Very impressed with the friendliness, professionalism and quality of Rocco’s work here. My wife’s AC compressor got stuck and needed to be replaced. Most places quoted very high prices to replace it but this was by far the best deal. They were able to do it right away and finished the job in just a few hours, where the other places said 2-3 weeks before they could start and at least 1-2 days to finish.Most importantly though is the way businesses treat their customers. It is not often that you find people who treat you like family but Rocco has earned a customer for life out of us. I recommend this place 10/10!

The a/c went out on my 2013 Nissan Pathfinder recently, and Roc was able to diagnose the problem and give me an estimate in a timely manner. Job was done in less than 3 days, just in time for this summers heat and important travels. Owner takes pride in his business, guarantees his work and is 100% honest and efficient. $ Fair pricing. 10/10 Definitely would recommend. Thanks Rocco!

I had my car at the dealership in and they wanted to charge an astronomical amount to repair my a/c. Looked around on Google and found the outstanding reviews for Rocco and his shop. We called, he gave us a fair quote, got me right in, completed the job in a day, and the price was exactly what he had quoted. This gentleman has pride in his work and does what he says he will do. Thank you Rocco for the ice cold a/c, and thank you for truly caring about your customer. Highly recommended!!

I brought my 2007 Dodge Ram here based solely on the reviews and they were 100% right. Rocco is a very good mechanic. He fixed my A/C quickly and it’s working like new. I also thought That I might’ve needed new brake pads due to a noise the drivers side front wheel was making. After checking it out he said my pads where fine and the noise was from the hubcap being loose so I appreciate his honesty. All around high marks. Good service, good price, no frills and honest. I highly recommend.

My Honda developed an ac problem. I brought it to Advanced Auto Repair where Rocco diagnosed the problem and was able to make the repair quickly and at a very fair price.. Rocco is extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. I would not hesitate to use Advanced Auto Repair in the future, and I highly recommend him. So glad we found Rocco and Advanced Auto Repair.

I took my 2012 Kia soul on 2 different occasions to be repaired for separate a/c issues based on the amazing reviews of this place. Every 5 star review was not a lie! Rocco was very kind and trusting. I could have brought my husband with me, but I believed and felt very comfortable that he was being fair, which is very important nowadays for woman. He went out of his way to locate hard to find parts for this vehicle before giving any quotes to ensure I got the best pricing possible. He was more than fair with his labor cost and finished when the job was complete and done right. Ill always bring any of my 3 vehicles here or recommend anyone I know. Thanks a billion Rocco!!

Honest, no nonsense air conditioner repair to a very difficult vehicle. He asks a lot of questions and listens very intently. His prices are fair and he is honest. Doing business with Roc is like doing business with an old friend. The 5 star reviews are absolutely right....

Took my work van here after being incorrectly fixed, found out that the previous person did more damage that anything else. Rocco called and and showed me all the failed parts! I was in shock! I couldn’t believe how unsafe this work van was that I working out of. After he prefers the parts like ball joints brakes etc and fixed it my van is now back in service safely getting jobs done!!! Can’t thank this place enough. Now that I know about this place I’ll never go anywhere else bottom line. He doesn’t upsell for bigger tickets. He works according to what is realistic and affordable. Very honest shop. No wonder this place is so busy

We were from Michigan and had car issues. Roc was quick to get us in,worked with our schedule so we could still get to our vacation and worked late into the evening just to get us back on the road in time. Price was good and he was honest and clearly explained everything as he went along. This is the 2nd time we have went to him while in Florida. Great customer service the first time made me return to him. I would recommend him for any and all repairs. Professional and knowledgeable. Went above and beyond to accommodate us.

