Advanced Automotive and Diesel Service

This is one of the best garage’s in the area. Vince, the owner, is always happy to explain the nature of repairs, and all of the staff are very knowledgeable. In addition, they are usually extremely competitive in terms of cost. It sometimes takes a while to get an appointment, but that is because they are dedicated to taking the time to do the job well.

One of the hardest things to find is a consistently competent and HONEST auto-​service center. Look no further! The crew at Advanced are as good as they get! Vince the owner is a straight up guy that will tell you like it is and NEVER tries to up-​sell you on things that you don’t really need or that you might be able to wait on (with an eye always focused on safety and reliability of course).
Like many people, I always got that same old feeling walking into any repair shop as I did a car dealer showroom…“OK how are they going to try and screw me and what do I need to look out for”… On defense to say the least! Advanced has changed all of that. They have earned my respect, trust and most of all my confidence. We put our lives and the lives of those we love in these «potential rolling death machines» everyday. We often forget how important it is to have qualified and professional people service and maintain our vehicles. Don’t assume for one second that Dealerships alone can provide this security… you’re kidding yourself if you do. Vince, the guys and Dawn (can’t forget her) are those people. People you will trust and feel good about doing business with.
They work on everything and do it all very well. Yet, If you have a diesel powered vehicle this is the only place for you. It is VERY tough to find good diesel techs. Therefore, most diesel owners run to the dealership where it’s a BIG roll of the dice. Diesel sales and service is, for almost all dealerships, a very small percentage of their overall business. As a result, few have the talent with the experience to do things right the first time. Having owned three diesel trucks in the past I have had my experience with very costly diesel repairs so I know (from some tough lessons learned) first hand that you really need someone who knows diesel… Advanced is it… PERIOD!
I have been using them for years with several vehicles of varied makes and NEVER had a return. I’ve sent numerous friends and family there… some from great distances. They all continue to use Advanced without reservation or hesitation and continue to thank me for sending them there. If you want a fancy shop with twenty flavored coffees in the lobby and 5 flat screens on the wall (that your inflated bills pay for) then don’t go to Advanced. If you want to go to a real repair shop that does it right and treats you right then do yourself a big favor and get to Advanced !!!
