They were not able to fix my car here but I wanted to give a good review. Having recently moved here its hard to know where to go. I came here because of the good reviews and even though they couldnt fix my car I am so glad I came. All they had to do was take one look under my car to figure out the issue. They recommend where to go and even called the place to get a quote for me. I am so grateful for this easy process and kind people. I will definitely be back here if I have future car issues.

I could no longer go to Hondew which is in the same shopping center because I sold my Honda. They recommended I go see Jim and Im glad I did. Jim and his two sons are passionate about cars and run a no nonsense business. I even had them do a custom alternator install which most shops refuse to touch.

If you want quality work, fast service, and reasonable pricing, this is the shop to go to.

I was referred by a friend to Jim and his repair shop in 1989, and from the first visit and each one after that I knew I had met the Gold Standard for auto repair work! Honest, reliable, dependable, and has absolute integrity. There is not enough space here for all the good things I could say, and 5 stars is definitely half the number they deserve. I moved away from Dallas in 2006 and have never found a comparable repair shop and owner, but I just cant drive 200 miles one-way for my auto repairs.

Mazda dealership lied to my ex about the repairs needed to her car, they quoted about $1500 in parts in labor to solve a small oil leak. Given the age and mileage (which was low) of the car they recommended looking into buying something else!I googled the issue on that make and model and found that it was generally resolved by a simple gasket replacement. So I asked around for a honest mechanic and a friend could not say enough about this place.I brought her car to them and, surprise surprise, the issue was exactly what I found on the forums. Total repair was 150$ total in parts and labor and was done in two days, most of which was waiting for the part to arrive.I will be taking all my future repair work here and will be recommending them to everyone I can.

We have used Advanced Auto for 24 years now and they always do outstanding work and their honesty, integrity and value is unmatched. We highly recommend Advanced Auto to everyone we know. We live in Allen and drive to their location in Dallas near the Texas Instruments campus because we know the repairs are done right. Advanced exceeded our expectations again today. I took my daughters 1999 Honda to McKinney for the dealer to perform the air recall work. After inspecting the vehicle the Honda Service Dept handed me a list of $3700.00 worth of recommended repairs - front brakes and rotors almost $900 and front axle for almost $800. There were a few other things on the list. I took the car to Advanced and they replaced the rotors, brakes, and axle for around $600. Great people, great work and very reasonable.

No fluff, they just get the job done. Reasonable prices and quick turnaround time.

If youre looking for a mechanic with integrity - look no further! Advanced Auto was upfront an honest when I went to them for a second opinion about my alternator. For a company to turn away business really shows how honest they are. Even though I didnt end up getting my car serviced by them today, I will DEFINITELY be bringing my car back to them in the future. By turning away my business today, they have earned my business tomorrow :)

Ive been going to Advanced Automotive for many years ...since about 2006. Jim is the best. Hes honest and gets the job done correctly. Your worries are over ..having a used car is not a problem anymore.. just take it to Jim and hell give you the whole story. ask any question you want hell give you the straight honest answer. if he cant do it if its Bodywork transmission or something that his shop doesnt handle. he will direct you to the best. Ive always had good luck with any of the people hes recommended.

Jim and his team are top notch. I have been a loyal customer since the late 90s after two locations of another shop were unable to resolve an engine problem (that other shop was either dishonest or incompetent and had claimed it was a transmission problem). Jim quickly identified the problem and got it resolved. I moved to Frisco in 1998 and I still go ~30 miles to Jim b/c he has proven himself time and time again and I know I can trust him to give me wise counsel. He lays out the options without pressure so that I can decide whether to put the money into fixing a problem on an older vehicle vs. to start shopping for a replacement. I have referred a lot of friends to Advanced Automotive over the years and I always get great feedback from them, just as I expected because I know Jim can be trusted. I am a customer for life! I just cant believe I have not thought of leaving a review before!

Jim and Jay are awesome!! I have known them for long time!! Honest people!! Highly recommend!!!

Great place for car repair. Everything is warranted for 1 year (parts and labor)

Absolutely terrific place very honest and very good family-owned and has been working on my car for 10 years and never gave me a hassle good job guys definitely five stars

Jim and his staff are the absolute best! They are super smart, totally honest, very accommodating, and affordably priced! They treat you like family. :-) I would not take my car anywhere else, and when I need a car service that Jim does not do, he promptly has a reliable person to recommend. On three occasions I have used the person that Jim recommended, and have been just as pleased in every case. God bless Jim and his staff!! :-)

Honest and reliable. Never overcharges - straight arrow. We would not consider taking our vehicles to anyone but Jim.

Absolutely amazing people! Extremely trustworthy. Southern hospitality at its absolute finest. I’m from New York and was screwed over by a towing company. The owner and his worker genuinely lend me a helping hand and did their best to help me out. 10 out of 10 service and friendliness. Thank you!

They does an amazing job. Always get the job done quickly and very reasonable too!!

