If you're looking for a family owned, transparent, honest and fair priced auto mechanic who…read morespecializes in cooling systems, you've found it. I found this place by chance while on a trip last summer from the Bay Area to Oceanside to visit family who live nearby. My truck had been overheating over the Grapevine and through LA on the drive down, and I brought it into S&S to take a look. Despite the fact that they appeared to be very busy, they sympathized with the fact that I was leaving town in 2 days, and quickly diagnosed and repaired my truck in an expert manner. Robert took the time to answer all of my questions, and even gave me different options for solutions at different price points. I chose to have my radiator and hoses replaced, and it was done in one afternoon with no problems thereafter. More importantly, he got my truck back in condition to get my family and me back home safely. Seven months later, on Spring break with my kids, I had an unrelated issue with my truck (it's old!), driving down to SoCal with the family. Remembering how good their service was at S&S, I returned to see if they could help. Once again, I was warmly greeted by Cheryl behind the front desk, was given options from Robert, quickly serviced in one day, and made it home again safely. I should mention that the "Leak Stop" they installed did not actually work, and my engine overheated 275 miles out of town on my way home, on the shoulder of Interstate 5 at 1:00 in the morning. I added a few gallons of anti-freeze, made it home, and ended up having to replace my engine entirely. But because they had explained that possibility, I do not hold them responsible. It was a band aid on a bigger problem, and I chose to go with it. I suppose they could have offered me a partial refund when I told them about what happened, but that's their prerogative. It wasn't their fault. And that fact that I am still willing to give them a 5 star recommendation after so much trouble should speak highly to anyone looking for referrals to this business. As a small business owner myself, I hope to achieve the same level of expertise they have here in making customers feel like they are getting great service for a fair price, without any feeling of regret afterward. Well done, S&S Advance Auto Repair.

I would not recommend this mechanic to anyone. I went in for a simple oil change, and shortly after…read morethe service my car started leaking oil badly. I took it to another mechanic, who showed me that parts had not been tightened correctly, causing a severe oil leak. If a shop can't properly handle something as basic as an oil change, I definitely wouldn't trust them with anything more serious. To make matters worse, they cancelled my original appointment last minute with no consideration for my time. Overall, the experience was frustrating, careless, and stressful. As a woman, I honestly felt like if I had brought the car back to them, they may have tried to take advantage of the situation instead of taking accountability. Save yourself the trouble and go to Allen's Wrench or even Walmart across the street for an oil change instead. This place is ridiculous.

1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir

My friend who referred me to Robert/S&S Advanced Auto Repair more than a year ago was confident…read morethat he'd be able to solve the mystery of why my car's interior lights and one or both "door open" warnings would flash on or stay on while I was driving, even though all the doors were fully closed and locked. The problem was intermittent but occurred frequently enough that it was truly irritating. In my first review, I explained why Robert turned me into a loyal customer even though he wasn't able to diagnose my car's problem. I recently brought my car back to Robert for a couple of other issues and told him the lights and warning notices were still flashing. I left the car with him overnight so he could fix the new issues, and he said he'd try again to figure out what was going on with the lights and warnings. Naturally, because the car was with the mechanic, it was on its best behavior. Until it wasn't. Robert or one of his guys was driving it when the lights flashed, and because they had their computer equipment in the car when it happened, they were able to quickly diagnose the problem as a faulty door latch assembly in one of the doors. My friend was right. Robert and his team--through their experience, skill, perseverance, patience and having the right tools--was able to correctly diagnose a crazy intermittent problem. I approved replacing the faulty part, and the problem has vanished! I don't know what a different mechanic would charge to fix the problem that Robert correctly diagnosed. But I do believe that had I known about S&S from the start, I would have saved $300 by not taking it to the other mechanic that charged me to try this and then try that. Robert and his team rock!

With a recommendation from a prior auto repair shop that we trusted we brought our adult daughter's 2011 Subaru which needed a lot of undone maintenance. He was fair, they did all the work on time and remain accountable for their work! They were cost effective in our view & very professional. My one concern was that " they prefer cash" instead of card. Now their reasoning is to avoid the .03% they pay on credit cards although I don't see a debit card charging .03%. Isn't that there cost of doing business with credit cards, although plus to allow more business to come their way? Strange to me.
