Was in Grand Rapids for a conference and my old 2003 Toyota Prius started alarming as I pulled into town. I was able to drop the car off right away and was very happy with the service and repair.

Awesome service! Thank you for timely, professional service at a reasonable price! We felt blessed to find you! Being out of town and having car troubles is never fun, but Advanced Auto Service fixed our car and got us back on the road quickly.

Russ is always clear about issues and has a very fair price for the work he does. He gives realistic timelines of when work will be completed and lets you know if something changes.
