I really recommend this place! The owner Nick is sooo professional, as well as Ara an unbelievable mechanic with sooo many skills, so quick! He knows what he is doing and can work on German or American cars. They are all very honest!!! They will accommodate. read more

The staff was friendly and the repair was done properly. The pricing was reasonable, and they took the time to explain the work that was needed. The only reason for 3 stars is that the service took a bit longer than expected, but overall it was a decent experience. read more

This place operates on guessing, not diagnostics. Advanced Auto Care failed to properly diagnose my vehicle and instead provided incorrect and misleading information without running a thorough diagnostic check. There was no evidence-based explanation -- just assumptions presented as facts. The result was a complete misdiagnosis that cost me time and money. I left feeling lied to and taken advantage of. A professional repair shop should rely on diagnostic data, not guesswork. After this experience, I find it hard to believe the overwhelmingly positive reviews. They do not align with the level of service, honesty, or competence I personally experienced. I would not trust this shop again and do not recommend it to anyone looking for ethical or professional auto care. read more

Fixed a 4 month long issue I had with my brakes from another shop's dishonest and poor work. Thank you!!

Best place in Glendale! They always find time to fix your car even in the late afternoon. read more

I visited this shop for the first time and was very happy with the service and the price. Greg and the mechanic explained everything to me before doing the work on my car. I will definitely be going back when my car needs work done. Highly recommend this place! read more

I really cannot say enough amazing things about this auto care shop. I had a terrible smell in my car, and I called Nick and he told me to come right in. Even though they were busy, he personally helped me and almost immediately found a dead rats (so gross- I know) under an exterior plastic piece of my model X. His team took it out, cleaned it out, and wouldn't even accept money. I will never go anywhere else! What incredible service, care and value. I'm extraordinarily grateful. Really feels like the kind of place you imagine only existing in a bygone era. read more

I am very happy with the price and services. Nick help me to identified the problem, fixed it and gave me good advices. Highly recommend this place! read more

I came to get a quote for my Civic SI and I could tell this place will over charge you to have your vehicle fix for example just a oil change for $60 if you bring your own oil and filter also they never called me to get a quote to get my shocks replaced because they knew that I was aware of what a fair price should be when getting a certain type of repair for you vehicle. If you decide to visit this place make sure you do your homework before giving this business the green light to fix your car if you don't want to get ripped off. read more

I had a great experience with Advanced Auto Care. They were quick to fit me in, professional, responsive, and had fair pricing.

Had my check engine light turn on in the middle of a busy holiday weekend, after looking online I found Advanced Auto on Wilson and the reviews seemed good enough and wow let me just say the service was nothing short of incredible! Of course I thought the worst and figured this would set me back a good amount but Nick and his team were extremely professional and honest. I cant emphasize the world honest enough as it hadn't dawned on me that I may need an oil change even though I changed it in the summer I had driven quite a bit to SF, SB, San Diego and so forth...Nick and his guys could have easily added on a few extra things such as my cam shaft sensor and anything else that may have needed fixing and I wouldn't have been none the wiser and gladly have paid, but no the guy was honest, timely and transparent. Hard to find these days in any line of work let alone mechanic shops, will be referring friends and family here over anywhere else especially those price gauging dealership service centers. Thank you again to Nick and everyone at Advanced Auto, I rarely write reviews but this experience was worth sharing! read more

Superb and honest shop. They replaced a signal light bulb in my Acura when I dropped by without an appointment. Greg was very responsive when we communicated read more

Took in my 2017 Lexus RX450H for some electrical work due to squirrels getting to the engine and chewing the wires connecting to the ignition coil connector #6. Before having Ara work on the car, I reached out to both another repair shop and Glendale Lexus and got very confusing responses. The dealership wanted to change the entire wires system for an estimated cost of $2500. The other local repair shop wanted to inspect it and get the insurance involvement. However, when I ran the ODB2 scanner and it only reported an issue with the P0356. So I ended up giving my business to AAS and was very happy with the quality, responsiveness, and value. If you're local to the Glendale and the surrounding area, I highly recommended this establishment. read more

Will try to squeeze every cent they can get. Save your time look somewhere else. Always look up average price for any car repair then compare to what they will say if you ask them... you will be surprised read more

This place is great! My check engine light came on and Ara was so helpful and checked my car for free and was so helpful with the repairs. Highly recommend! read more

I'm an Uber eats driver, so it's really important to have my tire fixed... I had a flat on my BMW x2 I called around Glendale. Every place was packed or couldn't handle me until end of the weekend. This place had a line of vehicles, but they told me in advance. It was going to be a little bit of a wait They fix my tire and they are beyond helpful! Art and his team are super friendly and will take care of you. I definitely recommend this place! And I will be coming back here for future issues! read more

"Ara" forgive me if misspelling the name, is very kind and helpful, with a smile always, good service and work and charged me with very affordable price for coolant, and showed me a little technique on refilling it myself. Definitely recommend! read more

