I have been taking my cars to Jamil for at least 15 maybe 20 years He has always taken amazing care of me and gotten the work done perfectly and at a fraction of the cost of dealerships and probably did a better job He has helped me figure out issues with cars. He goes out of his way to help you when he can. He's also save me tons of money. I hit a huge boulder on the freeway ruining my wheel and he shopped the wheels for me saving me hundreds of dollars. I cannot say enough great things about him. I highly highly highly highly recommend him. He's a rare person to find as far as a fair and honest mechanic. And truly is. read more

my friend recommended me to come out and get my vehicle inspected. After several attempts of trying to get my vehicle right, Jamel made me feel hopeful about my car. Whether if it brakes, alignments, transmissions, etc.. he is able to get it done. He is genuinely such a cool guy, and he deserves a Long Beach city recognition. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also witty. I dig that. anyways, I have found my new place in LB and i'm grateful. read more

Answered my request promptly and quoted a good price. I brought the car in for oil change and tire rotation, then waited on-site. Work was done quickly and professionally getting me on my way. Highly recommend. read more

Jamel was a great communicator throughout the entire process. He quickly responded to my request for a quote and was flexible with my schedule. The only thing that detracted from my experience was grease left behind on my floor mats. Still, the quote was fair and work done on schedule. I would return. read more

Jamel is great. He did a specialist repair on my '05 prius (which is apparently a tricky job) with ease and at an excellent price. He is completely trustworthy and honest. Highly recommended. read more

My long search for a good, honest mechanic is over. Jamel is no-nonsense and honest. He comes off more like a friend who's an expert at cars looking out for you for reasonable compensation, and less like a mechanic who's making a living fixing cars. I tell all my friends about him and the few who have gone to see him have also been impressed. read more

Jamel is the man. He was reccomended to me by a long time friend of mine.. I have gotten nickeled and dime by a lot of mechanics in my lifetime , but unlike most auto mechanics he said "it's not always about the money" .. mind blown! I couldn't believe my ears! I have been looking for auto repair shop I trust for a long time and I think I just found it . He just helped me change my headlight , but it was enough to trust to bring any problem I may have in the future to him. Thanks Jamel ! read more

Jamel is such a nice honest soul! I had a short encounter with him after several people told me I might need to get my alternator replaced. I dropped it off and he inspected and told me everything was working perfectly. He had the most reasonable price quoted for me in town and I'm glad I came to him. Will definitely come back for any future repairs. Thank you read more

My mom's car suddenly stopped starting a few days before Christmas and after a failed attempt to jump the car, we assumed it was an issue with the starter since she's had some issues with it in the past. I spoke with Jamel who said we'd be able to drop the car off and get repairs done when the shop opened after the Christmas holiday and gave us an estimate for the work to replace the starter that was very reasonable! After the van was dropped off, he gave us a call to let us know he actually found a loose battery terminal and saw the battery was super dead so we probably didn't wait long enough when trying to jump it the day before. He charged the battery and we were able to pick up the car the same day! Which meant my mom had her car for the holidays Jamel also didn't charge us for his time which was extremely generous and thoughtful during the holiday season. We will definitely be returning to Advanced Auto in the future for any additional repairs or car needs! read more

I went to them for an oil change. They only charge $35 if you bring your own oil and filter. I found them to be completely honest and they didn't add on any extra fees. As a woman, it is hard to find mechanics who don't take advantage and try to get more money out of you. I 100% recommend this family owned business. read more

I had weird noises coming from my back wheels and was about to go on a road trip. I didn't have an appointment but they squeezed me in over lunch to make sure it was nothing critical. Found the problem quickly and reassured me I was ok to drive and what to follow up on. Great customer service and knowledgeable team read more

Jamel has been my goto mechanic over the last 4 years and he never disappointed. All jobs, from a simple oil change to a major repair, have been done to perfection and always within the promised time. Highly recommended. read more

