"I have been going to Frank's for a few years now, and last week had major repairs done and as usual, I was pleased with their services - professional front desk, fast repairs, fair prices, etc. I also bought a new set of tires there and price was good.

Do not trust this company with your vehicle. Went in for an oil change and it started leaking two days later. The owner... wouldn’t own up to it. Ended up costing me $500 to replace. Trash company and expensive. They pry on young people and students.*** Then they say they can't find me into their database. Lies lies lies!!! Be very careful with this company especially if your a college student! I would always get a second opinion.read more

Frank’s is a place I’ve been going to since I’ve gotten a car and since my family has settled in Texas. They... always treat you like family and have quality work. I would highly recommend going to Frank’s for all your auto issues if you live in or near the San Marcos area!read more

I went because my speedometer was stuck at 0. I am a college student at texas state and this is my brutally honest... review of my experience. I called to ask if they took Volvo, I was hit with a rude attitude and abrupt speech. I didn't have any other choice in mechanic since everywhere else was appointment based and wasn't available til the next week. I bit the bullet and went to Franks. They had to run a diagnostic on my car (which cost 100 bucks) then proceeded to call me hours later to tell me that the flat tire I replaced was the wrong size and was the root of the problem. This was the only accurate information. They then proceeded to try to take advantage of me because I was a student. They told me that they had to re calibrate my dashboard with what would be a 200 dollar charge on top of the diagnostic fee. (I called my Houston mechanic and he told me that the car auto calibrates when the correct wheel was on...). I dodged a bullet by not letting them rip me off. They then sent me a list of things that were good and bad with my car. The top of the bad list stated I needed an oil change but I thought that was funny because I got one 3 days ago! The rest of the list said I had to flush every possible system in my car. These people are preying off the students. All the reviews are positive but I just cant see why. I hope y'all make sure you are being charged for what you really need to be fixed. Dont let them take advantage of you.read more

My car is pretty old. At the end of the oil change, they were nice enough to print out and explain which parts and... services were required in the near future if I wanted to keep up with the maintenance. They even wrote the number on the pages in order of high priority to low priority so it would be easier for me to remember which ones needs immediate attention. No other companies have done this or gone as far as they have to explain about it and how long can I wait before they need to be fixed. They’re very nice people.read more

Good overall diagnostic tools and helpful people, but simply overpriced. I got several other quotes for the same work... and same materials that were generally about 3/5ths the price quoted by Frank's. I finally took it to 4-Way Auto in Kyle. 4-Way did the job well, as I'm sure Frank's would have, just at nearly half the price.On a different note, I hope I have written this review kindly enough to not receive a passive aggressive reply from Frank's, as so many other reviewers have. They also misspelled my last name in their system as "Runze", and I have noticed that they often reply to reviews saying that they are not in the system.read more

These guys are my go-to. I LOVE THEM. I struggled for years getting ripped off by mechanics until I found them. Been... going for a couple years now and they’ve always done good by me. They’re reasonable about what needs to get done, and very straightforward with you. I’m always on a tight budget, and they really work with me. Friendly guys that know what they’re doing. It’s great to know my beloved car is in expert hands. Definitely 5 stars!!!read more

I have a daughter going to Texas State and I live two hours away. I do have automotive knowledge but don't claim to be... a mechanic.

Appreciate them taking care of my daughters car and will return if any future problems occur. Thanksread more

I took my car in because it had a low coolant light as I did not want my car to overheat, and in the process I had them... check another issue I had with my tire bearings. They diagnosed my coolant problem correctly, but nearly completely misdiagnosed my tire problem.They're diagnostic summary is very good, state of the art I would say. They send it to you via text and it tells you every thing they checked and their recommendations.One problem that I did have and why I ultimately chose to take my car to a different mechanic, was the gross overcharge that I saw. Frank's quoted me $960 to replace my coolant expansion tank, thermostat, and coolant flush. I called the BMW dealership, because that number seemed a little too high and sure enough, they quoted me $550 max (ended up paying $460). On my tire bearing issue, Frank's quoted me $1400, to replace the bearing on both sides and some other parts... while ignoring that my knuckle was the actual problem while the bearing still had road life. The mechanic that I took it too, charged me $600 less (paid $780) including all the parts Frank's wanted to replace plus the ones it actually needed.My verdict is, I can't never trust Frank's as I cannot see where the $1,100 overcharge would have come from.read more

My experience with this garage was amazing. I came in on a Friday morning before a Monday Holiday. I was interested in... knowing my car’s condition. As a AAA member it was a perk of membership. As a female you don’t know if you are being ‘taken for a ride’ regarding car repair. This garage is not that kind of place. The owner Frank & the shop manager George were all about helping me understand what my car needed and how long I could expect my car to keep going. I have never, repeat, never had an experience so professional and straight up about car repair. Felt at ease about my repair decisions. Then these guys went the extra mile to get the parts and complete the work right then. Will tell everyone who wants a great garage you can trust—that this is the place. My car runs like new & I’m so happy. Job well done!read more

George took great care of me from start to finish. I was in a really sticky situation with my car breaking down on my... birthday and on the first day of my visit to San Marcos. George went over and above to reassure me and treated me as a priority. I knew I was in good hands from the very beginning. He went out if his way to help me. My car was fixed in quick time and they did a great job. Great work, fair prices and great customer service. Thank you George!!read more
