I had Advanced Automotive Repair change out my OEM wheels for new wheels, install a new grill and install a new rear deck lid and I'm very happy with the results. I was also happy to find out that they offer a veteran discount.

I was very impressed by the friendliness and work they did with my car. The prices are reasonable and the owner is straight with what it will cost and if something else comes up he lets you know and decide what to do. I will be going back soon for my brake pads.Two thumbs up.

Small shop with responsive team members. I went in for state inspection. They were quick and gave recommendation on getting a lens treatment to help with visibility at night. There is also a small waiting area with a couch, tv, and toys for young kids. I appreciate them squeezing me in two hours before closing. I will be back for more service!

Everyone was super nice, I needed a MD inspection last minute and they were nice enough to squeeze me in that day. I will definitely go back to them for future car needs

Jim and Ron are the most detail orientated mechanics that I ve been able to work with. They looked at my car and found the issues that I needed and were able to assist me with their services but also educate me on the matter. They helped me survive and fixed a huge issue for meServices: Auto maintenance, Oil changeServices: Auto maintenance, Oil change

Jim & his assistant was able to take us last minute on a Saturday to replace our car's Starter. We were traveling through Frederick, so while our car was being fixed, we toured Historic Frederick downtown (only a mile away). They did a great job and Jim was very informative. They even found we were a quart low on oil. Thanks to them, we were back on the road that evening.

Jim and the team are great! I learn something every time I take my car there. They take pride in the work they do and Jim always explains things in great detail to ensure I understand exactly what he worked on and what I'll need to maintain everything. I'm really grateful for them, good mechanics are hard to find and they take the cake!Services: Tire rotations, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil changeServices: Tire rotations, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil change

This was my first time using Advanced Automotive repair. At first glance it was an older building and not impressive. BUT, after having my car inspected there my opinion changed dramatically from my first impression. Jim is an excellent mechanic that really does care about cars and how to keep them running longer. We talked at length about basic services that cars need. I highly recommend that you take your care there for all your automotive needs.Service: Vehicle Inspection

Inspection Maryland, they re horrible especially Jim, he is trying to fail your vehicle for minor reasons so he can collect more money. I recommend you guys to check with different areas except this one. They will schedule you even though if they have other folks on their schedule, and their excuse is long inspection they re full of BS.

Found this local garage through a Google search for Benz repairs. Met owner by phone and then in person. What a nice guy and great little shop! A cool throw back to the days of my youth when visiting this establishment. Jim saved us $500 in a belt replacement over what the dealership had quoted, and since our SUV has 140,000 miles, having the work done here was a no-brainer. Car is running fine. We look forward to having Advanced Automotive keeping this car alive for a while longerService: General repairs & maintenance

Went here to get vehicle inspected after an out-of-state purchase. I am always wary of trusting shops after so many bad experiences and this was my first time working with them.They were very patient and answered all my questions while showing what I needed to pass inspection here in Maryland and why. It was an overall great experience and they have earned a recurring customer with their attitude, honesty, and drive to get my car up and running!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Great place with reasonable prices. I work with engine development and can tell they have a lot of experience. Flexible with times and if you prefer to do part of the repair yourself. Jim always calls back as agreed. Just got my old Jeep with 230k miles on it through MD emission inspection with a clear PASS Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Front office and scheduling was easy and fast. The tech forgot to reset the computer to prompt the next oil change. Brought my own oil and filter to keep cost down. The tech did check out the rest of the truck in prep for a long upcoming trip.Service: Oil changeService: Oil change

I have definitely found a new mechanic!!! The owner is very nice and HONEST!! They've done great work and we've had NO problems or complaints. The entire staff is GREAT! Noah, a mechanic there, has worked on a few of our vehicles and we've been 100% satisfied. They're willing to take the time to answer questions and explain everything. The prices are reasonable. They are clearly not out to gouge customers by finding ways to charge aa much as they possibly can. (My brake job ended up being less than the estimate.) They've always gotten our vehicles in on time and were done when expected. I trust them completely with all our vehicles. I have definitely found our new mechanic!!

Jim and Ron here at Advanced Automotive are amazing. My car broke down from water pump/serpentine belt fell off, I got stranded. Called Jim up and he was super helpful and took the car in when towed in. Jim and Ron got started working on the car at 9am and worked through the day to get it up and running on the same day!! So I didnt have to be stranded 60 miles away from home. Thank you so much for the amazing customer service and assistance. They also gave me advice on maintenance tips to prevent issue from happening again. Thanks for making a terrible situation into a good experience meeting yall people!

Excellent work and highly recommended! Very professional and went an extra mile to get my car fixed at a reasonable price. At first I was not sure what to expect, but after explaining my concerns and the things I was asked by a different service to get fixed before passing the State inspection in Germantown - It became clear that some things were unnecessary! This was a huge relief because we just came from a different state. Got the car fixed and passed the State inspection. Thanks and I look forward to going back again for any car repairs.

Jim, Brandon and Lynn are very professional. Service was great and repair bill was reasonable. Jim saved me some money as I thought I needed to replace all pads and rotors but a clean, adjust and brake flush was all it needed. They also did an oil change, tire rotation and replace 2 tires. Thanks for taking great care of my RAV4!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenanceServices: Tires, General repairs & maintenance

I have had my brakes done at this shop and was VERY happy with the over all experience. Jim explained to me on what my car would need to be done in the future of my car to help save money down the road. When he explained things to me it was so i could understand. I fully plan on coming back and having the rest of the maintenance done at this shop. FULLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

New to area and went here for a Maryland state inspection. Not only were the staff friendly and kind, they also went out of their way to make sure that I understood all of the items they were checking, how my car was doing, and also any upcoming maintenance that I may need. I would highly recommend using Advanced Automotive Repair for any car needs. I will certainly be back the next time my car needs service.

They helped me out in a time of need. However when I recieved my vehicle back, there where many issues that hadn't been one before. Rags still attached to my engine, the under mud protector not properly attached, my window washer fluid hose was adjusted shorter and broke. And lastly my blinker no longer functions. Keep in mind I just had a radiator, and thermostat replaced. They where very kind and helpful people just more attention to detail is needed in this shop.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Jim was very professional from the beginning. I felt so comfortable leaving my car for state inspection. I am new in the area. I will be taking my car for service from now on. I am glad there is a good reliable and honest mechanic shop in Frederick. Thanks....!

Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable place. Great work and for a fair price. Also had a quick turn around time, putting in new struts for front and back. I would definitely use them again.Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair
