Always fast friendly service Won't take my car anywhere else2 thanks guys 👍🏻👍🏻
these guys are the best. great service and prices. best auto shop in ventura.
Honest and reliable service. I'm a woman and car places can be hassle but this place is my place. They are professional and let me know exactly what I need to get done and what can wait or will need to be looked at down the line. They're never pushy. I've recommend this place to all my coworkers, family and friends.
Been multiple times. They have been transparent and fair with prices and have even inspected my vehicle for free. Love their communication and I’ll continue to refer people to them
The most honest mechanics in town. Don't overcharge women, won't refuse to work on your duct taped ,gorilla glued clunker,even cheap pre smog inspections if you think it will fail, but like to weigh your options. Used tires if you can't afford a new one for like $25. Top notch work, they never talk down to anyone, and super friendly. 10 stars if I could.
Jaime’s customer service is top notch. I take all my cars here and every time I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. They are very knowledgeable and their prices are more than fair. It’s very hard to find a trustworthy shop, this is that shop! Ask for Jaime he’s the go to guy!
Advanced Auto Care and Smog are so incredible! They are one of the top places in Ventura for quality tires. I got a super affordable tire quote for my 2020 Elantra and the next day, those tires were on in a heartbeat! Super kind staff, very knowledgable and extremely authentic and transparent with pricing, tire delivery and waiting time. Super precise and on point. Extremely personable and professional. Jaime and his staff are off the hook. Truly amazing people. Definitely give these guys a call. They will hook you up for sure. I’m telling you… one of the best places in Ventura county for tires and service - hands down!!
Best mechanic shop in town. I have been taking my cars here for maintenance and repairs for the past four years and they always do an outstanding job, Eddie and his staff are very honest and reliable. Very professional and excellent service is provided here. I highly recommend this shop.

Be mechanic shop Ive ever been to great customer service this is the only place I feel I can go and not feel ripped off
I had a great experience getting my truck smogged at Advanced Auto today. Excellent customer service. Took my truck quickly. Fairly priced. Friendly crew and I was out of there fast. I highly recommend.
Local and helpful. Honest and quick. Got me back on the road with efficiency. The best Ive found in Ventura in the last 10 years! Highly recommended.
Smart approach to car maintenance and service.
Very professional service, I recommend it
Super efficient and got me in on short notice, plus reasonably priced!
Its the best auto shop Ive ever used
Ive had SMOG Testing on several vehicles done here over the years. My first visit was a car that two other SMOG stations tried ripping me off. I didnt have the equipment to diagnose the problem; but I knew the first two places were sending me on a wild goose chase. I took it to ADVANCED AUTO CARE who did the repairs at a reasonable price and then SMOGd it for me. Been a faithful customer ever since!
Talk about being filled up,! Smog time to get my tag got an appointment next Thursday dont know the time yet Cant give any stars yet!

Eddy is great, he is a very honest and helpful person. The staff has always been knowledgeable and helpful too. I have used Advanced Auto Care & SMOG for 4 years now with a fleet of vehicles and not 1 time have I ever had a issue with them. I highly recommend Advanced Auto & SMOG.

Ive smogged my car here twice. Theyre quick and inexpensive. Its my go to spot on the avenue.
Very quick service and good price on smog services.
Honestly the most honest auto mechanic Ive ever come across. The only place I go for anything automotive!
Very friendly staff. I called when they opened and they saw me within the hour. Im a first time customer and will definitely be back. I was in and out within 15 minutes for a smog I had to get done and the price was very reasonable.
Ive been having my cars smogged here since 2005. Ive had all my auto repairs done here for about 4 years. Water pump, fuel injectors, oil changes Im pretty sure they do all services. And, if your car wont pass smog it will here! Very Prefessional ans excellent customer service.
I always get great reliable service. Eddie is the owner and he takes his time to describe in great detail the service your vehicle needs. I trust him with all my vehicles.
I just want to give a shout out to the guys at Advanced Auto! They are fantastic!! We have 4 vehicles in our family that we regularly have serviced there! Always fair and efficient! Thanks so much for being a reliable business! Wouldn t go ANYWHERE ELSE!!
Cool staff, Get the job Done and Fast

Excellent service the few times Ive been there. Will be taking my vehicles there again if anything goes wrong on the future.
Always been grate to and good deals
Friendly and helpful staff. Easy appointment setting and always been able to get in and out on schedule.
Very professional and trust worthy
Great customer service, especially after the horrible experience I had at smoggies where the technician/owner could not be bothered to explain why my car couldnt pass. The guys at Advanced took the time to make sure I understood exactly what was wrong and what it would take to fix the issue. They will definitely have my business in the future
Always take my cars there with Eddie
Eddie and the crew are great. Best prices on tires, alignments and smogs, too. Honest and quick.
Great shop great service
Always the best price and the only mechanics i trust near my car
Not just for smog but their mechanics are great too. I trust Eddie and the guys at Advanced for quality work and advice.
My favorited place for auto repair, good service and reasonable prices
This shop does it all and they do a fantastic job. Been taking both of my vehicles to Advanced AC&S for years now and have had zero issues with their work.
Quick and inexpensive smog check. Excited to come back for an oil change and other preventative maintenance.
Good place for your auto needs
Fast and perfessional !
Fast and cheap, they are very friendly
Very expensive !!!!!!!!!!!!####
The guys here are awesome! They diagnosed a smog error, and they didnt even charge me. Says a lot because I had a $500 check in my hand from the state if they had found something to fix. They told me how to fix it myself, so it costed $0! Stop by if you need work done. Theyre as honest as they come.
Seems to be honest
Owner Eddie and young Johnathon have helped my family with cars from the very first visit--Volvo XC, two older Volvo 240s, Mercedes SUV--and without hesitation. Their hourly rate also is remarkable for this part of the world! The point is, they will tackle any mechanical problem and are open to solutions for vehicles with many more than one needs. Check these guys out please.
Very straight forward and efficient, the even gave some parts at their cost
Always in and out in a very short time best smog place.
Edie offers quick, friendly and fast service. Always appreciated.
Always willing to squeeze a customer in at the last minute and Ed is a noce guy.
Great service!!! I called in for a smog they said to come down. Within in 5 minutes my car was going through smog check. Friendly mechanics and helpful. They were swamped too. So within an hour that includes phone call, paperwork, labor on smog, I was out the door. Thank you guys for everything. Joe
30+ yrs Ventura resident. I had Eddie and crew take care of our needs 4 times. 2 smog and 2 under $1k jobs. Never any headaches, unanswered questions or feeling cheated. Eddie is upfront and honest. Definitely one of the fastest and most reliable shops in Ventura.
Great, professional shop! I wouldnt take my vehicle anywhere else. Eddie, the owner, approaches his work methodically keeping your vehicle repair costs to a minimum. His guys handled my old Ford trucks engine performance problem properly and at a reasonable price. Runs great now.
This is a dad & son business. The work is full of pride, reasonable and they stand by everything they do. Best place in town to take your car.
I am a mechanic myself and went to Advanced Auto for a smog check after trying 3 other unproffesional shops. Eddie the owner is a highly trained proffesional who does outstanding work. I highly recommend!!
Excellent service!
