I will be a lifetime Yelper, but I've specifically signed up to give my review of Advanced Trucks Inc. I purchased my 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab the year it was made, and began searching lifts that summer. I found Advanced Trucks Inc via a Craigslist ad and bookmarked their website. Fast forward 3 years and I was finally ready to pull the trigger on the lift I wanted. I gave them a call and spoke with Taylor Moles, who would be the person I worked with throughout my experience at this shop. Taylor is a stand up guy who knows his stuff. Always polite and happy to answer questions whenever I had them. I was a little slow with making some decisions and Taylor was nothing but patient with me. I will say this, going into a project like this, it's a good idea to know what your budget is. No matter what you're looking to spend though, Taylor will work with you to complete a project that's within your budget. Also, if your expectations are larger than what you can afford, he won't be shy about telling you so, and not try to sell you on something you don't want. That said, I knew my build was going to empty my wallet! I decided on a 6" BDS lift with coil-overs that include remote DSC...also got the Glide-Ride leaf springs. For the wheels, I chose 18x9 (+18) XD 778s on 35" Open Country AT IIs. Regarding the wheel stance, I was really concerned with offset and the symmetry. This is where I spent a lot of time asking Taylor questions. He had no trouble helping me understand wheel size and offset combinations. I like a little more rubber around the wheel and not sticking out too far. As for the symmetry, I knew the front was going to stick out a little more than the rear, but after looking at it and driving around for a bit, I've decided it's not that big a deal. I'm also a huge SF Giants fan, so when I decided I wanted to powder coat parts of the suspension, Taylor didn't even flinch. I gave him the paint codes, and he helped me select the parts I wanted done. After checking with a few purveyors, Taylor got a very reasonable quote from a shop he's worked with before. The cost was so minimal to the project, how could I not? And I'm so glad I did! An excellent touch to this build. Lastly, I just wanted to include a note about the meticulous work this shop does. Who knows, this could be common place but I was really impressed when the job was done and Taylor reviewed all the work that was done with me...including how everything was torqued to spec and marked with a pen, so you could tell if anything comes lose. He also asked me to come back to check/re-torque everything within 500 miles...which I will be set to do shortly. All in all, I could not have asked for anything better. From top notch customer service to professional quality workmanship, I am super impressed with this shop; and I know I will be coming back to Advanced Trucks Inc for the life of my truck. read more

I have owned lifted trucks for as long as I've been driving(23 years) and have all kinds of experiences with different shops and serving or modifying. After being treated like a complete imbecile by the More well known 4WD shop in San Jose, a friend told me about Advanced trucks. I had a specific issue and Advanced(Taylor) took me in the next day, was friendly and explained several options regarding my tire rub issue. I ended up scheduling a new 3" suspension lift with them for a few days later. They completed the job exactly when they said they would and they were happy to answer a few questions I had, without treating me like the "other" shop. Keep in mind I'm no stranger to working on my trucks but these guys made me happy to spend money to have it done right and quickly, at that! Kudos to Taylor and the whole crew at Advanced Trucks!! Do yourself a favor and call them up vs the "other" 4WD shop Update: These guys are the best in the business! I've now taken our third truck there and can't begin to tell how happy I am! They're professional and on time with their completion. Vehicle works, especially truck modifications, can be tough and hard to nail down but these guys Deliver every time! Thanks again Taylor, Mike and the gang! Photos of trucks #2 and #3 coming soon! Ps- our daughters 4Runner is going there soon too, for a life wheels and tires! read more

I spent just about $10,000 in this shop. I can't say it was a great experience working with Joseph. Joseph told me truck would take 2 1/2 days in the shop, technician didn't show up and ended up having the truck for 6 days. So I had to miss work for 6 days. We agreed the fog light would be wired to my OEM fog light switch, but instead they wired it to an Auxiliary switch saying that flickering would have been an issue. This might be true, might not be... Rigid Industries tech tells me there's an easy fix to the flickering, but Joseph stopped returning my emails to respectfully discuss the issue. I would have felt a little better if he had just called me during install to give me the heads up, or at the very least upon pickup of the truck, not me finding out on my own after getting home with the truck. Now I lost a big feature of my $120,000 truck which kinda sucks. On top of it all, I just found out the Rigid Industries light bars are having a 15% sale and I was charged full price. And the Fab Fours bumper I got has a $250 rebate sale going on, which I also paid full price for. The truck looks great, but they didn't do what we shook hands and agreed upon, I'm feeling like I got ripped off, and now I'm being ignored when trying to follow up with Joseph after they already got my money. Would you want to go back to have work done? read more

