After years of searching, I've finally found the absolute BEST auto mechanic, close to home,…read moreprofessional and thorough, with the most personable and solicitous personnel, namely Allison. Fran's Automotive will provide you with honest, fair, and timely service, and insure that the job is done properly and completely. Fran replaced my thermostat housing in one day, in fact, diagnosed, replaced, and drove my car briefly to be certain all was well. Unfortunately for me, Fran found an additional issue after driving: one that's been noticeable to me for well over a year as a burning smell every time I drive the car and one that I chose to ignore (not smart on my part but ignorance is bliss lol). Turns out, there's a gasket leaking engine oil onto the manifold (I think that's what she said lol), thereby causing the odor. Fran is extremely busy, but they're fitting my car in next Thursday to correct this issue, too, again at a fair price, and I couldn't be more grateful. Lastly, I need to tell you about Allison (she runs the office). You couldn't ask for a nicer person to deal with! And not only is she extremely personable, but she offered to take me home when I dropped the car off, and she picked me up when the job was finished! When you're completely alone, this kind of human kindness is so rare, especially during a pandemic when you really don't want to call an Uber. This meant more to me than I could ever express, and she's offered to do the same next week when I return. Fran's Automotive has earned my trust and gratitude, and this review stands as a testament to that to anyone reading this. If you live in Wolcott (or anywhere else, for that matter!), instead of getting towed by AAA to the distant garages recommended by them, take or tow your car to Fran's: you won't be disappointed!

The Wolcott area is filled with auto-repair options with Bristol and Waterbury on either side of…read morethe town. I've used several different places over the years but none of them have been as satisfying as Fran's. Fran has probably done work on 10 occasions on 3 different vehicles over the last 9 years (with some other repair shops between) and if he has the open schedule, I will pick his shop everytime for anything outside of tires or oil changes. His turnaround time is excellent. Fran will have me usually drop my car off the night before. He has it diagnosed and repaired usually within the following working day. If he cant finish it before the end of day, he will let you know prior to doing the work. He also won't add on extra work. He will inspect and detail out what's causing the issue that you may be experiencing. So far I've yet to have an issue with the work completed on my vehicles. Fran's work has held very well and if I had any issues I'm sure he would stand by the work he did. I highly recommend using Fran's shop for your next car issue. You will be taken care of .

Then the tire blew, or whatever it was that happened to the vehicle. It was after hours, and luck had it, we were across from Steller's. We parked the Jeep in their lot, left a note, with the key on the driver side tire. First thing Friday morning my brother called to let them know what happened & if they could fix it. Not only did they do the job in the same day, they also stayed late past closing so we could return to get the Jeep that evening. Everyone was charming & kind. Again, thank you guys, next time we'll have a scheduled visit, rather than an emergency.

As a female I am always worried about getting scammed at a garage but I figured they have been in business for a very long time so let me give them a try. The price was reasonable and they were very nice. Like everyone else I hate spending money on my truck when there's nothing wrong with it but Honda recommends this service to be done at 100K and I was at 103K so I bit the bullet and spent the $1370. I am so glad I did. My truck runs like new. I had no idea how much better it would run with having this done. Steller's has got themselves a new customer! The price was good, they were nice, they did the job in a day and they never tried to upsell me anything else. The did the service I asked for and that was it. Not pushy like the Honda dealer. I'm so happy I gave them a try. I'm more than happy with the service. I will continue to go here for all services needed.

Oil change cost half of what i was previously used to at a local "oil change" location. Very happy with that.

In short, I highly recommend K & J for your maintenance and repairs. Honest, professional and pleasant experience, always.

I still needed to swap my rear tires, and I had to be somewhere in a couple hours. After explaining this he had his guys end their lunch early to help me out. As soon as I got there they stopped what they were doing, threw my car up on the lift, swapped my tires in less than 5 minutes and then I showed them what happened to the jack point so they could inspect it for damage to the frame of the car. After all that he charged me $20 and when I tried to give him more, he wouldn't let me. Again, it was a simple tire swap so I can't speak to anything more than that, but their service and willingness to help and be flexible would make me recommend this small local shop.
