I recently bought a 1964 Chevy and I felt like it wasn't running to its full potential and the carburetor needed some adjustment. I contacted Advanced based on their reviews here, and spoke to Diego to inquire about my issues. He told me to bring my car in the following morning, and he'd have it back to me in a few hours. I was contacted shortly after dropping my car off and told I'd need to have my carb rebuilt, as the internals looked pretty bad and dirty. He gave me a very fair quote and I gave him the ok, and once they really dug into to it, he identified some other issues that were affecting the motor's performance. I was contacted again and told I'd need a spacer and longer bolts, as the secondaries of my edelbrock carburetor were not opening, as they were hitting my stock 283 intake manifold. After being given a modestly revised quote, again I gave him the ok and was told I'd be ready by the following morning as the parts had to be ordered. Got the call the next morning and picked up the car, and what a difference. Diego really livened up the car and now it has the power that it should have, with the rebuilt carb and adjustments. Diego is an old school car guy and Advanced Carburetor Specialties is a solid old school local business - one of the few that remain. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome shop. Took a marine two barrel carb to them on a Thursday and told them no rush, they still got it done by Saturday morning. Cleaned up all the corrosion and gave me new gaskets as well. Installed the rebuilt carb, dialed in the idle screw and the boat's engine hasn't run any smoother in years. A local boat shop told me this is where they send their carbs and that he does outstanding work. I know I couldn't be any happier with the work performed. Cash only, but that's no biggie. They tell you when you drop it off. Payment due upon pick up read more

Always the best. I have taken many carbs here and will continue to do so. It's worth the drive for excellent service. read more

I dropped off my Edelbrock 1406 carb Monday to have it gone through. It was flooding out my engine an I knew there was something just not right. Got it back on Tuesday and put it on that day. The car fired right up and ran beautifully. Diego and the everyone working here are very nice and helpful. Thank you once again for another job well done, I will be recommending anyone who needs carb work to Advanced Carburator! read more

See all

Honestly, I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. What can I tell you, this is THE carb shop you want to go to. I went over to ask if they would see my '79 Corolla with a 2 barrel Aisan Carb and they told me to bring it over next morning at 8 am. Brought it next morning, I told them no rush and they had it done that same day at 2 PM. Amazing work, I have been to 2 previous shops and none of them are as good as this one. I'll keep coming here for my future projects and sending anyone that needs a carb rebuild. read more

2 years ago the throttle body injector systems on both of my boat engines were failing after 18 years of use. Our boat mechanic recommended Advanced Carb and I took the throttle bodies to them for rebuilding. They immediately tested them to see if they could be rebuilt. 3 days later I returned to pick up what looked like brand new throttle bodies and they have worked perfectly. These guys are the best in the business! read more

My 55 cadillac had a hesitation and Diego said bring it in and gave me a fair quote over the phone. Advanced carb rebuilt the carb and tuned in on the car at a fair price. Turned out my hesitation had nothing to do w the carb. But the carb needed rebuilding anyway. Diego said leave the car over nite and he would like to runs some tests for me. Advanced carb went above and beyond replacing the coil fuel filter and points at no charge. I would definitely recommend them for there business. Thanks Diego. read more

Nice , honest guys, no frills, they did the job on my 1 barrel Carter carb. Cash only kind of bummed me out. Sketchy neighborhood in Santa Ana. This is the only place I have been to for this kind of work. Kinda pricey for a small basic carb $180. Found a place in Fullerton that would do the same job for $150 read more

Diego and his team performed a terrific rebuild of my Holley 800cfm double-pumper for my 600hp Gen 1 SBC. Fair price and quick turnaround. Highly recommended. Call me for a recommendation: John at 714-227-3047. read more

I was having a horrible time trying to get the carburetor adjusted on my '72 Dodge Dart Swinger for several weeks. This was after it was "supposedly" rebuilt at another carburetor shop located too far to return to. My car would surge on idle really high then the drop in rpm and stall if I didn't keep my foot on the accelerator and brake simultaneously. The carb, which is a carter 2bbl, even started leaking at the upper basket. I looked locally for a shop with expertise with old school carburetors that also would remove the carb from my car, install it, and tune it after the rebuild. So I decided to give Advanced Carburetor and Batteries a call. I spoke with, then met Diego, the owner of the shop, who is kind, personable and very professional. He even gave me a ride home while they worked on my baby, which I didn't expect. Still I was a bit nervous about how the car would run when I picked it up, do to my last and other experiences. Let me state very clearly that my concerns were resolved. I can't remember when my car has idled and drove this smoothly. Funny thing is. As anxious and concerned as I was about how the rebuild would turn out, once I started the car and put it into gear, I was completely relaxed on the drive home. No more white knuckling it. It's often said that you get what you pay for. Diego and his guys are proof of that. He has definitely earned my business. read more

Needed the Quadrajet from my 70 Corvette rebuilt. After looking at many other shops, most who do not dyno run your carb on a live engine, I found Advanced. Talked to Diego, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. Shipped my Qjet to him and it was back within 4 days. Bolted it on, turned the key and she fired right up, just a quick idle adjustment and the car runs amazing. I will not go anywhere else. read more

I had my Holley marine carburetor rebuilt here. Diego was very professional, honest and definitely knows his stuff. I dropped of my carburetor off on Monday and got it back the following day. My mechanic installed on my boat and it worked flawlessly. My boat put out a lot of power and hit 50 mph with ease read more

I brought them my Holley 600 4 barrel for rebuild, after reinstalling it on the truck we were amazed at how well it ran. It didn't work that well when it was new! read more

Diego gave me a fair price on carburetor work and got the work done in a couple of hours, the same day I called in. My car runs beautifully after the work was done. As others have mentioned, cash only, but there is a Bank of America right down the street, as well as a liquor store right across the street. read more

Been coming here since 2005 and I will not go anywhere else! Have had a lot of carburetors rebuilt from Autolite 1100s (Ford 1 bbl) to Holley 4 bbls and I have never been disappointed. Diego is the guy on the counter and he's very helpful, the guy in the labcoat in the back is the one that rebuilds them. He always comes up to the counter when I pick up the carb, like he's proud of his artwork and wants to see my reaction. I always make sure to thank them both. When I initially looked for a carb rebuild shop, this was the cheapest (I haven't look around since 2005). I'm not sure what the ongoing rates are on the other shops now, but I don't mind paying a little bit more to get it right the first time. Some folks that this may not be the best part of town, the way I see it, if you want real good authentic Vietnamese food, you go to Little Saigon, no Villa Park. Thanks guys and I will see you guys next time! read more

I have a 29 year old suzuki samurai they are notorious for being hard to smog and mine was no different I had another shop install a rebuilt carb which didn't help. My luck changed when I tried these guys they overhauled the carb and had to even drill a port to make it to spec, after numerous adjustments they got it to pass and it runs great thanks to their persistence and knowledge. I was so thrilled I tried to give Diego some extra cash he declined saying it was only customer service. This was the best experience I've ever had at a repair shop in my 62 years. read more
