Advanced Autowerks

Jan 06, 2025

Went twice for service of coolant leakage and suspension. Was charged highly but it seemed reasonable at first. A month later without driving the car too much, the same issues persisted. Had to go to another shop that didn't rush the repairs and gave more transparency on what was actually being fixed. Its partially my fault for letting them rush me on the repairs and not ask the correct follow up questions.

I brought my car in because the tail light was out. They charged me almost $400 for a tail light replacement which stopped working on the drive home. Clearly they did not correctly diagnose the real issue. When I told them, they asked me to bring it in for more diagnosis at $200/hour. Clown business.

If you want to pay $6000 for a repair that can be done elsewhere for $400, then this is your shop!

Initially went in for service on my Mk6 GTI and a general assessment after moving. Zach was extremely candid about the work that needed to be done, suggested repair timelines, and transparent with pricing. Turnaround for a handful of repairs, large and small, was relatively fast based on the hours needed to complete the jobs. Upon pick-up, everything under the hood was shown and explained to me. Clear, concise communication and updates while my car was in their space. Extremely pleased with the care, transparency, and conversations surrounding past, current, and future maintenance and expectations. Absolutely will be recommending to anyone seeking service and maintenance with care and professionalism for their car, and with out a doubt will be returning for future services.

Fantastic customer service by Zach, thorough explanation of everything that needs to be done, no upselling at any point. Will definitely be back!

Zach and the team here are great. They were super thorough with my Tiguan with detailed communication as well. Zach even took the time to show me specifically under the hood of my car, everything that was going on. Quick service too!

Zach is great and will take good care of you.

I take my beloved VW Golf R MK7 in for routine service at Advanced Autowerks. I drop it off in the morning and it's done by afternoon. Zach is personable and never does any major repairs without talking to me first. A few months back they identified a water pump leak and knew about a recall that saved me over 1000$. I love my car and I trust their expertise. It's a great place for VW services.

Don’t do all Audis

Fair and friendly.

I called Advanced Autowerks at 5:55 pm due to an airbag warning light that popped up on my VW dash. Zach kindly talked me through the possible issues and advised me on the best course of action at the end of his work day. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and honest. If I ever have an issue with my VW when I'm in the city again, I'll definitely be calling Advanced.

Looking for a shop that knows VWs and other German cars as well as the dealership but at more reasonable prices? Need honest, efficient, capable service with your best interests in mind (and a longer-than-average warranty? Then come to Advanced Autowerks. Sure, the perks of coffee gift cards and cold drinks are thoughtful touches. But ultimately it comes down to whether a shop does things well and backs up their work, and does it all at a reasonable price--without trying to gouge you or talk you into service you don't need. And that's what they do here. Give them a try.

The shop is highly professional, but quite expensive. The repair bill for a valve cover leak, an oil filter housing leak and changing thrust bushings was $3514.75. The shop provided me measurements to justify most repairs which is the technically correct way to assess wear and tear. Advance replaced a $716 valve cover as a precaution on a part they said endemically fails, but Google had no search record of endemic BMW valve cover failure. They did tell me up front and I didn't pay close enough attention.

Well Zach is probably a rather rude individual, who probably treats his own American kind much better than us foreign… shame on unwelcoming people like this. Also fells untrustworthy. My fix involved much less operations on my engine that he described, as performed by official dealership. Total garbage. Totally sketchy place.

Feb 06, 2022

All the positive reviews of Zach and company have been spot on. I needed to find a good mechanic shop for my A3 and they have been nothing short of fantastic (both timely and ethically). I came in for the standard 40k maintenance repair but Zach thought it was unnecessary for the time being. Well, there's no doubt in mind that I have found my go-to mechanic and will spread the good words.

And absolutely amazing service provider. I've been using them for decades and they are consistently strong in their quality of work and their recommendations. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Between 5 vehicles and over 10 years, both my wife and I have been fortunate enough to rely on Advanced Autowerks. Zach and his whole team work their tails off for their customers. The work is always explained clearly, the work is done with expert precision, and the price is always fair. I literally bought my last car brand simply so I could stay with these guys for our mechanic. All of our interactions here have been smooth and non-confrontational and I find that so refreshing, especially considering how acrimonious and distrustful some mechanics can be. Seriously, if you have an Audi, BMW, Mini, VW, or anything else they can work on, look no farther, this is your new shop.

Great work. Not the least expensive but the quality of the work and the customer service of Zack can't be beat.

My wife and I bought a used car from Zach, they had acquired this VW Tiguan from a lean sale after a customer abandoned it at their shop. We had some unexpected fees at the DMV but Zach helped us out. In my experience this business is run by very honest people with high integrity. I highly recommend them.

Feb 06, 2022

Zach and team run a very honest shop. Brought my A8 in for some love and Zach suggested I not dump $15k into the car for transmission and various engine oil leaks, etc. Bittersweet advice- unfortunately now looking for an RS5 replacement!

Blown away by the professionalism, authenticity and friendliness of Zach and his team! I called the other day and was able to actually get the service manager (zach) on the phone (dealing with dealerships lately has been a nightmare - no one is available and the schedulers/admins aren't very helpful for technical advice). I told him the issue with my Audi Q5 and he took the time to explain, in detail, what the problem could be and what next steps would look like. As a petite blonde woman who happens to know a little about cars, you can imagine how many frustrating encounters I've had with mechanics trying to rip me off or find issues with my vehicles for their benefit. I can already tell that this group is nothing like that. Autowerks is independently owned and operated and they seem to genuinely care about building long-term relationships with their customers. Taking care of a car used to be something that felt like a chore or a headache so it's refreshing to find polite, professional mechanics who aren't jerks. It's amazing what being a nice person can do for business. Highly recommend! *****

I have been going to Autowerks for years and can't say enough good things about Zack and team. Let me start with; I'm on my 5th Audi and can site an event, with nearly all the cars, where the dealership service tried to, or successfully did, rip me off. With AW its the opposite. In more than one occasion they have tried to save me monies. One time they found that while my Allroad warranty was over, there was an extended warranty on the suspension air bags... when AW called me to tell me know, I said, "oh thank you, ill come get the car"...and Zack said, "don't bother, I put it on a flat bed and sent it to your dealer"... Another time I was running late for a flight while dropping off my car, and instead of waiting for a cab, one of the folks at AW stopped what they were doing and drove me to the airport...I am not kidding!! Honest people, great prices, great service!

I was in from out of town & needed my engine light checked along with a 60k service for my VW. Zach really went the extra mile to take care of me and explained everything to me very well answering any and all questions I had. Zach made sure everything was working and was available to help fix all issues. Very knowledgable on VW's and make sure you understand everything going on!

Feb 06, 2021

Only place I trust with my 2003 rs6!

Feb 06, 2021

Prompt, helpful, and professional. The scheduling and drop-off process was easy and the assessment was quick with clear and thoughtful explanations. Highly satisfied with the quality of work, and would absolutely recommend Advanced Autowerks. Next time I need auto work I will be coming here.

Feb 06, 2021

They were fast, efficient, and friendly. I loved the option to get updates via text or email, too.

Feb 06, 2021

After many shops were unable to fix an intermittent issue with an old car that plagued me for too long and then these guy nailed it right away, ever since I've exclusively used them for all my car needs. Time and time again I'm reminded of how good they are, car always run great with no hassle, and the customer service is top notch with everything explained to the level of detail any engineer would want. It's a privilege to have such a great mechanic shop!

Feb 06, 2021

I really recommend this garage. I just take my car here for regular maintenance and I think Zach and his team always do a great job. Prices really reasonable and service is really fast!
