Wow, my first experience with Franks and it was fantastic. Our dealership said we need almost $3,000 in repairs so I brought it into Franks for a second opinion. After the inspection, DJ said the work wasnt necessary, and best to wait until further notice. Pretty impressive!!!

Best auto service I have ever experienced. BJ and staff go beyond good service and treat you like a good neighbor. Can’t recommend enough!

Franks really focused on customer satisfaction. You dont get their level of service anywhere.They are honest and their charges reasonable.

Frank’s did a pre-purchase inspection and produced a reliable report on the car. They also checked on 2 issues a dealer’s service department cited for repairs. Frank’s inspection found the parts to be working properly and thoroughly explained the parts purpose and how they should function. I no longer trust dealer service departments and am glad to have found an honest local business to support.

The warning light on my Mercedes came on indicating there was a problem with the battery or alternator. Trent fit me in and got the problem solved promptly within 24 hours despite the fact that the shop was quite busy and their schedule filled. The work done was outstanding and Trent service was equally exceptional.

DJ and crew walked me through the choices for protecting the cat converter on my 2010 Prius, since 2 nearby neighbors lost theirs in broad daylight a couple blocks away, Saranap portion of Walnut Creek.I elected the stainless steel, which is the most difficult for thieves.Charge was as quoted and competitive with one other shop I checked. Very happy, have used Frank’s for about 15 years. JC

I HIGHLY recommend this shop! We needed our second vehicle repaired asap and this place not only accommodates late drop offs if you work late, but they went above and beyond to deliver great customer service! So happy. I will definitely be using them again and recommending to all my friends.

I see why this place has so many great reviews!! While sadly I did not get a chance to set up an appointment for my car (they were booked solid) because of the emergent need to fix my car they were nice enough to give me another name and number to another auto shop (without me even asking)…I think that demonstrates for this shop it’s not all about the money. :)

I found Frank’s after going to the dealership and being told there were $2500 of urgent repairs. Frank’s helped me understand the dealership report and identify which items needed repair and which just needed monitoring. My bill at Frank’s was only $300 and they took the time to explain each finding so that I understood. I will be going back to them for all future maintenance and repairs!

My Subaru broke down on my way to San Francisco from San Jose. Franks team figured out the issues and took care of them. I am happy with their work and with their communication with me. Thank you, Franks.

This shop is wonderful. Theyre honest, kind, helpful, professional, and Car Talk lists them as a preferred mechanic. Started in 1958, DJ Frank took over the business for his father and is doing a great job. Highly recommended.

Been going to Franks for a number of years and always impressed with the professionalism, courtesy and honesty. For any inspection they give a detailed breakdown of what is essential versus what would be a maybe nice to do. I have never felt pressured or any upsell. Just a solid counsel from Trent and the crew on my options.

Review №19

Went to Franks for routine maintenance on car. They sold me everything under the sun. I feel I was taken advantage of big time, especially knowing I lived at Rossmoor. When I booked the appointment over the phone they kept telling me to bring it in early. They kept my car all day because of all the service they pressured me into getting done. I told them when they were trying to sell me things that I was at their mercy. I dont know anything about car maintenance. If this is a family owned business with only family members working for them, I think its time someone came in to oversee what they are up to. What should have been a couple hundred dollars, I came out with a bill over $1,000.00. SHAME ON YOU FRANKS!

A wiring issue took my Lite Chevrolet pickup in for service. The service rep emailed me a detailed inspection report for the wiring plus 4-5 additional issues (with photos) that had been unattended to by me and my previous mechanic service (oops). Mechanical Issues were prioritized On the email and I was so impressed at the thorough inspection I asked them to do Those previously undiagnosed additional repairs. Quality work, and on time delivery put the bounce back in my 16 year old Chevy . Thanks to the First Rate Crew at Frank’s Auto. DLM -

All of these guys were personable, helpful, timely and always go the extra mile. They helped me with my Mini cooper on several occasions, always sent follow-up texts and they lined me up with one of their affiliates for smog. Id no doubt be a life long customer here if I wasnt leaving state. Highly recommend for any auto service, whether you know anything about your car or not, theyve got you.

Frank’s has always been honest with me and they have done excellent work on my Lexus. I have taken my truck to them for years and I always have a great experience!

Review №24

Frank’s is great! I checked with them because my tire pressure monitoring system registered a problem. After taking a look when I stopped by, they reassured me it wasn’t a serious problem, and I could still drive the car, but nonetheless they were able to get the car in within the next few days to replace the sensor in the tire, since we have a little road trip coming up this week. They also checked to be sure I wasn’t due for any other service, and had the car ready for pickup that same afternoon. Nice people too!

I have been taking my car to Franks Auto for many years. They have always taken very good care of my families car needs. They are very fair and professional and always go above and beyond every time they have our cars. Recently they have incorporated pickup and drop off of cars as an added service given the “Shelter in Place” order which I had to use twice and I must say it went off without any issues. Everyone is very trustworthy. Give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

I saved $300 on my radiator/hose replacement and a/c by going to Frank’s instead of Firestone. Everyone at Frank’s was friendly and professional, the service was done quickly, and my car is in great shape now. I am definitely making this my new place for car service!