Jamel was a long-distance truck mechanic in France. He knows his stuff. He is a great mechanic. Kind and friendly and always on time. His wife Celine helps manage the business. I recommend them highly. He helped my choose my last used car and it has been trouble free for years. read more

Awesome service. Very fast response and quick to get me in for tire replacement, balance and disposal. It was 68$. Perfect. *I had my own tires Will be going back for my Rears soon. read more

Jamel provided quick, helpful estimates on multiple services. I needed new tires, brake pads and rotors and an AGM battery. He by far gave me the best prices. I gave him 2 days notice and everything was ready to go when I arrived. The work was all done same day with no surprises. He even took time to show me my old worn out rotors and brake pads. As a woman getting car work done on my own can be daunting but this was an all around comfortable and easy experience. I highly recommend Jamel and Advanced Auto. Thank you so much read more

While Spanish football fans have Yamal in whose feet people can marvel, So. Cal drivers can also play with Jamel's feat of various feats, as his work 's goal is to get you back on the road with the least damage and the most pleasant experience you can share with others regarding a mechanic's applied science, heartwarming integrity and affordability. From the installation of new tires to a hitch added 'without a hitch,' we felt at home and at ease with Jamel as his ethic, humor, honesty, intelligence and expertise have consistently and reliably reassured us at every turn. Whether you're driving to any specific goal or 'just playing the field,' this place will surely make you feel like you're a prized winner. For, thanks to this humbly surprising guy (and his wonderfully refreshing gal, Celine in the office), anybody can get their kicks out of some mighty real, very good and true, go-to, goal-oriented sensations! read more

Great service, great staff! Been here 3 times now for new starters, shock absorbers, & another one I can't remember.. but have had a pleasant experience each time! read more

These guys give me faith in auto shops. I had a bunch of repairs I needed for my car, and of course I browsed around for quotes. These guys gave me a quote that was almost 70% cheaper than my dealership, and 50% cheaper than another local shop right down the street. These numbers are not made up. On top of that, the couple that runs this place are super kind and warm. Definitely my go-to spot now. 100% recommend! read more

This Auto Shop was referred to me by a friend. Jamel knows a lot about German cars, which is what I needed. He operates by appointment. Had an oil change and the service was great and a good value. Jamel's pricing is fair in comparison to other shops that charge a lot for synthetic euro oil changes. Highly recommend. read more

Jamel is an expert mechanic who revived my VW CC turbo after another garage misdiagnosed the problem. Very reasonable prices for oil changes and tires as well. Highly recommended! read more

I got my Subaru serviced today for the first time here and the reviews were spot on. I even showed up an hour earlier than my appointment, and Jamel was extremely accommodating and fast. Very happy with the price and service, and Jamel even fixed my bumper that was missing a small part when I casually asked what I would need to get it fixed. I'll come back here ANY time I need service or maintenance! read more

Been here before due to a car problem and decided to get my maintenance done here since I've had an extremely pleasant experience last time. As always, great customer service and honestly the best auto place I've been too EVER! The pricing is also very reasonable! Never had problems with them and would recommend anyone for them to come to this place. They also get things done pretty quick! I usually get stressed out with getting car stuff done but it helps when the customer service is nice and extremely helpful. I've never written reviews for any other place except this place which shows how much I appreciate and value this auto shop! read more

It is really hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, we all know the struggle. I haven't had a mechanic I trust in over five years, my last mechanic retired and so even though I would drive all the way to Riverside to see them that was no longer possible. When I received my car back from the dealership after a total engine replacement And it was down 2 quarts of oil from the drive home I needed to find a trustworthy mechanic to check the work and see what it happened I took the car here after finding it on Yelp, and I could not be more pleased. They saw that the car had been returned to me with a very vital component leaking as soon as the oil pressurized, and if I continue to drive the car I would've had another engine failure with a week because all the oil was spewing out of the engine block This is because the dealership did not do basic safety testing before giving me back the car, and it was something that should have been covered under warranty. I chose to get the car fixed there rather than taking a back to the dealership because I wanted to go someplace I trusted, and the prices are beyond reasonable. They are definitely my new go to mechanics read more

First time there, took my car and ask for estimate and was giving writhing min, I made my appointment and for my car fixed. Paid almost 3 times less than a quote I was given somewhere else. Jamel was amazing. Definitely is now my to go for any issues with my cars. read more

The nicest & best service ever !! They are professional , kind & do an amazing job explaining everything in easy to understand terms .

