One of the cleanest shops in Havasu. Tim has never failed me. Knowledgeable and doesn't waste his time or our money.

Scott is a patient, quiet, strong individual. His employees are knowledgeable, courteous, and…read moreexplain things clearly. I was towing my travel trailer with my 2002 F250 4X4 from Kansas City to Spokane, WA via Lake Havasu City to visit a friend for a day. Upon arrival on Friday after 11 hours of hard driving I incorrectly tried backing my travel trailer up a very, very steep driveway. Transmission oil started dripping onto my exhaust pipe and started a small fire. After putting out the fire I checked the tranny oil. It was light brown but didn't smell burnt. Saturday morning I called Advance Transmission to get their Monday morning opening time. To my surprise Scott, the owner, called me back almost immediately. He said he would meet me at the shop to look at my truck. After looking at it he said I could still drive it but I should bring it in on Monday to put up on the rack. Monday morning rack inspection revealed an obvious transmission seal leak. Since the tranny had to be pulled to replace the seal I suggested he rebuild the transmission (his shop rebuilds). He also installed a heavy duty torque converter and a auxiliary transmission oil cooler. Although it took days to get some of the parts, I was very satisfied with their work. His price might have been a tad on the high side but he is worth it. I returned to Spokane after two long hard days of driving. The transmission is better than new. Tight, quick shifts without lags. I recommend Scott and his employees without reservation.

I called several automotive shops in lake havasu and he seemed to be the most knowledgeable when I…read morewas explaining my need. He got me right in an performed all the work that I needed. The quote he gave me was spot on when I picked up the SUV. He explained to me everything he had done and if I had any questions later to feel free to contact him or drop bye. Very smooth transaction between us. A+ service and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing service work.

So last night after we pulled the boat out of the water, pulled up to the clean-up area, and we got…read morean error message on the dash if the Suburban. ..."Service Battery/Charging System", so I did one of the dumbest things I have ever done and tried to clear the message by cycling the ignition, now she's dead! We flagged down a Park Ranger for a jump, no luck, won't jump start. So, my wife, my two kids and their three friends, are now stuck on a deserted boat ramp at 10pm on a Saturday night.....while still over 100 degrees. I call my buddy, Darrell Robinson , who I haven't seen in years, and he picks up the phone, while sitting at home watching the UFC fight. Within a few minute's, he's at the ramp, hooked us up to a starter box, and we limp the suburban and boat to his shop! Both the battery and the alternator are dead, so he puts in a new battery and we limp home to get some rest! This morning, Darrell goes and picks up a new alternator, installs it, and we are able to hit the road today and go home! I don't really know what to say here, I am actually speechless right now. Darrell saved me at least two tow truck charges, for the truck and the boat, he inconvenienced himself and his wife on Saturday night and Sunday morning, fixed me up so we can make it home on schedule. Some of you will know the feeling of standing around a broken down vehicle, with 6 others next to you, late at night, in the heat, without tools, or parts, where you are trying to devise a short term plan.....hopefully the rest of you never have to experience this. You went way above and beyond Darrell, and I won't forget it. My family and I are very grateful! If you are ever in Lake Havasu and are in need of automotive service, please call my friend Darrell.

My truck started slipping on my way home. I called and scheduled a service the next day. The guy…read moresaid, I just need it for a couple of hours, I'll get you in our rotation. If you need it rebuilt, it'll be around $3,500. I showed up at 8. He explained the rebuild process. No call by noon. I walked back down there. The service wasn't done. Here is a summary of what he told me: I didn't do the service. Why would I if you need it rebuilt? I mean, we haven't looked at it yet, though. The transmission fluid was 2 quarts low and filthy. I asked what if it was just low? He said, then you definitely need it rebuilt. I asked to buy two quarts of ATF. He told me to come back after lunch as he unwrapped a burrito. I checked the fluid. It was bright red and by no means was it filthy. Do I need a transmission rebuild? Maybe. Maybe I don't. But, this place is beyond shady. I can't in any way recommend it. I can and will advise anyone to stay clear of this place.

Took it back to Scott as it was under warranty. Again he had it for a month but did NOTHING to it. Lied to us the entire time saying he was waiting for parts. We had to pick our car up and now will have to pay full price for repairs because Scott cannot be trusted. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!