The best that I can say about Rocco is that the man is an artist. Works hard, works smart; WONDERFUL RESULTS!!He fixed my old Tahoe after 3 other experts couldnt find the problem over 3-4 years of trying. Some of them had 2 to 3 cracks at it. Rocco fixed it.So, when it was time to get my wifes 2006 Dodge Ram recharged, he was our go to guy. A leaky evaporator was the culprit for the coolant leak, meaning the dashboard had to come apart. Because of scheduling issues, we delayed getting it done so he could order the parts and get it done without delay. But thats not what happened. A 2 or 3 day project became a week. This is not a complaint in any way because what we got back was a truck that finally worked right, like it never had before.A little background might help. We bought this truck used with low miles and have kept it in pristine condition, but the A/C NEVER worked right; EVER! It blew cool, but the fan made lots of noise without blowing much cold air from any of the vents. Eventually, the cab would get cool, but more by osmosis, than intention or direction. and cold air never blew into the back seat.What Rocco found was door flaps and seals that were not working, and in need of replacement, and two major parts missing from the under-dash system; apparently left out by a previous attempt at fixing an A/C problem. And the guy who screwed it up had the nerve to stick a business decal on the blower housing like he was proud of his work. Thats what took the extra time. I really dont think that anyone, other than Rocco would have taken the time and had the patience to figure it out, fix it right and explain it all throughout the process. Now, the truck works like new: cold air anywhere you direct it to.Kudos to you Rocco.

I had an incredible experience with Rocco at his auto shop. He was attentive, amiable, and very professional in his work. He explained everything he did and made sure I understood everything that his team was doing. I highly recommend this shop to anyone that is looking to get their car repaired!

I met Rocco today and explained my AC issue to him and before the close of business he found the problem that 2 previous mechanics and a dealership could not figure out! Rocco communicated with me as necessary and he asked before making any repairs. During our conversation, it was easy to understand why he has so many 5 star reviews. Not only is he a master at his craft, he understands business and how to please people. He is a genuine person who truly cares how people are treated in general, even outside of business. I will refer everyone I can think of to him without hesitation. The search for a highly competent, reliable, friendly and honest mechanic ends with Roc!

While traveling through the area, our a/c went out. So, we searched reviews and found Advanced Auto Repair and Rocco and Matt. Rocco took the time and identified the problem. We spent the night and the next day Rocco and Matt got the a/c working again like new. Hard to add much to these reviews - exceptional experience in a tight situation. Thank you Rocco - you arethe BEST!!

I usually work on my own cars, but we just moved down here and I dont currently have a place to do car work or have my tools down here yet. My old truck was misfiring badly. So, I was prepared to take it in the tailpipe :) Rocco and his crew diagnosed quickly using the codes it threw, and did only the necessary work. Didnt even install a new part, just cleaned the part I had. I would normally expect a garage to take advantage and throw the kitchen sink at it, replacing several parts that could be attributed to missing and hesitation issues, not even fix the problem, and slap me with a big bill. No big bill, no unnecessary work. Truck is running great now. I found a shop that I can trust. Thank you sir.

Rocco is the man. I needed my AC repaired on my 2008 Mercury and he was fast, reliable, extremely trustworthy, and always kept me in the loop on the progress of my vehicle. This is the place to go to If you want good work done by trustworthy people. Thank you Rocco!

My 2006 Ridgeline AC stopped working proper. I was expecting to pay 3 times the amount I did. Rocco did a great job to identify the issue and to turn around and address it once I gave the OK. Highly recommend Rocco for any auto AC repair needs as he not only provides great work but does this in a cordial and professional manner. Thank you Rocco for your excellent work! I hope this continues your five star streak you certainly deserve it.

Great AC experts! I took my Lexus to a dealership and they did not find the problem. I took my Lexus to an AC shop (in another state) and they did not fix the problem. I brought my Lexus to Roc at Advanced Auto and the problem is finally fixed! I wish that I had come here first! Thanks Roc.

Without a doubt the best shop in town. Saved me a ton of money and time. The ordered my starter for my work truck the day before installing it. I stopped by the next morning before my first job and they had it installed in less then 30 minutes. They have worked on my other vehicles as well and I am always impressed with their work and prices.

