A trusted friend/auto detailing and ceramic installation expert (who knows good auto body work from bad auto body work) referred me to Isaias Ruperto, Manager of Advanced Automotive. He said that Advanced Automotive's work was superb, and that Advanced Automotive was one of the few auto body shops in the Boston area, that he can safely refer his customers to, and know that Advanced will turn out great work. My trusted friend was right, Advanced Automotive did a fabulous job on our car, and Isaias, Donald, Manuela, and staff were a pleasure to work with. Minus one or two hiccups, Advanced Automotive did a spectacular job. For 25 years, I failed to realize that Advanced Automotive is an auto body shop. Advanced Automotive is a gem. Likely, the best auto body shop in the Metropolitan Boston area. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Just moved from NC to Boston and as a woman I was nervous about finding a fair and reliable repair center. Isaias and the whole staff at Advanced are awesome, quick, and will give you a very fair price. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else in Boston for repairs! read more

Best customer service and quality work anywhere close to Boston and beyond! They are so helpful, friendly and professional. I wish they had more stars to click. Top notch crew! read more

Needed some paint correction a few times on my SUV and some body work on my work van. Isaias always takes care of me whenever im in a pinch and is always super reliable when it comes to both my vehicles. He recently just tinted my windows and it came out great! Thank you to Isaias and the guys at Advanced Automotive for always treating me like family read more

Isiah is an absolute godsend. Him and his team are so well informed and communicative! Very knowledgeable and talented when it comes to repairs. Advanced Automotive, Isaiah and his team all made the experience as painless as possible. Would recommend for any work you need. read more

Very helpful with dealing with the insurance company. My car looks and runs like new which I wasn't sure would be possible after the type of accident. Couldn't be happier with the service! read more

I love this place! My brother sent me here because he has used them before and loved them. Now I see why. My insurance company gave me a hard time and they helped me fight them. They called for a rental to pick me up the day I dropped my car off. They are ALL so friendly and personable. Free detail with all work is an understatement. My head lamps where clowdy and they cleaned them, I had a tear in my driver seat and they fixed it, break dust stuck on my rims and they got it off and the car was sooo clean. Not only that but the work that needed to be done to my car was phenomenal. Really highly recommend these guys! Keep up the good work! read more

Advanced Automotive - Gorgeous work, my front bumper needed to be replaced. Looks fantastic! - Body Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I can't say enough great things about Advanced. They truly went above and beyond to help us with a lousy situation. I was rear-ended. Due to complications with transporting the car from NY to MA, we did not have collision coverage at the time of the accident. We claimed against the at-fault driver's insurance. Seemed ok until the adjuster visited the shop after they had disassembled the body panels to evaluate any body/frame damage. They immediately come back and say the vehicle is totaled. Mind you the decklid was pushed up a little and there was a dent in the bumper but otherwise the 2013 model year vehicle was in good shape. I was shocked to be honest. I suspect that between what they'd get at the Copart or IAAI auctions and the lowball offer they were putting together, they'd turn this loss into a positive. I decided to call Advanced and see what they thought and if I had any options before I talked to the insurance company. From that point forward, things started being better all due to the great work of Advanced. I spoke to Donald who offered to try to have the car untotaled. It took a few days but eventually the vehicle was untotaled and they were able to order parts and start repairs. My Fusion is like new as if that moron looking at his phone never hit me. They even vacuumed the car. When my girlfriend picked it up, they said we were family. I definitely feel they well above and beyond like family. I hope to never be in an accident again but if so, I'm bringing all my vehicles to Advanced. read more

HIGHLY recommend this place . Best shop I've ever went too! The body work on my car was amazing and the paint job was even more than I could ask for . Not to mention the finishing detail and wax when everything was finished . Isaias and everyone else's customer service was impeccable and they made sure I was completely satisfied before I left. I'm in love with my car all over again read more

The owner Donnie was great! He was a pleasure to work with. I recently had my car in Donnie's shop when it was hit head on by another driver. He was very prompt in communicating the damages of my car to me and answering any follow-up questions that I had. When my car was deemed totaled Donnie helped me through the process of getting an honest and fair totaled value through my insurance company. He took over dealing with the insurance company for me in a professional but firm manner when they started giving me the run around. I would highly recommend him. He will give you an honest and fair assessment of your car and you can feel comfortable in his advice and his work. read more

