Advanced Automotive of Oregon

I had another visit and another great service experience. This time it was because I had a few error codes, that turned out to be my Catalytic Converts. Instead of charging me dealership replacement costs, they recommended me to an exhaust specialist. Saving me some $$, and proving to me that customer service is there priority and not gouging the customer. I think I finally feel that I Automotive shop that I will call my own.

GREAT! service and even better pricing. I always feel like I am walking into a hornets nest when I visit a Auto Repair shop. Advanced Automotive has help change my perception of Auto Repair shops. Their staff have always been friendly, honest and helpful. I have taken my Toyota FJ to their shop a couple of times, and have always been please with the work. I always recommend that you shop and compare, but if be sure to include Advanced Automotive in your comparisons.

Hands down the best 4 wheel alignment shop in Tualatin /​Tigard area. Over the last few years I have taken not only my cars, but the wife’s cars here for alignment. Many of our cars are lowered or have sport suspension and these guys have no problems getting the car aligned perfectly without any hiccups. The wife’s Mercedes that has H&R sport springs and camber control arms has had difficulty in getting proper alignment when taken to other shops (particularly major chain tire shops), but these guys got it aligned perfectly the first time.
I use this shop every time I buy a set of new tires or make suspension modifications. Pricing is reasonable and these guys get it done right!

Awesome service! I had an engine misfire and took my car here. They fixed it quickly and did a good job for a fair price. When my engine started misfiring again a few months later I took it to the dealership (I should have taken it back here in retrospect) and advanced automotive just told me to bring back the ignition coil and they warranted the parts full price, no questions asked! I dealt with the owner who was very nice and easy going. This will definitely be my auto repair shop as long as I live in the area.

I’ve been back twice more and left extremely satisfied both times. This place is extremely honest and skilled at what they do.

I can not say enough good things about this shop. High integrity owners, they don’t do unnecessary work and when you ask their opinion, they give it with the customers best interest in mind. A gem!!!

I was referred here by a co-​worker, and have been here many times. Good service, straight talk, and willing to work with you on scheduling. Highly recommend.

Wayne and staff are awesome! I was in the Portland area from out of town and had a windshield wiper stop working. They got me in on short notice before I had to drive back home in the rain, and because it was a simple repair they fixed the wiper for free. I was so impressed that I left the car for a few hours to have some other things worked on too. Overall they did a great job at a fair price and guaranteed the work. If I lived in the area I would definitely be back!

Finally a mechanic I can trust! Thank you for taking care of me and many of my friends needs!

I have been looking for a place that doesn’t try and sell you repairs that are not necessary and can actually keep your steering wheel straight when doing an alignment unlike a hack job chain that will tell one that their car can’t be aligned and the steering wheel is off 90 degrees when they complete their work.
So I looked up reviews online and this place had some great reviews! I had one shop tell me my front end noises were just the ball joints. Replaced control arms and didn’t fix anything. Took it here and in ten minutes they told me the tie rods and wheel bearing was shot. Knowing enough about the car I have this made sense to me. I removed hub and had guys press wheel bearing and replaced hub as it was shot. Very reasonable prices. Came out perfect. Replaced the parts and brought it back in for an alignment. The steering wheel was perfectly straight and car noises were gone. They even didn’t try to say I needed a four wheel alignment like Sch***‘s usually does so they just charged me for a two wheel alignment. Not many shops around here are that honest. I would take my vehicle here any day of the week. Great guys that just tell you what needs to be done at a fair price. They just got a lifetime customer here. I will refer people to them as well for future car repairs. The staff was wonderful and has a sense of humor too which is desirable when dealing with vehicle problems. Am impressed. Keep up the great work!

I have brought my vehicles here for all their maintenance for the last 2 years, I have always been treated fairly and honestly. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a reliable and honest auto repair shop.

Two vehicles, two different outcomes, two amazing testimonials for Advanced Automotive.
My 93 Range Rover has a major oil leak and I’m considering selling it so I want to get the leak fixed before I sell it (karma). I take it to Advanced to have them take a look and give me a quote. FIRST TIME EVER a shop has talked me out of «wasting» my money on repairs. Any other greedy shop would have taken my money and ran. Thanks for being so honest and choosing a lifelong customer over a «job».
Then a couple days later I went to check the oil in my Audi wagon and the dipstick tube was shattered (it’s plastic and apparently a common problem). My beach trip planned for the next day would have to be cancelled unless this can be fixed ASAP. Owen made a call and found the part, put a rush on the job and had me out there in less than an hour. Beach trip saved. Customer for life happy!

No regrets. They will give you a great rate and tantamount service. I had a good friend working at this shop for a while and he enjoyed working there and stood behind his work and all the other mechanics. They have fixed my grumpy Toyota Van and My dad’s Audi several times and we have been very pleased with the work every time. Highly recommended.

You know that sick feeling you get when you bring your car in the shop and you don’t know if you can believe what your told. I always hate that feeling and hoped to someday find a place that didn’t leave me stressed. Been going here for two years and it is so nice to have an auto repair shop that I can trust. Owen and Wayne are the best people and I am so happy to be a loyal customer!

my 100^th first review
i have a gf i call my car. shes been with me oh wow, hmm 12 years! my first and my oldest ltr. for those not in the know that means long term relationship.
we’ve been in tons of wrecks, recalls, and blinking service lights together. i get this cold shudder whenever i think about having to get a new car. this place has been one of my secrets of keeping my car running for the first half of her life. they treated her well, told me not to worry with little things, and helped me with big things.
bunch of nice guys and friendly staff. i may take my car there again soon!
