I was looking for a shop to install shocks and springs w/ wheel alignment and was getting quoted over $1k, sometimes even close to $2k, from shops around the area like LA Tire, Pro Tire, American Tire, etc. Then I found Frank's Auto Center and met Everth. Super honest guy, really skilled at what he does, and charged me a fraction of what everyone else was asking. Not only did he do a great job, he got everything done same day. I dropped my car off at 11am and it was ready by 3pm. That's what you call a skilled mechanic! Props to him The environment feels like a real traditional mechanic shop in the best way possible. I got to talk with Frank, the owner, and hear about the history of the shop. Super cool guy. Also met Herman who was knee deep in someone's engine working away. You can tell these guys genuinely care about what they do. Love these guys already and they're officially my new go to shop for all my auto needs. read more

Frank’s Auto Center - Full reseal on my motor - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

While visiting LA, my check engine light came on and my car was rumbling when idling. Frank's was the closest to where I was staying and had good reviews so I popped in. Frank and his crew greeted me kindly, I told them what was up, and they did a diagnostic. Frank hinted that he wasn't sure which of the 2 issues it was and after a drive around the block and resetting my check engine light, he sent me on my way free of charge. 2 blocks away, it all started again! I admit I got frustrated. I tried 3 other mechanics but couldn't be seen in a timely manner, so I crawled back to Frank's. Frank greeted me without surprise, figured out the issue in a couple minutes, was able to order my part an hour later, and got me out quickly and without a crazy price. Overall, I'm happy with my experience and the fact that my car is healthy again, but I knocked off a star for being sent off with my problem still intact. Be persistent if you really think something is wrong with your car! read more

if you want to come back couple times to same shop for the same issue ..go there ..you will take your car back to them lot of times..and they keep charging you each time...!!!!! read more

Do Not Go Here! They have no clue what they're talking about. Terrible attitude and they talk s**t in Spanish like we all don't know Spanish. They'll try to scam you. read more

What a Gentleman, along with his VERY COMPETENT assistants! I appreciate Frank's Honesty and knowledge! Whenever my car is promised to me, it is ALWAYS ready at that time or sometimes earlier. In addition, Frank only buys GOOD replacement parts from reputable parts suppliers! I once replaced an axle on one of my rear-wheel drive vehicles twice at a different shop. After I took it to Frank, he said that the axle was "junk", and then replaced it from his parts supplier. After that I NEVER had any further issues with my axle!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Frank's Auto! Be advised, Frank ONLY does high quality work and will NOT be rushed! Pack up a little patience and you WON'T be disappointed!! read more

Frank’s Auto Center - Evereth (Left) and owner Frank (Right). - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here to get my car checked out twice and they are always honest with me with what's wrong or what's not wrong. Last time I came in to get a checked they said it was a simple fix and charge me very fairly and the guy who seem to be the owner was very nice polite and quick. I hope this business continues to do well and is one that truly deserves a five star rating. read more

They did a diagnostic test and charged me $80 and told me everything was smooth. The next day, had the same problem. And when I called to see an update, they said it's been done for hours - so why didn't you call me?! read more

I took my car here after an accident to figure out what needed to be done after deciding to cover the damages myself. He called me that Monday and said he would be able to finish it by Saturday, Tuesday the latest. Great! So I hear nothing on Saturday and call Tuesday and he says to wait until Friday. Friday comes, oh wait we need more parts now so Tuesday. Tuesday comes, give me until Thursday. So I call him and I'm like look I need my car so finished or not I'm gonna show up. Wednesday he calls me saying it's done so I show up and the car was not done. He was still working on it AND still waiting for parts so I left without a car. Absolutely terrible experience. The people were very sweet and understanding but they just weren't considerate of me at all. If you think it will take 3 weeks just tell me at the start. Also, he wouldn't give me a detailed list of what was bought or done to the car or even an estimate at the beginning so I could try pricing out other places. Very sketchy business. Don't go there. read more

As we all know, it is very difficult to find an auto shop that puts the customer first. Frank's auto center is transparent about the work being done to your vehicle and is very fair with their pricing. I came in to get some work done on my rear suspension after hitting a curb. When I came in to this shop to get my vehicle inspected, I received a breakdown of all the work that needs to be done on my vehicle and how it works. As someone who is not really well-versed when it comes to auto repair, the explanation that I was given helped me fully understand exactly what had to be done. This shop provides impeccable customer service and quality workmanship. I will definitely be coming back for all my auto repair needs! read more

I come here and get my service done. As a woman it's very reassuring that they explain everything to me that needs to be done on my car. Frank and Everth are very respectful and make me feel comfortable when I come in. I came once for an oil change and they noticed one of my tires had a bubble on it. They told me it's not safe to drive like that; as they don't fix tires here they told me where to go so I can get that fixed. read more