Jamel (owner and main technician) is the most honest person in the business. He is very professional, and his prices are extremely reasonable. This is the only shop I fully trust here in Long beach! read more

When he states fair pricing , he is not kidding Jamel and Celine are salt of the earth with pure integrity Ive been taking my past 5 series Bmw and now C class Mercedez with him doing the same service and repairs for a 1/2 of what the Dealer charges using all the latest technology around He has saved me so many times always going the extra mile Ive been going to him for the past 5 years? Maybe longer and wont go anywhere else Im not a fan of mechanics due to experiences in the past but I am a fan of Advanced Auto and Jamel If I could give 10 stars , I would! read more

Just went to get my car checked out for an issue. Thank you Jamel for taking a look at my car and for your honesty. I appreciate your time and kindness. I'll see you guys soon for my next oil change! read more

My wife just took my car in today for rattling underneath my car that I suspected was a loose bracket or heat shield... they fixed it right away and didn't even charge us. Stoked about the awesome service and wanted to leave a 5 star review. read more

Jamal is one of the most transparent, friendly , trustworthy guys I've ever met in the auto repair industry. I dread going to mechanics and getting the run around or feeling like I'm being ripped off or taken advantage of due to my lack of knowledge when it comes to car repair. Immediately I felt like I was in good hands today when I brought in my Jeep with a faulty plug. He even told me he would order the part and I could keep my car and return later so I wouldn't have to sit there all day or catch a Uber. Highly recommend! read more

AMAZING. As someone who doesn't feel comfortable dealing with car issues I can't stress how great the staff was here. Jamal was thorough and upfront. He responded to me quickly and efficiently. Went in for a simple oil change but he went above and beyond! He let me know about my check engine light issue and he fixed the cover under my car without any extra charge (it was hanging). I will come back here in the future! read more

Just had the best experience I've ever had at an auto repair shop. It's hard to make time to get my car looked at since I work at a school during the day. I have also had my fair share of mechanics trying to rip me off but there was none of that here. After calling and setting up a time to get my car looked at it was quick and Jamel was super helpful and informative. It got fixed within 20 minutes. Definitely will be coming back. Thanks again! read more

I really appreciate how honest and helpful this place is. I've taken car here twice already and Jamel and his wife have been responsive and helpful. Moreover, Jamel showed me a video, printout and where my car issue was found clearly. And the price was reasonable as well for the service. I found my go to car repair place! read more

I've had a vehicle stored as PNO for nearly 5 years and Advanced Auto helped me get it running again. Jamel was very helpful in walking me through some diagnostics to do myslef before bringing it in. He told me what parts and tools to buy, and how to do it. I was able to correctly diagnose, order the part myslef, and bring it in for his team to install. They are friendly, HONEST, and provided service in the time they quoted. Pricing is very fair. I have already started to bring my other vehicles to them for service and repairs and will continue to do so. read more

I highly recommend Jamel. He is not only honest, but accommodating as well. I had an unfortunate incident when another shop lied about stripping my lug bolts during a tire change. I had to bring my car to Jamel as he was the only one still open that evening. Jamel inspected my vehicle and helped me understand why the other shop was at fault. He spoke with me for 45 minutes after closing, and educated me on the faults of the other shop. He quoted me a fair price, and did a quick repair the next day. He was also flexible with my schedule with updates and pick up time for my vehicle, something I greatly appreciated due to my night shift job. His assessment and advice also helped to convince the other shop to reimburse me for the damage they caused to my car. Every interaction I had with Jamel was a positive one. Go here if you want to work with a trusted mechanic! read more
