I have trusted this shop with my auto repairs since I moved to Franklin 9 years ago. I totally…read moretrust them with my vehicle. They are always honest and straightforward and they have such a love for what they do, and it shows. I will be a customer as long as I live in this area!!

I walked in looking for a state inspection and walked right back out because of how I was treated…read more This was my first time handling a state inspection on my own, as my ex-husband used to take care of these things. When I first walked in, the woman at the front desk rolled her eyes, was cold, and spoke to me in a condescending and dismissive tone. I went back out to my car to get the information she needed, thinking perhaps I had simply caught her at a bad moment. When I returned, I was met with the same cold, dismissive attitude while she took my contact information. I was already dealing with a stressful car situation, and instead of feeling welcomed or helped, I was made to feel as though I was bothering her simply by coming in for a service their business provides. At that point, I finally said, "That's okay, I'll go somewhere else," and left. I can't comment on the quality of their mechanical work because I never gave them the opportunity to work on my vehicle. What I can comment on is how I was treated as a potential customer. Customer service matters. People walking into an auto repair shop may already be stressed, worried about whether their car is safe, and concerned about how much everything is going to cost. There is absolutely no reason to greet a customer with eye-rolling and a condescending attitude--especially someone who is simply asking for help and trying to understand the process. I came in prepared to give a local business my money. Instead, their customer service sent me directly out the door. There are plenty of other repair shops in the area where customers can be treated with basic courtesy and respect. That's where I'll be taking my business.

Quick state inspection. I experienced a very short wait. They took care of what I needed done.read more

I brought my car here for a Massachusetts inspection. My vehicle was rejected for TIRES. The actual…read moreinspection report they gave me clearly shows PASS for Front End and PASS for Steering & Suspension. While they were doing an oil change after the inspection, I was told that my inner and outer tie rods needed to be replaced. I was also told I needed two new tires and an alignment. I decided not to have those repairs done there and left. I then went elsewhere and purchased four brand-new tires. After replacing all four tires--the item my inspection report specifically listed as the reason for rejection--I returned to this shop for the reinspection and a passing sticker. That is when I was told they would not pass my car unless I also replaced the tie rods. This was extremely concerning to me because their own original inspection report had already marked both Front End and Steering & Suspension as PASS. The documented reason my vehicle was rejected was the tires, and I had replaced all four of them. I have no problem paying for repairs that my vehicle genuinely needs. If something is unsafe, I want it repaired. What I have a serious problem with is being told that an additional repair is required for my vehicle to pass when the shop's own inspection paperwork shows that area of the vehicle passed the original inspection. If you bring your vehicle here for an inspection, my advice is simple: keep your inspection report, read every line of it, get additional repair recommendations in writing, and get a second opinion before authorizing expensive work. An automotive shop depends on customers trusting that recommended repairs are genuinely necessary. After this experience, that trust was completely gone for me. I will never bring my vehicle back here.

In some ways an unusual place in that it is gas and auto service, not a convenience store. This is also a great place to get an inspection sticker.

DO NOT GO HERE. I would give zero stars if Yelp allowed it…read more I brought my car in for an inspection and was told there was a serious safety issue that could potentially be dangerous. Despite that warning, I was offered to leave the lot with the vehicle... and When I picked up the car the following day, I specifically asked whether the vehicle was safe and whether everything had been taken care of. I was told yes. I trusted that answer and paid the bill for $2,900. Unfortunately, the problems with this experience didn't end there. My car was returned to me with a rejection sticky, dirty with oil hand prints on the outside and with an oily/greasy mess inside the vehicle. The interior was left in a condition where I now feel I need to pay for a professional detailing just to get my own car back to an acceptable condition. There were also basic services I expected to be completed that were not. My gas tank was not even half filled, and an oil change not performed. If im paying $3 grand come on... Instead, I was left with a dirty, oily interior that needs detailing and serious questions about the safety of my vehicle. My recommendation to anyone using this business: DO NOT GO HERE.

I've had to CLEAN OILY GRIM AND DIRTY FINGER PRINTS out and off my car after spending OVER a THOUSAND dollars here on TWO different occasions. Also I was lied to over the phone about the car having an alignment done to it when come to find out it wasn't even performed. Went to pick up my car and it was literally driving the exact same way it was when I dropped it off and they said it was fixed... did they even test drive it? I don't believe it one bit. They completely over filled my power steering fluid to the point that fluid was leaking out past the cap/top of reservoir and I had to clean it / take some out . Tell me why it has a min / max fill line on side if it ? Just completely ignore that ok got it . Also it's not ok to park it like shit close as hell to another car in the lot so I can barely open the door / have to squeeze into it when picking it up after spending almost $ 2,000. Don't park it like a half ass dick. Yeah you have a small lot but try harder for your customers!! Never going back here and you shouldn't either !! It's no wonder this place is buried behind 3 other businesses all the way up a hill way out back .... So they can get away with doing shady shit.

I brought my son's car in because of a grinding noise coming from one of the tires. They called a…read morefew hours later and said 'good news, there was a pebble caught in the wheel, we took it out, no charge'. They could have done nothing and charged me a few hundred bucks; they could have done work or replaced parts I didn't need and charged me a grand. Instead, they did the right thing. This is actually the second time they've provided 'over and above expectations' service, and it's the reason I bring all of my family's cars here and recommend it to others. Obviously the news can't always be this good - sometimes you really do need work and it can require costly parts or labor-intensive service, but that's exactly why you need to find a place you can trust.

Called a day ahead to get an appointment set for a tire rotation and an oil change. The man who I…read morespoke to on the phone confirmed that it would take just around an hour (as expected). I dropped it off today at 10:30, planned to run a few errands and pick it back up around noon the same day...the man who checked me in mentioned they would give me a call when it was done. A few hours later I hadn't heard anything. I called the shop around 1:30 to check on the status. They had not even started on my car. Said they were "just now getting to it" Fast forward to 4:30pm and still no call. I called the shop again and was told that they had tried to reach me and thought they left a message. I verified that they had the right number on file - they did. Now picking up my car over 6 hours after dropping it off. Do not bother scheduling an appointment or plan on getting your car back anywhere close to their time estimate.
