Gainesville Auto Repair

I would recommend this location. Disclaimer: A review gets me a $5 discount but there is no condition that it be a good review, this is all based on my experience. I went in on 6/7/2016 for an oil change with a coupon and a vehicle inspection. The front desk was courteous and quick to respond, they kept their appointment time as well. Great location. Lobby and location was oddly and a little disturbingly over-zealous in their religious-ness (Christian reading materials, quotes, posters, bibles, and, that morning, a preaching rambling customer to boot) but the employees themselves did not push it on me and I was not uncomfortable. Nice waiting area despite the aforementioned. Car worked fine afterward. They also, without pressuring me, informed me of some damage that was developing on my drive belt (which I later confirmed independently, and it was not caused by them) and advised me to budget for it in the future. All in all pleased with the experience.

I've taken three different cars to them and had two other friends go to them for emergency repairs. Each time was a great visit and it's always great to work with Jena, she is great and doe not push things on you. I'll not go to another place including the dealership unless I have to, highly suggest using them. I've been going for almost 3 years and not one issue. They have always gone above and beyond to do the little things that even the "Dealership" does not do...

I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else. I have always had good reliable service the staff are friendly knowledgeable and always show you what needs to be done to correct the problem.

I have been to many different places to have my car (and families cars) serviced. This place is by far the worst. Never have I met a place who will nickel and dime you for every SINGLE little thing. I called to have something scheduled and they were going to just replace it WITHOUT actually checking to see if that was what the issue was, or if it needed replacing. Instead, they tell me it will be 60 to 90 extra bucks to do a "diagnostic." Nice to your face, and on the phone, but they do not care about their customers and only care about the bottom line. Quickly found another place who not only price matched but will be diagnosing it for free for me. I will never be back here.

Other than my favorite lighter being missing once I got my car back, I wanna give Advanced Auto Care a 5 star review!!! I originally was directed here from a GWOM post about looking for an inexpensive oil change. Thank God for whoever that was. Went Monday and got my oil changed in LESS THAN 30 minutes for less than $25 with tax included. Yay! While I was there, they kindly brought to my attention a few issues I would have in the future if I didnt think about getting a few th...ings fixed/replaced. They didnt try and force me to fix anything or sell more than necessary - just told me some things I need to be thinking about. One of them, being my front brakes, they told me was so bad I probably had aprox. a week before they started rubbing on rotors and cost of fix would double! They gave me an estimate of cost for the three things I needed done. I returned today to have just my front brakes done and I was out of there in less than 2 hours and they were SLAMMED with constant phone calls and walk-ins on top of their appointments. I am very happy with the service they provided and they were all super friendly! I don't feel like I was robbed on the price of labor either. I will definitely be going back for future repairs/tires/oil changes. (: Thanks for the great work guys!!!

Do NOT trust this place. I've been lied to multiple times about services and prices to fix a brake squealing issue. First, The desk person assured me that I would get the brake special price (rotors and pads) even though I have brembo brakes. It seemed fishy so I confirmed multiple times over the phone. Then, I take my car in and they said I don't need new pads because they were still more than 50% and that I just needed my rotors resurfaced to fix the squealing issue. I was skeptical so I kept asking to make sure that I didn't need new pads because I didn't want to pay for labor costs again. Next day, I hear more squealing. I bring it back to the place a few days after first servicing and they said I need NEW PADS AND ROTORS and quoted me $700+. My brother was yelled at by the mechanic. Please don't waste your time with this place. Dishonest, rude, and clueless.
