Jerry said to bring it in and he'll see what he could do with it even though that wasn't his business. After two hours of trying everything it was apparent that only a Porsche dealer could "code" the radio. Jerry is an amazing man who loves a challenge, and hated conceding. Even though he spent all that time he didn't ask for any compensation whatsoever. I told him that even though I live in Southbury, I'll be bringing my cars to him from now on. I would rate him 6 stars if I could.

The nerve !! after finding a Groupon coupon ! I called & they told me come on down to the price oh wait NM that's a game show!! Jk They hooked my car to a machine, & Jerry explained to me it was testing for leaks, pressure , & im sure a few other things ! It took maybe 25 minutes, they have great AC & TV for those that don't work from their phone or brought in a book to past the time !! After a tweak or 2 to my car I was soon on my way to feeling that Artic cold air as I ride through the end of summer !! Let me add the Groupon coupon Savings was for a different service Jerry's Auto offers & not what I came in for!! I didn't really read the fine print !! But he was awesome & let me use my Groupon but pay the difference of like a few more magic beans !!! It's hard finding a good mechanic / shop !! But they exist few & far !!

My van has very high mileage but I need a van to move big items for my business, and I cannot afford a new van and don't like the newer models because they don't have as large a capacity to carry.

The Wolcott area is filled with auto-repair options with Bristol and Waterbury on either side of…read morethe town. I've used several different places over the years but none of them have been as satisfying as Fran's. Fran has probably done work on 10 occasions on 3 different vehicles over the last 9 years (with some other repair shops between) and if he has the open schedule, I will pick his shop everytime for anything outside of tires or oil changes. His turnaround time is excellent. Fran will have me usually drop my car off the night before. He has it diagnosed and repaired usually within the following working day. If he cant finish it before the end of day, he will let you know prior to doing the work. He also won't add on extra work. He will inspect and detail out what's causing the issue that you may be experiencing. So far I've yet to have an issue with the work completed on my vehicles. Fran's work has held very well and if I had any issues I'm sure he would stand by the work he did. I highly recommend using Fran's shop for your next car issue. You will be taken care of .

After years of searching, I've finally found the absolute BEST auto mechanic, close to home,…read moreprofessional and thorough, with the most personable and solicitous personnel, namely Allison. Fran's Automotive will provide you with honest, fair, and timely service, and insure that the job is done properly and completely. Fran replaced my thermostat housing in one day, in fact, diagnosed, replaced, and drove my car briefly to be certain all was well. Unfortunately for me, Fran found an additional issue after driving: one that's been noticeable to me for well over a year as a burning smell every time I drive the car and one that I chose to ignore (not smart on my part but ignorance is bliss lol). Turns out, there's a gasket leaking engine oil onto the manifold (I think that's what she said lol), thereby causing the odor. Fran is extremely busy, but they're fitting my car in next Thursday to correct this issue, too, again at a fair price, and I couldn't be more grateful. Lastly, I need to tell you about Allison (she runs the office). You couldn't ask for a nicer person to deal with! And not only is she extremely personable, but she offered to take me home when I dropped the car off, and she picked me up when the job was finished! When you're completely alone, this kind of human kindness is so rare, especially during a pandemic when you really don't want to call an Uber. This meant more to me than I could ever express, and she's offered to do the same next week when I return. Fran's Automotive has earned my trust and gratitude, and this review stands as a testament to that to anyone reading this. If you live in Wolcott (or anywhere else, for that matter!), instead of getting towed by AAA to the distant garages recommended by them, take or tow your car to Fran's: you won't be disappointed!

Oil change cost half of what i was previously used to at a local "oil change" location. Very happy with that. They inspected the "noise" and discovered the need for some repairs, but they took the time to explain that it was NOT an emergency, as most repairs facilities would do. In short, I highly recommend K & J for your maintenance and repairs. Honest, professional and pleasant experience, always.

I still needed to swap my rear tires, and I had to be somewhere in a couple hours. After explaining this he had his guys end their lunch early to help me out. As soon as I got there they stopped what they were doing, threw my car up on the lift, swapped my tires in less than 5 minutes and then I showed them what happened to the jack point so they could inspect it for damage to the frame of the car. After all that he charged me $20 and when I tried to give him more, he wouldn't let me. Again, it was a simple tire swap so I can't speak to anything more than that, but their service and willingness to help and be flexible would make me recommend this small local shop.
