I contacted Nick to inquire about an inspection for a used car I wanted to buy. Nick was very responsive and his guy was ready to inspect the car when I pulled on their parking lot. Nick provided me with a report and pictures of what could be noticed. Great experience overall, happy I was then able to significantly lower down the price of the used car I was buying thanks to the inspection! read more

Nick and his employees are all amazingly helpful and good at what they do. I was in a tight spot and I was able to get the repairs I needed super quick at a great price. They really went above and beyond. read more

Nick took good care of me. If you need a tow, he has a guy but he charges separately. They were friendly and professional and prices were fair! If you are having car troubles definitely check this place out. read more

I been going here for years. The owner is very nice and professional. He goes over and beyond to make sure everything is good. I appreciate this business for all they do for me when I'm stressed out with issue with my BMW. The cost is very affordable and the work is top tier... I definitely recommend this shop from experience. read more

Brought my Mercedes Benz for transmission work and tune up they did a great job. Very responsive, cooperative and budget friendly I would definatly recommend this Auto shop to everyone who has a certain budget. read more

I need the drive belt and tensioner in my car changed. I would've done it myself but don't have the proper equipment. I did some thorough research on what parts would cost on it and then called around to find a shop that would do it for a reasonable price. I called a lot and Nick was one of the very few who I found gave me the most honest quote. Some other places wanted to charge me twice as much as he quoted me. And even better, he fit me in on a busy Saturday, telling me the exact time to come so I wouldn't have to wait around too long. His shop was clean, had WiFi and water and Nick and his staff couldn't have been more generous and timely. Finally, it was time for the bill... which to my pleasant surprise was even a little bit less than what my quote. The invoice was itemized and the price of parts was similar to what I found on Amazon. And his labor costs was pretty fair and accurate to the time it took to repair. First impressions are everything. They made a big one on me and I'm planning to come back in the future. 100%. Thanks, Advanced Auto Care! read more

Honestly, this guy loves what he does, he is very kind and truly cares for his customers. Definitely not one of those places that want to sell stuff on you. He takes his time explaining things and prices are also good. Take your car to him rather than your local dealership. read more

Advanced Auto Care was great. I took my girlfriend's car in for a routine oil change, nothing special. It's a 2013 Hybrid car that only takes full synthetic oil. Nick (owner) was very professional, friendly, and courteous, and so was all of the staff that I met. I walked in at 9am on a friday morning, went to the gym, and my car was done within that time, about 45 mins-an hour. Nick also welcomes you to watch as they perform the work and politely answers whatever questions you have. This is now my go-to shop. The service was fast, professional, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend over the large chain auto shops. read more

I dropped my 2005 Dodge Neon off at advanced auto care because it had started to rumble really loud when I drove. A different mechanic said that it was having engine problems and it was beyond their skill set. When I called, Nick was very helpful and spoke clearly about what the process would be. When they got back to me the next day after doing an inspection, it turned out the rubber engine mounts needed to be replaced. They did a quick and affordable job, and my car runs so much smoother now! Thanks guys! read more

Really great costumer service. I had an issue and they handled it immediately. Really appreciate these guys.

I was referred to advanced auto care by a friend who's been their loyal customer for a few years now . Took my wrecked truck in there 2 weeks ago and picked it up today looking brand new . They changed everything from battery to control arms . Extremely satisfied with my visit will return in the future read more

Nick is the man. He did a great job, was fast, professional and took time to explain the issue and the parts to me. All that and he didn't overcharge me. What a dream. Thanks Nick read more

Nick is friendly and honest which I really appreciated. They were able to give me a fair quote and see me right away. I called late Monday afternoon and was able to get it checked out first thing Tuesday morning. He ordered the part after our call so there was no delay. I really appreciate their clarity, honest and quick service and would definitely recommend these guys in need of car help. Thanks Nick! read more

Advanced Auto Care was fantastic. I am the type of person to look up a lot of reviews and suggestions. Initially I wanted to take my Chevy Equinox to a dealership (Chevy) however most of the feedback was rough, very negative. I started to look at other options and stumbled upon Advanced Auto Care! I used the Yelp site to message AAC about the issue I was having with my vehicle, I had a pretty good idea what the problem was. Nick promptly messaged me back, not only with ball-park pricing but also a suggestion to identify the problem 100%. I used his suggestion the problem was confirmed! We were both on the same page, and quoted ball-park pricing ahead of time. It's nice to have a ballpark idea of what the repair/part/labor will be instead of a big surprise. Peace of mind and less surprises. Took the vehicle in, for him and his team to check it out. They once again confirmed the problem. Called me to confirm the price and part options (stock/aftermarket/etc). Few hours later I got a call that the part has been changed, and the problem has been solved! All handled within half a days work basically. Awesome. I was stressing hard over this because it was a repair that while not critical to the vehicle running, was an annoyance and needed to be handled. Nick and Advanced Auto Care treated me well and took care of my vehicle. A big thanks and a 5 star review! Will be taking my Equinox back in the future if I have more projects. Thank you! read more

