my car. read more

VEHICLE INSPECTION Chuck provided a really thorough 30-min inspection of a car that I was considering buying. He is knowledgeable and offered several insights, in addition to pointing out areas of possible concern and giving us tips for further research and things to look out for while car-shopping. Furthermore, he was really friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful in the process. Definitely appreciated his apparent experience and expertise! read more

Went in for a maintenance check and chuck was very nice. Took little time for the work that was done. Felt like I could trust him and that he respects everyone! Very honest and didn't try to over sell stuff. All in all a good experience and I'll definitely keep coming back. Go to him guys he'll help you out! :) read more

I called a spoke with the owner chuck who was very professional and caring on the phone. I told chuck that I brought my vehicle to Sears automotive and Firestone for an estimate. Chuck asked me what were my concerns. I told Chuck every time I brought the vehicle back they kept finding more and more that allegedly that was wrong with the vehicle, driving the price up past $4,000.00. Chuck told me bring the vehicle to him he would look at it soon as I brought it to him. Chuck told me his price to fix my vehicle was only $57.00 and it would run great again. You only find an honest mechanic like this once in a lifetime. I will never bring my cars anywhere else. Chuck will soon be working on my other car that Sears charged me $3,700.00 and it still run's horrible. I'm done with Sears and all the corporate run stores. Chuck is very down to earth and a very honest person. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and bring your car to Chuck!!!! 5 stars!!!! Thankyou Chuck!!!! Matthew J Kearns read more

This is the best mechanic shop I have ever been to! As someone who knows very little about cars, I have found that many mechanic shops have tried to rip me off with their prices for simple procedures. Not Advance Auto Repair! My significant other and I will never go to any other mechanic shop because of how great these folks are. Chuck provides the best customer service and really takes the time to explain things to us. He has never made us feel dumb for asking the simple questions, and provides services at a fair and affordable price. I'm extremely happy that I have finally found a mechanic that I can trust. Would highly recommend this shop to everyone! read more

I have always had very positive experiences at Advance Auto Repair. The staff is very friendly and honest, and I never feel like I am being suggested to do unnecessary repairs. Chuck is very truthful and will tell me what is necessary versus what can wait and how long I can afford to wait. I am so glad to have found this place and know that I can get work done with much less stress. read more

These guys are really informative and a great price! We are a touring band and they saved our butts and gave us such amazing service for several hours at a super low cost! Thank you guys so much for helping us stay on the road! -machine-band.com Highly recommended! read more

Upfront about what needs to be done now and what can wait! I have never had that kind of honesty from an auto repair shop! They did a great job on my Sheena (my Chevy Traverse) I will be back for regular maintenance! Chucks mom even gave me a ride back to work after dropping off my vehicle! What a great family owned business! read more

Great service. Very honest. I was afraid afraid to bring my car anywhere because of the typical mechanic experience. It's usually a huge expense, and I never feel like I'm getting an honest experience. My friend recommended advance auto repair, I couldn't wait any longer so I brought my car. They saw it right away, got it back to me quickly. It's running great! I couldn't be happier. And it was surprisingly affordable. It's the only place I'll go now read more

So incredibly impressed with the service and helpfulness here! Chuck is great and really went above an beyond to help me! I will use them in the future! If I could give you 10 stars I sure would! Thank you times a million! read more

Chuck is always willing to go above and beyond! He takes the time to explain everything to me in a language I can understand and also prioritizes what repairs and services I need to have performed so I can work them into my budget. I hope to find someone like Chuck where I recently moved to. read more

Advance Auto repair always does a good job and their prices are very reasonable. They also have very good customer service. Our daughter has been going to Chuck for over a year now and he has always done right by her, I highly recommend! read more

I have been using Advance auto for several years, they have become my trusted auto repair shop.

I am sad to have to give a negative review as I've been going to Advance Auto for about 10 years but I want to be honest and speak up. I brought my Kia Sportage in because the car wouldn't start. I called AAA and had it towed in. After they looked at it, they said it had overheated and completely shut down. Although there was no steam or boiling or any signs that it overheated. Since I had been to him before, I trusted his opinion. He also stated that I was over due on getting the timing belt replaced so I authorized the repairs, $1636 later. I picked up my car on Tuesday late after noon, drove it to work and back on Wednesday and then on Thursday I made a stop on the way to work and when I came out to the car it wouldn't start again. So I had it towed back. After he looked it over he stated that it was wrenched up and they were unable to get the engine to turn over, suggesting an internal obstruction. He said I have two options, either scrap the vehicle or put in a new engine, which by the way I have a quote for you of $4300 out the door. I chose to have the vehicle towed back to my house. I had one person look at it and they said that there was a hole in the oil pan and it looked like the damage was from the inside out. That person suggested I call a mobile mechanic who is qualified to give me a second opinion, so I had one come out and he stated the exact same thing. I have since spoken to numerous people that work on cars (not professionally) and they have all stated that they felt it was the timing belt put on wrong. I filed a claim with the BBB and after reviewing the case stated that I should get a refund of $612 for the timing belt. Well, several months goes by and no word from Chuck at Advance Auto. So I filed a small claims suit against him. The "hearing officer" ruled in his favor. He felt that he wasn't responsible for the rod failure. I'm sorry but I really feel that he either (a) misdiagnosed the whole situation to begin with or, (b) that his mechanic installed the timing belt incorrectly. Either way, I will NEVER ever return to this shop and all I can say to you if you consider him, to get a second opinion. I should have done that before dishing out so much money. Hind site. Chuck doesn't care about customer service satisfaction at all. He clearly has written on his receipts that there is a warranty but doesn't honor it. Oh and he does offer "free towing" stated by him, but when you call the number they want $75 up front. I feel like he guessed at what was wrong and I was trusting enough to take him at his word. I feel like I got screwed, either way, whether he was wrong in the original diagnosis or the timing belt truly was installed improperly, we will never know. The whole thing rendered my vehicle useless. read more

There's no shop in Mesa, or in Arizona that I've found like Advanced Auto. The owner and his staff continue to impress me with the care they show to their clients. I've never felt pressured or like I'm being given a line. Anytime I've needed repair, it's always prefaced with a phone call to explain my options. Im so happy I've found a shop with humans I can trust, and I will be referring any friends and family who need a great shop. read more

I totally recommend Advance auto repair, excellent customer service and great prices can't beat that. Chuck is amazing and goes above and beyond... thank you guys read more

My entire Family has been going here for 5 years now. One of my mom's friends from Church recommended we check them out. Chuck own's the place and Adrian is his right hand man, Two grate guys who alway greet you with a smile and remember your name. They're very honest and wont try and up sale you and they just tell it like it is, for better or worse. Yesterday my car started to everheat so I gave them a call and Adrian told me to bring it by so he could take a look, it ended up being a blown fuse for the fan, he replaced the fuse free of charge and sent me on my way, to me it's these little things that keep me coming back. Truly a diamond in the rough! Thanks agin guys. read more

Chuck has been extremely helpful with my vehicle as well as my husband's, he also took great care of my mother after I referred her to them. Nothing but great things to say about these guys! As long as we're in the area, they'll be our go-to! read more
