I recommend this shop to everyone! They are honest, upfront and do great work. One of the many things they have done was a complete wiring of my cars wiring harnesses that was ripped to shreds from a blown tire and it has been years since that was done and has never had an issue. And the price is always the best in town and they were fast at getting it done. And keeping me informed as they went. All the mechanics and office people are great!!
This is the most honest mechanic shop that I have ever dealt with! James and woman that works up front are absolutely awesome! I will continue to use this shop for all.of mine and my daughters vehicle needs.
Ive been coming here for 6 years with my 2005 vehicle. They are not pushy about a ton of unnecessary repairs. They let you know what is most important so you can prioritize with your budget. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and most importantly, great Mechanics!
As a woman, I dread going to auto repair shops. In fact, I normally take my car to several places before deciding to fix an “issue”. However, at Advantage Automotive, I haven’t felt the need to! They not only took extra time to look at my car and explain everything but, they took me INTO the shop to show me the issues they found AND they provided me with photos before replacing any parts. Never have I been treated so well at an auto repair shop. They even got me in the next day to fix the issue. I’ll never take my car anywhere else. This place is trustworthy, dependable and respectful. If you’re a woman who has been screwed over before, like me, look no further, Advantage Automotive will take care of you.
Dodge Challenger 2012 This is the cleanest shop I have ever been to in my life! Amazing customer service 😊 Friendly is worth it!Company even does a follow up with you by text to see if your vehicle is running properly from the repair.( Luv text!)Shop is detailed and shows you the cause of the problem and explains if need. I will be returning to this shop for my vehicle needs
I have recently moved to Iowa from Las Vegas and my 1500 mile trip was a difficult one, filled with blown tires and overworked engines. But if it wasnt for Advantage Automotive and David P. taking care of me. Our tough trip could have been much worse. I required a minor repair to my engine(crank shaft sensor replacement) a repair that although not serious in town could have incapacitated my truck out on the highway. David understood and sympathized with my situation and he and the rest of the Advantage staff got me back on the road in a matter of a few hours. So if you need any services on your vehicle or minor repairs done quickly and want to be treated with honesty and receive quality service, be sure to stop in Albuquerque and visit Advantage automotive.
This is my Go-To place for all my vehicle maintenance and repairs. They have incredible and friendly customer service. They never, ever try to take advantage or upsell (which is important to me as a single female). Theyve proven this by suggesting fixes for things that I already knew were an issue, explaining costs, and offering up other solutions. I trust them, and that says a lot.
I love this place! They are so helpful, trustworthy, and joyful. I bring my car for everything, from maintenance to repair. My family all brings their cars as well and I suggest this business any chance I get! You cant go wrong bringing your car to these guys, they always take care of you with a smile on their face!
So convenient and so much better than going to the dealer. Want great service? Try Advantage.
Fantastic service, immaculate garage, kind people who are honest and explain everything.
Ive never written a google review for anything before, but I really thought Advantage Automotive deserved positive recognition. They are an exceptional autoshop who go far beyond what any normal company would do for its clients. They fixed multiple issues on my vehicle to include alternator, coolant system, radiator, multiple check engine lights, and battery in addition to normal oil changes/fluid changes.David is highly knowledgeable and fair when it comes to any questions I had. They were willing to show me in person what the issue was every time, options to resolve it, and the best financial options. I had both new and re-manufactured parts installed.David also came and pushed me out of the middle of the highway when I broke down on tramway on the way to get work done - goes to show his true character and willingness to just be a good person.James was also willing to let me bring my vehicle in 20 mins prior to close when I started having issues the day before I moved. He not only inspected my vehicle right away when I arrived, but he didnt charge me anything for it - another example of the people of character they employ here.The facility is spotless, they always answer the phone, and they resolved every problem I had. I cannot recommend them enough as the best autoshop in Albuquerque!
After having issues with national chains and dealerships, Advantage Automotive was very helpful.
Grate work on my brakes, grate price and military discount helps so much, being on limated military retirement.
