The service went really well. My escallade is again in top condition. Jim and his team are really honest and highly skilled in automotive works. I started referring them to family and friends for their services. Thanks also to Angie's list for helping me find this highly reliable shop.

Jim fixed probable cause of issue based on what was visually apparent (cleaned rusted and tightened loose connections at starter). Went a step further and offered to visit my house locally here in Palatine if issue reoccurred so that he could diagnose during failure state and apply some of the money spent for troubleshooting toward repair since he already looked into issue -wow. Way to go Advanced Automotive.

Fast estimate and excellent service. When the repair was completed, charged less than the estimate as the work took less time than anticipated. I will defiinitely be using this busniess exclusively for future automotive maintenance and reapirs.

Advanced Automotive was all ready with parts on our scheduled day.  The work went very smoothly and was completed before the end of the day, as promised.  The cost was exactly as quoted, and the brakes have been performing extremely well ever since the work was done.
When I dropped off the car, I had not requested a loaner car (not realizing they were available).  When I told Dave that I just planned to wait, he asked if I would like a loaner, and naturally I accepted.  When a problem developed with the loaner car, Dave said, "Why don't you go ahead and just take my car?"  That worked out great, of course.
These guys are terrific, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs some work done on a car.

We had our van towed into the shop. After looking at the vehicle, the shop let us know that the problem would be fixed by Honda for free (based on a class action lawsuit that had been settled). The shop had already called Honda to let them know what they found and that we could be bringing in our vehicle. This business is clearly run with integrity! We could not have asked for better service. We will definitely be returning!

He knows his stuff.  I liked to be educated a little bit more about what he does because I like to learn.  He does teach but I just like to learn more.   

They are a lot less in terms of price compared to the dealership.  They are always good about calling and they are there when you need them.  They are right on time.

"Well this is my first response to a negative review so I did my home work and found that we did not repair your vehicle we gave you a quote for the repair ,with this in mind this was a 1995 Toyota Avalon with 250 thousand miles on the vehicle, the quote had some time in it for dealing with all the rust and rusty bolts that we were sure would break off removing the arms I am sorry for the high estimate but here at advanced auto we have adults that work here and we pay adult wages Thank you for giving us the chance to give you a estimate maybe next time we can help you thanks."

Work was done on time and as quoted.   Talking with people at Advanced Automotive, both on the phone and in person was direct, pleasant and professional. While at the desk when bringing my car in and when I picked it up, I notice a number of other customers who were obviously repeat customers and they all seemed very satisfied and confident working with this shop.

This shop is in a neat, clean and professional location and everything seemed very well organized.

Overall, it was apparent that these folks really enjoy cars and in providing excellent value to customers with honest, friendly service.

The work was done on time and at a VERY reasonable cost. I began taking my vehicle to this shop based on a referral from a family member.  The work has always been done well, appointments are convenient, and the costs are very reasonable.
