One of the best specialist of European and Japanese JDM cars, performance cars and motorsport cars in Sydney. As a family-owned workshop, their prices are very transparent and usually cheaper than those large workshop.
And the owner Adam is not only an excellent drift driver, but also a great business partner who discusses with clients patiently, helping clients find best plans in both price and performance to work on their cars. For example, he would recommend that for some performance cars that go to track days but not for racing, people don't really need to use very expensive racing grade products like racing engine oil or brake fluids. Instead, there are some performance grade products available even in Repco or SCA that aresuitable for normal track days, and these products are probably much cheaper than those professional racing products, while still providing 80% - 90% performance and endurance.
Besides, they truly take care of every car very well. For example, last time when I had an engine oil service for my car here, the staff even inspected the bottom by the way, and fixed a few easy-to-fix issues like entangled brake cables for free, while offering a detailed list of other issues worthy for attention in the future (like possible brake fluid leak and recommended solutions). That was really great too class service to make very car perfect.
Comparing to another famous Euro car specialist Eurowerke in Sydney, the main advantage of Advan performance is that their prices are usually cheaper. For example, for most of common products like engine oil, Advan’s prices would usually be only a few dollars more than the same specs sold online or in other public markets. And Advan is in Auburn, which is more in the inner Sydney.
But on the other hand, Advan also has so many customers that if you want something done here, you’ll need to book at lease 2 weeks ahead. Eurowerke has much larger workshop and team size with much more equipments, so of course their waiting time would be much shorter (if you’re lucky enough, you can even book the same day). But because of that, Eurowerke is usually more expensive than Advan (but still much cheaper than the dealer). For example, for one of the car specs, the price of Microfilter service in here would be around AU$120, and around AU$168 in Eurowerke, and around AU$300 in some dealers.