Honest company with integrity. They have proven to me they live with integrity and strive to be honest and fair.
Awesome service !You wont be disappointed !
Good people. Very happy with the repairs done so far.
Great customer service fair prices.
The nicest, most professional garage and crew Ive ever had. Was having an awful time of things when I brought my car in and they took better care of me than I could ask for. David and everyone else are always understanding and efficient, and most importantly treat their customers as actual people. Five stars, Joe Bob says check em out.
After getting the runaround from a competing auto service company in Albuquerque, I contacted Advantage Automotive. I was traveling from Phoenix, Arizona to St. Paul, Minnesota and my vehicle broke down about 20 miles outside of Albuquerque. David set me up with a towing company. Once my vehicle arrived at their shop, they took it right in and diagnosed the problem. It turned out to be a warped tire. They directed me to a tire company and they charged me nothing. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Advantage Auto to anyone in Albuquerque area.
I brought a town and country in with the whole wiring harness ripped apart after a tire blow out and they fixed it to perfect condition. They also kept the repair in the quoted rate, no suprises or up sales. Very clean and professional. They were polite in explaining when asked tons of questions. Definitely would recommend any little or huge repair or maintenance.
James and his crew are friendly, skilled and professional. All.of the work performed on my vehicles has been top notch.
MY REVIEW:One weekend morning in January 2020, my car would not start. After attempting to jump start it, I realized I needed to have it towed. I had become dissatisfied with a previous auto shop and I happened to have some time on my hands while I waited for the tow truck. I did a web search and found Advantage Automotive. It had rave reviews. I had my car towed to their lot, wrote a note about the issue, and dropped it along with my keys in their lock box. I got a call the following week from David stating that I needed a new starter. Parts plus labor would be $600. I approved the repair. The next day, I received another call from David stating that when the technician went to begin the repair work, he discovered a loose wire. He reconnected the wire and my car started! David stated that the techs had started my car about 60 or so times afterwards and it started each time. He then said that I may want to hold off replacing the starter for now since the issue may have been resolved. Wow! After already feeling confident that I found my new mechanics, I went to pick up my car and pay for the labor services incurred. David stated that they were not going to charge me anything for the little time it took to remedy the problem. He just asked that I consider returning to their shop should I encounter any other auto issues in the future. Wow, again! I am now going to be a customer of theirs for life!
I will definitely return when needed
Advantage Automotive is the best auto service & repair shop Ive ever encountered in the states and in Japan and West Germany. Not only do they do the jobs right the first time the people are friendly and a pleasure to do business with. Prices are reasonable. I recommend them without reservation. Give them a try!
I came in for new airbags for a new to me RV. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! I bought the RV with no maintenance records or history. A front to back inspection was done for no charge. Several things were found but he let me know the ones I could do with no pressure to let him do the others. Several things I thought would be needed were not and I was told when they should be done. I was very impressed with his honesty. I had been quoted a very reasonable price for my airbags so I did choose to have the work I could not do done for a very reasonable price. I was very pleased to get a military discount of 5% on both parts and labor too! BTW the shop was impressively clean and organized and all the work was completed top notch and faster than promised. I will be back!
Our RV quit running outside of Albuquerque. The towing company recommended this shop to take a look at it. The towing company parked our RV in front of the shop 10 PM Sunday night. First thing Monday morning we were the out of town guests on their doorstep. They were most gracious to the four of us.The shop is spotless, bathrooms, waiting rooms included. They fixed our RV same day, a fuel injector had failed.Professional shop, no scrimping on tool quality or diagnostic equipment.Would recommend for any level of repair.
Ive dealt with Advantage Automotive for years with great satisfaction. These folks knowtheir business and treat their customers like family. They always make sure things aredone quickly and professionally. Youll be impressed also with how clean the shop areais - it could pass a public health inspection quicker than some restaurants Ive seen!George Franklin
I am impressed. This shop works on motor and drive train issues with motorhomes, especially those based on the P30/32 Work Horse chassis. And they are VERY good! I recommend them very much!
