Van broke down my regular repair shop could not fit me in for 2 weeks. Advanced Automotive came to the rescue they had my van up and running by the next morning. I will now be changing to these guys for all of my auto repairs. Service: Battery

Recently I took my 2013 Chevy van into the Advanced. I've known that they have been purchased by a larger company. I was in for oil change, tire rotation, inspection of the brakes and wheel alignment. I was told that the wheel alignment could not be performed due to camber bolts inoperable. Also had the tires rotated. I since took my vehicle to another repair facility.

Which was able to perform the alignment with the same bolts that were deemed unusable by Advanced. Also I was missing six lug nuts. That's a quarter of the lug nuts for my van, but was never informed of the missing nuts or have them replaced and charge me. That will be the last time I will Advanced, service has gone downhill ever since the purchase. I would look elsewhere

Was told I needed to replace the lower control arm and was quoted 750$ and they could not continue with the Alignment. My friend who's a mechanic confirmed the only thing was the bushings were wearing out on the control arm and it wasn't necessary to replace them or have my car towed. Was told from the shop that I shouldnt keep driving on them. Shelled out 100$ for a tow and a 40$ "checkout fee" because they decided to charge me labor for the 27 minutes it was in the shop.

All in all I brought the part and with labor was quoted 350 for another place to install the control arm and another 130 for an alignment. Still cheaper than what this shop would have charged with buying the part and labor along with alignment and flipping two tires. Luckily being in the car scene and knowing other mechanics everyone said 750$ was a rip off. So I'm glad I got it done by a mechanic I trust.

I am so happy I found Advanced Auto and Truck in Palatine. They are always helpful, and thorough. Their work is excellent with competitive pricing. I've taken two of my vehicles to them for the last 2 years, and have nothing but good things to say. My husband has also used them. One thing that I really like is that they will check in via text message.

I am horrible with remembering to service my car, and it seems their messages come in at the right time. I'm always able to book within a reasonable time frame. The change of ownership hasn't impacted their service in my experience. Thank you Advanced Auto and Truck!

Charged $75 to run codes on my car just to tell me to take it to the dealership. Also they forgot to leave my keys in the lockbox the night I went to pick up the car so had to go back in the morning. The staff was really nice so I'll give them that.

They were great to work with. Clearly explained what was wrong with the car, what it would cost to fix it and worked with me to figure out a priority in which to fix things. Really appreciate the care they take with communication. Services: Engine repair, Brake service & repair

I moved to the Palatine area a couple years ago and have been looking for a reliable place to maintain our 2 used cars. I liked my previous mechanic but he's now a long drive. after trying a couple of other places, I gave Advanced Auto and Truck repair a try. And I'm glad I did! Great service. Courteous and knowledgeable service. They solved a couple of "mysteries" other places couldn't figure out.

Our cars run better than they have for quite a while! The pricing is reasonable and their communication is excellent. something I find rare in the auto servicing world. They are good at explaining what are "safety issues" and what can wait a while. As I said to Mike (who overlooked the repairs on my car with "mysteries"), "You guys now have a customer for life." I highly recommend them and knowing their expert care is just a short drive away makes me feel a lot more secure and comfortable. in driving a couple of older cars.

I wanted to thank Dave and his crew for their work on my Impala. After identifying an issue while performing an oil change, Dave worked with my warranty company to get the issue resolved. While the shop has new owners (Dytech auto group) and Jim and Rod have retired, it is still good to see that they are offering the same level of high service as before.
