One of the worst cases of a total lack of customer service or integrity we’ve ever experienced. I recommendation: find someplace else. We had the catalytic converter replaced on our Tahoe. I then went on a trip with my small travel trailer to Oregon driving 800 miles. Driving through a small town the check engine light started blinking and I was losing power. I pulled over and luckily a local mechanic was driving by who spent an hour diagnosing the problem. when advanced auto replaced the catalytic converter, they ran the wires for the oxygen center up over the exhaust that melted the wires and caused a fuse to short. It cost $500 to be towed and a new oxygen sensor installed. Thankfully, the mechanic there to my trailer to a campground as I had to wait for two days to get my Tahoe back. My wife went down to advanced auto when I got back and all they were willing to do was reimbursed the $40 for the oxygen sensor. The man was rude and insensitive and couldn’t have cared less. One of the worst cases of customer service we’ve ever experienced . Had this happened in a remote place on Highway 84 during my travels I would’ve been completely stranded with a huge towing bill and possibly no cell service either. The man in advanced auto said he couldn’t reimburse us for anything else which is pure BS. He’s the owner of the shop and could’ve done anything. He wanted, but chose to keep his greed to keep the money we spent rather than create customer service and a satisfied customer. There is no way I would ever recommend this shop. We thought we had found a good mechanic based on recommendations from friend, and yet I would never ever recommend this place the way my wife was treated and the total lack of customer service or any kind of displayed understanding or even just integrity. Find someplace else to service your vehicles.

Maudi is awesome! It’s super busy but he will fit you in. My f-150’s rear diff went out. First shop I took it to, couldn’t fix it. Second one wanted to over charge me. Maudi said he could get it towed to his shop and fix better and cheaper.. and he did. Saved me at least a thousand. Thanks again Maudi!

Just took my car here for a few minor repairs. It was my first time there and after my experience, it will not be my last. It is not a fancy shiny shop. It is tucked back off the road with a small tight entrance and the shop is older. But the service is what matters to me and the service was great. They were honest, quick, and well priced. Not the most talkative bunch, but again that didn't matter as much to me as their competence and their honesty. They did a great job, they did it quickly, they took good care of me and my car, and they didn't try and push me into repairs I did not need. They recommended a few things for the near future, and left it at that. I just found my new favorite mechanic near my work.

They did great and honest work. They had some issues with logistics and delivery, which caused a delay, but overall, they did fix my car.

I’ve been bringing my vehicles to Mahdi for over a decade, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He’s honest, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond. Whether it’s routine maintenance or major repairs, I know I can trust him to get the job done right and never over charges. Over the years, I’ve referred many family members to him, and they all say the same thing—Mahdi is the best. It’s rare to find someone this reliable in the auto world. Highly recommend!

For my first experience, I’m really happy with Mr. Mahdi so far. He checked my car for free and didn’t try to get me to replace the alternator when it wasn’t necessary — at least for now. I had a good experience and will continue bringing my car here. I’m hoping their prices are fair as well. I’ll update my review later.

I've had nothing but great experiences with this shop over the years. I'm generally a DIYer, but when I run into anything that I don't want to tackle (or don't have time to mess with), I take it here. Great, honest, fair service and pricing.

Fair pricing, professional staff, estimates upon request, trained and competent mechanics. Couldn't ask for a better experience. They were able to troubleshoot and correct an issue that Jiffy Lube caused within a few hours. Will be my go-to for future car work.

I am so very grateful for these guys! I called at 5:50 PM and was able to get in last minute! I was told that he'd finish that night and come back in an hour... fast forward an hour later and my car was finished and I was able to drive home when I wasn't able to really drive the car more than a few feet! The speed, the service, the quality, and the price were beyond amazing! I was in shock at how great of an experience this was simply because it was last minute, super fast, and perfect! That never happens, but it happens here, this is a place of vehicular miracles! Please go here, you and your car will leave here happy! I know I'll come here again for car repairs. Thanks again! I am beyond grateful for their perfect service, speed, and price.

Over the years, I've recommended their services to several friends and family members, and they all tell me the same thing: their wait times were short, the prices were unbeatable, and the quality of work was top-notch. Whether it's routine maintenance or more complex repairs, Advanced Auto Repair & Emissions consistently delivers reliable, high-quality service. If you're looking for a trustworthy auto shop with fair pricing and excellent customer service, I highly recommend them!

Came in twice in two days, first to get rid of a pesky check engine light and the following day for an emissions test. Quick, efficient, friendly, and a fair price. I will come here again for sure. Thanks!

I got my water pump fixed and it ended up costing much less than I expected and he also charged me no labor for three smaller things. Super awesome guy and mechanic is 100% recommend going to him for any work on a car.

Friendly, easy going, professional and efficient. Overall humble, hard working atmosphere. Not overly fancy but dignified just the same. Took about 5-10 minutes start to finish from driving in for my emissions to driving out with my registration renewed and DMV stickers in place. Their hours are accommodating, and the price is good. They have Saturday evening hours when most other places would be closed. All around best. Intelligent and friendly conversation included. Thanks Advanced Auto Repair and Emission 💙

I take my car here when I need repairs. Recently had two issues, which were fixed and I got my car back quickly. I have needed a seat rim for years and finally addressed the problem to Madhi who stated my car was too old to get a new car rim. I said I would accept a used one in flaming red in order to protect the mechanism that moves the seat back and forth from water in winter and dirt in summer. Imagine my surprise to get a quick return of my car with a beautiful gray rim. My car is gray inside and out. It looks like a new car. I could have danced out of his shop that day. The prices are fair and the service is fantastic . I recommend Madhi and Advanced Auto for all your auto needs.

I would give a million stars if I could. I was having an issue with my car and just searched places that would look at my car this was the closest one to where i was. I went in and turned my car off to find someone. When I came back to show them the sound of was making my car wouldn't turn on. I went in to panic mode and was crying talking about towing my car home lol. He told me I could leave it there and he would look at it for me and call me. He called me pretty quick maybe just a few hours later. Told me it was my starter gave me a good price and had it done within an hour to be ready for pick up. Thank you so much. You are a life saver. He gave great customer service the entire time. I appreciate you more then you know!!
