Houston, TX Auto Repair & Maintenance Services

“EXCELLENT SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Our classic 1978 GMC motorhome A/C quit on our trip from Kansas to Houston for the birth of 1st grandchild. I searched online for a locally owned independent auto repair facility with excellent reviews. We are immensely pleased as our experience was top notch in every way. Tony and his team fit us into their busy work flow, sourced hard-to-find parts, evacuated the system, added freon, tested the A/C and put us back on the road before the end of a very busy Friday afternoon before Father's Day weekend. Thanks too, to Danny, an excellent mechanic and wonderful family man. It was also a very special Friday for one very lucky dog! Lucky was a stray that was appropriately named after being struck by a car near their shop. The vet could save the stray. But the extent of his injuries, the expected time for recuperation, the anticipated vet bills and no owner... well, it would be completely understandable, and probably wise, to let this little dog go. They, however, decided to save this little dog's young life. So they took responsibility for Lucky. They reached out to their community, raised money to help pay Lucky's $5k vet bill and provided the endless love and support necessary to nurse him back to excellent health. Friday afternoon, Lucky's new adoptive mom was picking him up to take him to his forever home. How cool is that??? I LOVE doing business with people who CARE and work to make a DIFFERENCE in their community. They took in this stray visitor from two states away and made me feel welcomed and lucky as well. If you have that kind of car care relationship in Houston, then by all means keep and cherish it! If you don't...? Then why not give Tony and his crew a call? If you would, please tell 'em a grizzled old veteran named Retro78 says: "Thank you for your service!"”

“5 Stars!”

“Tony is excellent and mechanic crew are definitely skilled! Always pleased”

“They are very honest and reasonable. I had an axle replacement required on my camry they were able to do it sooner and much cheaper than 2 other shops in the area I got quoted from first. Another time my undercarriage just started hanging and I came in right at closing time and they were kind enough to fix that plus give me an oil change when I know most other places would have said come back tomorow.”

“Tony the owner is a good guy. He repairs what is needed, stands by his shops work!”

“Tony and Lisa are great people the mechanics get the job done right the first time.”

“Came in at 5 pm, they close at 6 pm to see if they had time to do an oil change. They were happy to help me and i was in and out in no time. They are all very nice and helpful and do not try to up sale you on things that you don't need. I will continue to come back for my auto repairs.”

“I had a transmission problem. They helped me fix it, instead of trying to make me buy a new one.

Honest, professional and friendly service. They welcome dogs too! Pretty cool place.”

“Very good mechanics and customer service”

“They are good at what they do fast and very reliable”

“Best Auto Repair Shop. Good, Honest Mechanics. I Would Never Go Anywhere Else!!!”

“5 Stars!”

“I've been going here for 7 years now. Never had any issues. They have always been straight forward and reasonably priced. Their work is great and they are really nice. They are fast too, never had my truck in there for more than 3 days.”

“I have used Advanced Auto Tech for more than 8 years. I have always been very satisfied. The people are friendly and honest, they will do everything you ask, and if it's not needed, they will tell you. As far as I'm concerned there are no other mechanics I would deal with.”

“5 Stars!”

“Advanced Auto Tech offers quality car repair in Houston ,TX area .They have certified mechanics and Tony provides customers with five star service they are fast friendly and efficient. I take all my cars there for service.”

“I like that it is close by home for sure, but they will take you to your destination if needed. I didn't have to go far and I'm not sure if there are limitations just fyi. My car runs better and I haven't had to go back since May 2015. They did a lot of work and it didn't break the bank. I'm actually going for an oil change today. I highly recommend this place to women because a lot of mechanics try to get over on women but not over here with Tony in charge 😆”

“I have used the services of Advanced Auto Tech for more than 20 years. I have always received courteous, honest, and reliable service. I recommend Advance Auto Tech to anyone seeking fast, excellent automobile service, from American cars to exotic imports. They are, simply, the best.”

“These guys have done work for my friends and they are always happy. I've been in there several times and have seen customers that have told me repeatedly that they have been coming there for years. They have a concierge service too. The place is clean, honest and reasonably priced.”

“Although located on a smaller street and not visible, this is a great repair shop. I got the headlights on my VW fixed when more big chains told me they don't carry the headlights for my car. I was prepared to drive to the other side of town, when I called here and was happy to see they had what I needed.

The waiting area is clean, and welcoming. As a woman, I don't look forward to getting my car fixed, but I didn't mind going here. I felt comfortable and safe.”

“5 Stars!”

“Awesome, my family jas been going here for years. The prices are reasonable and they are trustworthy. I'm a youngwoman and they don't try to take advantage of me either with 'what needs to be done'.”

“It was so nice not to have to roll my windows down and pray that I could get my air to come on if I could just keep moving in the Houston traffic!! You've won my heart and my business. Thanks so much you guys!”

