These folks are the best--kind, professional, and they get it done! I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I took my Tesla to Advanced Technologies to install a suspension upgrade. The other reviewer said it perfectly when he said Lee and his team were very transparent about their business. He explained what they were going to do and then he and Chris got to work and got it done quickly, keeping me updated along the way, explaining how the new suspension worked, etc. Lee even came with me on a test drive to make sure I was happy with the results (which I was). When it came time to pay, he laid out exactly what they did and why they needed to do that- which was super refreshing and not something I was used to at other garages. Such a positive experience all around, I would highly recommend them if you live on the Northshore and need work done on your car. read more

If you have a german car, do yourself a favor and give Advanced Technologies a shot I promise you that you will leave impressed. The owner Lee is like no other mechanic I've ever met, his business is completely transparent and even invites you to work on your own car with him so that you can learn about what he is doing as he works. Everyone who works at the shop is equally as friendly and forthcoming about all their activities. Lee even hosts an event at his shop every summer where he invites members from the Audi community to come to his shop and do their timing belt service (typically a $700+ job) for the cost of parts. He & other members of the community provide help, tools and time. You will not find a better garage. read more

I've been going to ATech for about 8 years now to have my 2009 Mazdaspeed3 service and modified. They installed my aftermarket turbo exhaust, my sport suspension, and a host of incidentals all with speed, precision and they kept me informed through the whole process. These guys really know their stuff and the service, quality, and pricing are all excellent! It's true that they are especially known for their expertise with German cars, but I can say from personal experience that they know their way around Japanese cars just as well! I can't say enough great things about Lee and his entire crew. Two thumbs up for sure! read more

horrible service he ripped me off for thousands, yea remember me lee you ripped me off for 20k Let me go ahead and explain the entire story. First of all yes that was a while ago, but that doesn't change how shady you were, and probably still are. You told me you could work on my corvette, you couldn't. You subcontracted the job of replacing my heads on my blown engine to a Chevy mechanic from the Sudbays Chevy dealership. So neither you nor your crew did the work. So you charged me more so you could pay an outside mechanic. OK that's fine, but he was supposed to put new heads on my engine and instead put all my already paid for parts like my supercharger on my blown engine, all these parts we agreed we would talk about insalling after you fixed my engine.. I made the mistake of having you hold onto them. He then put on my drilled and slotted rotors and new crome rims/tires as well. Then it sat for a month because I said he never fixed the original problem, I wasn't paying for it because my engine was still blown. It was still blowing white smoke. in the snow and rained, and rusted my new crome rims. Your plan was to rip me off right from the start, so you had him put as many parts on that car knowing you were going to take me to court and have that car auctioned off. You never did what we agreed the engine was still blown, but yet took me to court and won only because I never gave your lawyer my statement. That's what the judge said even after agreeing with what I said was right. He said I had to give your lawyer a wrighten statement, and that's why he awarded you your case. So you now had to auction off the car to pay for the bs amount you came up with that i still owed. Well you were supposed to give me notice on when that car was being auctioned off, and never did. That's the law so I can buy my car back from auction. I doubt you ever auctioned that off to begin with. That's illegal. You never gave me any of my parts back including my almost 5k supercharger that should have never been installed or my now rusted crome rims and brand new tires. As well as thousands of other dollars worth of parts the judge said you were supposed to give back. You even installed my racing seats in your sh*t box Volkswagen race car. I still had to pay 3k according to the court somehow so they took that directly out of my pay from work. All in all you literally ripped me off over 20k. What my car was worth and all those parts plus an additional 3k that I owed you somehow. You know for a fact you can't justify what you did. Nobody at that time sided with you. You can try to lie about it, but everyone that knew what happened including your crew knew you purposely ripped me off. So me being young I got back at you the only way I knew how, because I couldn't win in court thanks to your expensive lawyer.Thats the truth. I am ashamed of what I did to get back at you. I'm not proud of it. But you were crooked and people needed to know. I tell people that story to this day. You were wrong, and people will always know what you did. read more

You will not find a better place to bring your car PERIOD. Lee and his crew are the best thing going in terms of independent European mechanics and he won't stop at anything in order to make sure you are satisfied. Typically I take a day off from work and drive an hour and half down for Lee to work on my vehicles. I spend the day at the shop and really enjoy hanging with the Advanced Tech crew, while seeing first hand how my car is being repaired. He runs his business completely transparent and I promise you will not be disappointed when you leave his facility. One note that is worthy to make is he typically has high demand, especially on Fridays, so it is best to call in advance to set up an appointment and not wait until the last second. read more

Having just moved back to the North Shore, we were unsure of where to go to have my wife's 2002 Audi serviced. Thank god we found this place through a referral from a friend. Lee's wife is extremely nice behind the desk, and the service is so much better than we were used to in the city. Great prices, too. They have an in-depth knowledge of German cars - very specialized. Very happy with repairs done so far: Rotors, alignment, minor repairs, etc... Thanks guys! read more

I found out about Lee Malo and Atech from a fellow Audi owner when I complained about getting hosed by a local Audi dealer on 114. I have a 2004 A8 and Atech has been a lifesaver, not to mention a huge money saver! As most anyone who has ever gone to IRA for service knows, you usually come away thinking that you got ripped off in some way. Lee and wife Victoria run a totally honest, friendly and open shop. Can't say enough about the level of service. Only wish they were in Hamilton/Wenham instead of Gloucester. read more

After watching the my husband and two other family members get regularly mistreated by another mechanic who claimed to specialize in German cars, I finally took my husbands Mercedes to Lee at Advanced Technologies to have a look at a broken hood latch that *said* other mechanic hadn't been able to fix (it's a long story involving wrong parts orderded and terrible customer service). It took Lee all of about 3 minutes and a little lube to get the thing working like new. And he didn't even charge me! It's a great little family-run place, and they'll have all of our business from now on. read more

advanced technologies has been nothing but great in the last 6 years ive known of them, they are very informed and know a great deal about what there doing so you dont have to worry about them throwing parts(and your money) at the car till they get it right, they allways know exactly whats wrong and how to fix it. they are straight forward and no beating around the bush, which is very nice change when it comes to mechanics, I couldnt recomend anyone else over them. I wouldnt let anyone one else work on my car and I learned the hard way when advanced technologies had to fix in 2 days what the other mechanic couldnt even figure out in 2 weeks. good shop and good people that know there stuff in depth, cant beat em read more
