Honest and dependable service! Frank's is my new go-to car repair place in the Austin area

The AC on my 2011 Toyota Tacoma went out for the first time in 12 years. Air was blowing, but it was only warm air, no cold air. I initially went to a Toyota dealership in town (AutoNation), and they quoted me $2,400. I tried to push through until the weather cooled down but couldn't stand the heat anymore, so I finally had to do something about it. I put a quote request out there on Yelp and immediately got a response from Frank's Complete Mobile Auto Care. I texted Frank to get a quote and to schedule someone to come by my house to diagnose the problem. He sent Josue a couple of days later and along with diagnosing the AC problem within 10 mins, he heard some knocking in the engine and asked when I last had an oil change. I don't use the vehicle often since I work remotely most days, so I don't remember that last time. He checked the oil and there was nothing in there. I asked if he could add that to my quote. I was seriously shocked when I learned the cost to repair the AC plus and an oil change ($500). That included parts and labor! That was a quarter of what Auto Nation was going to charge me. Josue wrapped it up in a couple of hours while I was inside working. Quick, quality work, honest mechanics. These are hard qualities to find in a mechanic, especially if you don't know where to look. I've been referring everyone (friends and co-workers) I know to Frank's Complete Mobile Auto Care. read more

Frank is quiet spoken , punctual, super knowledgable, persistant and a genius. Really!!!.We have a weird battery configuration on an old RV and he figured it out.. sent me a video to remember when everyone elso who looked did not want to try it since we blew a battery out..I would use Frank any day. Thanks Anna read more

I gotta say Frank followed through with helping me every time I needed. I hesitated at first because the started had to be replaced twice; but that's just the nature of the game when you have a 2015 Chevy cruze, parts are refurbished and I had bad luck twice. But he showed up when I needed to get moving and third time was a charm as I've been running smooth since . read more

Much cheaper than I was expecting and mechanic drove an hour to help me. I'm not much of a mechanic, so I don't know how much in-depth knowledge Josue has, but he got my 1966 Datsun back up and running ... quickly, so call me impressed. read more

Frank is awesome. He his very responsive and gives accurate estimates. He replaced my car's CV axle.

Frank responded quickly to my needs and sent Josue out to my house to assess my car. The necessary parts were obtained and everything was fixed right at my doorstep. Being new to Austin and not having a reliable mechanic yet, I am so thankful to have found Frank! read more

I had given Frank my business once before, on a lilght on dash (turned out I just needed a tighter new gas cap and he charged me $95 to tell me, which I thought was well, greedy but I DID call him!) and I am honorable so I PAID. (Bought my own new gas cap for $13 bucks too, not that he provided it for $95...sheesh.) This time, it was to be rear pad replacement, and the model I have had a Service Bulletin ABOUT the brake kit required to make sure the brakes DON"T make a moo-ing hum (when new pads of the WRONG kind are put on) so I was asking him to confirm (in a text, you know, ,write it, say Yes, I gotcha, it has to be ABC type...yadayada) but I SUPPOSE it was taken like "telling him how to do his job" and he texted me I better buy my own pads and pay for labor...and that he was not coming, his guy was...who was late, and then a plain no-show and I took time off work to stay and wait for him. Seems to me he blew it off when there wasn't much $ in it for him...What woman needs this kind of crapola from a man, or a mechanic when she is being polite and trying to get the right part for her car? Not me! There are PLENTY of other mobile mechanics to choose from, so DON'T CHOOSE this one! Ask for a name at your local auto parts store! The problem with this biz is that it was just Frank and now he has gotten full of himself with "2 more guys" working for him. Plus, sheesh, the sheer number of people moving to Austin and all with a car, well, even a broke clock is right twice a day, meaning that this is another Austin business that will still get customers if people who get a bad experience trying to deal with them don't read Yelp reviews and GIVE their business dollars to a better busines model. Don't settle for crapola service and bad communication---there are as many new BUSINESSES as there are new residents, so THAT is a good thing. Expect respect, ladies! read more

Frank replaced my car's radiator at a great price. Would absolutely recommend his services to anyone.

Amazing work. Amazing people. Quality price. Fast service. Cannot red comment these guys enough.

