Advance Auto Service

Doug did my clutch on my 2017 wrx quote was spot on and work was done amazing and was super fast

Doug and his staff are the best, friendly, honest, very thorough technicians. I purchased a new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, happy to say they are looking after it.Great techs and a local shop to look after you, what's Not to likeGive them a call today, you won't be disappointed

Probably the best Subaru specialists in town. The people here provide service that’s just as good, if not better, to that provided by official dealers. It’s a shame that Kamloops doesn’t have a dedicated Subaru dealership, but with the services offered here, who needs one? (Except for when you have to drive to Vernon or Vancouver to have specialty or major systems repaired, but there’s nothing Advance Auto Service can do about that). The aforementioned inconvenience is the only reason I won’t give 5 stars, but, again, that’s out of their control.

I had advanced auto install my gates timing belt kit and an x-clutch twin disk ceramic performance clutch. Immediately after the clutch was installed I brought the car back and complained as it was insanely noisy and the clutch didn’t grab until 90% had been let out. The owner informed me this was normal for twin plat clutches. I firmly stated that was not correct and he pacified me enough that I left the shop. Fast forward 17 months. Cars in the shop and the throw out bearing was cooked and the pressure plate was improperly installed. The damage to the car is minor but at no time was my clutch properly installed and this could have had major implications. Do your research before bringing your car here I will never go back.

Great work, I am very pleased. Doug is a committed worker, I am so happy to be back in Alberta after all the frustration and towings of my car! Advance Auto, Kamloops is highly recommended any day!!Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Doug was excellent. His shop was super busy and he didn’t have time for a week but, he called as soon as someone cancelled and fit us in. He fixed our other bearing, adjusted our rear brakes and, put two new tires on the van within 3 hours. Our family owns a shop in the Yukon and, we were impressed with the price and, the speed. Would recommend this shop in a minute,

Had my Subaru's engine replaced, runs wonderfully again! Also replaced and fixed my heat shields so no more rattling on those, which is a common Subaru issue after time. Best/only Subaru mechanic is here, along with helpful staff so highly recommended.

Check engine and oil light came on while en route from Vernon. Googled this place and limped to the garage, we didn’t even call ahead. Checked our oil right away and helped us check the codes. Reasonable price for new oil and labor. Thanks so much!!

My car was towed here after being broken down and stuck on the highway just outside of Kamloops. They quickly assessed my car in the morning and repaired the broken serpentine belt by the early afternoon. An hour after picking up my car, when I was leaving town to go home to Surrey, I suddenly remembered my right rear blinker light was blown out. So I stopped back in here to ask my light bulb be changed before I hop on the highway, and asked how much he just said... no worries and he did it out of kindness. Thankyou for such great customer service.

Driving from Vancouver to Calgary had a check engine light on our 2006 Subaru Forrester come on. Called Doug at Advance Auto he said we could drop in to have the codes checked. They identified the problem and had us back on the road in 40 mins. Excellent service. Thanks!
