Joe embodies the true American spirit, work…read moreethic, fair, humble, can do attitude etc. The work he's done has been top notch, zero complaints about the actual work, honest diagnostic, and cost of parts and labor. The issue that I have with him is his professionalism, scheduling a time slot and sticking to it and not having to hear excuses about something else that came up. What you do is call the client and either cancel or reschedule. Give them the option to choose a different way to resolve the situation they are in. You don't just leave someone hanging who is in need of this critical service while you decide when you will get back to them if you decide to get back to them at all. Very disappointed with my recent dealings with him. I expected way better from as some else here said the last of a rare breed. Just a heads up to anyone else who might be considering him as an option make sure you have a plan B and are extremely patient. Good thing I am in a place where I can control my temper but to be honest... Anyway i'll quit while i'm ahead and haven't said anything insulting and low class but trust me I could. The silver lining is that in a way it has forced me to become more resilient and self reliant and some of the issues I was having that I was gladly will to pay him to fix i've managed to purchase the parts and tools and fix them myself.

For many years, we have entrusted Marlon's Auto Services for tuneup service, auto electrical…read morerepairs and just overall maintenance of our vehicle /s/. As a one-man show, Marlon has ALWAYS provided impeccable service from start to finish. It is amazing how well he oversees all aspects of his business; from the initial contact all the way to the end. We have had nothing less than a professional, friendly and great automotive service from Marlon. AND, let's not forget how reasonable the listed price of his work as well as, the great Customer Service provided.

5 Stars. That's all you really need to know... :-)…read more Marlon is the owner of this business. He used to work at the reputable "Mr. Auto Electric" for many years (I'm guessing 20-30+ years of industry experience) when it was owned and operated by the highly respected and late Mr. Herman De Ala and his loving wife Cris. Mr. Auto Electric had a motto: "When it's an easy job, our competitors gets it. When it's a hard job, our competitors bring it to us." This motto couldn't be more accurate since shops all around Sacramento like Pep Boys would bring and subsidize all their difficult jobs to Mr. Auto Electric and simply slap on the (i.e.) Pep Boy name after. And Marlon was a part of that dynamic team. After Mr. Auto Electric was changed ownership, Marlon went on to start his own business. Like the first review said, he's honest, competent, quick, and thorough. With competitive, fair market pricing at Marlon's Auto Services, Marlon is definitely the Five Star mechanic you should take your precious car to see. He's just what the doctor ordered. Marlon's Auto Services does lack a shuttle so you can either wait in the office's waiting room if it's a quick fix or you can arrange for a ride to pick you up if your car is experiencing some major and/or complex issues. This is because the shop is a one-man operation for now. Hopefully, word will spread out to the rest of the Greater Sacramento region that there is an honest-to-goodness honest and good automotive repair / service shop that anyone can rely on. Then, Marlon's business can expand with a larger facility and more employees so that the lack of shuttle no longer becomes an issue! =^_^= - Homer P.S. This is my very first Yelp review. ...Yay me! :-D P.P.S. Happy New Year Sacramento!

He always does quality work with care and knowledge that many others don't even have. He always has fair prices. This time I just paid our deductible but he has always given us a fair price even when we paid out of pocket. Not only that he takes the time to talk to us and will answer any concerns or anything else on our minds so we are treated like people and not just a number. If you are searching or on the fence jump off here you will happy you did. There is just no place like Frisco Auto Body.

A shockingly high bill out of nowhere. It honestly felt like modern-day robbery. A reputable shop should at least give an anticipated price or range before starting the work, but that didn't happen here. On top of that, their labor rates are easily 3-4 times higher than other shops I've been to, with no real justification. To make matters worse, the shop itself wasn't even a pleasant place to be--it had a noticeable unpleasant smell, which didn't inspire much confidence in their professionalism.

This has saved us the hassle of bring in the car to an auto shop. We had a loud screeching noise coming from our car and Aaron was able to diagnose the problem as a faulty engine belt tensioner. He also picked up on another sound that turned out to be a worn water pump. He also helped us replace the brakes. He took the time to show us the old vs new parts, helping us see and understand the issues. His transparency and technical knowledge gave us full confidence in his work. Not only is Aaron skilled and experienced (15 years of experience), but his pricing is also very reasonable. He never tried to upsell unnecessary work and focused only on what needed to be done to maintain our car. He also worked to find better pricing on parts to accommodate our budget since we decided to take care of a lot of maintenance with him. We are grateful to have found Aaron and will definitely be relying on him for all future maintenance, oil changes, and any repairs needed on our car.
