This was an extremely upsetting experience. The company actively patrols the neighborhood looking…read moreto tow vehicles, and it feels more predatory than protective of the community. As a college student, the situation felt especially overwhelming and financially stressful. What made it worse was the demand for cash-only payment to release the vehicle. Being put in a position where your car is essentially held until immediate cash is produced feels unfair and exploitative. There was no sense of understanding or professionalism -- just a transaction that felt designed to pressure people at their most vulnerable moment. Today's experience completely changed how I view this company and similar companies, and I won't forget how this was handled. Turning people into villains. Just watch.

My car was hit in the front drivers side by someone backing up. I brought it to Advanced Automotive for its repairs. Not only was the customer service amazing but the work done on my vehicle was also extremely well done. I was pleased with how well the team handled everything involving the repairs & facilitating a smooth transaction with the rental. I would recommend Advanced to anyone looking for a job well done on their vehicle! read more

Absolutely seamless experience. I was sideswiped, causing damage to the driver's side of my car. Advanced handled everything directly with the at-fault driver's insurance from beginning to end, including my rental car. Just got the car back and it's looking showroom new, completely detailed inside and out. Isaias and Maria could not have been nicer or more communicative throughout the whole process. read more

I took the car to Mike's Auto Body, since they were good to me when I went to them 10 years ago. Mike was very personable then. I dread going through the process of getting quotes etc. knowing that the price and time would be an inconvenience to my busy work schedule. I drove my car in, hoping they'd give me a quick estimate at best and an appointment for (an estimate) another time at worst. Eric came straight out, looked over what needed to be done (I also asked for some scratches to be buffed out) and gave me an estimate of time and price. The guys took my trim off whilst I waited, then I left to return a couple of weeks later to have the license plate and trim reattached, as well as scratches buffed out. Some of the scratches were pretty bad, but the staff warned me not to expect them to be perfectly removed, which was what I'd already suspected. For the price, they did a great job. Often times, I expect to be denigrated in one way or another (it's just my experience in life) when I seek service for my car, renovations to my house, etc... however, the staff at Mike's Auto Body have always been respectful toward me. Mike gave me the confidence to go back this time, so I assume the professional and respectful behaviour comes from the top down. I truly won't go anywhere else. The price, though excellent, was secondary to the professionalism and respect the staff show me.
