Sanford unruh

My wife and I have brought our cars to them many times, NEVER disappointed in their expertise and fairness in cost.

Chris Mackey

Quick and honest service. Very reasonable prices.

Matthew Ellorin

Top notch, excellent service. I was in need of a brake and lamp inspections for the DMV and received the certification needed. Availability for scheduling an appointment for it was great and Dave was fantastic and helpful. I would definitely recommend Advanced Auto and Smog.

Michael L

They always do good work. Fair prices and they stand behind their work. The business has recently expanded across the street to another building where they do Smogs, wheel alignment, breathalyzer censor resets, air bag resets, and new car computer resets... I have been getting my cars worked by Advanced Auto for as long as he has been open. I highly recommend talking to Dave he knows everything about most vehicles. Give them a try.

Charles Woody

bryan Montgomery

Dave is always helpful in responding to our problems with our vehicles and quick to make repairs. We have trucks that we work with for our business and he is very accommodating great guy to work with.

Cory Cregor

Great customer service! Professional and efficient! I hreatly appreciate that they answer their phone, because I left my home-town without an appointment and drove 30 min out of the way, to get my vehicle handled here at Advance Auto & Smog. TOP OF THE LINE SERVICE. I'm thankful for the service they provided my family. FAST, FAIR, AND EFFICIENT; I will definitely be coming back to complete my LIGHT INSPECTION, and for future vehicle maintenance. In the meantime, MY FAMILY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR SERVICE!

Yolanda McCormick

Get customer service with great prices all in all one of the best mechanic shops

Juanluis Valencia

They do good quality work

Jeffrey Beutler

Dave has been smogging my vehicles since I moved to the 559 back in probably 2016. He's your typical small shop owner, takes care of his customers, does whatever he can to make it easy on you! Plus I think he's the least expensive smog in the town. There's always super cool cars to peep at in the lot too, which is a bonus for car enthusiasts like myself, and the techs are always plenty friendly. They rarely pass by without a "hello, how are yall". Thanks for always being my smog guy Dave!!

Good my car work

Avigail Cruz M.

I brought my vehicle in to advanced auto because I couldn't get any help from my dealership. My check engine light came on after a visit to my dealership for a recall issue. They gave me an appointment for a week later and wouldn't look at my vehicle right then. Advanced auto checked my vehicle which took all of 5 minutes and fixed the problem which was caused by my dealership. Advanced auto did not even charge me for their service. I would recommend advanced auto to anyone who wants honest and professional workmanship.

Orlan Dowdy

Always good work

Thomas Norton

I read a few comments about their being rudeness in this business first I would like to say the owner isn't bad as some people tried to make him out to be we all have different way of talking or carrying ourselves I went in today 1-9-23 for a brake and lamp inspection which is a time consuming ordeal. I spent alot of the time there interacting with different staff and the owner as well. We talked about their time spent with their racing team and his son he was informative and interacted with me fine without being rude or disrespectful and I know I talk alot. The guy that did my inspection was awesome and fun to be around it almost felt as if I were in a family's garage having a regular day. Another thing I would like to mention is cost you seriously cannot beat their prices or quality needless to say I would most definitely come back and recommend people to this shop thank you again everyone there ! I had a brake light out which could have failed my inspection instead they fixed it on the spot no headache or hassle

Aaron Chaney

Great costumer service. I had a brake and light inspection done and they were very fast ,Very friendly and courteous staff.I highly recommend this business, very honest and very affordable . Thank you !

Anna Saldana

If you need a intoxilock go here. They are the best in town.

Seth

If you need official brake and light adjustment certificates, this is the place. I called several mechanics before one gentleman told me to call Advanced Auto & Smog. I called and spoke to Dave. He let me know they do the brake and light adjustment certificates first thing in the morning. They were done within an hour. Overall, I was satisfied with their service and the workers there were friendly as well!

Soy Art

Fast and Friendly service.

devon shahan

I was in and out within 10 minutes. Dave quoted me a price more than 1/2 off what I was used to paying at my local shop- wish I knew about them a year ago. Now I know where to refer friends and family.

Brenda Ponce

Dave never disappoints. One stop for brake light and smog checks. Great guys for anything you need.

Richard Kincaid

I needed a break and light inspection done to update my tags after being in an unforseen accident, I called asking about the services provided, made arrangements and my car passed both inspections. I would recommend this business to friends/ family anytime. I'd also like to add, really good on customer service.

Jerry Parkison

Car was misfiring.... Could have been several things. Turns out spark plugs did the trick. Nothing complicated and no BS from these guys. Everyone I talked to was cool and down to earth. It's been years since I've needed a mechanic, and with my previous mechanic retired, I'm feeling good about these guys.

