“I hit a deer and Will's was the first and only stop I made to get an estimate. He was professional and honest. I will be using him to do the repairs to my vehicle.”
“Had to make a stop on our road trip back to Michigan, met Gator an his amazing crew. They were able to diagnose the problem, got me the right parts an went out of there way to get us back on the road. Gators an his crew are amazing an I would highly recommend stopping by an talking to these guys if your having any issues. Highly recommend this store absolute 20/10.”
“I cannot thank Charlie and his staff enough!! I should have written this review last year, but better late than never. Last August, my husband, our two dogs and I were traveling along highway 60 on our way to Chattanooga, TN. We were 20 minutes outside of Dexter, MO when my car’s air conditioner started blowing hot air. We were over 5 hours from home and it was 98 degrees outside.Turned down for help by the Auto Zone and Walmart automotive department in town, I was feeling pretty defeated when I called Advantage Automotive. I called 15 minutes before they closed and expected to be turned away. I explained our situation and the office lady said to bring my car right over and they would take a look. We were treated with kindness the second we arrived. It didn’t take them long to confirm that my AC compressor needed replaced.I immediately thought we’d have no luck getting that replaced in time to continue on our vacation. But Charlie was able to locate a compressor in Springfield and overnight it to his shop. He said it would be in around 8am and they could complete the work by 12pm. We had to stay one night in Dexter, but were so relieved!! Charlie even gave us hotel recommendations and explained where all the restaurants were in town.The next morning two people from the shop came to our hotel and picked up my car then brought it back to us when the work was finished. We were blown away by the generosity of everyone here. They could have very easily told us no or been too booked up to not squeeze us in, but they all went above and beyond! Thank you!I recommend Advantage Automotive to anyone in the area!”
“I highly recommend Tammy Moore, she was beyond amazing and I am so thankful I had her to help me through the entire process. Give her a visit, she's great and the rest of the staff was friendly as well!”

2025 W Business Us Highway 60, Dexter“Had another Walmart (Kennett) mess up a mount and balance on a set of new tires (bad vibration and shaking of the steering wheel), they tried to blame the tires. We came here and had these guys re balance them and they turned out great. These guys know what they're doing and were able to tell us what was wrong with the last balance. We were on our way and the car is good now. Thanks Wade and Tony.”
“Very friendly, helpful, and polite staff. They had a part to my truck already waiting when I arrived (called ahead). Definitely a positive that they treated me like I knew what I was talking about and not second guess me cause I am female (wouldn't believe how often that happens)..”
“I had a bad experience when buying my previous vehicle from a dealer in my hometown of Perryville. I heard about Bud Shell Ford and drove over an hour to deal with some of THE best people. Straight shooters, no pressure, kind and real people. Ask for Phil or Robert and you wont regret it for a minute!! I am in love with my Lincoln Nautilus, all thanks to Bud Shell (and my sister talking me into this brand)????”