Everyone was thorough and told us step by step what they were going to do. I would definitely recommend this shop.

I picked up my Ford Sport Trac yesterday J 6/8/26. It was…read morethere for a transmission rebuild. The quote was $5000. Along the way, Bill the owner decided we needed a driveline carrier bearing. He said you can't just replace the bearing. It would require a whole new driveshaft...$800. Not true. I subsequently found out that the bearing IS replaceable. And the driveshaft when I picked up the truck was $900, not the $800 quoted. So, out the door for $6,000+. Without leaving town, after doing errands, I noticed a "kick" when shifting into Reverse. I returned to explain the symptom to Bill. He acted as if I was stupid saying, I don't understand what you mean. I had previously run into a problem with Bill as part of this transaction. He called to ask if anyone had called me. I said "no". He said my truck had been ready for pickup the previous day. He was insistent that I pick it up that day. It was already late in the afternoon on a Friday and Bill knew I lived an our and a half away. I offered to pick it up on Saturday, the next day. He said they are closed on weekends. I said I'll be there Monday. He said "will you definitely be here, cause we usually charge $20 a day for storage". I was flabbergasted but said " I'll definitely be there". Which I was. Anyway, back to the Reverse "kick" when shifting issue. One of there techs test drove it and immediately took it into the shop and put it on a lift. The owner and techs "diagnosed that the transfer case (4 wheel drive) needed a rebuild. The "chain" was sloppy. It would be another $2,000. They had just HAD the transfer case out as part of the other work. They stated it didn't occur to them that there might be anything wrong with the transfer case as part of their work. Bill said this. Bill said, because it's the transfer case, if I don't fix it, it will void my so-called 3 year 1warranty. I decided that based on my overall experience with Bill, I would not feel confident spending one more dollar with him and his business. I asked that they bring my truck out front and I left. As other reviewers have mentioned, Bill has no business working with customers. He is arrogant and treats you as if your stupid. His techs are great. But there is a real lack of communication. Nobody calls with status. I was told they weren't busy so my truck would be in and out in two days. After a week and a half, I finally called them and was told it would be ready the next day. That's when they "discovered" I would need a new driveline. Would I do business with GET IT IN GEAR again? Not as long as Bill is the owner. Not a chance. It's sad, because I was looking for a relationship. I restore vintage cars and I have other transmissions that will need work.

I went to Havasu Auto and asked if I could get help with a noise that has been plaguing my car for…read moreyears. I have spent thousands of dollars at other shops who seem to keep making things worse. I recently had Struts put on the vehicle at a different shop and they were not tightened down properly. The technician had me come with him for the test drive and found that one of the noises was the struts that had not been tightened down by the other shop. The other clanking noise was the horn not being tightened enough. After that they put the car up on a rack and found it leaking Transmission fluid. While turns out the shop that had recently done an axle put on the wrong one. I won't mention there names but the two shops were corporate shops. Stay with Havasu Auto a local honest repair service. The administrative Assistant (She does a lot more then just scheduling) in the front when you walk in is very friendly and helpful with everything you need. She was great with my kids upon pickup as well. She called around about this mysterious axle that had been replaced by two shops already. Finally after having the aftermarket replaced they opted to go with a Mazda Axel. The courtesy vehicle that was provided was a nice touch as we did have things to attend to. I was given updates through Text messaging and when the initial inspection was done I was sent a link to see the issues they found. This link had detailed notes and pictures. As you can see in the pictures from other people, when you pick up a nice note is left. The team at Havasu Auto is exactly what I have been looking for in a mechanic or Auto shop. I had fears before this I would never find a mechanic like the one back home. We are hopeful that they have saved my vehicle from what the other axels did to it. Thank you so much. I forgot to mention that I have seen the owner John on site quite often. He is not afraid to get out of his chair and do business or give a customer a ride home while there vehicle is serviced, rather then staff taking away from other work.

Great customer, service! I brought my car in from the dealership as I suspected some unnecessary…read moresuggestions for service and Auto Care took care of me and provided me the service that was only necessary. I like supporting this local business!
