Came in to get my car's AC fixed and had a great experience from dropping the car off to picking it…read moreup. I received and honest diagnosis and reasonable price of the repair and the service was prompt. I will absolutely be taking my vehicle here for future needs.

On 4/14 I brought in an Escalade after replacing the rear brakes because it started throwing multiple warning lights, even though the ABS sensor and brakes were already replaced. I understand newer vehicle technology can sometimes cause glitches even with simple repairs, so I trusted they'd be able to diagnose and fix it. They charged a $130 diagnostic fee, which I was completely fine with. The next day, they said they needed to reset the computer for $390. Since I had already paid for the diagnostic and was told it would go toward the repair, I agreed. The following day, I was told they couldn't reset it and that I'd need a new module for $3,468.54. I declined and decided to get a second opinion from our regular mechanic. I still paid the $390 plus a $13.65 service charge, which I later found out was a credit card fee. The next day, I took the vehicle to our regular mechanic. Within 2 hours, they cleared the stored codes and the vehicle was ready, total cost: $120. No waiting days, no module replacement, and no unnecessary upsell. I waited a couple of weeks before writing this review to make sure the issue didn't come back, and also spoke with Barry to see if anything could be done about the $403.65 I paid. I felt it was unfair to be charged for a service that ultimately wasn't completed. I would've been completely fine just paying the $130 diagnostic fee. Unfortunately, he declined, stating the charge was for their time. I understand time was spent, but from a business standpoint, I wouldn't feel right charging a client for a repair that wasn't successfully completed, especially when the vehicle left in the same condition it arrived. Because of this experience, I wouldn't return or recommend this shop to others. I think it's important for people to know that you may end up paying for work that doesn't actually resolve the issue.

I recently had brake and suspension work done on my Honda CR-V at another auto repair shop. When I…read morepicked up my vehicle, the rear end was noisy and the ride felt unusually rough. I returned to that shop and asked them to inspect it again, but they told me nothing was wrong and recommended replacing my tires for a smoother ride--even though the tires were only three years old and had just 13,000 miles on them. I then brought my car to Frank Honda and Toyota Auto Repair for a diagnostic second opinion. Mike inspected it and called me right away with a serious finding: the left rear brake caliper bolts were missing, and the right front brake caliper bolts were loose from the previous brake job. This was especially concerning because I had already returned to the original shop and been told the vehicle was fine. This issue could have caused the brakes to seize, putting both my safety and my vehicle at serious risk. I am incredibly grateful to Mike and the team at Frank Honda and Toyota Auto Repair for their honesty, attention to detail, and outstanding service. They identified and corrected a dangerous mistake that another shop had made, and I truly believe their work protected me from a serious accident. They have earned my complete trust and will be my mechanics for life.

I came back and they adjusted it in minutes. I came by again to get an oil change and get a bulb replaced. It cost less than the quick lube places.
