Honest, Trustworthy and Great Customer Services – I've taken my car here a few times and I've always been very happy with their customer service and automotive repair service. They tell me exactly what is going on and have never done unnecessary work on my car. I recommend them to anyone who is in need of a quality and trustworthy auto repair shop.

Great people, great business – We got tired of being milked at the BMW dealership and have since switched to AAC. They are a family-owned, very ethical and straightforward business and understand the value of a dollar. They also have technically trained employees and updated equipment. They're a pleasure to do business with!

Nice to face, not so nice on phone, a little sloppy – I chose this place to fix my car after an accident because of the recommendations here. They did OK work, but we had to bring it back a few times for them to continue fixing things that they themselves said, "oh, wow, yeah you're right." Also, be prepared: Steve is very pleasant in person, but very difficult on the phone-- defensive, talks over you, doesn't listen... says he wants you to be happy but then goes on and on about how much he's done for you already. My blood p... read more

Execllent and best auto service from Advanced Auto – i have been taking my old car to Advanced auto for almost 4-5 years now and it has always been serviced so well that i can not imagine taking my car some where else. No matter how far i am, if my car needs to be serviced,i make sure i go to Advanced. Steve , Mike and thier team are relentless in thier work and make you feel important. if it werent for them i dont think i would still be driving my 1995 year old car- which btw still drives as good and as reliable as if it is... read more

Great experience servicing my Jeep Wrangler – I just had a great experience with Advance Auto Center so I thought I'd share. After reading numerous good reviews online, I decided to take my Jeep there for maintenance. I moved up to Boston from Maryland a couple years ago and I have put off finding a good mechanic for awhile for fear of getting ripped off. In MD, there are a ton of shops that specialize in lifted/off road vehicles (my Jeep is lifted) and I was also looking to find someone up here who had actually seen a lift ... read more

Not Recommended – I have heard good things about Advance Auto and while they are pleasant people over there I have had a surprise bill EVERY time I have brought my car there. Each time I am quoted a price and confirm that the quote is including labor and everything, the price tends to be $50-$100 more when I go to pick my car up. The last time I was there they tried to charge me $130 more than what I was quoted and they performed work on the car without giving me a call first to check if that was ok with me. I am not sure if... read more

Honest & reliable – Advance Auto Center is busy for a reason, because they are good! I've been bringing my cars here since the early 90s, and have never had any problems with their service. They always come in at or below the estimates Steve has given when I've dropped the car off and the car is always ready when they say it will be. They also have loaner cars, but schedule ahead if you need one.

HONEST, Reasonable Auto Repair – My cousin has been using Advanced Auto Center for years, and can't say enough good about them. My family has a mechanic we have trusted and used for years... but he doesn't work on Volkswagon cars. My mom has a VW Passat, which has been to the dealship with countless problems. Tired of paying top dollar and having to make multiple trips to dealer for same problem.. had her bring it to Mike and Steve. They fixed the car on the first visit... only wish we'd switched to them sooner.
