I have just moved to kamloops from calgary and was in need of a new mechanic. I tried several but…read moreonce I arrived at these gentleman's shop I was delighted. I needed new brakes and rotors for a 2006 honda civic, the work was done quickly and professionally. They have very competitive prices, and an incredibly curteous staff but what impressed me the most was their honesty. I will be sticking with this shop. Ryan Kamloops

You don't have to go the dealer…read more.. Franco's Auto Service has been in Kamloops for, well, as long as i can remember and arguably the most respected independent auto service business in Kamloops. Franco's unofficially specializes in the higher end European and Japanese vehicles but don't worry he will work on your POS as well :P Franco is one of those old school European trades people, he takes his craft and reputation VERY seriously. An ex-Ferrari race mechanic (yea, no kidding!); although, he has long since stopped turning wrenches himself and has focused on running his business. I understand that Franco expects the same pride in their craft of his technicians as he has, thus they are among the best in Kamloops. Francos' boasts very clean, bright and organized facility... I don't think eating off the floor would be recommended, but you probably could, safely. A full service shop, from oil changes in your Ford Focus to replacing the transmission in your 5 series BMW, at rates that are better than the dealer. Aside to the service, Franco does deal in used vehicles to a minor degree (usually 1/2 dozen vehicles at a time), offering mostly VW and Honda. These cars are generally in very good shape, thus not cheap used, but quality used.

BMW was closed and these guys helped us with a low engine coolant and a pressure check to ensure that we would make it back to Vancouver. Amazing service for a last minute call. We spoke to some locals after dropping the vehicle off and they all spoke so highly of them. On our return they showed us that we also needed to check the turbo engine coolant. Taking time to educate us on busy Saturday. Thank you guys.

Scam. They sold me…read more& my ex a lemon. We were interested in one car but they pushed this other car on us. A few weeks later we dumped $2700 into fixing all the issues with this car. AB refused to acknowledge or accept any responsibility for the piece of crap car they sold us. They accused us of being to hard on the car. The only way we would've caused that much damage that quickly was if we were riding on a dirt bike track with it. Struts were shot, suspension was shot, traction control was shot, ABS was shot & brakes were almost metal on metal. They also made promises they never kept. When we called them on their promises they denied ever making them. I will never deal with or recommend this company to anyone.

Not many used car dealers would do that. The last one I bought, they threw in a set of winter tires that came with the car that they could have just held on to and sold. Friendly, professional and great guys to deal with.
