Advanced Automotive

I have been collecting and restoring cars for 50 years. I am honored to have had John rebuild my 1959 Mercedes Benz engine to show condition. Your passion and talent are unrivaled. Thank you Sir!

The whole team there are great guys, knowledgeable, fair and thorough. Joe has helped me out of bind a few times. I only go here after seeing quite a few hack mechanics before finding these guys. Definitely recommended.

These guys are pros! Full disclosure, I am a relative but also speak with firsthand knowledge of their experience, expertise and integrity. I live out of state and for practical reasons get my car serviced by local NJ establishments; Sometimes the dealer. At the suggestion of Joe at Advanced Automotive, I keep a detailed log of service and mileage (by car) to ensure scheduled maintenance is followed. Recently, I had a tire patched at my local NJ dealer. The dealer presented a report card of other items to service. With my log, I could decipher some upselling! This is never something patrons need be concerned with at Advanced Automove of Carmel, NY. You can expect a long term relationship with the highest integrity. I give them Five Stars with conviction!

Ommggg. I just moved back to the NY area from Virginia and needed my car inspected. Joe was MOST accommodating even though he was booked for weeks ahead. He was very patient, professional and whatta multitasker!! I was in and out in 20 minutes!! Thank you Joe for making it a painLESS experience in my journey back to Carmel, NY!!

Such a great organization, from the moment they pick up the phone, you feel welcomed!

The team took great care of me, let me know exactly what was needed, very honest and fair pricing. Will continue to go!

Joe the owner is always very nice and honest.I recommend him if you need your auto serviced.

I am very happy with the quality of service and workmanship provided by Joe and his team at Advanced Automotive. I highly recommend this shop. They worked on my 40 year old vintage Pininfarina Spider and the car is performing better now than it ever has. Fair prices, good communication, expert service-- what more can you ask for ? Don't bring your car anywhere else for service/repair if you are in the Carmel/Holmes area, or even if you're not!

John rebuilt my corvettes cylinder heads and other services. Very happy with the work done. Car runs better than ever! John is a very talented machinist and mechanic! Will be using them again!

I have used Advanced Automotiv if Carmel for years and would never go anywhere else. Joe and John and their staff are incredibly skilled, completely honest and just an overall pleasure to deal with. I trust them completely and they are always ready to take care of my auto needs withour delay, at a fair rate and just do an amazing job.

Joe and his team perform excellent expert service.

I recommend this business because Joe and his team are an example of a highly professional attitude to their work.

Joe and John are always highly capable in their service and cordial to their customers. I can always count on them and their staff to do the job right the first time. They noticed a rusting line during a recent oil change and promptly scheduled an appointment to replace it. I'm confident in their reliable service, the best in town.

This crew is spot on. Been going there for about ten years. Always happy with work. Not an easy thing to do!!

Always reliable and trustworthy. I’ve never left feeling taken advantage of or wondering if I overpaid or had unnecessary work done. My car is finished timely and the owner and staff communicate effectively and explain the work needed. There is never any pressure to do work. It’s very rare to find a local mechanic like Joe in Advanced Automotive, I highly recommend them.

Joe and John are two of the best most knowledgeable auto technicians I have ever come across. On top of that they will never sell you anything you don't need like MANY others out there. Honesty and a fair price is best you can get.

At the recommendation of a friend, we tried this shop for a minor repair. They ordered the part promptly and provided speedy service when it arrived. The estimate and the total were exactly the same. Then, as we were picking up the car after the repair, Joe noticed a smell (completely unrelated to the repair) and suspected that the radiator was not working properly. Thank God! He ordered the part and completed the work very quickly, knowing that it is our only vehicle and we absolutely needed it for the weekend. We will definitely be back!

I keep posting positive reviews for this business, & they keep disappearing. So giving it one more shot. Been taking our car here for the past three years. My late husband was a Mechanic. Since he passed 22 years ago, it's been nearly impossible to find an honest, reasonably affordable shop. Joe & his staff are honest, considerate and VERY professional. In addition, they are sincere and compassionate. I'm very grateful to have come upon this great business!! My sincere thanks to you ALL! Marlene Ulman

Joe at Advanced Automotive runs a very tight ship. Appointment times are kept. Work is completed promptly. I trust Joe to give an honest, fully professional appraisal of my family's cars condition when I bring them. He goes the extra mile to provide value to his customers. I expect to be bringing my cars back to him for routine maintenance for many years to come.

I found Advanced Automotive to be extremely professional and a real pleasure to work with. They quickly identified what was wrong with my fuel system, located the necessary parts, called me to confirm and then repaired it very quickly. Just great service and fair prices - no wonder they are so busy. Will definitely be back.

Always exceptional service at Advanced Automotive, Joe and John offer personal care and as fast as possible our car is fixed and back in the driveway! So glad they are here in Carmel.

After being frustrated with several service mishaps from the dealer, we looked at Google reviews and decided to try out Advanced Automotive. We couldn't be happier with the quality and value of their service, and especially their honesty. We have also found them to be efficient and a pleasure to work with. We are 100% satisfied and so happy to know we're in good hands.
