If you're ready to have your automobile FIXED RIGHT the FIRST TIME

Then you've come to the RIGHT PLACE because that's what we do...

EVERY DAY!

FIXED RIGHT the FIRST TIME or we make it right at no extra cost to you...
it's time to experience honest and accountable auto repair service.

Let Advanced Auto Repair take your auto repair experience to a whole new level by giving you service you can count on!

Dear Auto Owner,

There is nothing worse than getting into your car, truck, or SUV and discovering you have a problem. On top of it all, it usually happens at the worst possible time.

A problem worse than this is not knowing who you can trust to fix it right...

When this happens, you need:

  • A shop you can trust not to rip you off.
  • A shop that will fix it right the first time.
  • A shop that will let you know honestly if you have any other trouble brewing under the hood.
  • A shop that genuinely cares about your safety and your wallet.

At last, relief is just around the corner.

My name is Tommy Nickelson and I’m the owner of Advanced Auto Repair. I’m so glad you’ve stopped by our website. In fact, you are the whole reason this site is here.

Advanced Auto Repair is different from other shops here in Denton. Sure, on the outside we look pretty much the same as the next repair shop. But, as I’m about to show you, we’re very different on the inside.

You see, we specialize in individually customizing and performing scheduled maintenance that meets your specific needs. We’re 100% committed to diagnosing today’s complex vehicles with precision accuracy and speedy turnaround times.

To make sure we can fulfill this commitment, we took the plunge and purchased the same state-of-the-art equipment used by leading dealership technicians.

Here's what this means to you…

At last – a clear-cut solution that quickly pinpoints problems…
and fixes them right the first time!

For example…

In the past, we have found certain check engine light problems (i.e. misfire, oxygen sensor, and others) that just couldn’t be fixed with the replacement of individual parts--or even all of the parts related to the trouble codes.

The reason?

Sometimes there are vehicle software issues falsely reporting problems that don’t really exist. So no matter how many parts you throw at the “check engine light” problem, you cannot fix it.

The reason is because the problem is software related and you simply cannot fix bad software with good parts.

The equipment we’ve invested in not only repairs check engine light problems with pinpoint accuracy and laser-like speed, but it also corrects premature failures of expensive components.

We now use the same capabilities for correcting transmission problems or changing shifting points – effectively preventing premature transmission failures – that the dealerships use due to our purchase of automobile manufacturers' updated software.

This technologically superior equipment and software puts Advanced Auto Repair light years ahead of other shops in the Denton area.

Consider this – a simple software update can save you from suffering a $2,000 or $3,000 transmission repair! Now, every time one of your vehicles is in for regular servicing, we will use this new software and equipment to perform the latest corrections that will keep you safely on the road.

Because we are now one of the most complete, technologically advanced shops in Denton County, we have the capabilities to repair virtually every vehicle from any manufacturer…

GM Saab
Ford Mazda
Honda Chrysler
Toyota Nissan
Jaguar Hyundai
Dodge BMW
Volkswagen Mercedes Benz
Buick Pontiac
Jeep Volvo
Kia Audi
Lexus Acura
Subaru Hummer
Peugeot Infiniti
Isuzu And more

How is this possible?

Because nearly all 1996 & newer vehicles support the J-2534 universal pass-through reprogramming due to EPA requirements of OBDII requirements.

I know that sounds like a mouthful, but what it really means is this…

We understand that keeping your vehicle operating at peak performance is critical to your safety and convenience. Our goal is help you meet that challenge by being your “one stop auto-care shop” for all of your vehicle service and repair needs.

Our credentials:

  • We employ only ASE Certified Master Technicians and ASE Certified Advanced Level Technicians so you’ll rest easy knowing your traveling safety and comfort is in capable hands.

  • We're AAA Approved with a 98.2% customer satisfaction rating.

  • We're a member in good standing with the DFW Better Business Bureau.

  • We're a NAPA Auto Care Center (NAPA parts must meet and in most cases they exceed original equipment specifications).

