I was assured it would be fine, but I ended up leaving with fresh damage on multiple areas of the wheel. Two huge gashes on one rim and damage the entire outer edge on other. What made the experience worse was the way it was handled afterward. At first the staff admitted the machine likely caused the damage, but after talking among themselves they suddenly changed the story and claimed they weren't sure what caused it because they "didn't have before pictures." Instead of actually helping resolve the issue, I was given a phone number to call. I've spent the entire week calling, leaving voicemails, and sending texts with no response from anyone. Mistakes can happen, but avoiding responsibility and ignoring customers afterward is unacceptable.

Recently had to get a new battery thanks to the extreme cold. We live in MA and were traveling to Warrenton to attend a wedding. I called ahead to say what I needed, and the person (Tom) was extremely helpful and polite. He didn't treat me as some stupid woman, as many places do. I arrived with the car just as they were closing up, but they unlocked the door for me so I could give them information and my keys to leave the car. Tom and Gary were so friendly and helpful that it took the sting out of the extremely cold weather and the trouble of a new battery. The next day they called to inform me my oil was extremely low, which was very helpful. The car was ready as promised, and we were thrilled we had the car to return home on Sunday. Thank you, guys! read more

What amazing service. I made an appointment to have a trailer inspection completed at RCS Trucking. Never again.... I waited an hour then they pulled another person in front of me. I gave up and left them... Guess my business didn't matter to them. Advanced Automotive will now have all my business. I called and drove there within 10 minutes. My trailer was inspected within 15 and I was out the door. What amazed me was they took the time and repaired a license plate light by installing a new gasket and didn't charge me for it. Very uncommon right? Wrong, they care and show it more than ever. All of the staff is very friendly and knows what they are doing. Highly recommend you give them a chance at your business. You probably will be amazed as I am. read more

I can't say enough good things about this auto repair shop! I've been bringing my car here for years because they're honest, attentive, and always take the time to explain things in a way that makes sense. Today, both of my adult children had issues with their cars. Rob and Kevin at the front desk were amazing as always--they got them both in for appointments right away and made sure everything was handled smoothly. The whole team is top-notch. The mechanics, especially Ralph and Brian, are incredibly skilled and trustworthy. They assessed the problems and gave clear, honest advice on the best way to move forward. I truly don't trust anyone else with our vehicles. This place goes above and beyond every single time. Highly recommend! read more

I brought my Explorer in today because my brakes were squeaking a bit and based on mileage, assumed it might be time to replace them. I also needed an inspection this month, so obviously I wanted to them replaced prior to the inspection. During the inspection, the mechanic told me my pads were fine and that he thought they had another 30-40% life left before needing to be replaced. There were several folks in the lobby that witnessed the mechanics honesty and everyone was shocked, as this seems to be a rarity in the world today. He could have easily just replaced the pads and charged me accordingly, even though it wasn't needed. Thank you all for your honesty and we will definitely recommend others to your shop!

Had the motor replaced in my F150 at their Chantilly location. I was very impressed with the quality of work and how quick the turn around was (a week and a few days). Now I'm getting some routine maintenance completed before they get busy. So glad I did. Well they are worth the time, with very knowledgeable staff and mechanics, their pricing is very fair and the most important part is they warranty the work that they do.

Headline: Tax Evasion Tactics and Dishonest Pricing - Avoid This Shop!…read moreI had a very disappointing experience at this shop. They use classic bait-and-switch tactics to avoid taxes and overcharge customers. Initially, they quoted me a ridiculous $930 for labor on my Lexus ES350, then offered to "lower" it to $790 only if I paid in CASH. This is clearly a tactic to avoid taxes while still charging premium rates. I provided all my own parts (spark plugs and two catalytic converters). Even though they only installed ONE of the two converters, they still forced me to pay the full "cash price" we had discussed for the entire job. When I asked about the second converter--which is a simple 30-minute job in the front of the engine--the mechanic tried to extort another $350 from me! To make it worse, the mechanic lied to my face about the technical difficulty of the job to justify his price hiking, claiming the rear catalyst is easier to access than the front one (a blatant lie to anyone who knows Lexus engines). These people are not honest mechanics; they are predators looking for cash-heavy transactions. The shop is empty for a reason. Check the other reviews--I'm not the only one they've tried to scam. Do yourself a favor and go to a professional shop that accepts cards and provides honest estimates.