Not sure how these guys have 5 stars... I took my car here with a bad alternator and they put in a brand new denso and that one broke in like a month. Then they installed the new one under warranty and charged me for the labor a second time. They also took apart my whole dash board to figure out the ac problem and fixed nothing also charging me the labor. I was still having problems with the alternator and went back to my original mechanic who found the had install incorrectly and stripped a main bolt on the second new alternator. My original and much more honest mechanic helped me get another alternator installed properly and fix my ac by putting the proper amount of ac fluid in. Advanced auto just overloaded the fluid in my ac, it needed no fixing or taking apart my whole dashboard. My car runs great now no thanks to these guys. This was over a year ago but I came across them again on yelp and couldn't understand how they have 5 stars. read more

currently writing a review as I wait. All of a sudden my car started producing a sulfur smell and I thought it could've been my brakes or the catalytic converter so I called the shop in a pinch and they answered my phone call, told me to come in in an hour, and instantly I was helped and I'm still able to make it on time for work. I'll definitely be coming up here now for my car needs. I had an appointment with the dealer on Tuesday but it's honestly too dangerous driving around with a tainted battery and i'm hapoy they were able to help. I highly recommend!! read more

Firstly, Nick, the owner, is an awesome person. Not only did he save my hundreds of dollars from a misdiagnosis, but he was kind enough to help me out of a crap situation. I was told that my started needed to be replaced: I had just found a new job from having lost work due to the pandemic so time, money and resources were tight. My car was having trouble starting before my shift so I was calling around auto repair shops trying to get quotes and info, Nick's was the 3rd on the list. I ask him to quote the labor and parts, always with German cars there's specific detailed parts that are MORE expensive! So I have to call the dealership to find out the specs, call Nick back for an accurate quote. I give him my sob story and ask him if I can pay for the work in installments and then he has the right idea to ask how sure I am that I need a need starter. Some guy working at O'Riley's told me I need it after checking my car. So he just tells me to just stop by and he'll check it out before he starts ordering parts. Thankfully I get my car to start, he checks it out FOR FREE, then tells me to turn it on- doesn't even need to look under the hood! He just listened to it, this man KNOWS his shit! He tells me I just need a new battery. Replaces it and give me the BEST DEAL. Nick is an awesome business owner and an awesome human. Thank you, Nick! #supportlocalbusinesses read more

Nick is upfront in quoting you the repair cost. He does it with honesty and surprises you when at the end of the work the cost is lower, he will charge you cheaper despite agreed price. He is unlike other shop owners who take advantage of you if you appear or sound ignorant about cars. He is easy to talk to, even gives you a ride if you need one, like I did. Thanks Nick. Your shop is highly recommended. - Mary read more

These guys are legit, man. I needed new wheel studs installed. I could've done it myself but one of the bolts on the calipers wasn't moving and I couldn't remove it. I called around Glendale from America's Tire to multiple auto shops and was surprised they didn't do wheel stud replacement. Then I called Advanced Auto Care and spoke to Nick. He said,"bring it in." I had a good feeling about this shop because Nick had a no nonsense attitude and seemed like a legit guy. Brought it in and I told them what I needed and that I'll be back. Nick replied,"No stick around, it will be quick." Even with 2 cars already being worked on in their docks, he had one of his guys take care of my car right away. In about an hour, my car was ready. I was impressed. I thought for sure it would take longer being that 15 out of my 20 wheel studs needed to be replaced. I'm very happy I found this shop. If I run into a car problem that I cant DIY, I'm going to these guys. Thanks, Nick and crew! read more

I always dread taking cars in for service at a new shop. Found Advanced Auto Care in Glendale thru YELP. Called in and spoke with Nick. He gave me a very competitive quote for a routine oil &filter change and offered to do the work immediately. So an hour later, I delivered my Mazda CX-5 to the shop where Nick greeted me, spec'd the recommended oil then got the job going. After a walk for 45 minutes while the work was completed, I returned, paid and went on my way. Great service, recommend this shop! read more

Advanced Auto Care - The shop in action. - Auto Repair Near Me - Glendale, California

I had to take my mother-in-law's 2002 toyota in for a smog test i knew would fail. They gave me the error code and i was skeptical at first because I have mechanic trust issues, however they were 100% correct. The gave me a great price to repair valve on the gas tank. They even went out of their way to prep the car for the test and as expected it passed. I can't stress enough how good these guys are. Thank you guys for great and fast service. I now have a go to place for smog and repairs. read more

Advanced Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Glendale, California

I love this place and if you ask me why I'll tell you because they are honest and don't just try to rip you off like most mechanics. I went there and was quickly greeted by a man named Ara. He not only helped me right away he also gave his honest opinion. He didn't lie to me and told me exactly what the issue was with the car and if I really needed to have a part changed. It's because of his sincere honesty and not trying to rip me off that will have me going to this place for all my auto repairs. Also their prices are so much better than other shops. Definitely recommend this place! Thanks Ara. read more

These guys have helped me out with two issues on my Tacoma. A bad hub bearing and a simple pad and rotor swap. In both cases, they were fast. responsive, and easy to work with. I like that the first time I was given an estimate, it was an actual itemized written estimate, with taxes and everything. They do their best to make sure there are no surprises. It was also nice to be able to communicate over text. It was less stressful than having to make decisions while on a phone call. I'd definitely come back. read more

Messaged them through Yelp here and the owner replied to me quickly. I was able to make an appointment shortly after for same day service of an oil change. Nick and the crew were professional. Nick was very nice and I'll definitely come back for their service. Side Note: I accidentally walked into a different auto shop thinking it was the one, but apparently there are two auto shops in the same plaza. Make sure to look for the one called "Advanced Auto Care". read more