You can take your car if something is wrong with it , they will assure you that it has been fixed and make you pay but then you will have to come back again because it wasn't. In total I had to come back about 4x and payed more than 500 and my car isn't yet fixed. Don't come here. Scam. read more

I had a great experience with Everth, he has an excellent customer service, he's honest, efficient, fast and he knows what he's doing! Definitely I recommend this place and specially Everth. read more

I am so grateful for this place, during a very wild time with everything being closed and people in a state of worry...they stayed open and got my car started fixed after hours of labor. They communicate well and seem to be very great people, my tow truck driver also spoke super highly of this place and their team! read more

I usually have trust issues with getting my car serviced. I live in the valley and there are many shops around me that I do not trust. I was referred by my co-worker/friend to get my rear brakes replaced over here and it was the best decision made. Mr. Cañas, the owner of the shop, is a very nice gentleman who runs his shop professionally and gives good quotes. I got my brakes done for a good price and it was very quick. I definitely recommend getting your car serviced here and I definitely will come back for any servicing. read more

So I had to get my car towed here from another shop after what seemed like a simple job that turned into a nightmare, all my cars fault. Franks is located in a auto center next to a body shop, tire place and I believe smog check. He does alignments as well. I'm fairly local and always pass it just never thought to pass by until someone recommended him. He has a lift and all the proper tools, as the labor job I required was fairly intensive but the turnaround time was about exactly 24 hours. The price was fair for the amount of work required, would've paid more in "nicer areas"basically the west side and the like. I will come again for quality auto repair and would recommend. read more

This facility is exemplary, the mechanics their are polite and most of all professional. The workmanship is excellent and completed within a timely manner. Frank who is the owner is a prime example of how an auto mechanic shop should operate, Everett who is second in command is a fantastic mechanic. If Frank's Auto Center cannot repair your vehicle then it belongs in the salvage yard. I recommend this shop to everyone!!!! read more

My car was shaking badly and my check engine light came on. I had to make a quick decision to stop and find a mechanic near me. Unfortunately, it was Saturday after 5pm and I couldn't find a mechanic nearby open at the time. I saw that the shop was open on Sunday and decided to drop my car off here. I called before hand to see they were able to work on it and they told me to check back in 15 minutes. They were able to find the issue and fix my car in record time. The service was efficient and they were professional. Most importantly they were honest and took the time to explain what was going on with my car. I appreciate their work and I would recommend their service. read more

Everth was very helpful and took the time to listen to our complicated situation with our car. We had three different codes come up, and it became very confusing to determine what needed to be fixed with new parts and what parts just needed a clean. Everth helped determine what we should and shouldn't do and was very honest; he gave us a great deal as well and reassured us of our worries. We also learned a lot from him too and that was very appreciated because we were in the loop of what was happening to our car. It was great to hear we didn't need a new catalytic converter and that our transmission was not ruined. I'll definitely be going to Everth for any future issues/maintenances that come up. read more

So glad I found this place! I just happened upon it because I live in the neighborhood and was having some issues with my car stalling. Everyone there was very friendly and gave me detailed information on what was going on with my car. You could tell that they really cared about getting me the most affordable price and the repairs were done in record time! They even installed my license plate for me free of charge. Definitely going to come back here next time I have car trouble! read more

Shoutout to Frank and his team for taking great care of me and my car. Broke down late night after the dodgers game and found myself stranded in LA. Luckily Frank's was close by and I was able to drop the car off the next morning. He was forthcoming with me, directly showed me what was going on under the car, and was flexible in allowing me to pickup the car 4 days later since i don't live in the area. Great service and made a really stressful situation a lot easier to deal with. read more

Came here last minute to get a diagnostic done on my car because my car has had the check engine light and was slightly overheating. They took me in no problem even if they had a few customers already and the diagnostic took an hour. The mechanic Evereth told me what was going on with my car and was very honest about what I needed and informed me i should absolutely not be driving my car. Will be bringing my car here for the replacement! read more

Frank replaced an engine and all hoses for us. Once our son picked it up after we paid over the phone. The engine light was on and the speedometer doesn't work. Frank wouldn't even look at the engine when our son took the car back the next day. When we looked at the engine, none of the hoses were even connected correct. I have tried multiple times to contact Frank and he will not return my phone calls or text messages. read more

I have an old Chevy van, my water pump and thermostat housing went out. Not only did Frank's shop repair the thing in 2 hours, they charged me less than HALF of what mechanics on the west side were charging. Finally found a mechanic I could trust. Thank you Frank!! read more
