The response is like nothing I have witnessed since working in auto repair. They are knowledgeable, and the pre-check on the truck allowed me to know about the repairs that would have cost had I not taken care of them now. The mountain area needs a reliable, friendly, cost-saving service shop like Advanced Auto. Greg Haywood Shop Manager with the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad.

Here's the review I left on Google and Yelp! Thank you all! xoxo My car's automatic transmission warning light came on just outside of Oakhurst, on our way into the Yosemite Valley to go tent camping. While we were at AAC waiting to get diagnosed and hear the results, I saw firsthand the relationship they have with their local customers. They know their customers by name, ask about their families, and take time with them as they set them up for their routine appointments. I also realized how often they must have travelers come through, flustered by bad luck in the midst of a high pressure situation threatening their vacation. If you are an out-of-towner, please recognize that they have a business that services their local customers as well, and be willing to wait patiently and breathe deeply so that you can treat the AAC staff with kindness. Through our experience, it is clear that the staff will do everything they can in their power to care for you as well. (Not that everything is in their power, but if they can do it for you, they will, especially if there is mutual respect given!) We were so appreciative of how they took care of us (even calling a friend with an Air Bnb when we needed a place to stay while they fixed the car and then driving us to our hotel!) that we stopped off on our way home to thank them and give hugs. Thank you, AAC!

Traveling with RV and needed brakes and rear seal replaced on my pickup. Kutter got us in and out the next day. Was so happy I chose Advanced Auto. This is a great auto shop and Kutter is a great guy. Knowledgeable, fair, honest, and professional. Oakhurst is fortunate to have an auto shop like this one! Thanks, Kutter for all you did!