Review №37

I brought my car here to get a second opinion and was very happy I did. After evaluating my vehicle and the estimate I brought from another company they did agree with all the items named in my first estimate but they did not agree with the pricing and how it was calculated. They saved me $1k and for that I am forever grateful. When something related to the work came up a few months later they took my car in on short notice as I was leaving for a road trip. Not only did they fix the problem but they did it free of charge as it was related to the original issue. They are prompt, honest and reliable. I wont take my car anywhere else. Thanks DJ and your amazing team!

Review №38

A part I needed was no longer manufactured so there were long delays with my repair. I was ok with this but asked for a quote for the work when a solution was sourced. This was never provided and the repair was far more expensive than anticipated. It was an unwelcome surprise. I do not recommend this business.

I have been going to this business for several years and I don’t have any intention of going anywhere else. Both J.D. and Trent are very professional in dealing with their customers; they’re very punctual in notifying me about the status of our vehicle that’s being repaired.

I was able to bring my car in for a brake inspection on really short notice. Trent was very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had. He was very upfront about the inspection process and results. They were able to do all of the required repairs the same day. Overall, a very satisfying experience.

Frank’s Auto Service And Repair Is The Place To Go To. These Folks Are Incredible, If You Wanna Find An Outstanding Customer Service, Integrity, And Everything Regarding Your Car Taken Care Of Quickly Go To Frank’s. And One Of The Main Reasons Of This Place Incredible Success Is Trent, He Is One Of The Service Advisor, And He Always Does A Super Professional Job. I Live All The Way In Sacramento, And Every Time I Go There, It’s Always Like 1-2 Hours Until Their Closing Time, And Regardless How Busy They Are, They’re Always Ready To Take Care Of You, And Your Car. This Time I Came Over At 4 PM For A Used Car Inspection Knowing That They Close At 5, And As Usual Trent Was Awesome And Was Ok Taking Care Of The Inspection For Me. With No Doubt Frank’s Auto Service Is The Best Maintenance Center I’ve Ever Been At, And I Do Recommend These Folks And Specially Trent For Anything Regarding Your Vehicle.

Ive always had great service from Franks Auto Service and the rides home and back are greatly appreciated. Its great to have all my service on record and get reminders when service is needed.

I found this shop by mistake when I did not know they were there . It seemed to me that it would be a great place to leave my car to have it worked on. I went to see them and they were happy to meet me and gave me a welcome gift envelope. It was full of goodies for my car. I went there with my car and they were very through and let me know the good and bad about my auto. I was delighted and they were HONEST and trusty as can be. I was glad when they were done with my car since it ran better and I get the best gas mileage I could for my car. I have been here now for 5 years and may never go to another auto repair shop with out going to FRANKS first! They do give honest suggestions and advice for me with my auto. I would not be without them. They have a clean shop and very organized for you to see you auto when On the rack which is a real plus when it comes to my car!Go to Franks and YOU will not be disappointed NOT one bit!louise

A bunch of years ago, my best friend recommended Franks when my old mechanics shop closed. Ive been so happy with them!! Theyre HONEST and personable, and the work is first-rate. The shop and the office are squeaky clean, and they always try to help me as much as they can, to take care of my car at reasonable prices. Im very fond of Dave (Dave Frank) and DJ Frank, his son. I really cant say enough good things about this place. Im so glad DJ will be running the business after Dave retires so I wont have to find another mechanic place again ever! (I hope)

I havent been with Franks Auto very long--about two years now, but Ive found them to be very courteous and friendly guys so far. They have a consistently positive reputation among the 9000+ residents of Rossmoor, the retirement community in Walnut Creek where I live. For me, they satisfy a most important requirement in mechanics: They LISTEN.

Review №78

I have been a customer of Dave Frank for over 8 years. Jaguar and Hyundai, no matter. When the autos need routine maintenance Dave and the fellows are there to provide reliable service without trying to up-sell you with services you dont need. We had a thorny problem with our Jaguar and after Dave could not figure it out, he referred me to a competitor who was able to fix the car. The point here is that Dave did not do unnecessary work.Dave also provides home pickup service which is a major plus.WB 4/25/14

I was originally referred to Franks by my son who just had his car repaired and really like the straight forward honest way that DJ and Dave dealt with him. So I took in my daughters older car to get it ready for college across the country. They did a thorough inspection and brought it up to snuff. Next I took in my older commuter car and although it had a hard to come by part needed they took the time to search it out. I really appreciate the low pressure, and the genuine nature of these guys. Check them out if you are looking for a great mechanic. Its usually less expensive to keep a car up then buy a new one.

Review №82

Went to Franks simply check the breaks. The mechanic did not inform me of a price so I assumed it was a free visual inspection that is free at virtually every mechanic shop. After 30 minutes, they come back and charge me $80 for doing absolutely nothing. They completely ripped me off and would suggest no one to ever go here. They should at least informed me upfront or else they can charge whatever they want.

Franks auto Service has been servicing my car for 15 years. That many years tells you how satified I am with all phases of their business. Scheduling an appointment is easy and convenient, If the service will take most of the day, they take you home and then pick up when the car is finished. I highly recommend Franks as they are honest, efficient and very fairly priced.
