Advanced Auto Repair & Powder Coating

While I will start by saying the original estimate I was given was lower than the final bill, I still am satisfied with the cost. Richard seems like an honest guy, and he and his wife run their business with integrity, you can tell. I feel like I got good work for what seems like an average going price.

Driving through Russellville en route to Albuquerque after visiting family around AR when our ford focus broke down on I40 west. We lost a lot of power but were able to pull off the freeway. The first 2 shops we stopped at were unable to help us but the second referred us to Advanced Auto. (We passed five or six auto repair stores on the way) Richard met us at the door when we arrived at his store and was more than helpful and an all around amiable guy. Within the first 5 minutes of looking at our vehicle, he had diagnosed the issue, (which one of the two earlier shops had misdiagnosed) and was putting together an extremely reasonable quote. Within the hour our car was fixed and road ready and when I was expecting to pay an arm and a leg, Richard was honest and charged us for only parts and labor done. No extra hours based on a set minimum, In all we paid for an hour of labor and the parts. Great honest business and if I lived within an hour of this place I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else! Thanks to Richard and his people we made it to Albuquerque without any more issues.

Stacy2006, I think you comment to a wrong shop! We never had to replace an intake manifold on a Chevrolet Tahoe since we open our shop here in Arkansas! We have replaced several intake manifold gaskets on Chevrolets (a very common thing) but not intake manifold… We couldn't even find a receipts that match your amount at all! Sorry that happened to you! But if you have your receipt/invoice number, we'll be happy to help you. -Richard Powell

I'm a single mom with two kids. I took my car there its the worst thing I have ever did. for one the owner she's very rude to u and two she talks to you like you know nothing.here's what happened this is why you shouldn't take your car there!!!!. I had a coolant leak on my Tahoe I drove it there .they said that they will let me know something that day and what it was going to cost to fix I said great!!. lucky I had a back up junkie car for the time being . cuz they had inside for three days and said I need water pump and intake gasket . it was going to be $1100 to fix so I said fix it . so 5 days later they call me up and say its ready to go and they gave me this outrageous price of $1456.76 now I agreed to the $1100 . I said why is it higher than what you told me she said we had to get the intake its self cuz it had a crack in it. they didn't even call me to ask if its ok for the extra charge she just assumed it would be ok . I told her we agreed on $1100 not $1456.76 she said well u didn't sign no paper work saying that . she told me over the phone it will be $1100 so I highly recommend not going there they lie about the price to u worst place ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
