I was considering buying a used Mitsubishi Outlander and brought it for an inspection to Andy, who…read morewas nothing short of amazing. He plugged in his computer and explained what he was looking for, then brought me along on a test drive, pointing out a couple of sounds I hadn't really noticed. Then when he put the car on the lift, he brought me underneath with him and showed me everything he was looking at. He found that all four brake rotors were rusted (which I got the dealer to fix for free, saving me $700), but gave the car the all clear besides that. Overall, an extremely friendly and useful experience. Here's the kicker, though: because he had made me wait for 20 minutes or so, he insisted that I not pay him anything for the inspection. Wow.

They're hard workers and real people who aren't trying to take advantage of you. As long as it's not a sudden emergency, this place is worth the value to get your car tuned up at!

I never got a call and was told later that day the car was ready and was upset to find out that the cabin filter was replaced without asking first. Had to argue to put the one I put in myself back in the car and was still forced to pay the labor to do it as well as the labor to put the old one back in. I decided to give them another shot and to my surprise they don't want to take my car because they are "too busy to deal with checking things and asking if I want this done or replaced before just replacing" ..... what?! I thought he was joking but was serious... what kind of service is this. Just rude, petty, and unprofessional for a service business. Don't go here unless you want things replaced without getting notified until being asked to pay for it. Will be taking my vehicles elsewhere. Highly recommend going to one of the other many local shops

Before I found Frank's years ago, State Inspection time was always a source of 'wonder'...wondering if the inspection was going to go like " Hey sir, I see one of your license plate screws is loose....I can fix it for $25 and you can be on your way". This does not happen at Frank's. Men, women, republicans, EVERYONE is treated with fairness and respect. They perform the necessary inspection points and never try to sell you on anything you dont need to pass. To the people at Frank's THANK YOU for being there and treating us fairly and professionally. Y'all remain the best!

I brought my car there because I needed my struts replaced and brake work.

They shifted all blame to the customer, they said they would make it right with a discounted price on the rears, I should have known after this first experience that this shop was not good but against better judgement I had them do the rear struts which also came out horrible im out thousands and my car drives just as bad as before I brought it to them. the icing on the cake is the careless person who put the old suspension in my trunk threw it on top of my engine cover and it snapped the corner, instead of telling me they glued it back together (which obviously didn't hold) and are completely dodging me after all this. Do not let these people touch your car go somewhere else, don't let these people take advantage of you
