Gainesville Auto Repair

It is rare that you find a mechanic that you can trust. I can say after one experience with Advanced Auto Care Center that I implicitly trust them. They were very up front, informative, and generous. I plan to use them for future services as well as recommend them to others. These are kind people you can trust!

I give this auto repair store a million stars! I am so glad that care is included in their company name because they actually really do love and care about their customers. They help you to the max. They have great customer service and they get everything done so fast but yet to where you are safe and your car is in perfect shape afterwards. Jana is so helpful and kind! She always makes you leave there with a smile on your face. They have refreshments for while you wait. They have entertainment as well while you wait. There is a TV, magazines, books for people who follow God, coloring books, water & coffee to drink. If you need a ride home or to work while your car is being worked on they will take you to and from. They really are the best of the best and I highly recommend them. -Stephanie Kelly

I always hated going to get my car worked on by a shop. I try to do everything myself, but there are some things that have to get done by a mechanic. I am pleased to say that I trust Advanced Auto Care with my car. Janna was EXTREMELY nice and genuine. I've never dealt with someone like her in a repair shop. She didn't try to sell me any bs and didn't pressure me into getting a repair done. Don't hesitate to bring your car in there.

I've been taking my car to Advanced Auto Care for about 3 years now and I have always been satisfied with the service. They are honest, informative, and have never pressured me into going ahead with any of the repairs needed/recommended for my car. Prices are fair. Janna at the front desk is always welcoming and I feel very comfortable taking my car there whenever I go. Being a college student new to Gainesville mechanics, I am happy to have found a reliable place I can take my car to.

I have always had an excellent experience with the service and staff at Advanced Auto Care. I appreciate the fact that they have bibles available to read in the waiting room. Everything is clean, neat, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I believe that their prices are reasonable and the wait time and service is of greater value to me in my busy world. Every time I have my vehicle serviced or repaired, they explain every things in detail and I am very pleased with this service.I would not take me vehicles any place else.

I would recommend this location. Disclaimer: A review gets me a $5 discount but there is no condition that it be a good review, this is all based on my experience. I went in on 6/7/2016 for an oil change with a coupon and a vehicle inspection. The front desk was courteous and quick to respond, they kept their appointment time as well. Great location. Lobby and location was oddly and a little disturbingly over-zealous in their religious-ness (Christian reading materials, quotes, posters, bibles, and, that morning, a preaching rambling customer to boot) but the employees themselves did not push it on me and I was not uncomfortable. Nice waiting area despite the aforementioned. Car worked fine afterward. They also, without pressuring me, informed me of some damage that was developing on my drive belt (which I later confirmed independently, and it was not caused by them) and advised me to budget for it in the future. All in all pleased with the experience.

I've taken three different cars to them and had two other friends go to them for emergency repairs. Each time was a great visit and it's always great to work with Jena, she is great and doe not push things on you. I'll not go to another place including the dealership unless I have to, highly suggest using them. I've been going for almost 3 years and not one issue. They have always gone above and beyond to do the little things that even the "Dealership" does not do...

I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else. I have always had good reliable service the staff are friendly knowledgeable and always show you what needs to be done to correct the problem.

I have been to many different places to have my car (and families cars) serviced. This place is by far the worst. Never have I met a place who will nickel and dime you for every SINGLE little thing. I called to have something scheduled and they were going to just replace it WITHOUT actually checking to see if that was what the issue was, or if it needed replacing. Instead, they tell me it will be 60 to 90 extra bucks to do a "diagnostic." Nice to your face, and on the phone, but they do not care about their customers and only care about the bottom line. Quickly found another place who not only price matched but will be diagnosing it for free for me. I will never be back here.

Other than my favorite lighter being missing once I got my car back, I wanna give Advanced Auto Care a 5 star review!!! I originally was directed here from a GWOM post about looking for an inexpensive oil change. Thank God for whoever that was. Went Monday and got my oil changed in LESS THAN 30 minutes for less than $25 with tax included. Yay! While I was there, they kindly brought to my attention a few issues I would have in the future if I didnt think about getting a few th...ings fixed/replaced. They didnt try and force me to fix anything or sell more than necessary - just told me some things I need to be thinking about. One of them, being my front brakes, they told me was so bad I probably had aprox. a week before they started rubbing on rotors and cost of fix would double! They gave me an estimate of cost for the three things I needed done. I returned today to have just my front brakes done and I was out of there in less than 2 hours and they were SLAMMED with constant phone calls and walk-ins on top of their appointments. I am very happy with the service they provided and they were all super friendly! I don't feel like I was robbed on the price of labor either. I will definitely be going back for future repairs/tires/oil changes. (: Thanks for the great work guys!!!