I worked with Taylor and his team to get exactly what I wanted for my 2013 F150. Taylor was very generous to take a lot of time (twice) to show me all of my options and what they could do for me. He never once tried to up-sell me on any parts that I didn't need. I originally thought I was going to be able to afford a 4inch lift kit, but what I got through Taylors advise/expertise, was an even better look that what I dreamed of. I was able to get everything I wanted, (and more) with the leveling kit, and new wheels/tires! Even though my project was probably on the "smaller" side of what they can do, I never once felt like it was small to them. I couldn't be happier with my experience at ATI with Taylor, Mike and the rest of the team. They are professionals, and it is obvious they honestly care about each project they do, no matter how big, or small it is! Taylor even was able to "squeeze" me in and complete my project prior to my camping trip to the hills! Kudos to everyone at Advanced Truck Inc. And bonus I was able to support and give my business to a local company!!!! Michael O'. read more

By far one of the best experiences I've ever had customizing my truck. Advanced Trucks professionalism on getting my truck lifted was unsurpassed. They have the knowledge and ability to carry out any task when it comes to customizing your truck. The staff, especially Taylor was extremely helpful throughout the build and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. Taylor recognized my needs and strong desire for quality and workmanship. He held up his end 100%. I wanted the best of the best and Pat & Taylor put a package together for my lift that consisted of a Kelderman 4 way self leveling air lift in the rear and the front was completed with a BDS suspension system. My truck is like riding on a cloud. You guy's ROCK!!! read more

Mike and Taylor spent a great deal of time with me, answering my questions, in order to determine the right setup for my truck. I decided to have the Zone Offroad 3" lift installed, with Fox shocks, and new upper control arms to give me a better ride and more clearance. They mounted, balanced, and installed Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/60R20 tires as part of the upgrade. Since I routinely pull a camper, weighing around 7000lbs, I requested a bit more rake instead of completely level. I am completely satisfied with their professionalism and with the quality of work performed. They even finished the work a few hours sooner than expected. I couldn't be happier! read more

These guys are pros, simple as that. You've got a project that you want done on your truck? I'm sure they've done it before and then some. They keep it real and wont try to sell you on anything thats a bad idea. Taylor's communication is top notch and guided a novice like me through the install process of my lift kit and what to expect. A couple speed bumps came up (nothin to do with the work these guys did) and they assured me all would be well. Their pricing is industry standard, but the service goes above and beyond. Advanced trucks has been an integral part of making my Tacoma into the beast I want it to be. Thanks for everything guys. read more

These guys have been unbelievable! They took the time to help me find the rims I was looking for and the right tires to go with them based on my actual needs and what I was looking for, not what they were try to upsell that particular day. I've been able to call and/or email them for general advice on my truck and just general truck-related topics and these guys just love talking trucks. I have been back a few times for a few minor things and would definitely recommend them for any truck upgrades or servicing. read more

These guys are fantastic! I wanted to have my 2019 truck lifted, but wasn't sure which brand to go with and Taylor provided the pros and cons and help me make a decision. He was available by text message during the build to give me updates and answer any questions that I had. I'm extremely happy with their work and service. One of the best experiences I've had with modifying one of my vehicles. read more

Just upgraded my 2018 F150 with new wheels, tires and ICON Stage 2 Suspension System at Advanced Trucks. Pat Howard did a great job going over the upgrade options for the off road conditions I will be driving. I much appreciated the non-pushy sales, sticking to what is best for my budget and driving conditions. The truck looks great - and the job was completed on schedule. read more

Took my 2018 Ram 4x4 in for a 2.5 inch front leveling lift. Eddie researched the needed kit and set everything up. Appointment took about 3 hours and the technicians did everything right and even delayed lunch for themselves to complete the job. Pretty cool place. Freindly folks. I highly recommend this business.

I purchased the Icon Stage 3 suspension kit for my 13 Tacoma DCSB. Taylor was awesome to work with, extremely helpful, responsive and knowledgable. Very quick turn around time. From the date I ordered, it took about 10 days to get everything shipped, delivered, and installed. Great company, great staff. 10/10 read more