For my 2016 bmw 528i Reasonable price and honest service. I did transmission fluid, differential oil, brake pad and tire Im satisfied I will re-visit this place for 100% and i will recommand this place to all around of my friends. Great great great service. read more

Love this guy. Nick is the best, never disappointed Coming here I feel like family. He's earned my trust and business for life. read more

My car had a busted heater hose and they were able to get it fixed and back on the road the same day. Not from the area and needed a someone reliable and fair. Anytime I'm in Glendale they will definitely have my business read more

Love these guys. Honest, friendly, and efficient. Can't ask for anything better. Got my oil changed and they even hooked it up with a tire rotation since I was a new customer. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been looking for a great mechanic in Los Angeles for literally a decade. Fingers crossed, but I think I finally found the one! Nick is great to work with - very up front with estimates, and bends over backwards to make you feel comfortable. A few highlights: -I contacted him over Yelp, and got a response in under an hour. -I already had OBD2 error codes from the car's computer. He didn't question them or try to talk around them, he started from the assumption that I was correct and estimated work based on them. That means a lot; most mechanics are not that way when dealing with female customers. -When I arrived, he personally walked me up to the waiting area, turned on a fan (September in LA is no joke), inquired about my TV preferences, and gave me a wifi password. -When it looked like repairs would take a little longer than expected, he drove me back to my office so I wouldn't be late for a meeting. -Offered to review any future OBD2 codes I might have via text or Yelp message, to save me a drive if nothing is wrong. -Price was very reasonable, especially with the Yelp deal read more

This place is amazing! I had a full synthetic oil change done for $40. Nick was incredibly nice and generous with his time, explaining the different types of synthetic oils and showing me how Volkswagens generally lose oil faster than an average car (boo Volkswagen). I would absolutely recommend Advanced Auto Care to anyone who needs an oil change or any general car repairs. Terrific place! read more

Nick is always helpful, articulate and accomodating! My belt needed to be replaced and they did a FANTASTIC and affordable job. That was about a month ago, and it's running great. THRILLED with all the work they've done on my car!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop! Nick was awesome. He gave me fair pricing and took care of the service right away. The guys were sweet, even offered to get me coffee. I won't be going anywhere else. read more

My engine was overheating and they accommodated me right away. They had the car fixed by end of day. I was grateful that they showed me everything they replaced and explained throughly why they had to do the work they did. Car is working great now. They waived the $150 diagnostic fee for me as a first time customer, which I appreciated. The new parts have a one year warranty. I highly recommend this place! read more

Nick the owner is friendly and professional. I've found him on Yelp because my other auto shop was busy. Although his shop was busy as well, he was able to fit me in for an oil change and tire rotation. I was in and out within 20 minutes. read more

I got a fast response on a quote, and was very happy with the service. I needed a new thermostat and I was in and out in a couple hours. I would recommend them, and will definitely be back in the future for my car needs. read more

The only place I take my car. Their work speaks for itself. Nick and the rest of the team are responsive and always explain what needs to be don't. read more

Nick made a great effort to fix my problem when my Ford Mustang overheated on my way to work in Glendale by offering to tow my vehicle to the Advanced Auto Care facility nearby. Once it cooled off, I drove it over to his shop where he and his crew began looking over it immediately. The found the Electric radiator fan was broken, but that was only part of the problem. Once fixed, he continued trouble shooting the cooling system which was running Hot still. After an overnight stay the Thermostat and the coolant sensor were found to be defected. They replaced them without any additional major repairs. He even UBER'd me back to work when I initially dropped it off !!! Highly recommended for service ! read more

Hands down one of the best experiences I've had with an auto care business. Fast, honest, transparent and excellent repair! Couldn't recommend this more! read more

Great service. Ask for Nik. He took care of our car and gave us a great deal. Very professional and friendly. I would recommend him to all anyone that needs a great mechanic. read more

I was in Glendale buying a new used car and just wanted to get it checked out from an independent repair shop before I purchased. Nick was able to squeeze me in with only 30 minutes notice, the inspection was thorough, and the price was very reasonable. He had a comprehensive report for me when I returned to pick up the car and I felt very comfortable with the care he took to go through the report with me. Highly recommended! read more

Wow this place is awesome! Nick the owner is very caring to his customer! He replaced my brake pad fast and affordable! Lexus dealer qouted me $350 just to replace the front brake pad! Never go anywhere else! Thanks Nick! read more

I chose this shop based on reviews and distance, without reference. Surprise! I was very, very impressed. Happy with my decision. I got a suspension swap to performance rated ones (i.e. lowering) and it came out perfect. Brought in my baseline, not much to look at Lexus, and out came out a brand new ride. I smile, and not just a little, when I drive. Nick, was the MOST prompt in responding of all the shops I contacted, and provided the best rate and time frame his crew would get to it. His crew delivered quality work and on time. Couldn't be any happier. If I have a bit of time, I will be coming back again. read more

Really great and fast and they stayed open a little later when i was rushing to get back from work which I appreciate.

