ADVANCE MUFFLER & AUTO SERVICE

unknown

Fast and efficient. Enjoyed talking with owner while work performed (he kept trying to buy my truck). It was raining when I left and my driver's window will not close more than halfway. The mechanic and the owner put plastic around my door to keep me from getting wet, and got wet themselves in the process. Great people to deal with!

This business is a refreshing breath of air for the auto repair business. I dropped off our car and Chris called before I got home with a very fair price and told me it would be ready in a few hours. They called at 4:45 to tell me it was ready and that they would wait for me even though they closed at 5pm. He seemed very professional and yet he expressed his appreciation for my business. I will be taking all of our cars here and not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Have used this business for approximately 10 years. We moved away from the area is the only reason we are not still using them. They have always been honest with me and I really trusted them. They always checked fluids and topped them off even the windshield fluid. Having a hard time finding a replacement for this business!

These guys are great. I called them because of the positive feedback on angieslist. I asked them a few questions about installation of a performance muffler for a truck I had just bought. I explained that I wanted a little more rumble than what came stock on the truck but that and quot;I wasnt a kid and didnt want to be obnoxious to my neighbors.and quot; They knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish and gave me a few recommendations to achieve what I wanted. They also gave me a estimate of cost ($169 plus tax).
On the day I went to have the muffler installed, they were very prompt (I called in advance to see how busy they were for the day). When I arrived, he suggested that we try two different mufflers on the truck and I could listen to both and decide. Ultimately I ended up with a Magnaflow muffler, based partially on their recommendation and partially on what I had read and researched. The entire process was completed in 30 minutes.
I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. Im very happy with the work, the price and their professionalism.

These guys were very knowledgeable about the type of muffler and exhaust setup I was looking for. They were able to give me a few choices and price quotes within minutes.They explained to me and showed me the work that they would perform on my truck to make me feel comfortable in making the decision. There were a variety of brand name parts to choose from. The job took about an hour and did not take up my whole day waiting at an auto repair shop. I was very pleased with the final work and the new exhaust system looked and sounded great.

My complaints were resolved. I ended up spending a lot of money, but I guess that's what it took to get fixed.

I THOUGHT THE LOWER RADIATOR HOSE WAS LEAKING AND STARTED TO REPLACE IT, BUT FOUND OUT THE WATER PUMP WAS WHERE THE LEAK WAS FROM. I TRUST MR. DEATON, SO I TOOK IT TO THEM TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT. THEY HAD IT DONE WITHIN A DAY AND EVEN INSPECTED THE ACCESSORY BRACKET ON THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR FOR ME WHILE THEY WERE WORKING ON THE WATER PUMP.

It went very well from the initial phone call to the service appointment. They were responsive and punctual. I would certainly recommend using this shop.

I had used Chris and Advanced Muffler before for an exhaust repair and they saved me a fortune in that repair. I explained that I was starting to restore a 1980 car and had a bunch of parts that I wanted someone to install. He took the job and explained that urgent customers would come first so the installation would take a while. They installed the parts I had owned and took it upon themselves to clean and paint old parts as they came upon ones that needed cleaning. It was very appreciated! After the job was done, they are now doing more work for me on that same car.

Chris knew that I had been quoted at other places a price that included the entire pipe with the catalytic converter (>$1000) but he was able to fix it for much, much less than that by only replacing a portion of the pipe that was rusty. A couple hours later, I had saved a fortune and had a quiet exhaust!

Not good. Weeks later, the left rear master brake cylinder brakes, soaking the left rear drum with brake fluid. Waited three hours for repair; warranty work, no charge. Days later, the emergency brake pedal "pops" loudly and goes to the floor. Drive back to Advance; they close early on Saturday, drive home. Get out of truck and right rear wheel is way hot and smoking badly. Drive back Monday morning; right rear emergency brake cable had come loose, tearing up the cable, new shoes and drum. Paid $300.00+ to replace both rear brake cables. Afterwards, truck still "shakes" decelerating through 30MPH. Advance says it's the front brakes. Had the front brakes done days later at a more reputable shop. They did the brake job as I requested, but said the shake was due to the right rear drum being not machine turned properly. I believe that to be true.
