Advanced Auto Service & Tires - Long Beach, California

En tour du monde en camping-car en famille, l embrayage nous a lâché et aucun garage ne voulait s occuper de notre camping-car européen. MAIS Jamel Céline et Rigo eux, n ont pas eu peur et nous ont apporté soutien et expertise. Grâce à leur très grand savoir-faire ils ont non seulement réparé l embrayage mais ils nous ont aussi appris plein de choses sur l entretien mécanique de notre véhicule.
Très sympathiques et très professionnels, je pense qu il est difficile de faire mieux !
Nous les remercions encore et nous les recommandons fortement.

Traveling around the world in a motorhome with the family, the clutch failed us and no garage wanted to take care of our European motorhome. BUT Jamel Céline and Rigo were not afraid and gave us support and expertise. Thanks to their great know-how, they not only repaired the clutch but they also taught us a lot about the mechanical maintenance of our vehicle.
Very friendly and very professional, I think it's hard to do better!
We thank them again and highly recommend them.

Jamel and Celine run an amazing shop. They are honest, reasonable priced, and great people. Even though I moved, I still come back to Long Beach for their service and keen eye. They gave me great advice on good tires,… but also a friend of mine who was quoted 3000+ at other shops that Jamel diagnosed as something minor saving him a ton of money.

Took my 94 Nissan Maxima to Jamel for some repairs. He is friendly and helpful. Coordinating the appointment for service, dropping off the car and pick up was simple and concise.
I needed a tow and he provided me with the number of Alva Affordable towing which was a tremendous help.
He also maintains communication through updates while he is working on the car. He called me a few times to let me know about the price of parts and update on the time line of the car being ready for pick up which I appreciated.
Upon picking up the car, he advised of other issues that can be addressed at a later date. He even gave me a rough estimate of the cost which is helpful in saving up for the fixes. Definitely bringing my car back here for work.
Thank you Jamel!

They have the highest level of expertise in European automobiles—professional, timely, and most importantly, trustworthy. In the beginning, I would double- and triple-check their quotes with other mechanics and dealership service centers. Each time, their diagnoses were not only accurate, but they also offered the best price.

Without a doubt, Jamel is the best in Long Beach!!! The low reviews are obviously published by rival mechanics. Thank you so much for top tier service ❤️❤️❤️

Edit. I don't take the best car of my early century truck. Thank goodness I have a mechanic that does. My 2001 Tacoma just passed 200,000 miles and I owe it all to Jamel and his team. Three years after my 1st review, I'm still completely satisfied with my neighborhood mechanic.

Finding an inexpensive and honest mechanic is the holy grail of auto service . Well friends, call me Sir Galahad because I have found it. Advanced Auto has been around for a while, but now under new management, and the service is amazing. I was calling around to shop after shop looking for someone who could perform all the factory recommended routine maintenance on my wife's 2018 Corolla at a price we could afford. We decided on Advanced because they took the time to look up exactly what the factory recommendations were while on the phone and quoted me a great price. My wife and I dropped off the car and had lunch across the street at a great Mexican restaurant. By the time we finished lunch, our car was ready. Everything that needed to be checked was checked and everything that needed to be changed was changed. There was no hard sell for any extras or push for peripheral service. It was just honest work at a fair price.

So when my 18 year old truck started smoking, I knew exactly where I was going to take it. It sounded and smelled like a seized pulley had stripped a belt. And Jamel, the owner of Advanced, confirmed my suspicion. It ended up being a bad AC compressor. Celine, Jamel's partner, called me to tell me the bad news, but she was forthright by telling me that the repair wasn't necessary. The truck would run fine without the AC compressor and its belt. I ran the numbers, and with a quote that was well less than the average cost of such repair and temperatures hovering around 90, I decided to get the work done.

I'm so glad I found this place. Jamel and Celine are wonderful people and I am more than happy to give them my business for both routine maintenance and emergency repairs.

I have been coming to Advanced Auto for 6 years now, ever since I moved to the area. It’s a blessing to find a reliable and trusty auto shop that can put your mind at ease. Jamel and Celine are a wonderful team!
