    Friendly, fast, efficient! Very easy to do business with, plus as affordable as car repairs can be…read more Highly recommend. High quality auto repair.

    I highly recommend Frank's shop for the reasons below…read more We came to Fallon to visit our son for a few days. When we arrived, our water pump was making noise and leaking coolant - not good in the desert in August! Before calling repair shops, I looked online to see what's involved in replacing a water pump on a 2012 Toyota Highlander. I've changed a few water pumps in my 50 years of driving, so I figured it's not a big deal. I was surprised at what it takes to do this job! Everything is so crammed into the engine compartment that it's a rather complex job. A Google search showed estimates of up to $900 for a mechanic to do the work. Yikes! Things aren't as simple and cheap as they used to be! I called around town to shops recommended by friends in town. Everyone was booked two weeks out, including Frank's. Cathy, who answered the phone, sounded sincerely sorry they didn't have an earlier appointment since we're here from out of town. I asked if I could bring it in anyway and leave it with them and we'd have our son pick it up when it's done. She said sure, and if they have a chance to work on it sooner, they would, but she couldn't promise it would be done before we planned to leave town. I figured we'd borrow our son's second car and return it on our next visit. Not ideal, since we live several hours away, but doable. I took the car in and Cathy wasn't there. I figured she's out to lunch, but then I learned that it was her birthday and Frank had given her the rest of the day off to be with her family. So Frank was covering the front desk. When I told him the situation, he also didn't make any promises, but I could tell he really wanted to help us out. We chatted for a little while, and he talked about when he ran the junior racing program at the local drag strip. From the photos and awards on the wall, I could tell this business has a long history in this town. Long story short, the work was completed the day before we planned to leave town, and the bill was considerably lower than I expected - a double win! Frank and his crew took wonderful care of us and our car. They're professional and are the kind of people I'd want to be friends with. Pros: Quality, Fair pricing, Professional, Friendly Cons: Too far from our home to be our regular mechanic

    In response to Yelp's removal of my earlier review, see below, and the many one star reviews left…read moreby others, I elaborate with the following. On Monday, July 19 at 2:00pm I attended Fixxed's location, 1085 Taylor Pl, Fallon, NV 89406, to arrange to have one or more struts replaced on my 1997 Toyota Avalon. One strut is broken and the others are worn. I spoke with the office clerk, Shelbe, who advised that the mechanic, Troy, would be arriving shortly. When Troy did arrive he advised that he was very busy but that he could replace at least one strut on the following Friday morning. I then observed Troy sit down on the office couch with his schedule and made an appointment for Friday, July 23 at 7:00am On Friday, July 23 at 7:00am I returned to Fixxed. While it appeared at first to be closed, soon Troy appeared. He seemed puzzled to see me. I told him that I had an appointment for 7:00am to have at least one strut replaced. He hemmed and hawed for a bit and then advised that he had other things to do at that time. He claimed that he was busy and that I had no idea about his schedule. I repeated that I had, in fact, seen his schedule and had seen him make the 7:00am appointment in his schedule the previous Monday. He seemed agitated by this and continued to mumble about his busy schedule. After some further delay, I told him to "take a hike" and got back into my car intending to leave. Thus enraged Troy quickly advanced to my car and opened the passenger side door. He began to shout at me in an aggressive manner. I am 69 years of age, Troy is many years my junior and more physically able than I. I told him that I would call the Sheriff if he did not close my car door. He belligerently argued in a loud voice, "Oh yeah, what are you going to tell the Sheriff?" He then seemed to become somewhat more self-aware and closed the car door. To preserve my safety, I immediately left the premises. In the State of Nevada NRS 200.471 defines assault as deliberately attempting to use force against a person, or placing the person in reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm. Simple assault is generally a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1000.00. Being younger than I, more able than I, and having acted in the aggressive manner outlined above, Troy had committed assault, perhaps both criminal and civil. In the State of Nevada NRS 200.481 defines battery as deliberately touching another person in an unlawful way. In short, assault turns into battery when physical contact is made. Nevada case law supports that Troy's making physical contact with the vehicle in which I was sitting constitutes the unlawful physical contact outlined above. Troy had committed both assault and battery, again perhaps both criminal and civil. As a result it does appear that Troy's aggression toward customers is a sign of his ignorance with respect to running a business, he does seem to be in need of anger management counselling, and it does seem prudent to be prepared to call the Sheriff in response to the risk of assault and battery while attending Fixxed. I hope that others will be the beneficiaries of this review. Yelp Note Follows Hello, We're reaching out to let you know that our moderators removed your review of Fixxed.

    After "repairs" had to find a reliable automotive shop to actually fix my vehicle. So be prepared…read moreto pay someone else to actually FIX your car. Also be aware that their "Guarantee" means that they have to fix, the fix if it doesn't work. After trying multiple times and additional cost each time you really might not trust them to do that. The 2nd shop diagnostic showed the original issue and they actually fixed it. Brought to "Fixxed" attention and no cooperation other than bring it back to them for oil change or labor credit for future work. Not an option, wouldn't trust them near my vehicles. They also worked on one of my other cars during the same time period and those repairs failed within 10 days. Simple repair of bulbs and socket. So overall spent near $900 and received 2 oil changes. Looked like they didn't use a funnel when pouring the oil on the one vehicle.
