REVIEWS

I was very impressed with the owner and his honest, professional treatment of his customers. Honesty and integrity is hard to find these days, but you will find it here. I highly recommend this shop. You won't be disappointed.

Took my vintage T-Bird in for an exhaust re-do. They did a beautiful job and obviously take pride I their work. The job was completed on time and at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Gregg, I can't say it enough. I called around and asked how much it was just to LOOK at my A/C and the lowest price I got was $60 and everytime they always said "well it goes into however much the repairs will be. Well I just had another child and can't really afford to pay $60-$100 for someone to just look at my car. So I saw all the positive reviews on here for Advance and thought "well if he's as honest as people say he is, this is the place for me to check out" I called and asked how much for him to look at it and he said it's less than $40 bucks, so I figured okay I can swing that. Every other person that I asked told me it would be around $2k to fix... $75 and a half hour later I drove out of Gregg's shop with ice cold A/C. I'm going back tomorrow to get my window fixed and next paycheck I'm going to have him do my wife's O2 sensor (which we've been putting off for months). I'm not going to anybody else ever again. He is honest, he explains stuff in terms that I can understand, and he doesn't sugar coat stuff. Check him out, you won't be disappointed.

Gregg is the best. He offers no BS affordable service for any car you could take in. He remedied a huge number of issues that were left by a previous mechanic on my jeep all in about an hour. Couldn't be happier with the service and the cost. Happy to say I finally found a great shop in Bakersfield for auto repair. No more check engine light for me!

I got my 97 Chevy Astro AC fixed here and they did an excellent job. My AC runs cold and is perfect for this Bakersfield weather. I recommend them to everyone I know, their pricing is fair, they're honest, and they're very wise.

I was passing through Bakersfield on my was across the country and realized I could not continue without a working air conditioner. i was seeing 110 degrees inside the car, a big 1999 Chevy Express van. So I looked on various sites for a good air conditioning shop. The reviews that Advance got impressed me. Even though they specialized in mufflers, there were excellent reviews on air conditioning repair as well. So I arrived before 8 am and asked Gregg if he could help. Could he ever. The AC needed major repairs, compressor and associated parts. He recommended a very good breakfast place and worked while I waited. He had me out of there before 11:30 am the same day. With the air working as good as new and at what I felt was a very reasonable price. Gregg is honest, helpful and extremely competent. He has my highest recommendation.

Of the seven times I have taken my car in for repair, the last two times were to this shop. The work was done correctly, and when given a high low cost range they have always been on the low side. Greg is honest, speaking clearly and in terms you can understand. A repair shop that is run professionally run!!