I highly recommend this place! Everyone is very proffesional and polite. They provide reliable service at a great price. Advantage Automotive is extremely trustworthy.
Very very impressed with these folks. Performed the work that was requested and they gave us good advise for future needs. You just dont run I to such honest and knowledgeable people like this. Highly recommend them.
I have used Advantage Automotive since 2000 for all mechanical repairs on my motor home. I have been extremely satisfied with the work performed. When additional things might be required (front end alignment, for example), it is brought to my attention. When additional items can be repaired with minimal additional cost (replace an old water pump while the radiator was being replaced) this is done without adding the R&R for the water pump to the bill. The staff are friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. Commitments are met, which is always appreciated.
Best in the west!
I will not take my 2 Subarus any where else. I have been their happily satisfied customer for a number of years. The shop is spotless which I really appreciate, their work is top notch. James, John, Sharon, and Doug all know my personal situation and they make sure I will not have any trouble with my vehicles. These folks not only know their stuff when it comes to vehicles, but they are kind, caring folks. I highly recommend them!
The people at Advantage (John and James) are very knowledgeable. Even when we have an emergency, they manage to schedule us in immediately. They are always concerned about the cost to their customer and make suggestions as to whether things need to be repaired or tweaked rather than suggesting the most expensive route available. They are always friendly and reliable.
Have no fear when David and the crew are there! Their very nice, they helped us with are spark plug and leaking problems. I gotta say $200 for a coolant hose repair seems a little too over priced. But I got to say that they are one of the better auto repair places in town other than the over priced issue. Please give them a shot! :.) 👍
This is a small business that knows how to fix automobiles and take care of customers. They are trustworthy and friendly. I highly recommend that you give them a try. I have been using Advantage for my cars and my motor home, and I could not be happier.
Great bunch of guys! John is always helpful. The place is spotless. Cant say enough about the quality of their work.
Absolutely the most knowledgeable as well as the most honest shop I have ever visited. Not only do they have more technical expertise than other shops but they are honest and will never do unneeded work. Absolutely the best.
What great professional folks. They do what you want and do it well and fast. I highly recommend them.
Absolute best automotive repair shop ever! Not only do they fix your car / RV right the first time but they treat you like family! If your not already using their service you need to start ASAP!
Best, most honest repair shop in New Mexico, if not the country. John and his crew are excellent and will never try to cheat or scam you.
Everyone there respects their customers. From the first phone call until the time my car left the lot. Even sent a well-wishing card, which btw was JUST that. No advertisement nor a pushy referral offer, just a card showing appreciation. They were helpful, informative, and truly friendly. Im so used to condescending now-it-alls when I deal with anybody in the automotive service industry, but these guys are different.
James at Advantage Automotive was highly recommended by my sister and brother in law, and now I know why. I was seeking pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle and was unable to take it at the time I had arranged. Later in the day, I called and David said they could get me in. They were prompt getting the inspection started and it was finished in a very timely manner. They were very thorough, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and professional. I witnessed several transactions with other customers and would say the same for all of them. Clearly, they have many repeat customers, and make a point to address each customer by name. While they didnt perform any work at this time, they have earned my business.The only hesitation I have about leaving a stellar review is thet they may become so popular that its hard to get in with them when I need work done!I commend the team at Advantage Automotive for running a great business in a time when mediocrity seems to be the standard.
We took our motor home in to have the brakes checked because they had overheated. They worked us in. James was very helpful. It was just rust on the rotor and since they did nothing, they charged us nothing. We asked a local for a recommendation on a place to take our car and they gave us this place. Great place.
I always receive excellent service at a fair price. I appreciate being updated on the progress of repairs and getting a look at the replaced parts.
John and James are great trouble shooters. They perform quality work providing options when needed. Honesty is a special quality of this shop.