“Are you looking for an honest group of mechanics who won't claim you need repairs or parts that you don't need, won't claim they performed service that they didn't do, and won't make your car worse while 'fixing' the problems you already have? These guys are your ticket out of car misery (or they may be the visit -after- you hear what all of the previous mechanics did to screw up your car).

This place is run out of what looks like a big house, possibly an old farm house- and I took that to be a good sign. It's clearly the kind of place people hear about through word-of-mouth, and judging from the photos of sponsored little league teams and Westbury activities groups inside, these guys are longstanding and proud members of the community. They're also incredibly friendly. They have a parrot inside who talks- says hello every time someone enters, and goodbye when they leave, and babbles to itself a bunch, occasionally even meowing like a cat! I heard the story of how the owners came by this pet, when a customer who couldn't afford car repairs begged to pay them with a baby bird. One of the owners had to feed the bird with food warmed on the stove while it was still very young, and when the parrot was done eating it'd fill its mouth with food, then shake its head vigorously, spraying it everywhere.

But I digress.

They alerted me that parking on the streets in Chicago for two winters meant the underside of my car is basically a pile of rust - all the salt Chicago uses to melt snow turns cars to rust quickly. And the Ford dealership in Chicago who claimed to repair the rusted air filter box on my little car apparently didn't do it, but charged me for the privilege anyway, so my air filter has been overdue for a change for 6 months. Greeeeeat. I'll be editing THAT Yelp review.

They did take a long while on my 4-tire alignment, replacement blinker, the aforementioned air filter box repair and something that was broken called an 'engine static ground strip', but it was worth it to get the job done right. Plus, although their waiting area isn't as glamorous as many dealerships are these days, they had free wireless 'net access, a heap of magazines, and a television (showing Animal Planet today). They've got a lovely relic of a soda machine with 50¢ cans of soda in it, and 25¢ candy machines.

My total charge for the repairs was just over $200, which I felt was reasonable.
I feel like I can trust these guys, and seriously- that's worth a LOT in the world of car repairs. I am easily taken advantage of when it comes to these things. Jim found them via the website for the NPR show 'Car Talk', and when I told them that they were amused and pleased.

Now you can tell them Liz who just moved from Chicago and has the black Ford Focus sent you :)”

“I have taken my car to Advanced Auto Tech for 7 years, and I will never take it anywhere else. They can turn a situation that could have been quite painful, into a relatively pleasant one. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and Tony always puts everything in laymans terms, so us not so car savvy individuals can understand exactly what is going on. They are always quick, and even offer rides to and from the shop while your car is getting worked on. I will never trust another auto repair shop with my vehicle!”

“The guys at Advanced Auto Tech are the only people with whom I would trust my 1988 BMW. Their work is top notch and their prices are reasonable. I have very high expectations about how my car and I should be treated and Advanced Auto Tech never disappoints.”

“My wife has a 96 Honda and there were issues with starting her car and wobbly steering. After reading the reviews on City Search we decided to give Advanced Auto Tech a try. It's been several weeks now and her car is running great. All of the problems were quickly diagnosed and repaired. At the front desk Eddy was very friendly and explained everything well, and if you?re lucky you'll get to hear their talking parrot. We will be returning to Advanced Auto Tech for any future maintenance with our cars.”

“We have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma and originally went in for an oil change for the convinient location in our neighborhood and the service manager was very friendly. They actually took the time to look the truck though and explained to me what would be needed in the near future as far as regularly scheduled maintence with the estimated cost of parts and labor. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I have been coming in ever since. Our truck still drives like new all thanks to the service at Advanced Auto Tech.”

“This is a place I'd highly recommend. I had an extended warranty from Lexus on my RX300 and 2 months after the warranty ran out (of course) I started having problems. I went back to the dealer but didn't want to pay their high prices and a friend recommended this place. Their estimate was accurate and a whole lot less than the dealer and there were no suprises when I picked up my car. It's been 3 months and my car is still running great! The staff was professional and extremely friendly. They even looked over my car to let me know some repairs I might need in the future but didn't push me to fix them now. I was really happy with their work and felt this was a place I could trust.”

“4 Stars!”

“The guys at Advanced Auto Tech are great mechanics and always puts me back on the road safe!! Awesone team”

“5 Stars!”

“4 Stars!”

“The most honest mechanics I have ever met and known on a personal level. If it were not for Tony and his crew, my 2000 Chevy truck with 466,895 would not still be on the highways of Texas today, thanks guys and gals of advanced auto tech. Looking forward to the next 500,000”

“5 Stars!”

“Can't get anyone to work on our BMW down in Lake Jackson got it towed to Advance and they had it diagnosed in no time explained to me what it would take to fix it and was very reasonable on the final price. We will not bring our car to any other shop , and they are 50 miles from our house. Thanks”

“I luv this shop have known tony since I was a baby”

“Awesome! Tony and guys have kept me on the road for many years!”

“5 Stars!”
