Franco's Auto Service has been in Kamloops for, well, as long as i can remember and arguably the most respected independent auto service business in Kamloops. Franco's unofficially specializes in the higher end European and Japanese vehicles but don't worry he will work on your POS as well :P Franco is one of those old school European trades people, he takes his craft and reputation VERY seriously. An ex-Ferrari race mechanic (yea, no kidding!); although, he has long since stopped turning wrenches himself and has focused on running his business. I understand that Franco expects the same pride in their craft of his technicians as he has, thus they are among the best in Kamloops. Francos' boasts very clean, bright and organized facility... I don't think eating off the floor would be recommended, but you probably could, safely. A full service shop, from oil changes in your Ford Focus to replacing the transmission in your 5 series BMW, at rates that are better than the dealer. Aside to the service, Franco does deal in used vehicles to a minor degree (usually 1/2 dozen vehicles at a time), offering mostly VW and Honda. These cars are generally in very good shape, thus not cheap used, but quality used.

(I Had winter tires installed at Hansons after having them shipped there from blackcircles.ca)…read moreI am Absolutely appalled and embarrassed by the complete and utter lack of respect / care / skill / honesty , and integrity of the service I received !! *Please note - I have spoken to the owner to try and rectify this situation, and he refuses to take any accountability whatsoever . The next time I drove following my appointment , I noticed I had 4 missing wheel bolt caps covers . I then examined each of my wheels ,and the bolt caps remaining were all damaged and cracked around the edges . Next thing I noticed was the centre caps for 2 of my wheels had also been broken. Both of them were barely on and sticking out ,and when I removed them saw that the clips that secure them to the wheel had been broken and the insides were warped . He claimed I'm a liar ,and said he is not responsible for anything broken or missing that he worked on . I can guarantee all parts prior to my service were there and not damaged . I will add that one of the tires came In with a spare ,and when surrendering over the keys and wheel lock ,the 4 wheel bolt caps belonging to that tires wheels were placed into his hands . I asked for him to replace the missing and broken parts for me , and he flat out refused . I then rightfully let him know I will be leaving a review that will accurately reflect my experience , and that I should also communicate on Facebook letting people know if they plan on going there ,to take photos of their vehicle before in case they end up in a situation like myself . Henry , I recommend you read the customer service mantra on your website and make some adjustments because you do not practice what you preach . There is no need to reply to my review unless you would like me to send you the invoice for the replacement parts. I think I've said everything that needs be be addressed . Thanks

Be Aware. Take pictures of your wheels before you allow work to be done…read more Reach Tire's ownership is not putting the customer first. I had a horrible experience with this business. I went to them to have a new set of wheels installed and the month old wheels on the vehicle removed. After the service both sets of wheels showed damage in the form of scratches around the perimiter of the wheels. The brand new wheels were also covered in sealant, grease and grime. It appeared there was little care and effort applied to the work. The manager and customer service representative were apologetic and very accomodating. This business is lucky to have Andy and Mal. After sending pictures to the manager, he committed to repairing the brand new set and possibly buying the month old set off of me - he communicated the owner wanted to see them himself. After viewing the month old rims, the owner formed the conclusion that they were "used", that the damage was pre-existing and that it was not caused by his employees. Strangely he then wrote, "the damage is extremely faint and minor". I wonder if he would feel the same if the wheels belonged to him and he had paid to have them removed. He formed this conclusion without seeing the rims before the work was performed. The abolutely insane part of this scenario is that the scratches are identical on both sets of rims. When pics of the damage are viewed side by side it is undeniable they were caused by the same tool/process/force. I am struggling to understand how he is willing to take responsibility for the identical damage done to one set, yet not the other. His words suggests he believes a certain level of damage is acceptable. Further, he insisted that the process of powder coating the new set was going to result in a better finish and he was happy to pay for that. In fact this never happened and they were instead simply spot repaired. Through this process I had to provide an alternate set of rims to be used while the others were sent away, and I spent 3 weeks waiting for the turn around (which was promised to be 1-2 weeks). During that time there was zero communication. Further, the owner never reached out to me to discuss the issue or see what my expectations were to make things right. Instead he had his manager text me his decision, and said I could call him if I wished. A good business operates by initiating tough conversations and reaching common ground through effective communication. This owner did neither of those things. Reach Tire's owner hid behind a claim of being a, "small business that stands behind what they do" without actually doing so. There is something wrong when a customer pays a business money, has their property damaged and is then made to feel they have done something wrong. As I said, take pictures before you allow this company to work on your vehicle. Shocking.
