Based on the interaction I just had with the owner, Derek Hughes, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. I was talked to and treated very disrespectfully and unfairly for absolutely NO justifiable reason at all. It is quite possible that they do very good work here but this type of behaviour displayed by the owner is both unacceptable and inexcusable. UPDATE: Derek, the fact that you would reply to this review with LIES in an attempt to save face just shows how unprofessional, insincere, and unapologetic you are. At least your front line staff worker (can’t remember her name, she’s a gem and it’s a shame she works for you) took the time to speak with me and had the decency to apologize on your behalf for your unacceptable behaviour. Firstly, the REAL truth is that I showed up at 9 am for a 9 am appointment, even though you somehow claimed my appointment was at 10 am. In reality I was actually early in your books but somehow you now claim I was late? SMH. Secondly, I spoke with you personally and confirmed this appointment several weeks prior. As I stated to you on the phone and in person, when an appointment is in my calendar, it’s confirmed. I showed up on time and as scheduled because that’s what I do. I am a man of my word. Thirdly, I did not ask to be in your shop hovering over your workers and violating your insurance policies, Derek; that would be silly. I used to work at a Dealership, so I know how these things work. The REAL truth is that this was going to be my first time having my vehicle sprayed by you guys, and you had previously stated on the phone that you would give me an overview of what was going to be done and HOW it was going to be done. That’s what I had asked from you. But again, MORE LIES… because when I arrived, it was clear that you had no real intention of explaining anything and now you are trying to twist the story around in an attempt to save face, yet again. Be authentic, Derek. Hold yourself accountable. Do the right thing in life and try to make things right after you make a mistake. It’s a shame. But you know what? It’s okay… because at the end of the day, you are the one that has to live with yourself, your ridiculous behaviour, and all of your lies and deceit. I don’t know what you’re going through in life currently but it is crystal clear that you are being faced with many struggles or challenges. A quick word of advice: do not take this out on your undeserving customers. You will surely persevere but do so with some class and integrity. I wish you peace and transcendence, brother.

I have been an Advance Auto Care customer for over 20 years. Every time I have come for a wash/wax or rustproofing application, the service and results have been superior. Derek is a subject matter expert in the field of cleaning/detailing/interior/exterior/waxing/polishing/rustproofing/undercoating every area of a vehicle. Where possible, parts and areas of my vehicles appear to be in as new condition after being worked on at Advance. I always recommend Advance to my family and friends for their car care needs. None have ever been disappointed. All have been extremely satisfied with the quality of service. I will continue to put my trust in Derek and the Advance team for my care detailing and rustproofing requirements. Thanks to the Advance team for the excellent service over the years. Robert Nakashima.

I have been seeing Derek and the team for 14 years now. The quality of work and service is impeccable and over the years I have highly recommended them to family and friends. Don't bother with Krown. Derek's product is the real good stuff and you save money in the long run. Don't look any further. Every time I come here, I meet other customers who drive from all over the GTA to come here. You won't be disappointed.

My experience with Advance Auto Care was a great. They don't miss a thing and their one of many specialties is getting any dirt out with their special cleaning products. My carpet was irreversible in colour and they managed to match the discoloration with the rest of my car! Its amazing! And the wonderful aroma in my car is still there. Its been three months. Next appointment is rust proofing.

Super impressed with the quality of the clean! I was convinced my car was a lost cause (2 kids in a tiny car = a big mess!) but they got it looking like new again and far surpassed my expectations. Pricing was very reasonable as well and considerably under what many others are charging; a fantastic deal for a great deep clean!

Dana and Derek and their team are awesome. I've been coming here for years for all my cars and referred many others. We are impressed by their customer service, their work, and competitive prices(I mean better than the rust proof chains) and they do a better job, with better products. Don't look anywhere else!

When I called before getting my service everything was explained clearly. It was my first time there and I was bit nervous as to how my car would turn out. I was very pleased with the end result. Car looked new and all the mats and seats were spotless. Thank you so much, highly recommend …

Exceptional service and quality detailing. The team at Advance did a great job of bringing my baby back to life inside and out. I was especially happy to see some of the light scratches in the finish disappear. My car looks as nice as the day I bought it.

While having my car in for rustproofing, the guys went above and beyond removing a bothersome stain on an exterior panel that I couldn’t get out. I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends and look forward to having them detail my car.

Derek and his staff were amazing... explained in detail what their product does.. booked a time to come in for rust proofing and came out like he said... he was highly recommended by a close friend and i will let as many people know about Advance

If you're looking for a place to get dripless rust proofing done, these guys offer a great service. The price is competitive and they do a nice job. Similar to Krown but their solution does not drip and stain your driveway.

I came in last week because I had an issue with my front tire and Bob was so helpful and made sure my car was safe to drive all the way back to Guelph. So glad I found this place, Bob was amazing thank you so much !

They are the best I had an appointment at 930 for 1 car but they took 2 car in right away even tho I only had 1 car appointment these guy are the best and I always bring my car back .Dana Derek and VJ I thank you

Great overall experience. Amazing job on the car and friendly staff. Even washed my car after the undercoating was done. Competitively priced. Will come back before every winter for the same service.

5 stars all the way! I would highly recommend Advance Auto Care Centre. If you’re looking for 30+ years of knowledge, care, expertise and professionalism this is the place for you. Thank you Derek !

Brought all my vehicles there for their full protection package (rust proofing, exterior paint protectant, and interior protectant). I highly recommend them for their excellent work and great value.

Have been getting rust proofing and detailing for couple of years now. Have been extremely satisfied by the level of service. Great guys Dana and Derek. Awesome service! Would recommend anytime!

Awesome place to bring your car for detailing. They completely cleaned my car inside and out , I was very happy when I came to pickup my car. Highly recommend and affordable price …

Excellent service and experienced, I have 3 cars with them for my rush protection. I always recommend this place to my friends. Thank you Derek and VJ. Great job and keep up the good work.

Brought my recently purchased vehicle in for the new car rustproofing package. Very happy with the end result. Second vehicle I've brought here. Excellent job both times.

So, so excellent. They take great care of my vehicles. I bring them a vehicle full of dog hair, mud, salt and crud, and they make it all disappear …

Amazing detailing services. I go to these guys at least twice a year, once after winter and once after summer. Their express-service is top notch. Can't go wrong.

Detailing and rust protection. Same owner for over 20 years. Quality of workmanship is A+. Do yourself a favor and try them. You will become a customer for life.

Good and simple service. They fixed my stone chip crack but now there's a mark where the fix was. Not sure if this is normal elsewhere but overall pretty happy

Derek is great when. I brought in my Grand Cherokee for rustproofing touchup after an accident. These guys are true hero's! I come yearly for my rustproofing.

Excellent service friendly staff and they did exactly what they said they would ,,,, I use it for my car my mom‘s car and I’ve recommended it for many friends

I have been going to Advance for years. The work they do is top notch and its a pleasure talking to the guys who run the place. I highly recommend them....
