I'm very particular about where I take my car--after owning it for 10 years, I can be a bit protective over it, but I definitely trust Shane and the work they do at Advanced Autowerks.

The team is professional, knowledgeable, and always honest about what needs to be done. They take the time to explain repairs clearly, which I really appreciate.

If you want reliable auto service that you can trust, Advanced Autowerks is the place to go. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else!

Negligent, Arrogant and Unethical…read more I prefer to put the worst auto shop experience of my life behind me and never look back, but given the negligence, arrogance and unethical behavior I experienced at Cowden Automotive, it's my social responsibility to share. I hired Cowden to do a simple hardtop installation on my truck since it takes 3 people to place top on vehicle, tho rest can be done by one. Day of install, Justin from Cowden called saying the top was "defective" and insisted I go into a legal battle w hardtop company. By an act of god, someone from Texas hardtop company happened to be in California visiting family. I asked rep to visit, Justin rudely fought this, but finally at great inconvenience to rep he came to Cowden. Turns out Cowden installed top without watching clear rudimentary installation video, they didn't remove 2x large parts before installing top, so top didn't fit! Rep re-installed on site at no cost. I shared installation video w Justin 2x via email before install, 1x day of install, plus install day I confirmed with Justin + his dad owner Mike they would follow video instructions. Their only job was to follow simple instructions, they didn't, nor did they have skills to trace steps with video after failed install. Mistakes happen, but there was zero remorse from Justin, zero cost reduction, he was very rude to me, the rep, and had I not caught installation error on video, it's clear he'd have charged for extra time due to shop negligence, plus I'd be out $7K paid for top. I asked him about accountability, he said he doesn't stand by the work done at shop, since he can't oversee everyone. Wow. Hands down, most unethical, negligent and arrogant auto shop I've ever experienced. I wouldn't trust these guys to install windshield wiper blades, much less anything mechanical where safety is concerned. Beware.

Prior to my battery dying, I've been driving around with a super loud exhaust. Not sure what my ex did to it but he removed something to "make it louder". Honestly, it was driving me insane! Come appointment day, they were able to change out my battery and they noticed something rattling and loose in my exhaust so they secured it. It fixed the loud noise! I'm super grateful that they did that without me mentioning anything. Will be going here from now on. Super trustworthy!

Never mind fix anything...just to look at it. Then if you want it fixed well they charge the labor and parts on top of that. I felt much more than nickeled and dimed at the $200 fee. So today I went in with an engine light on, and they wanted now $240 just too look at it. So time to find a new garage. I am starting to feel just ripped off at the fee stucture.

My 2017 Chevy Silverado, with less than 100,000 miles, suddenly started having transmission problems. It went into safe mode, and first and second gear were no longer working properly. Being far from home, I started calling different shops in the area and checking reviews on Yelp. Out of all the places I found, KSH Automotive stood out because of how many positive reviews they had. From the moment I contacted them, they were helpful, professional, and understanding. They took the time to listen to what was going on with my truck and made a stressful situation feel much easier to deal with. I was extremely stressed out because I was traveling with my family in an unfamiliar area, but the team at KSH Automotive made us feel in good hands. Their excellent reviews are certainly well-deserved. They explained the issue to me in a clear manner, and the turnaround time was incredibly fast. They truly care about their customers and appreciate their honesty and customer service. I would highly recommend KSH Automotive to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable automotive shop!!!

So much so that I towed the car from San Carlos to San Francisco. My daughter's Subaru's radiator broke down and the coolant got into the engine. We got 3 different quotes for various outcomes. It ranged from a couple of hundred to 6K. Part of the problem is that we don't know how badly damaged the engine is. I talked to Steven and sent over the other estimate and the diagnosis from our usual auto repair place. He got back to me super quickly and was able to provide a solution which would solve the current problem and give us time to see if the problem will persist. We agreed on a fix and he got it back to us within a few days. I was so very impressed with the thorough, multi-page diagnostic that caught other things like a manufacturer recall. It really does make a difference when your mechanic used to work at the place of your car make! Either way, we will see if the car is fixed or if we need to proceed to a rebuild/new engine. This was such a positive experience and I really appreciate the thoroughness, expectation setting, and expediency in which our car was serviced.