Our promise to you:

  • We’ll individually customize maintenance programs to optimize your motoring experience.

  • Our repairs are backed by an 18 month/ 18,000 mile warranty (which ever comes first).

  • Complimentary shuttle service to home, work, or school and back (within a 15 mile radius of our shop).

  • To provide you with peace of mind and reliability through the use of state-of-the-art computerized equipment and software.

  • Comprehensive computerized service records, ensuring the most cost effective preventive maintenance for your vehicles.

  • 24 hour towing available.

  • Customized payment terms (including all major credit cards and personal checks).

In addition to the above, we are a Texas Certified-Recognized Emissions Repair Facility (RERF). This means we are inspected by the State of Texas for required training, proper certifications, and proper equipment to accurately diagnose and repair emission failures. We are one of only seven RERF’s in Denton out of over 80 repair shops.

Let me ask you an important question...

Isn't it time you trusted your auto repairs to a AAA approved shop, a company that uses dealership quality diagnosis equipment & software and stands behind a fix-it-right-the-first-time guarantee?

You see, our guarantee eliminates frustration because you can be sure when you drive out of our lot, you will not be right back in for the same repair.   It’s fixed or we'll have you bring it back to our shop and you won't pay one penny more. I promise!

In fact, in the unlikely event you do have to bring your auto back, we'll give you a $100 U.S. Savings Bond for your inconvenience.

So pick up the phone and call us today at
940-382-1691 and schedule your appointment.  Or click here to schedule your appointment online.

To your driving safety and pleasure,

Tommy Nickelson

What our customers are saying!

"...you knew what was wrong from the git-go..."

“We had taken our vehicle to a couple of places. They said there was nothing wrong with our car. But we knew there was something wrong.

When we brought our vehicle to your shop, you guys knew what was wrong with it from the git-go. We like that kind of service. Thank you!”

"...cars now are in great shape."

“Leslie and I want to thank y'all for the great job y'all did working on our cars. The service was great -- very professional, and the cars now are in great shape.”

Doug & Leslie

"As a single woman I appreciate the time your employees took to explain..."

“I'm writing to express my thanks & appreciation in the courteous professional way I received service at your establishment on Sat., Nov. 29th. Being desperate to find repair for my Mazda Protégé, I turned to the Yellow Pages -- great ad -- told me everything I needed to know and then I was totally surprised by efficient, speed service I received when I arrived.

As a single woman I especially appreciated the time your employees took to explain the problem and repair options.”

N. Martin

"...honest and want to make your customers happy..."

“Your company is great -- your employees are honest and work hard for their customers. Others are just worried about getting business, not customer service. Thanks!”

K. Roberts

"Competitively priced, top-notch service..."

"Competitively priced, top-notch service, 100% satisfaction guaranteed, these are a few of the reasons I trust Tommy Nickelson and his professional team at Advanced Auto Repair to take care of my fleet of business vehicles, and my personal ones as well.

I started going to him for all of my auto maintenance and repair needs since the spring of 2000. I always get the personal touch, Tommy is always accessible, and he firmly stands behind his work.

I highly recommend Advanced Auto Repair if you’re looking for a solid, trustworthy, state-of-the-art technology shop."

Kerry Goree Insurance Agency

"You can trust this guy!"

As a construction contractor, my company vehicles are running the roads constantly. With a fleet of six company vehicles, I need to make sure they are maintained right and when repairs are needed, they have to done right the first time!

That’s why for over five years I’ve trusted Tommy Nickelson and his professionals at Advanced Auto Repair. He takes care of me like a brother.

One time I was working on a job in Oklahoma and my vehicle broke down. This could have been a costly disaster for my company because of down time. But all I had to do was pick up the phone… call Tommy… and he immediately had a replacement service vehicle sent up to me plus he had my own vehicle towed to his shop.

Personal service like this is hard to find these days. You can trust this guy!"

Russell Wagoner
Carotex Construction
Hearn, TX

And thank you."