Robert Jesus

Excellent service! Dave was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Within an hour of dropping my truck off to get the AC repaired, he called me with a price on parts and labor to get my AC blowing cold again and he had it ready in the same afternoon! Picked up my truck and it's never blown colder air! Thanks for the quick service! My AC needed a new fan and they were thorough enough to check pressure and freon level and recharged it accordingly. Most other shops would have just replaced the part and that's it.

Nick Sanchez

Great and fast service plus great hospitality

Joel Rodriguez

I trust all of my vehicles with Advance Auto & Smog. They are friendly, efficient, and fairly priced. You can trust Dave to treat you right.

Summer Martinez

I've used these guys for years. Always honest repairs, fast and reasonably priced. Just a great place to have work performed.

Jim Bartell

I used to be a dedicated Toyota 'dealer devotee' for both of our cars, a 2004 4-Runner and a 2017 Prius. This was until our local dealership service department began the practice of upselling us for things already done or unnecessary, thereby losing our trust. While Advanced Auto and Smog may lack the pretty amenities of the local Toyota Dealership, when it comes to honesty and trust I am happy we switched. Another bonus is his prices are fair and not hyper inflated as a dealer's, with their high parts and corporate overhead. Good reliable 'small town' style service, fair prices, and Dave values your business.

Michael & Stephanie Wall

Great people and great service! I'm honestly pleasantly surprised. Mechanics always seem to want to nickel and dime customers but these guys were amazing and went above and beyond. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Tyler Poirier

They are amazing here! Quick, incredibly communicative & affordable. I've gone twice & they fix my issues every time. Could not recommend enough!

Dan Hull

Dean Staberg

Had an issue with wiring in my ignition control harness, along with the ignition coils and spark plugs. They got me in and got my car fixed at a very reasonable price. I originally took my car to firestone and they totally tried robbing me, Advanced auto was able to fix what firestone said they couldn't. Dave is very friendly and will give it to you straight and honest. I'm never taking my car to another mechanic ever again, advanced auto and smog is the way to go.

I was able to get my tags and insurance just in time to give my daughter the car as a gift for her birthday!!! We are very happy! Thank you!!

Mares Wash & Detail

yasmin palafox

Great service?diligently looked for my problem, found it, researched it and fixed it! Although it was an expensive repair on my Lexus RX350, it was well worth knowing and having a knowledgeable, skilled and experienced mechanic fix it. I?m certain the dealer would have charged more. We highly recommend everyone to go Advanced Auto.

Raylene Burke

This place is awesome these guys know what they are doing highly recommend them and prices are great

Jason Bliler

We have gone to Advanced Auto & Smog for awhile. I would recommend anyone to them.

Christine Brillhart

Took my 2007 chrysler 300 to advanced after being recommended. They were able to quickly diagnose the electrical issue. Dave said that my engine was a unicorn kinda so I would have to source my own part as he had no supplier. He did not even charge me for diagnosis and said come back and he'd add it to repair bill. After looking I sourced a part took it to them they installed it and my car is good as ever. I would recommend advanced auto to anybody needing a fair and honest shop.

Jon Burtlow

Really friendly and courteous staff.. Very efficient in their work and was able to get the kind done in a few hours!!

I had a hard time trying to pass smog and needed help diagnosing the problem. I tried other shops on the suggestion of others and spent money replacing parts that didn?t fix the issue.

Christe Byerlee

Mike Cesena

Compared to most shops today, pretty good.

Warlock King

Dave and his team at Advanced Auto are true professionals that you can trust do the best work for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Brian Icenhower

I've been using Advanced Auto for fourteen years because I've always been treated well, my cars have been successfully repaired in a timely fashion at what I considered a fair price (or a bit of a bargain), and once, when he remembered a bit of a trick about fixing a rough running Previa by resetting a fuse or something in the fuse panel by sticking a toothpick into a hole and pushing down, he gave it back to me at no charge. Didnt have to "fix" it or replace anything, so no charge. Now I call that decent, honest business. It's why I keep coming back.

GERALD GIBBONS

Efficient, competent, fair price.

John Arnold

Dave Eliason & his staff are competent, friendly and most importantly trustworthy. All mechanical work these days is expensive. Trusting the work done is the most important aspect for me. I would hesitate to recommend Advanced Auto & Smog.

Truman Jennings

I have been bringing my vehicles to Dave at Advanced Auto for 10 years. He is honest and does more than quality work.

Give them a try.

Jim M.

Great place. Friendly staff. Fair prices. Highly recommend.

Tim J.

These guys are quick and efficient. Asked for my car to have a pretest and if it passes to go ahead and smog it. LOWEST price on smog in Visalia hands down. Check em out and you won't be disappointed!
