I've been waiting for my truck since 4 or 5 months and they still say they are going to fix it, but they never do. I don't recommend this place if you need a vehicle fixed in under a month. read more

Amazing place. They helped me tremendously. I love these guys and would recommend them to anyone

On a road trip/move from Calif Bay Area to Fla, broke down early am just east of Kingman. AAA towed us to Advanced. Within 2-3 hrs had the vehicle on lift and transmission torn apart. Diagnosed, parts ordered, by the following day transmission was rebuilt and we were back on the Rd by 1:30 pm. Truly amazing. Thank you Bob and staff read more

These are the worst scams artists i have ever meet. 3,300 dollors later and my engine now pumps out oil like there's no tomorrow. And they never rebuilt my transmission. They ripped me off for 3,300 dollars and I had to call the police e on bob after I paid to get my car out. Plus bob stole my phone. You can see the video on youtube titled advance transmission bob the phone theif. read more

Take all the negative reviews about this shop seriously! I didn't, and I paid the price. Bob gave me the ole song and dance about being the traveler's friend and taking care of you. Well, he took me alright! He completely took advantage of me being on the road and not having many options. First, he charged me $6000 to rebuild the transmission in my Suburban and would not release the vehicle without paying the bill. Then, when it started acting up on my way to Texas, he said he would do the right thing and help me out with a shop in Texas once I arrived. I took the vehicle to the shop he recommended. There, it was discovered Advanced had failed to install second gear properly, which explains the heavy hard shifting all the way home. Bob then went into hiding and wouldn't return my calls. When Bob was finally contacted and given that info, he refused to help out to get it fixed and wanted me to bring the vehicle 1100 miles back to his shop in Kingman, AZ. No Thanks! There are other shops in town, avoid this one at all costs! read more

Advanced Transmission replaced our 2002 Dodge truck starter. Did not hear from the for over a week, so we tried calling. Could not get threw because the receptionist transferred calls to her phone and was not answering nor could you leave a message. We live out of town, so we drove in to check on truck. Every out to lunch so we left message to call use. Received a call and it was from Donald Trump [a family joke] to see if we wanted to replace the starter. The truck was ready the next day. Picking up the truck the bill was $791.56. $619.20 for starter, 105.92 labor with tax's and etc. I questioned the price of the starter and was told it was a new one from NAPA #4N6428. Paid bill with cash, as to use card it would of been another @20.00 for bill amount. No personal checks, cashier checks excepted. After returning home i called NAPN for price check. Starter cost $192.99 with out tax's. Called to talk to owner. He returned call apologized for wrong price, leading use to believe we would get refund of $433.94. after arriving there, the $433.94 was the price of starter.The 100% mark up was for warranty. {starter is warranted from NAPA} I guess warranty is for the to replace it {labor} if it go's out. Wonder if it never go's out? Where is that $200.00 ? We have spent $1000's at this shop and always happy with work, but high prices.wondering if this was why? We always recommend it to every one. As we will never recommend again and never take our vehicles there again. BUYER BE WARE! CHECK YOUR PRICES! read more

My transmission went out and these had it fixed in a week. Super thankful they were understanding that a family of four was down to one vehicle and can be extremely difficult. read more

My elderly parents came through Kingman in their RV on their way to visit grandkids. Their transmission went out and was repaired by Advanced Transmission. There as delays in parts and costs of hotels and rental cars. The repair lasted less than 1500 miles before it had to be rebuilt entirely. After initially stating they would pay a portion of the repair, advanced transmission is no longer answering phone calls. Even after settling on an amount far less than their cost this shop won't even honor this. The new repair shop stated the repairs we just enough to get them out of town. We will be taking other means to pursue the repair costs but would not recommend this place if you want to avoid headaches. read more

Would not recommend this auto shop I brought my car in there they said they fixed the stuff that was wrong but after I pulled it out of there a lot of other things were going on with my car they fixed a bunch of stuff without letting me know that they were going to fix it so then I owed money and the problem wasn't even fixed my friend took her car in there and the stereo system was stolen out of it while in their possession and they refuse to replace not a trustworthy business read more