Its insane how everyone gives Roc 5 stars. But, I know each and everyone one is being completely genuine. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would in a heart beat. I cant even begin to describe the lengths he is willing to go to not only get the job done, but completely satisfy any one who walks into his shop. Not only is he an amazing mechanic (I mean true master), he has a huge heart and operates in integrity, before anything else. Its hard to find that in the auto business. Heck, its tough to find, in general. Roc is a true blessing and inspiration. Truly recommend him to anyone for any automotive issue.

Rocco is a rare auto professional who provides honest troubleshooting and estimates. I will recommend his company to all of my family and friends. Btw, he fixed my AC system, converted my rear air bags to standard coil over shocks and replaced my rear brake rotors and pads for a fair price.Thanks Rocco

If you looked up the worst AC to fix my Dodge charger would be at the top. Rocco is the man. Quoted me a fair price, got me in quickly, explained the process, sent me pics of the progress, and even came in to finish me up on a Sat so Id have my car for the long weekend. There is literally nothing else you could ask for. I highly recommend him.

Took our SUV to Rocco to inspect our A/C system late one day after picking it up from Pep Boys. PB had told us our compressor was bad and gave us a quote of over $1000. Needless to say we wanted a second opinion. Rocco spotted a few minor issues right away.The next day we had ice-cold air blowing like it never had before, not even when it was new. Down the block I had to turn it down because my knuckles began to ache it was so cold.I found the price charged to be very reasonable and competitive and Rocco was courteous and genuine. I also liked he did not speak ill of what was clearly incompetence on the part of the Pep Boys tech who misdiagnosed our issue so terribly. what a blessing.

For what a strangers recommendation is worth: I highly recommend this place. Highly satisfied with this shop. Fast, friendly, knowledgeable work done at this shop. Needed an AC compressor replaced was willing to do it for an amazing price below other estimates I was given. While doing the work they caught the source of my oil leak that my backyard mechanic told me was from my compressor. Explained to me what needed to be done to fix both issues and got it done. Will look forward to my next break down! haha not really. But at least there is a trustworthy shop in this town. Give Rocco &/or BJ a call!

I took my 04 Explorer Sport Trac to Advanced Auto Repair because of some front wheel bearing and ball joint issues. Rocko did an outstanding job fixing all of the problems and charged me a fraction of the price of the competitors. He is a hard working and honest mechanic, that truly is a master of his craft. I would recommend Advanced Auto Repair to anyone with Front End issues.

Hey Rocco,Great job, no, fantastic job! When I heard that the A/C evaporator was bad I was apprehensive knowing the dashboard had to come out, but you fixed the AC and everthing went back in perfectly...no rattles, broken clips or parts..you even fixed an intermitent clicking noise that has perplexed the dealership for years?I also appriciated that you stayed late to get the brakes done so he could go back to college without any car issues... Also, your price came in alittle lower that expected which is always a welcome relief! Lastly, the entire experience was pleasurable, that cant always be said about many dealership experienes. Nice job... no, great job my friend!Gregg SepessyBradenton

Rocco has been so great to us. He is an honest mechanic which is hard to find these days. Other shops try to upsell us or charge for unnecessary repairs we cant afford, but you wont get that with Rocco. He is very straightforward, keeps you in the loop, and doesnt do repairs without running it by you first. You can tell just by speaking to him that he is an extremely hardworker who takes pride in his work, and his work really does speak for itself.I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a mechanic!

Showed up Monday morning July 2nd with dead A/C compressor. Since family was staying for a month, but I only had a week, Roc jumped on the repair for us. Even with July 4th in middle of the week, he fixed my car, keeping me updated of the progress by text even late in the evenings. I highly recommend his work and applaud his work ethic. Now were back in Virginia and the car is running cooler than ever. Thanks Roc you rock!
