Of course it broke during the coldest parts of our trips, but fortunately, we found Travis at Advance Diesel Service. This guy is by far the best customer service rep for his industry I've ever met! Though he didn't have the very specific part that we needed, he helped us "MacGyver" together a few pieces so that our heater was finally working again! He refused to charge us anything, and even allowed us to hang out in his parking lot all day while we tried a few different options until we found one that worked! Bonus points to Travis because he also has the most adorable gray pup that plays with you while your husband and Travis figure out how to fix the heater. But seriously -- this guy was top notch, so friendly, and we can't recommend him enough!

Their kindness, professionalism, and commitment to their customers have earned our trust for life.

They asked for an extra hour to measure the axle as they said they don't make them any more.

I found the axles are readily available for $600 with $300 shipping out of Texas and all the other parts, (most of which are good) are available locally.

I came in looking for some spark plugs and ignition coils that I had called ahead about a few days prior. After waiting for someone to come out and greet me for around 15 minutes, I was told by a snarky read headed young dude at the counter that "nothing is kept put aside after a day or two" and they didn't have all the parts I needed. This place just sucks all around. Go to the Napa on Fairbanks instead. They're super cool over there and will actually have the stuff you need. Oh! And when I went to pay for the parts they actually did have for me, I asked about a military discount because I'm active duty, and was angrily asked for my ID, which is fine but almost never happens anywhere else.

The saving grace for this two star review is based on one person, his name is Lee…read more Stacey actually was the first one to pick up. From the minute he picked up the phone I could tell this would not go down very well. Instead of addressing the customer first, the first thing I heard was him yelling about how the system went down. And how he wasn't printing anything because his computer does not print. That was certainly not expected. Being that I did some research on my product, I already had looked up the specs, knew the pricing, and new the part number. The only thing I had asked was if the part was on hand in their shop or if any of the other Anchorage Napa's had the part. He proclaimed it was hard to do with their systems being down that he will put me on hold to ask. Well he did keep me on hold. A few minutes later Lee enthusiastically picked up asking if I was being taken care of. I told him that Stacey was asking someone about a part and Lee quickly took charge. He also noted that the system was down, but said he could still check in another way so he then placed me hold. Just a few seconds later, Stacey came on again and said it would take 20 minutes because he couldn't do anything with the system being down. I said that was fine, Lee was also looking. All Stacey said was okay, and hung up on me. Really though? There is never a reason to be unhelpful, inattentive or rude to a customer. Especially one who (I think) is pretty pleasant and understanding. Thankfully, Lee still had me on hold. He let me know that the 5th Avenue location did not have the part on hand, however Dowling and Spenard did! And while my part was only requested my manufacturer, that they did have a Napa brand, with a 3 year warranty. He also let me know that there was a "bucket sale" going on. You buy a bucket for $2.99 and anything you can put in the bucket ends up being 20% off. Doing the math, bucket included, I end up saving an extra $30ish. Hell I'll search for anyway really to make a sale. Lee went above and beyond - between being super curious on the phone, searching for my part, finding a similar yet still compatible part for my needs, and also saving me money! I really could not thank him enough for being so helpful, and certainly let him know how much Stacey sucked. He joked that he hears that a lot. That's truly unfortunate.If I were to base my experience solely on Lee's poor service over the phone and Lee did not pick up, I would certainly take my business elsewhere. Lee, if I could I would give you all the stars on this review. But in general, I've certainly experienced better treatment at Auto Zone, O'Rielly's and half the time, at Walmart.

I would highly recommend this company and they now have a forever customer in me. I have no connection with this business in any way and actually would have preferred not to use any body shop at all given the circumstances. Since I did need my car repaired, I am so happy I chose Chaz. I know it's going to be impossible to believe, but I would almost go as far to say my car is better after my repair than it was before it went in! It's important to understand that I own a year-old Audi Q5 and when it was hit recently causing 5k in front-end damage, I was very concerned about who was going to fix it and make sure it was done right. I had heard good things about Chaz on 5th from a coworker so I elected to have them fix my car. Since they are a preferred provider for USAA the process was very smooth to get the car into the shop. I met with the manager and told him up front I would be extremely picky about the gaps and lines on the car and if it was not perfect, I would be expecting it to be redone. He assured me that I need not worry and even took me outside to show me a 2 year old Porsche that had just been worked on by his shop. It looked great. They called me regularly and kept me up to date on the status of the repair. Also, they are very courteous, the shop is clean and lobby is nice to wait in. The job was done pretty close to the time alloted and I could not be any happier. I'm thrilled and relieved my Audi looks as good as new and except maybe an automotive paint professional, I would be surprised if anyone could tell a difference. They guarantee the work for life and I know I will never need that guarantee. Thanks Chaz!

It was a really job so I had them take it back in and what they told me is they couldn't do nothing because the frame was bent and they should've noticed it so either somebody didn't look and should've looked. I was told or they just didn't look at all and didn't care so I paid almost $5000 to fix a totaled vehicle. I don't need to tell you they didn't give me a refund. They did tell me they would reach back out to me but this is Chaz being Chaz from the reviews. I've read after my experience. I will never take my vehicles back over there again and I suggest you I've used them for the third time. The first time was a bad experience the third time was a bad experience so I'm batting about 33% with them so I hope you have better luck than me if you use them, but I wouldn't suggest it
