Advanced Automotive, Golden

"The work on my automobile reflects the experience and professionalism of a grea shop. My car left this shop only when it had been thoroughly repaired or maintained by trained, knowledgeable, dedicated auto technicians. Greg strived to develop loyal customers for the lifetime of the vehicle. I trust the work performed at this shop to exceed the quality of any other shop anywhere."

"Drove my 1999 Corolla to the closest shop (this one) to me after losing powered steering and finding the serpentine belt under my car in a parking lot. After being greeted by a couple of talkative men, I sat in the waiting room until I was called and one of these guys (the owner?) drove my car to the garage door. The guy got out of my car while it was running and said he noticed my interlock device. With his back turned to my car, he tried to sell me on the device that his shop carried for several minutes, at which point I noticed thick vapor coming from under my car's hood and said "that shouldn't be doing that." This guy turned around, panicked and pulled the car into the garage immediately. They did an "inspection," and quoted me something like $2800 to fix a problem I had never seen until this man ignored my vehicle while trying to sell a product that had nothing to do with the reason I came in. The man who destroyed my car then quitely said "well, you did drive without a serpentine belt" and effectively blamed me for destroying my vehicle. This happened in 2018 and I have not been able to afford a different car or repairs to the one this shop destroyed since. Maybe it was my fault for trusting these people, but I would expect a person who owns an automotive repair business (or smartphone) to know that ignoring a running vehicle with no serpentine belt would overheat and effectively destroy it. At least they helped me push it to the tow truck bed the next day."

"Really helpful and affordable for car inspection, most places charge more and the guys were great and friendly! Thanks to them we now know what needs to get done to our new car!"

"Greg doubled the price of parts and labor to quote me at 1500$ for a brake job. Unheard of. Just got it done for 700 at a different shop… he wouldn’t answer my calls when I was trying to cancel it, then charged me almost 200$ just to get my car back. I got scammed. Talked to 3 other mechanics who are shocked at that $1500 quote. I can’t find any evidence of a brake job costing that much anywhere. Double check your prices, ask for part numbers. He claims it’s because of “quality parts” but I can’t find anything close to that expensive. Sorry man I’ve got too many close car friends to pull that on me."

"Great place to take your car! Greg and his staff are amazing. They take pride in there work. The shop is beautiful. Clean and a great place to wait for an oil change. I highly recommend this place!"