Nick and his staff always very helpful, i never have a problem when i come here. Its hard to find a place you can trust when it comes to your care. I will never go any where else. read more

Nick gave me a fast and great quote over IM. I came and dropped my car off to have the inner and outer tie rods replaced. They did it same day in about three hours. Nick also told me what else needed some repair on my car. But he didn't push me or oversell. I'll definitely be back. read more

Nothing but great things to say about these guys! I'm not usually one to write reviews, but the service I received from Advanced Auto Care exceeded my expectations. Nick and his guys were honest and transparent as they diagnosed the situation, taking time to stop and explain what they were seeing. For someone that's not great with cars (let's be honest, that's most of us), this was very refreshing. With the issue being low pressure in the first cylinder and my car being a relatively new vehicle, Nick mentioned that the repairs might be covered under warranty. He even offered to call the dealership and pass on the results of their tests. I really appreciated Nick looking out for my best interests, even if that meant the repairs would be done elsewhere. It's difficult to find a shop you can trust, but trust the reviews on this page and give Advanced Auto Care a shot! Nick and his guys will not disappoint. read more

This Review is long over due forgive me advanced auto care on Glendale ave in Glendale. Ok if you want to seriously have your car fixed without the usual adding problems and sticking it to you at the end let me tell about Advanced auto care first off the workers are experienced and the right team cohesively work great. The employees all know how to fix anything the team consists of older experienced mechanics. The owner is always there well when I've been there one time he goes out of his way, to get a part from auto zone across the street and buying a part my car needed. I don't even think it was repair just something that was annoying me. He wouldn't charge me for it. Saying it was nothing. The wait time is fast because the minute you pull in, that car is ready to be fixed the job is impeccable the environment is serious everything is done in front of you so if you need synthetic oil you will get synthetic oil. If you aren't sure if they really cleaned or changed the filter or flushed the oil it's all done in front of you. All cars all kinds go I'm serious all these people can't be wrong and here's the mind bender his prices are affordable like great affordable anyone can afford it. I'm begging to think he cares more about the car being like new more than the money. Go go go go I'm going soon with my doggy they don't mind her. It's time for a tune up! Loyal customer for life ! Thanks advanced auto care keep up the exceptional service! read more

SO SO SO GRATEFUL!!! What can I say...found out I ran over a drill bit at 6:10pm...gave them a call...said I could make it over in 10 mins...had the tire repaired (FOR NO COST) in about 5 mins & they refused to even take a tip!!! these guys...hope I don't have to go back, but I can definitely recommend this place read more

Finding a auto shop you trust is extremely hard, but I promise you won't look any further once you visit advanced auto care. Monday morning my car was out of coolant so I drove it down to the Volkswagen dealer on brand. They pulled the car into service for a quote and my service advisor came out 45 mins later claiming my radiator was busted. Part and labor the dealer was charging roughly $1,100.00. So I yelped a few shops and called advanced auto care. Spoke to Nick, asked if I could take it in for a second opinion and maybe get a aftermarket radiator instead for cheaper. He told me to add water and come down which was only a few blocks away. He quoted me $550.00 with everything including an oil change. I left the car and was told to pick it up the next day. As I got home, I received a call from Nick telling me to come back to the shop because the car was ready. Wait, what???? I just left it. Nick surprised me with the best news, before replacing it he made sure to test and make sure the problem was the radiator, however found out the problem was just the radiator cap's rubber seal. He had picked one up from the dealer and installed it. Test drove the car for about 5 minutes came back handed the key and said your ready. Best of all the damage was only $75.00 with an oil change. Thank you Nick and Advanced Auto Care for your honesty. You guys saved me over $1,000.00. read more

These guys are amazing! My 2011 BMW was shaking profusely for the past couple of days. In fact, it actually stopped on me once. When I took my car there, the mechanic quickly told me that 3 of my car's 6 cylinders were not working, so basically I was running with half the machine out! I dropped the car to Nick at around 5ish, and was ready for pickup by 3pm the next dy. He assured me that he fixed the problem and he even test drove the car beforehand to make sure that it was running smoothly. I got the car and I am happy to say that it runs smooth like butter. Thank you Nick! I would highly recommend anyone to take their cars here. read more