I travelled to Dallas from four hours away in order to purchase a used car. I do not have a mechanic in Dallas, and I needed a PPI / buyers inspection with short notice before I bought the car. A scan of online reviews and several calls to check schedule and pricing led me to Advanced Auto Repair. Jim confirmed that the used car is under warranty, and based on his knowledge of that specific warranty he said his team would look at the car for structural issues, red flags, etc., but because it likely didnt need the much more detailed inspection he wouldnt charge me for it. As soon as I arrived, they drove it, looked it over, put it up on a lift, and inspected it. They spent twenty minutes checking it--which is much more than I expected from a spur-of-the-moment, quick inspection. They found a couple of issues that did not dissuade me from buying the car but did help me make sure I bought it at an appropriate price. They were kind, respectful, and generous with their time and expertise. If I ever have a mechanical problem while in the Dallas area, theirs is the first shop I will trust.

Honest with fair pricing and good service. I wont be going anywhere else anytime soon. Thanks Jim.

We have taken our cars to Jim for years. He is very good as well as being very honest. We have had other people recommend work that needs to be done on the cars (oil change places), then taken the car to Jim and he says, after checking it, “you don’t need any of that stuff done, your car is fine.” Now that’s a stand up guy!

I dont have enough good things to say about this place. Jim is a great mechanic and a great guy. He is honest and youll feel like you are under-paying him for the work he does. If you work at TI, he will call the shuttle for you if you have to leave your car with him. Dont waste your time or money anywhere else.

Highly recommend Advanced Auto Repair. Their prices are very reasonable. They are a no non-sense shop. They dont try to upsell. You tell them what you want or have them look at and they are very honest about it. I had my car looked at by Jim before buying and would do it again. Ive even called him on the phone for recommendations and Jim was willing to give advice over the phone.

Spot on service, quick work, great price. Ill be bringing all my car stuff here

I was quoted $900+ from Reliable Chevrolet to replace my Equinoxs EGR valve and spark plugs. Jim at Advanced Auto did the job for a third of that price and bought the parts from the deal. Ive taken my car in to him since Ive lived in Dallas. Every time hes very honest and charges you only for the services you need. I would highly recommended Jim to anyone who needs work done on their car.

Jim is the best! These guys will tell it to you straight. My family has been using these guys for years. Never had a problem with their suggestions or quality of work.

Just called Jim 10 minutes ago to let him know my car is being towed to him. I have used AA for 10 years, Les was a family friend and thats how I found out about this place, and Im so glad I did! I tell EVERYONE- and I mean that- to take their car here, Jim is a genuine good guy and awesome mechanic, hes looked cars over for me before purchase, hes looked at what I thought were problems and tell me honestly if something is or isnt wrong. I knew I had a good mechanic when I had an oil leak and was at Orileys buying oil and the guy behind the counter asked if I had someone to take it to and I said yes Jim at advanced auto and he immediately said, oh yeah hes great. :) Thanks Jim- heres to another 10 years of business together!!

I have used Jim for years. His work is thorough and he will never try to scam you. I have referred him to many friends and colleagues and everyone has had the same experience. He is one of the best.

Mr.Jim is the best straight forward guy with reasonable prices and great work.

Honest, quick and bargain driving.

The very best at auto mechanics. Super honest and knowledgeable.

Very professional!

My choice for over 20 years. Amazing service, rational prices.😁

Been taking my vehicle to Jim for 25 years and have referred scores of people. They do great work at a fair price. Totally honest!

Im not sure about the guy that wrote the negative review. Jim has been my mechanic for over 10 years. I refer all of my friends to him for domestic and japanese cars. His shop may not be as fancy as some others, but he is impeccably honest, does good work, and stands by his services. Ive referred countless friends to him (including xshibux on this review thread), and none of them have ever come back with anything but great things to say. Jim is one in a million - and the reason hes so valuable is because its so rare to find his qualities in a mechanic.

Great family business, very trusted to work on all car issues big and small. Wouldnt go anywhere else!

Very expensive for the work that was done - I feel like I was overcharged. But Jim was very communicative and helpful, so the experience overall was okay.

Jim is top notch, a true car talk like guy. He has saved my family a lot of money over the years by going to Advance Auto rather than the rip off dealerships.

I rarely leave reviews, but I was so satisfied with the service here that I felt compelled to do so. If you want an honest mechanic with reasonable prices, this is the place for you.

Fair prices for great work. Wont take my truck any where else.

Weve been coming to Jim with all our family cars for over 20 years and this is the only place we would ever trust. Huge respect to Jim and his wonderful, honest and a hardworking staff!

Jim is super professional and always quick and accommodating!

More for your money

Great and trusted service

Good and fair mechanics

Jim and his mechanics have gone above and beyond the call of duty on several occasions. Finding a shop like this that you can absolutely trust AND doesnt charge you an arm and a leg in the process is pure GOLD.

They do great work, and quickly

Good
