Advanced Auto Repair began with an idea Robert’s father had not brought to life.
In 2023, Robert, a fourth-generation mechanic and entrepreneur, founded the company to bring that idea to life: deliver professional vehicle service directly to the customer, with the quality people expect from a traditional service center and a more affordable price point.
We purchased and outfitted our flagship service unit, a 1988 Chevrolet P30 step van, as a fully self-contained mobile service center. It became the foundation for bringing automotive, diesel, and fleet service to customers throughout the Lake Charles area.
Today, our work combines professional mechanical expertise with diagnostic technology and documented service records. Our family history informs the way we work; our commitment to quality guides where we go next.

A service center. With a steering wheel.
Our 1988 Chevrolet P30 step van was purchased and outfitted to be a 100% self-contained service center. It puts the mobile approach at the heart of our business: bring the service unit to the vehicle and make professional expertise more accessible.
