If you are in need of an automotive repair, may I encourage you to read this review?…read more My friend introduced me to Kutter and Kambria at Advanced Automotive Repair in Oakhurst when I moved to Coarsegold. I've since brought both of my cars to Advanced for routine maintenance. Each time, for each car, a routine diagnostic review of the car was performed, and any irregularities were noted. This emulates, exceeds dealership customer service and definitely "raises the bar". Both Kambria and Kutter, have and continue to make me feel like I am their only client. Always engaging, patient, avid listeners, knowledgeable and when it comes to diagnosing a concern, their collective perspective is like "a homing device on a torpedo". Their team's work acumen and ethics are "a cut above" in the automotive industry; the focus; pleasing the customer. And, their pricing is beyond competitive. When I took my 2014 Charger SXT to Advanced for the first routine service, they noted that the upper control arms and ball joints needed to be replaced, suggested a brake system flush, wheel alignment and rear shocks. When I purchased the car in 2018 (pre-owned), I also purchased a Chrysler "Max Care" lifetime warranty. I called Glenn Thomas Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Long Beach who regularly serviced the car and asked if the control arm, ball joint repair was covered by the warranty and was assured it was. I thanked Kambria for the alert, advised her I would be taking the car to Fresno for the repair, the cost of which almost paid for the warranty. When I brought the car to the Fresno dealership, the service writer offered to beat the cost that Kambria quoted for the brake flush and alignment. I thanked him and advised him that I had already agreed to have the two repairs done at Advanced. When I called Kambria from the dealership and shared the offer, she said she would "completely understand if I had the dealership do the alignment and brake flush since the car was there". In today's "fast and loose" business community, who does that? My response to Kambria; an agreement is an agreement. I brought the car to Advanced for the two repairs. Kambria and Kutter consistently make me feel like I am their only customer. How many members of that club are still around? If you are looking for an extraordinary customer service experience, make Advanced Automotive Repair your first stop. You'll be glad you did!

My friend suggested Bill and Hank's because it was in walking distance. My other option was a tow to Fresno to a hybrid specialist who couldn't take me for several days, and a rental car, if one was available. I took a chance on Hank's thinking he must work on most kinds of cars being in a community that serves a lot of vacationers. Cutting to the chase: Hank was knowledgeable, had the diagnostic equipment for my car and had the problem taken care of in minutes. He read the codes, saw the car had gotten too hot previous day, cleared the codes saving me a bucket of money. Hank was very patient, kind and I highly recommend this shop. When you're far from home, don't know what's wrong with your car, at the mercy of an honest mechanic, they are ever more greatly appreciated! He told me if he couldn't fix what was wrong, he would tell me and let me find another mechanic. This service has been in North Fork for years. Hank is such a credit and asset to the community.

Since my car went in for her regular maintenance just a week ago, I know I'd pass inspection. We are lucky to have a smog garage near us. Advanced Auto Center has been our go-to garage for our car's care. They certainly take care of our cars. The owners and staff are friendly, efficient, and shows they care about their clients. I'd definitely recommend them for your car care. I am including their business cards here because I find myself spelling their names incorrectly. That is bad on my part.

Both Kutter and Kambria are friendly, engaging, great listeners and above all, knowledgeable. I brought my 2014 Dodge Charger for service. What I received was way more. When I returned to pick up my car, I found Kambria had performed a diagnostic of my car. She explained that is standard procedure for all customers. Thanks to the extra customer service, I learned that the ball joints and upper control arms needed replacement, as well as an alignment, brake fluid system flush and air filter housing. Fortunately, when I purchased my car I also purchased a Chrysler Max Care warrantly. The ball joints and upper control arms were covered by the warranty. So off to the CDJR dealership in Fresno I went. While there, the service advisor said he would match costs for brake fulid flush, alignment and air filter housing. From the dealership, I called Kambria about the offer. She told me she would perfectly understand if I chose to have the dealership perform the repairs, since the car was already there. I thanked her and I assured her that I already agreed to have Advanced handle the additional repairs, and an agreement, is an agreement. I thanked the service writer for his kindness and explained that the three additional repairs were promised to Advanced. I brought the car back to Advanced and once again Kambria handled the repairs. As an aside, I also wanted to install a back up camera for my PT Cruiser; not an easy feat since the car sits close to the ground. Kutter researched, found and installed the perfect back up camera. I've been around for a while and over the years have worked with various repair shops. Right from the beginning, Kutter and Kambria treated me like I was their only customer. How many members of that club are still around? If you are looking for an extraordinary auto repair shop experience, delivered by people that genuinely care about the customer, make Advanced Auto your first stop. You'll be glad you did!
