As a woman who has owned a lot of old cars over my lifetime I have had more than my fair of dealing…read morewith mechanics who try to take advantage of me. Advanced Automotives is not a big shop. It doesn't offer a big waiting room with nice amenities or free coffee. It isn't fancy or impressive to look at but it is owned by a guy who is an old school grease monkey who loves cars, trucks and tools. Kevin clearly loves what he does and takes pride in it. He has become a family friend and he has a loyal local following because he is the real deal. He knows his stuff and will happily answer your questions. If he doesn't handle what you need done he knows just who you need to see. A referral from Kevin to another business is solid. He has never steered us wrong. I advise making an appointment because Kevin is one very busy guy.

Mechanics are like a lottery, you pays your money and you takes your chances! Well, Advanced Auto…read moreis a safe bet. Kevin is a guy who makes his living fixing cars. No gas, no bodega, just a mechanic. He'll fix what's wrong and stand behind his work without nickle and diming you to death. On a number of occasions I've brought one of my cars in thinking it was something major only to have it be something minor, easily fixed and costing $10 or sometimes nothing at all. He'll tell you if it something he's not equipped to handle and recommend somebody who is. You really can't ask for more in a mechanic!

From the level of care, craftsmanship of work and repairs, and the level of detailing done on the car after being worked on. A must go if you have an older classic car or even newer. It's difficult to find a specialty shop you can trust but here you do not need to look any further as you will be in great hands.

I dropped the car off the day before, and Bob came out of his office to say hello and go over the issue with me. The next day, Bill, the mechanic, called to discuss the A/C problem and keep me updated. The service was excellent from start to finish. My A/C is now working great with absolutely no issues. I really appreciate the professionalism, communication, and customer service from the entire team. Highly recommended!

They never make me feel dumb for asking questions, they walk me through what needs to be done as well as what it'll cost and they never pressure me to do more than what is needed at the time. I took my car to Pepboys once on a weekend because Five Star was closed when I noticed an issue & boy was that a mistake. Pepboys charged me for a repair that didn't even fix the problem BUT when I took it to Five Star the following Monday, they were able to find the actual problem & didn't charge me an arm and a leg for it. My only complaint could be about the lack of weekend hours, but honestly, I get it. We all need to rest at some point. I should note, however, that they do have an overnight key drop which is convenient for when I work earlier than they open the next day.

Absolutely deplorable and nasty attitude, I walked right out and didn't even get my service done, I would rather a better company get my money. I don't recommend this place whatsoever definitely save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

So I took my car in (2016 BMW X1) with a transmission warning light. This is after two other mechanics had already looked at it. Dave called me with a recall notice on the shifter. When I went to pick it up he gave me the print out and wouldn't take any money for the Diagnostics he did! And it was just in time because the recall was expiring in May. Honest and knowledgeable. I don't think there are two more important qualities in a mechanic. I will be taking my car back for everything it needs and will recommend him to everybody. Thank you.

Even worse, I had to bring the car back two more times because new issues kept coming up after the initial work. Each visit meant taking time off work and being without a car, which was very stressful. After spending so much time and still not having the problem fixed, I now have to find another shop to get things done right. My car is not old so these occurring issues seemed to start after their work on my car began. I had asked if there was anything else they could do to help with this inconvenience, but they were not willing to work with me.