Don and Loraine were amazing at taking car of my car after it needed work. They were so accommodating, efficient, and the entire process was absolutely 100% HASSLE FREE. Had I known about them prior to this year, I would have definitely gone to them for any of my auto work. If you want your car repaired with ease and exceptional service, I highly recommend Advanced Automotive! read more

I could not recommend this place any more than I do now! This post is a bit late - but I am writing now because whenever I see my car, I am reminded of how amazing of a job these guys did. My car came back looking better than it did when I bought it. Advanced Automotive went above and beyond to help me with my insurance issues to save me the time and hassle. I could not thank them enough, and I will for sure be going back! (but hopefully not any time soon ;)) read more

Advanced Auto in East Boston is the only place I will ever bring my car to be repaired. My car was hit while parked a few weeks ago (not at fault therefore huge inconvenience immediately) even though my insurance (Plymouth Rock-horrible insurance) has been paid in full for the year since I've first became a customer with them. My insurance gave Advanced Automotive such a difficult time. My insurance gave me a headache from the beginning as I have a 7 passenger mini van (4 kids 2 of them still in car seats) and they gave me a rental of a compact car 5 passenger that could not even fit my daughters carriage. If I wanted a van like my own, I would have had to pay an additional $15/day while my car was getting fixed. Needless to say, I had to stick with the 5 passenger car due to not having that extra cash. I made the shop aware of this and they were very helpful in letting me know they will have my car to me as it was before the accident as soon as they could. Plymouth rock then made it difficult for Advanced to properly repair my van. My insurance company tried to offer me small amounts of cash to fix what they thought was not worth it, even though I pay for my insurance insurance 1, which covered the damage. Don called me and assured me that taking the small amount of cash would not get the damage fixed and the insurance company just did not want to pay for the repair as it was expensive and it is an older car. Any other company would not even contact me and I would have not known as a female mom not knowing much about cars, I would have accepted the cash knowing I could use it. I was told by Don that I do not have to accept their cash offer, although the insurance made it seem like I had no choice but to accept. They even told me that they could have the shop "try to clean up the glass" that was broken, and I could go and see if it's ok for me-which means I would have to leave to work to "look" at what should just be covered. Don made it clear that I should not have to do this and he is there to make sure the insurance companies do not do this to people. I appreciate the extra time that Don took to inform me of this and Advanced Automotive fixed my car. I could not tell it was in an accident at all. They even had took care of returning the rental for me, so I was able to just pick up my van which they knew was important to me having kids to pick up after work. This is exactly what we pay insurance for and I am grateful I found this shop. Thank you Don and the rest of the team. Keep doing what your doing and I truly appreciate what you did for me. I will be sending ALL friends and family your way! Cassandra read more

I recently brought my car to Advanced Automotive in East Boston on the recommendation of two friends after I posted on Facebook looking for autobody recommendations. I can say with no hesitation that this was the best experience I have ever had dealing with car repairs. Ever. Don Smoot was fantastic to work with, very friendly, and most important to me- honest. He presented me with all my options up front, including pricing and timeline for each, and helped me select the one that was really the best for me. No pushy sales BS, he was always fair and to the point. When I brought my car in to have the work done, I found the rest of his team to be just as great to work with as he was, especially Lorraine at the front desk. I dropped my car off and hopped on the train to work, and I was barely settled into the office when they called to let me know my car was already finished. End result is my car came book looking fantastic and I now found a place I feel confident in returning to when I need auto work done in the future. I was very impressed with their speed, the quality of the work, and competitive pricing. I would HIGHLY recommend them, FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Thank you Don & Advanced Automotive team!! read more

A few months ago I purchased a used Mercedes in excellent condition. I live in the inner city of Boston and was horrified one morning to find my car had been side swiped during the night. A friend recommended that I take my car to Advanced Automotive. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by Isiah and staff. The customer service was exceptional! By the time I was done my rent-a-car was waiting outside and I felt confident leaving my car with them. They kept me informed through each step of the process to ease my mind. When I arrived to pick up my car I could not believe the quality of work! My 2011 Mercedes was in showroom condition and the staff at advanced automotive obviously paid attention to detail! I'm not one to post reviews but I had to sign up for yelp just to show my appreciation! Thank you Isiah and advanced automotive! read more
