About Us | Certified, reliable, honest 

We started Advanced Auto and Truck Repair in 1993.  From a single lift shop nearly 20 years ago our reputation for honest, quality work has helped grow our business into a 7,000 square foot space with 8 lifts, state-of-the-art diagnostics and alignment machines and 8 mechanics and technicians. 

One way of providing customer value is getting the job done right the first time.  We have put together a team that will ensure that it's done right the first time around,  every day.  We are not a fly-by-night shop.  With tenures ranging from 2 to 15 years, Advanced Auto and Truck has a knowledge base to be envied.
