Really great team. Bought a car from here and not only was it treated and maintained right, but the team was also honest and willing to disclose or elaborate on any potential question or issue regarding the car or the included liscense and registration process. They know their stuff and I hope to do business with them in the future.

Fred and his team took great care of my ‘06 Toyota 4Runner! The tire sensor was malfunctioning; they quickly diagnosed the issue and were able to fix it the same day. They also took the time to proactively assess other mileage-related maintenance issues before they potentially became a concern. Fred and his team were very personable, efficient, and all at a great price! I will definitely return for future auto needs!

I had been experiencing problems with my air conditioner in my Ford F-150. I had taken my truck to several local mechanics, and they couldnt seem to fix the issue. I took my truck to Fred at Advance Team Automotive, and he immediately diagnosed and fixed the problem. Fred was extremely professional and competent! I highly recommend Fred Rael and Advance Team Automotive for all your automotive needs. If you want the best, go see Fred. You wont be disappointed!

I am literally speechless. Fred went OVER above and beyond for us. 1st time customers based on the reviews and ratings. One of the best choices I made was to call this place. Long story short is this man could possibly have saved our lives! He replaced our brake pads for no charge because he had thought they would all be at 50% because the one side was. After further inspecting he found out our passenger side front brake pads were metal to metal. He could have easily just said that and charged us. But because he is such an honest man, he told us and didnt even charge. He also didnt charge is labor for a couple of things he fixed because we didnt agree before hand, he just wanted us to have a safe vehicle. Unbelievable customer service. Unbelievable service in general. A God send. Thank you Fred from the bottom of our heart!CHOOSE THIS GUY YOU WILL NOT REGRET YOUR CHOICES!!!!!! Cant beat a great price, but Honesty is the best thing ever! 😁 We now have a mechanic for life!

Thank you to Fred and Kathy and their stellar automotive team for taking such excellent care of me and my jeep! Not only did they diagnose the problem quickly, but they also went above and beyond the call of duty to get me to and from my office while the repairs were being made. I highly recommend this team to anyone in the Albuquerque area!

Review №18

I had a new engine & transmission installed, by them in my Ford truck in 2017and have had nothing but problems with the engine, transmission, & truck ever since! For 3 years I was lied to, & told that it was fine, even though I had numerous complaints, while it was still under warranty. Now Im being told by other mechanics that both the engine & transmission need to be replaced again, & that they dont look new, so the vehicle is a complete loss thanks to their poor service & bad faith! Im also convinced that both parts came from a wrecked vehicle in a junkyard! Despite the owners claims, they did not provide me with any paperwork (other than the $7,000 bill) related to the installation of my engine, transmission, or drive shaft, which was installed at the same time, & also failed within a year! They did me no favors, & actually charged me over $100 to install the 2nd transmission, under warranty. I was not provided any paperwork then, either! What a rip off, & now he can add lying to the public to his rap sheet! What a pathetic & disgraceful response! If you had done any due diligence with my vehicle, it wouldnt be leaking from every pore in the engine & transmission, & the cam shaft synchronizer wouldnt be mangled! You know you did me a disservice, & Im not going to accept your pathetic excuses or lies! You are clearly a disreputable person, Fred Rael, & you run a dishonest business! Good luck to you with that reputation!!!

Review №21

Advance Team Auto is AMAZING! Fred and Kathy are very friendly and polite.They were able to fit me end at the end of day and super helpful! I notice a metal piece hanging from the bottom of my car and had no idea what it was but knew it shouldn’t be there. They told me to come in and they would take a look and give me a free estimate if work was needed. Turns out I had run over an 8 inch knife that lodged itself to the underside of my car. Fred removed it for me right then and there. Even better he didn’t charge me for this service. As a New York native I expected to be charge at least something. Businesses like this, are what makes New Mexico great! Thank you Fred and Kathy!

Had a great experience with Fred and the guys at advance team automotive. Took my truck in for a timing chain replacement to another shop and they messed it up. Fred kept me updated the whole time and did everything he could to fix it and keep me in the loop. He was also very quick with a good turn around. Showed me all the stuff that the previous shop had messed up as well. Very honest and great mechanics. I would highly recommend.

Fit me in last second the day before and was able to get my car fixed up on short notice. Very personable staff. They stayed late and that allowed me to pick my car up.

I can see why this gentleman receives so many good reviews. Good prices and great service. He walked me through my inspection and explained everything that either needed replacement or was on the edge. He even offered me a ride to Starbucks while my car was being looked at. It wasnt necessary though because they were very quick and efficient. If you want honest service without any of the BS you see at a lot of other places, Id recommend this place.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier was having some serious issues and would barely run. I searched Google for a shop near my job and found Advance Team Automotive. They had a five star rating and excellent reviews.So I called them up and even though he was booked up solid for two days, Fred still agreed to look at my truck and fit me into his schedule as best he could. As he worked on it, one thing would get fixed but then something else would fail. Fred and his team stuck with it and never relented. He would call me during the day and keep me updated with every detail. I picked it up today and it runs like a brand new truck. It has not run this good in years. Thank you Advance Team Automotive for all of your diligence and hard work. This is the only shop I will use from now on. By the way, they have an awesome deal on oil changes. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve known Fred Rael for many years. His Aunt Kathy and I went to high school together. Now she’s the friendly face you see when you walk in the front door. Fred Is a good friend and great mechanic. He has done work on my vehicle and kept it on the road. Fred always ensures that his customers are aware of their options. He’s caring, friendly, personable, and above all, concerned about his customers receiving quality work. The Advance Team are dependable, and provide quality service. They will pick up, drop off, or tow your vehicle, if needed. The Advance Team ensures you are satisfied!

After moving to Albuquerque I had such a hard time finding a reliable mechanic that wouldnt screw me over. After much online search and reviews I found Advanced Team Automotive. They worked on my Mitsubishi, they found what was the issue and gave me a quote for the repairs. After the work was done the actual amount was much less than was originally quoted. Never heard of any mechanic doing this. They also worked on my Nissan and after every service they send a nice signed postcard thanking me for taking my car to Advanced Team Automotive. Only place i will take my vehicles is to this place! 5 Stars!

Although I have some knowledge on cars, even as a guy you are wary of those who try to con you or do repairs that arent necessary. Or you get those mechanics which are unprofessional or dont know what they are doing. None of those apply to Fred and this shop. Fred took the time to answer all my questions after his initial evaluation of what needed to be done. He showed me the parts that he replaced. And also provided me information on the warranty for the parts that were replaced. The cost is about what I figured. The truck is fixed and no longer overheating and runs great. Him and the front office with Kathy were great and I would highly recommend this shop for trustworthy analysis and repairs.
