What clients say about Advanced Auto in Palatine (IL)
I had my 2014 Porsche Boxster S serviced here at Advanced Auto for an annual oil change and was very pleased with the entire experience. The team is very friendly and do a terrific job at communicating any other mechanical issues they discover when servicing your vehicle. This was very helpful for determining what to prioritize to keep my car running its best. I will definitely continue to bring my Boxster there in the future.
Mechanic did not do a proper job, said it was done, it wasn't. He had to complete the job and still didn't do it properly. Complained it was too difficult. It was a simple alignment. I was told next time they have to charge by the hour because it was too much work. Funny, they didn't even do a thorough job to begin with. The mechanic didn't even check the suspension to find out if an alignment could be done. He just did the minimum and said it was done expecting I wouldn't know the difference. The Fact that the "mechanic" didnt inspect the suspension prior to doing the work is evidence of carelessness. A proper alignment CAN NOT be done when a car has worn suspension parts. The "aftermarket" parts would have been seen if he did his job properly! The parts added to the suspension makes it EASIER to do the alignment, are very easy to reach even with the wheels on and not on a lift. It only took more time because he wasnt able to get it in and out as fast as possible. This was a complete lack of care and an unprofessional job. He was angry he had to align the rear thats all. No apology for not even looking at the rear. He said he never heard of anyone having an adjustable rear camber on this model car which is a very poor excuse for unprofessional work. I will never spend another cent at this place. Ill trust a guy in his back yard before I trust this place.
I took my modified Lexus GS430 here for an alignment. I've had a ton of trouble finding a shop in Chicagoland to properly align this car - it has many adjustable parts and every place I've gone to has left the steering a touch crooked, it would pull to one side, etc.
Noel @ Advanced Auto clearly knows what he's doing. Dialed it in and got it perfect on the first try, car rides like it's on rails and feels perfect.
Got my alignment done here on my lowered car and got it driving perfectly straight. Came to me showing the measurements and asked what I was looking for and they got it perfect! Highly recommend anyone to come here for an alignment lowered or not, did a great job!
Moved to Palatine and needed a new mechanic. Tim and the guys have been great. Had an issue with my heater. They realized there was a recall on the part covered by the dealership saving me $1300. Very trustworthy. Thanks again.
It was first time I used their service and they did a great alignment job on my 2020 Toyota Sienna. I will be back and bring my other car for alignment purposes. Thank you guys!
This is a photo of my 2013 Honda pilot which is a work horse.. I could feel in the ride last couple months things out of sorts ..by Ia recommendation I was told that I should go to Advance Auto on Colfax in Palatine..
I went in on the morning and conversation with Tim at the desk I gave him a list of what I felt were probably necessary from neglect. Brakes, pads , rotors, possibly shocks , oil filter dirty.., etc. Yes, all those things came into play plus a few more items . We upgraded my brakes for a more sustainable brakes that won’t become so corrosive in time., My bill was so much less then expected , really.. told my neighbor and he totally agreed.
Now to the ride.. .. , really
I left Advance auto and maybe about 10 minutes from the shop and driving all of a sudden , true story,.., couldn’t believe I was in the same car. it was an amazing smooth ride and had so much energy and when I pressed on the accelerator, I thought is this my car the power behind my wheel was amazing…. really impressive.. “STOP” looking for car repair is a one stop shop. Kudos,, go out to
Nole , who worked on my Honda.. and brought back to what it should be..
First time bringing our car to Advanced Auto on Colfax. Loved the service, Tim communicated with us throughout the day and sent us a full report once completed.
I think I found my mechanic for our cars.
The team at Advanced Auto does a great job letting me know what needs attention immediately, what issues can wait, and what basic issues I can take care of myself. This allows me to budget and save money, which I appreciate!
As always Tim and his team took great care of my car. Always a great welcome and Tim explains everything well. With my busy business I need my car so while they are working on it they always have a loaner for me this makes my life so easy and runs smoothly.
Thank you

Last week as I was preparing to go out of town my oil burning Sonata fouled plugs again. I went to Advanced at 4:30 and Tim came to rescue by getting me in first thing next morning and out by 9:30 (oil, plugs and flush+ system checks). Thanks to Tim's team for getting me on the right on schedule.
Tim and team are second to none! They have helped service my cars on numerous occasions and are my ‘go to’ for when I need help!! Convenient, honest, transparent, reliable, and reasonable!!
The team at Advanced is our go to auto shop. Recently required a new transmission and even though this wasn’t the best news, Tim was straightforward and didn’t try to get me to have more done which has happened at other shops.
This is the place to go! Especially for alignments. The alignment tech will set any spec you want and it’s perfect especially if you track/motorsports!
Can’t recommend this place enough
This place was great to work with. From diagnosing the problem to excellent communication throughout, I couldn't be more pleased and would trust all my vehicle service to them in the future!
Grateful for top notch auto repair services. I have relied on Advanced Auto for the past three years, and they have saved me a lot of money at the dealer. Everyone is professional and friendly. They have my highest recommendation!
$50 labor to change a cabin air filter, ouch. I should have bought it on Amazon for half of what you charged for the part and done it myself in 5 minutes
Judy Faul….. never have to wait for an appointment, Advanced Auto keeps in contact with you throughout the Repair, great work, very nice people, all in all a great experience!!
Very professional and friendly service. The seat (motor) part I needed was quite expensive but they figured out a work around to allow me to drive; they did a manual adjustment of the seat while I was seated and it's working great. They kept me informed every step of the way.
Worst experience ever. I wanted to get an alignment done since the reviews were good. I had recently installed new sport control arms and other sport suspension components, so there should have been no problem — just an alignment and that’s it. After leaving the shop, I noticed something was not right. The rear left suspension was loud, and I could hear a knocking noise and the steering was not right, it was shaking a bit. It turned out that they had forgotten to bolt one of the control arms, which could have led to a serious accident. I would not recommend them. I would rather go to Firestone; they do a better job.
Services: Brake job and rotors all around.
Great customer service and fair pricing! My recent visit was my second time returning for a brake job. Tim whom helped me from the beginning to the end of my service was awesome. I would definitely return and continue to have my Audi worked on. I recommend anyone who is looking for service to give them a try!
The team at Advanced Auto is top notch. I’ve been going there for years for several cars both new and old for everything from used car, checkouts, troubleshooting, routine, maintenance, and emergencies. They are fair and do quality work and they’re very easy to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
My husband had been taking our vehicles here for a very long time. He knew the owners well and they knew our vehicles and maintained them meticulously.
The business sold and my husband passed away suddenly. I was anxious about taking my car in to the new owners and staff. That was a waste of my time.
Everyone is wonderful! They understood that I had not handled maintenance on my car, they were kind, patient and everything I could have hoped for! Jay and Tim took the time to explain the work being done. They let me know that they would be there to help me with this new responsibility.
I am thrilled that our old repair shop is now my new repair shop.
This is a great, honest, reliable, dependable shop with truly kind people working there. Thank you, Tim and Jay!
