Advanced Auto Care 5-Star Reviews

The guys here are fantastic! They run a professional operation. The shop is clean and the work is fast. I appreciate their expertise, even although fixing my car is never what I want to be spending my money on! I've been taking out vehicles here for 3 or 4 years, and I really can say these are some of the good guys!

Joan A., Canyon Lake, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Excellent auto shop: i am a returning customer and will continue to take my Mercedes there as well as recommend them to family and friends. Steve and Ryan are both so friendly and helpful. The prices are so much more reasonable than the dealership and AAC actually performs more checks on my vehicle than the dealer recommends - for a less expensive price! I also find AAC to be very honest. Would highly recommend!

Denise A., Wildomar, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Great repair shop, Ryan & Steve provided excellent service at a fair price. The shop is so clean you can eat off the floor. I have finially found a great mechanic right here in Lake Elsinore. I will be back again & again.

Jibril H., Huntington Beach, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

These guys are the best. I spent over $1200 at another shop trying to get my vehicle to pass smog. They just kept replacing parts with no idea what they were doing.

Advanced auto care diagnosed the problem immediately and took care of it at a very affordable price. Their shop is so clean you could eat off the floors. Their staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them!

David Moyes Via Facebook Review

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Lobby is clean and the smog special with appointment will make me a long time customer. I was in and out. Thanks guys!

Lucy Van Pelt Via Google Review

This NEVER happens. Had a horrible pinging noise as I drove my car. Had it looked at and the estimate was much higher than what the bill came out to be. The problem wasn't as severe as originally expected. Most shops would just do the original work instead of what you actually need.

John B., Lake Elsinore, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Excellent service, very professional and spotless business. Went in with squeaky brakes and a check engine light on. Less than 24 hours and I was back on the road with a very quiet vehicle. Prices were inline if not better than others I called. They also have a FREE shuttle that took me home and came the next morning to pick me up. If you need any work done on your vehicle give them a call.

Bernie J., Sevierville, TN Via Yelp Testimonial

My number one spot i always go to now...very reliable and good pricing...extremely professional and great customer service..I definitely recommend this spot to everyone

king reyes Via Google Review

We had a great experience. Their professionalism and caring about their work and their clients is outstanding. I would trust all my vehicle maintenance to them.

Linda White Via Facebook Review

This is the best mechanics shop in the area...period. They do great work, way reasonable price and they won't rip your head off. One time Mike even told me I should try to get my brakes fixed under the warranty before going ahead with a $400 job which I was fully prepared to do.

We have four cars and they all go to Advanced Auto Care!

Stephen H., Lake Elsinore, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Thanks so much to Steve, Ryan and his group of great mechanics for bring my 1998 Ford F-150. I thought my Ford’s life was over and was picking out a "junk yard". Personnel were knowledgeable and professional and appreciate the “CPR” on my truck. If I'm in need of auto service, only one place I'll go!! Thanks again

Advanced did complete brake job months ago on my 2012 Accord. The work done was and is still perfect. With these guys you get what you pay for and they just completed efi work on my daughter's Honda civic. You can trust this shop.

Mark A., Corona, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Had my vehicle serviced today and steve and Ryan did a great job, they listened to my needs and got the job done without any additional pressure. They squeezed me as I didnt have a appointment and called me when the car was ready.. Great job guys. And I would recommend Steve and Advance Auto for all your mechanical needs!!! Thanks guys.

Marie B., Lake Elsinore, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Kindest staff, always quick service!

Very welcoming, and offer great prices!

Always satisfied with services whenever I've come by, highly recommend!

Jahaira C., Lake Elsinore, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Friendly fast service that is super affordable. - I had an appointment at 10 and they got me out of here in less than 10 minutes... I didn't even finish the freshly brewed coffee they had available in their clean reception area - Thank you Steve and Ryan! I wish I found them when we first moved to LE in 2015. When I searched for a smog check in 2015 I ended up paying more than my car registration. Something told me to Google search for my smog check this year and Advanced Auto Care popped up. Such a blessing! I have a 2001 Lexus and the registration is $145 the smog check is only costing $39.95. Will definitely be a repeat customer. When driving down Collier, make a right at Riverside drive by the cemetery, and their facility is in the same parking lot as the recycling center.

Ofelia E., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Good Honest guys. Always been suspicious of all mechanics but so far, these guys have been 100% honest and upfront. Definitely would recommend to friends and family

Awesome customer, friendly staff & the cleanest auto shop I ever seen!!

Steven Mannon Via Google Review

Traveling in RV, can't find a place to get air in tires. A RV repair shop (not sure why they couldn't assist us???) suggested Advanced Auto Care. We drove across street, asked if they could help us & they were courteous, friendly, polite & fast! Appreciate their awesome customer service. Plus, their shop is the cleanest auto repair shop I've ever seen!! THANK YOU

I took my vehicle here and absolutely loved the service. They took care of the issue and they even shuttled me to and from my house at no extra cost. Everyone was super friendly.

I'll definitely be coming back for any of my vehicle repairs. Thank you for making my experience a pleasant one.

Advanced Auto Care is the best! I have always found Steve (the owner) and Ryan (the office manager) to be professional and honest. Let's be real, having car troubles are never fun, but when something does go wrong it's nice to have a place that I trust to take my car. Their waiting room is one of the cleanest I've seen, and the service is fantastic! I'd recommend these guys to anyone!

When my PT Cruiser's engine light started coming on, I had a gut feeling it was going to need some major repairs, because it wasn't sounding smooth. I originally found Advanced Auto Care doing an online search for a place to have my car smogged in order to complete my car registration. From the moment I walked into their shop, I felt I found "my" mechanic. Customer service is outstanding. Steve took the time to explain how and why my car was behaving the way it was and what I could expect in order to get the registration completed. Their shuttle service made it convenient for me to drop my car off without having to rely on a neighbor. After seeing the diagnostic report and getting a detailed explanation of it, in no way whatsoever did I feel pressured to have them do the necessary repairs. Steve even helped me weigh my options whether it would be more cost effective to do the repairs or trade my car in for a newer vehicle. Because of the level of professionalism and integrity I saw, I felt very confident returning with my decision to entrust my car to their care. My PT Cruiser's cruising smooth now with no more strange noises. It feels like driving a brand new vehicle. Thank you, Advanced Auto Care for caring for cars AND their owners ;-)

I needed a smog check and found Advance Auto Care on the web. I looked up the web site and info to contact them. I called and was greeted by Steve on the phone. I asked if I need an appointment for a smog check had he said not at the moment we are open. I rushed down and had the smog check done. I was notified (my gas cap failed). I thought it's about time I had the same cap for 12 years.. LOL! They had a cap in stock and finished the smog check while I waited. (20 min. in all). This is my first time to Advanced Auto Care and being an ASE Certified Technician myself That is some record breaking work in my book. Thank You Steve, Ryan, and everyone else that works there. Your Top notch in my book and will recommend to all my friends. A+ service