DO NOT take your car to this shop! It is a very dirty shop and they are a rip-off outfit. Took my car in for a what I thought was a transmission leak. The owner, Robert Wurm, said it was a valve cover gasket/engine leak. Charged $102.97 and for an oil pan gasket at $116.83. Total bill ended up at $866.13. When I picked up the car, he said to bring it back in a couple of days to check the seal to make sure it is not leaking. Brought it back after a week because I did notice oil on my garage floor. Now he tells me the oil pan is leaking which I thought he fixed in the first place!!! The leak which I thought he fixed, is now worse than ever. I don't know how this shop is still in business. read more

They have had my transmission for 2 weeks...I went to them because of the free diagnostic they offer. Come to find out, the completely took apart the transmission and are now telling me I have to pay them to get it put back together. So, I will probably never see my transmission again read more

Do not do business with these guys, they are dishonest. I'm new to Kingman and took a car in for diagnostic, they fixed it without even calling me. Then two days later the car started doing the same thing. I took matters into my own hands and found a bare wire in the harness and fixed the problem myself. They had charged me $142 for a part that I had just replaced two days earlier for $8. After asking a co- worker who grew up in Kingman about this place afterwards, he told me that he was ripped off by them as well and wouldn't recommend them read more

Wow (in a good way!) On our to Michigan in our RV we noticed fluid leaking from under the vehicle. A nice guy in the Walmart parking lot suggested we immediately head over to advanced. We had no idea what we were going to find and this was an unexpected expense. But we were pleasantly surprised when immediately the nice guy from Minnesota helped us and set our mind at ease. They did a quick fix and sent us on our way. We so appreciate your help!!!! If you want an honest transmission opinion -- go here. :) read more

I had a transmission leak, Advanced Transmission gave me an estimate, I said I would have to pay with credit card and scheduled the appointment a couple days later. Dropped my truck off at 8am as directed, was told it would take 5 hours. I called them at 12:30, they didn't start it yet. The manager called me at 2:30 pm said they found the leak. I told them "You found the leak days ago when I first brought it to the shop." I asked "when is it going to be done?" He said "It's going to take about 5 hours." I told him "I have a ride to get there...is it going be 6pm? 7pm?" The guy said "I'll call you when it was done, and by the way, bring cash because the card reader hasn't been working since last week." I told him "I don't have cash and we agreed on credit card payment." He replied "Bring cash or I won't release your vehicle." The manager called at 4pm said the truck was done. It takes almost and hour to get there. I showed up at 5pm closing and the manager was locking up. I said "I came to get my truck." he unlocked the door and we went into the shop. he said "Did you bring the cash?" I said "I brought my credit card like we agreed." He said "I'm not releasing the truck without the cash." I said "OK, wait a minute," and I stepped outside and called the police. They arrived very quickly and the manger asked me for my credit card, ran it through the machine, and gave me my receipt. The credit card machine DID work! The manager told me it would take 5 hours. Did it actually take only 2 hours? On the shop receipt, my truck was signed in at 5:08 pm and signed out at 5:09 pm. It was never logged in for work! Did they even work on my truck at all? I put paper under my truck to see if it still leaks. My mom and sister ( who gave me a ride there) were witnesses to this whole event. Beware of these people. Something fishy going on there. read more

Took car in for motor mount and transmission leak, motor mount was replaced after a week in service. The transmission leak was never repaired , was told by the owner BOB I did not have a leak even tho I could see the leak and told BOB where it was leaking from. Bob said when I brought it in that he could see transmission fluid all over the pan rail and around the seal, he explained that he put a dye in the transmission and used a UV light and no leak was present. I brought the car home after almost three weeks and the fluid was all over the output shaft of the transmission which I could see easy without any light, he explained he does not have time to drive the car to find out when and how it was leaking. I WOULD NOT DO BUSINESS with this company, also they don't do work in order that it is taken in, they stick your car in the back and take in other work after you are allready there and waiting read more
