Prompt service, honest, good communication and an appropriate price charged parts and labor. I couldn't ask for more. I'd recommend Advance Automotive Service.

Tony is seriously one of the most straight-forward people I've had the pleasure of working with. He's given me honest timelines on when things should be done, as well as how long I can reasonably hold off on things I don't quite have the money for at the moment. The only time I ever had an issue (my muffler was attached a bit loosely and rattled) I was able to get in IMMEDIATELY and was back out the door in ten minutes at no cost and with a sincere apology for my inconvenience. Highly recommended

Tony is awesome. He's not a man of many words but he doesn't need to be. His business speaks for itself. I've owned a vehicle almost 20 years and never have i had a mechanic so honest. He gets the vehicle in, checks it out, tells me what it is, lets me know if it's repairable, gives an honest ball park estimate, fixes it, and gets me on my way.

Very glad I was able to get my vehicle towed and sent here to get repaired on such sort notice. They were able to identify and fix the problem within a day which was something not as serious as I originally thought. Didn’t pay that much either. More in towing than the labor to fix the car itself. Overall very happy and thankful!

This shop rules. I had a great experience. Prices were very reasonable compared with local competitors, repairs were timely, customer service was better-than-average. It was a very straightforward experience. I'll be taking my car here in the future and I would highly recommend Advance.

The owner Tony is the most honest shop owner I have ever done business with. I have been bringing my car to him for years. He never tries to oversell you on an repair. He charges a fair price and is always honest with you. He won't tell you to fix anything that doesn't need to be repaired and will tell you when something can wait. I recently had some emission problems and had to bring it to him a few times. He was trying to save me money by only fixing what he though was needed to pass emissions. Long story short, I had to bring it back it in a couple of times but he was trying to save me some money and in the end he still did save me a few hundred dollars. My car passed emissions and is running very well. The location may not be the best, but the honest fair service I received at Advance Automotive more then makes up for it. I doubt I'll ever find a more honest, fair shop that does good work.

Tony has done the work on my 2006 Dodge Caravan for many many years. He is honest and thorough, and professional. My vehicle has 240,000 miles on it and is dependable as ever.

Tony was great! He was very knowledgeable and straightforward with the repairs needed. I needed to get my brakes and rotors replaced and it was done in a few hours. Tony explained everything that they did to the car and broke down the costs without me having to ask about all the details. I will definitely be going back for any repairs needed.

A multi-generational ran business, the current owner Tony is great he's straight to the point no sugar coat he will work with you and help you prioritize what needs to get done on your vehicle, especially if money is tight And/or Having you car back is time sensitive. They are constantly busy so make sure you call a few days ahead if you can, so that you can get in, because chances are it will be hard to get in the same day due to their workload, but obviously there are always exceptions especially in emergency cases. My family and I have gone here for years and have never had an issue, you can be confident that you're getting good work done and a good price and that you will never get cheated or scammed or taken for a loop, which sadly is an all too common occurrence nowadays with mechanic shops. I highly recommend you check them out, Tony is a great guy and runs a quality Business Without A Doubt!!

My neighbor recommended Tony and I'm so glad they did. I've brought three cars of mine in multiple times. The work done is always top notch, fairly priced and quick. Tony lays to rest the Venn diagram of cheap fast and good by achieving all three at once. The area is sketchy but cars are moved in doors overnight if possible and the building is very secure.

Advance has been around for some 50+ years for a reason. They're honest, straightforward, trustworthy, and super-talented mechanics. They're also really good people. This is the place, Milwaukee. You got car problems? Get on down to 35th and State.

Tony and his mechanics are the best. I had been coming here for years but moved out of town. I cams back for.a visit and had some break issues. I came by in the mid afternoon and Tony had someone take my car out right away to check it out and scheduled with me for the next day. They made the repair the next day and I was able to drive safely home. Tony truly cares about his customers- he is genuine, honest, and skilled at his work! The community is very lucky to have Tony and this auto repair shop.
