Services
Advanced Auto Center has been providing top quality auto repair and maintenance services in West Sacramento, Natomas and the Downtown Sacramento area since 1995. Locally owned and operated, we are an auto repair shop dedicated to providing the highest level of automotive services and customer care to all of our wonderful customers!
The alternator on your car, truck or SUV must function properly to charge the battery and keep you on the road. If the amp gauge is reading lower than normal or fluctuating, this is a warning sign of a possible alternator malfunction. If your vehicle is equipped with a warning indicator it may flash or illuminate.
You depend on the air conditioning in your car, truck or SUV to function properly and provide comfort on warm California days. If you notice your A/C not blowing as cool as normal, it is time to get it checked. Early detection is essential for air conditioning issues because they can progress into more expensive repair requirements.
You rely on your car, truck or SUV to run properly and provide dependable transportation for you and your family. If the engine is running rough or you notice an increase in fuel consumption, the proper testing should be performed. Contact Advanced Auto Center to schedule an auto diagnostics appointment.

The service I received here was outstanding. Justin kept me informed every step of the way. I brought my car in kind of late in the day so they had to keep it overnight. However, they had it repaired and working great within 24 hours. Also the cost of the repairs was reasonable. It's been my experience if you can find a good and honest auto mechanic, you stay with them. I'm going to stay with Advanced Auto Center.

Advance Auto was recommended by a great friend and I was not disappointed. The service was great. Totally a customer friendly atmosphere. Everyone who I spoke to was honest and up front with the repair cost and parts. I have been looking for a place to call home for my car to be serviced regularly. I found it. Thank you for the outstanding repair work you perform on my car!

BEST AUTO SHOP EVER! Never have I encountered a mechanic/shop (or maybe business in general) that was so honest, helpful, caring, generous, friendly, and just.human! On more than one occasion, this shop has gone above and BEYOND to help me and my mom. They really take care of people here. And they are so informative and communicative. My mom lives in the area - she is 67 years old and is the guardian of three small children.

She needed some major repairs to her van, and I was coordinating with the shop (primarily Justin - who is WONDERFUL!) from my home almost 300 miles way. He communicated every step of the way, and they worked hard to get the van running safe and back to my mom as quickly as possible, while finding the most cost effective ways to accomplish these major repairs.

For anyone with multiple kids, I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to be without transportation, and they were very sensitive to the urgency of the situation. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this shop! I mean, I'm half tempted to make the 5 1/2 hour drive to West Sac the next time my own vehicle needs work. I cannot leave a glowing enough review, nor thank them enough for all of their care, kindness and generosity! But thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I called and they got my G37 in within 2 days! Sean and Justin were both very professional and kept me inform about the cost, testing and services throughout the whole process through the app and phone calls (this was very refreshing) not having to keep calling in for updates, like other shops. My vehicle had to be towed in due to it over heating and smoking.

They actually listened to my concerns and suggested a coolant diagnostic which is cheaper than a diagnostic on the head gasket (my partner suggested) They originally told me it would be a few days, which I was fine with. They got my car to me within a day! It was actually the coolant system. They even went the extra miles to get the parts, and said for me to drive it for a week and report back.

Finally a auto body shop with integrity, that listens to women also. I will be going here for all my vehicle service needs! Thank you for treating me and my vehicle with respect!

Lets just say that I brought my car in for an initial visit to have something fixed, and I was not at all pleased once the car was done. Justin (the service manager) was more than accommodating and attentive to my concerns. So I brought the car back in and Justin expedited the repair for me and after they were through I could not be more happy with how the whole process was handled.

I am happy to say that I will be bringing all of my vehicles back to Advanced. Customer service to me is when something goes wrong in a transaction, the business does everything they can to make a customer feel better, short of the customer taking advantage of the business. Thanks for the help Justin. Much appreciated.

I have finally found a repair shop that I will be using for EVERYTHING. I have never had better customer service or repair service for anywhere else like these guys. From start to finish they were informative every step of the way and walked me through all they're recommendations and took great care of me and my vehicle. Not to mention they got me in last minute before a holiday and had all my repairs done in record time. My repair shop for life. Could not be more pleased.

Made an appointment for a check engine light diagnostic. Received a call from service manager about 40 minutes later who told me exactly what service needed to be performed. He also throughly explained how that particular system works and about future service might be expected. Service was completed soon afterwards and at a very reasonable price. The vehicle run much smoother now! I am definitely a return customer!

I took a used car to these guys for a pre-inspection and both the service manager and the mechanic went above and beyond in not only assessing the car, but helping me think about if it was right for my overall situation. You don't find folks so generous with both their time and expertise so often. 6 stars! And I really ought to send these guys a box of chocolates. Thank you!

I have been dealing with a few cars as well as car shops but I must admit this facility is forever now my facility. Anyone who ask me for a shop to my taste I'm definitely recommended my guys here. I love the energy and genuine understanding and conversation you can hold with anyone of their employees. They are very hard working but down to earth people, their test and work is very Thorough and complete.

They explain and break down everything including work that you should look into for the proper care for your car. They are understanding and work with you. I was so impressed by my service I refused to let my boyfriend go anywhere else. Once he made it in the shop which was only a day after my visit of convincing my boyfriend was pleased to know that his girl could actually find a nice decent and presentable car shop. Thank you Advanced Auto Center you guys are the best, hands down! I got more business coming your way.

I have had 2 big jobs ( 1- replaced battery, alternator and starter, 2- replaced water pump and thermostat) done on my 2007 BMW and they fixed it without issues and their estimates and cost were right on and sometimes I paid a little bit less than the final quote. They also provided a ride to and from their shop. I'm very satisfied with their work and their customer service. I give them an A+

So many mechanics have no morals. You want money but don't care about the people you service. No interity, no honor, no respect for people that need help. I couldn't get a quote because they want to diagnosis charge. I already got a diagnosis and they won't even give me a price to see if they are affordable. Not providing a general price for service seems dishonorable.

I couldn't trust a new mechanic if they can't be transparent. The tone of the person on the phone was as if they don't need my business so I strongly recommend that you keep looking
