I purchased an industrial air filter cleaning business (Phoenix Filter) in North County San Diego. The equipment was in serious need of rehabilitation, so I reached out to California Air Compressor (an FS Curtis company) to have the air compressor, a Curtis R/S 30 rotary screw compressor, inspected as it was continually blowing the 100A breakers in the unit. Their tech said the compressor was in good condition but needed a new motor. I proceeded with the purchase and moved the equipment to my facility. I decided to get a second opinion after playing phone tag for the motor replacement with CAC and called Advanced Air & Vacuum who came highly recommended by others in the manufacturing community. I spoke to Joseph and he had Jose on site the next day and used his Megohmeter to confirm that the motor was in fact good and that the previous facility did not have a large enough breaker serving the compressor. He recommended a 200A disconnect with 125A fuses which I installed then Joeseph walked me through some diagnostics with my Multimeter before firing the unit up. It has been running perfect for a few months now. Jose also gave some advice on my plumbing, dryer and storage tanks to maximize my CFM. Those changes were also made with a drastic improvement in sustained PSI and CFM at my cleaning equipment. I am technically not even a customer yet but I cannot recommend both Joseph and Joses expertise enough. They will certainly be my go to as soon as my next compressor issues or facility upgrades arise. Thanks guys! read more

I rarely write reviews-scratch that... I never write reviews but I was in the store last week with my 2 broken down compressors and was thankful to come across Michael Callahan and Advanced Air and Vacuum! I wasn't sure what to expect and if I was going to find what I needed. I was making my own tandem compressor with the 20 gallon tanks taking the good parts from the both. Once I informed Michael that I had brought the tanks with me he came right out to my truck. We brain stormed and cruised right through it! They had everything I needed and some! Michael came out with the exact one way valve for my 30 year old compressor, fittings and hose that I needed! The end result looks professional, works great and better than I expected! read more

From start to finish, I couldn't have imagined a better experience. Right from the start, my call was returned within minutes by Rene Lopez. He set up an appointment to assess the leak issue with my 4 post automotive lift. He provided estimates for 2 different options, removed the ram for service, estimated turnaround a week. Rene was back to reinstall within 2 days. Rene and his crew worked quickly, efficiently, cleaned up and tested all functions afterward, including wiping down the entire lift, pump, etc. Would highly recommend their services to anyone. Provided itemized invoice. Thanks again to the entire crew. read more

My father and I pulled into the Marshall Ave store looking for help with our old air compressor. We quickly ran into Robert who nicely directed us to where the parts and service area had moved to. He then went over and looked at the compressor and gave us up front info on what labor charges were. Our issue was a bolt had sheared off and we were unable to remove it in order to connect a filter. He then gave us great advice on the water and oil filter we were hoping to connect, such as its considerable weight and whether we might want to use the handle to support it. My father declined his offer to see if the shop could remove the sheared off bolt without too much trouble. He was thinking the labor cost would be more than the machine was worth. After conferring with my father, I again approached Robert who was just as pleasant as a moment ago. He explained he would have the shop try to extract the bolt gratis. A few minutes later Robert returned with the compressor now free of the shorn bolt. We were so impressed with his knowledge, friendliness and the time and courtesy he showed us. I will tell all my friends to come here for there air compressor, vacuum, or fluid pump needs. Outstanding experience and a family company to boot. read more

Advanced Air & Vacuum has stuck by our company through thick and thin times and provide impeccable service whether its fabrication or installation. Specialty items if they don't have it in stock they can get it in record time, AA&V helped us install a complex valve in a nitrogen system that i know wasn't a easy task, I highly recommended AA&V because you can count on them to get the job done. read more

I went to Advanced Air looking for a small portable compressor for off-roading. Michael behind the counter was very helpful. Not only did they have a perfect compressor for my needs, but they also have every type of connector you can think of. Great service, I'll be back when I need to replace my home compressor. read more

Drove to their El Cajon office and met Mr. Robert Parker. I informed him that I would like to purchase a compressor for my facility in Santee. Also, requested a quote for the complete installation of the compressor I intended to purchase from their firm. Obviously, they do not need further business because I scheduled to meet Mr. Parker at my facility 1100hrs and he never showed. Not even a courtesy call to tell me he would be unable to meet me. The only good that came out of my attempted purchase with this firm was when Mr. Parker answered his cell phone and explained with 4 successive excuses why he does not make appointments. If they cannot make appointments or at least follow up with a return phone call to a potential client then I recommend that anyone avoid this company. read more

We found this company to have unbelievably great service! Our company brought in an old air compressor that had a bunch of broken parts and they were able to fix it! They were completely thorough in their work and they have our business for life! read more

A service tech came out and he was very rude right off the bat (I did nothing to provoke him). They seemed disorganized and didn't know exactly what needed to be done, so he called one of his co-workers or boss to ask about what work needs to be done (it was on speaker) and his co-worker or boss said that he didn't know exactly what needed to be done either and that he hopes we pay, because they don't do a lot of work for us (this is true, about not doing a lot of work for us, but we have always paid right away). We are a multi billion dollar company with impeccable accounting. I won't fault them too much for that, but the rudeness can't be overlooked. The service tech wasn't only rude to me, but he was also rude to one of my co-workers as well, who is always extremely nice to everyone. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We used AA&V to install a compressor and numerous air line drops in our classic car facility. Can't say enough for the customer service or follow up. Not sure what the prior reviewer was talking about - the work completed by AA&V was on time, on budget, and impeccably done. Would call them back in a heartbeat for any future needs. read more

I was in a few weeks ago looking for a gauge for my compressor when I was greeted by Greg training Katie at the time of my visit. I was impressed with the customer service and katie took good care of me as she wrote up my final ticket. Greg is a good trainer. I will definitely keep going to them for all my shop needs with excellent customer service like they have. Good job guys and keep up the great work. read more