We have been an Advantage Automotive customer for over 25 years. No matter the make, model or age of your vehicle, they are always knowledgeable, have the latest equipment and vehicle information, and courteously complete even the most difficult repair work.We recommend anyone who require a tune up to a full drive train rebuild to take their vehicle to Advantage Automotive.Don & Jolynn Wilbert
Wouldnt take my vehicle anywhere else - they are the best in Albuquerque.In fact, I drive from the West side just to make sure my vehicle is always maintained correctly. Thank you James, John & Doug.
Great service, solid pricing and utmost professionalism. Cleanest garage Ive ever witnessed, and I was raised in Michigan, back when we used to make every car on the planet.
They are very knowledgeable, accommodating, trustworthy, and pleasant folks to leave your vehicle with and get it fixed properly. I have had many vehicles serviced here for well over twenty years with no complaints.
This place is a joke. They wouldnt even take a look at my vehicle because its too old and its only a 95. They serviced this truck twice in the past but all of sudden its too old??? What BS. I call that terrible customer service. I will be taking my business elsewhere and I recommend others do as well.
These guys cash pinpoint whatever its wrong with your car and get it fixed asap. I highly recommend their service!
Take advantage of Advantage Automotive services! This is one of the few businesses that delivers on time and does exceptional work. I have a Winnabago RV and they have serviced this vehicle since 2007. I would not go to anyone else and feel confident that their workmanship meets Advantage Automotives high standards!Bob
Work is always done right and on time. Communication is always clear and they let you know whats going on. Shop is spotless.
John, James, Sharon and Doug of Advantage Auto demonstrate the values that exemplify the gold standard of auto repair service; excellence in auto repair, honesty, and a genuine kindness that welcomes you when you enter their shop
I always get great service from these people.
Went in to have my dash air on my RV repaired. As James drove it into the bay he knew it was misfiring. We had just thought that was the way it ran. They got all repairs done in one day and now my Pace Arrow is humming up hills and getting better mileage then ever in the 10 years we have owned it (went from 8 mpg to 10.5 mpg on first tank of gas)James & John are extremely service oriented and went out of their way to get the job done and us out on the road.Anyone with a Workhorse Chassis should not think twice about coming here for service. We are full timers and base in Tucson but I can tell you any work I need I am coming back here to have it done.Thanks James & John!
Came in late with really bad brakes they got me on the road by the next day. Seemed very very honest and helpful
The best automotive shop in Albuquerque very professional and HONEST I wont take my cars any where else .
Thorough and knowledgeable -- and Im a picky person with my cars. I trust these guys.
This review is about AAs customer service. David and James (Jim? sorry if Im wrong) was a pleasure to work with, very open communication and walked me through the whole process of getting my brakes and rotors replaced. They were also kind enough to give me rides back and forth to my house when they were checking out my van. It was honestly very strange to be treated so well at a mechanic shop as Im used to impatient/over-worked/stressed know it alls. These guys are the absolute opposite.Unfortunately, I could not afford the fix and decided to take another route with my vehicle repair. Regardless, they did not charge me for any of the rides or the checks on my car. Very trustworthy shop in a sea of sketchy mechanics. I look forward to working with them in the future. Do business here.
A very clean and professional business. They do an excellent job with all the routine and other maintenance requirements of my motorhome. I wouldnt have take my motorhome to any other place if I had know about this place when I first owned my motorhome.
Fantastic service all the way through, you cant go wrong!
Yes you saw it in the pictures, the place is always that clean. I have been going to Advantage for many years. Although they may not be the cheapest in town, I think they have the most competent and quality service Ive found in ABQ. Mechanics are like doctors, you have to trust them to keep coming back. I keep coming back to Advantage.
Best place I havr been!
Great Service. Good people.Thank you!
A friend directed me to Advantage Automotive many years ago, and Ive been there ever since. It is a clean environment, repairs done correctly the first time, etc. Give then a try and you wont go any where else for repairs.
Always do a great job, facility is clean and staff is excellent
Wow. Nice place
Top notch service! Thank you John.
Very helpful!
