About

Advanced Auto Center is an Oakhurst repair shop with a 4.5-star rating across 130 reviews, and reviewers keep coming back to the same theme: fast, honest work from a crew that treats out-of-town visitors as well as regulars.

The reviews describe a shop that moves quickly under pressure. One family had their vacation stopped by a broken axle, got the vehicle towed in, and had the shop track down a replacement part and arrange a rental van so the trip could continue. Others mention same-day fixes for a flat tire, a dead battery swapped out on the spot, and a car full of dashboard warning lights diagnosed and repaired despite a packed schedule.

4 out of 5 stars. Really happy with how they handled my car this last time and it seems like every visit gets a little smoother. Ive been coming here for years becuase theyre honest and dont try to upsell you on stuff you dont actually need, which is rare for an auto shop. The only complaint I have is that they can be a little slow sometimes, like waiting an extra day for a part or not getting to my car til the afternoon when they said morning. I dropped my truck off for a front end alignment and they did a great job, its driving straight as an arrow now. Just wish they were a bit better at timing thier appointments so I could plan my day a little better. But they really know what they're doing and thats why I keep coming back.

I had a flat tire on my Enterprise rental car that needed fixing. They got me in fast and back on the road. Thanks. But, I was a bit miffed because it was my first day of vacation and I was having to deal with a flat tire. The woman helping me must have overheard me complaining about renting a car with a tire leak. She made a point to tell me I ran over a screw and in fact showed it to me. It felt like she was blaming me, which was not necessary. The tire warning light came on as soon as I started it. I think it happened during the delivery of the car. Anyway,before leaving I asked for directions to get to Yosemite. She shrugged her shoulders like she didn't know. I didn't understand why she had an attitude.

By far the most friendliest people I’ve ever met. They treated me like family even though I was only there for a battery replacement. Legendary people, got back on the road in no time. :)