I made an appointment with this gentleman for 4pm yesterday. I didn't get a call that his mechanic was running late till around 5:30. On top of that he asked if I could come to another location to get my car worked on which also was not what we talked about. I know your mechanic had a blowout but you need to be more professional with your communication. You had me waiting at my house for over 2 1/2 hours and then you ask me can I drive to a different location. I'm very disappointed with your service. read more

Contacted Frank for a quote for a starter replacement in the morning. Quote was affordable as I had the replacement part and he was able to slot me in same day as he had a guy out in Cedar Park/Leander doing jobs. Job was done fast and the tech was friendly and appreciative. Great service, punctual, friendly and great rate. Will contact again for any future issues. Also services BMWs which other mobile mechanics were not able to do. read more

Needed shocks put on my 2019 Tacoma. Frank came to the house and towed my truck to his shop (not safe space at my house to do this kind of work). His prices are more that reasonable, and he does EXCELLENT work. Very communicative and personable. Will only use Frank for future automotive needs! He's definitely lives up to his 5-star Yelp reviews. read more

I contacted Frank's to get a quote to replace the valve cover on my Malibu which the automotive shop I had taken to had quoted me 2000.00. Frank was super fast in getting back to me and was able to get someone out the same week I requested. Josue came to my house and was very professional and effecient in getting the repair completed. He showed up at 2 pm and was done by 3:15! I test drove the vehicle and all the issues I had prior to them coming out were gone and my car was back to running normal. Thank you Frank and Josue! read more

Frank was very responsive and helpful, even over the long weekend. When Josue came to do the repairs, he was pleasant, professional, and efficient. The service was done well, in a timely manner, and at much lower cost than the dealer quoted me. I highly recommend Frank and his team. read more

I needed a quick fix on my car (window stuck down, regulator broken) so you can imagine how stressful it is to not be able to roll it up. Messaged a ton of mechanics and even the dealer... .only to find Franks. They were cheaper than the others and had next day availability; win win. Josue came out, assessed the job and knocked it out within an hour. I didn't even have to leave my couch. Don't hesitate to give these guys a shot... they're the real deal. Thanks again Josue. read more

I had to put a lot of trust into this situation and I am happy to say that Frank followed through with trustworthiness, reliability, and completeness. Thank you so much, Frank. You're definitely one of the good guys in this day and age. read more

Frank's Auto performed a PPI, pre-purchase inspection. Mobile Mechanics - Not having to drive to a mechanic shop AND wait for potentially an hour for this exact same inspection at the EXACT same price as other shops, was So great. I value time even more than money. I'd rather pass extra money onto a mobile mechanic for saving me time. What I liked most is he was totally cool with me asking a lot of questions. He didn't seem resistant at all toward that. He even called a friend who has the same vehicle as me for more insight. They are very responsive through yelp messages as well. read more

i have Frank diagnose a problem in the past, i opted to do the repair myself. I was happy, It was all good business. This time, because the repair seemed complex, i requested it to be done for me. No problem on that front. When it came to finalizing the total cost, i was told the diagnostic fee will NOT be deducted to the repair. I felt misled, since the opposite was communicated to me at the start. For future customers, make sure to document your price negotations with Frank, that will help in the event that both parties are not on the same page. read more

Let me just say this has been the most positive experience I have ever had when it comes to automotive repair. These guys are quick to respond to a call or text, clear pricing there is no upselling or taking advantage. I needed a new starter for my 2015 Honda Civic and I was quoted 1,300$ at the Honda dealership, Franks came to my house, charged me less then half of the quote from the dealership. Trustworthy, reliable work and I am thrilled I have this connection for my car now! Thank you! read more

Valve Cover Gasket. Jaguar S-Type R. Easy Scheduling. Flexibility. Competitive pricing. read more

Updating this review as it turns out my AC was broken due to the evaporator core leaking, something that was not caught when Frank was doing the test. He agreed to fix it but after doing so, messed up all the sensors on my car and was unable to re set it and now I need to take it to the dealer shop. More over he kept saying he would show up to drop off my car but changed the time 3 times with no notice. My biggest issue and why I'm updating my review is I have been asking him for receipts of the three visits he made to get a reimbursement at Honda (2000$ worth) but he has refused to give them to me and stopped replying to my texts and now I can't get reimbursed. I would recommend going elsewhere as this place is not reliable. read more

I had a really great experience with Frank's Complete Mobile Auto Care, it was reasonably priced, convenient and he did an excellent job. I think I found a reliable go-to mechanic for all my auto needs. My brakes were going bad, I knew I needed to change the brake pads. It's a pretty straight forward job so after some research online I bought the correct brake pads I wanted (for super hard braking, of course) but now I needed someone to install them for me. After a Yelp search I came up with Frank's reviews - all of which looked great - so I called him up and he gave me a reasonable quote to install them on all 4 wheels ($150) and he'll even come to me! Kewl Beans. It was so easy and convenient! We scheduled for a late Saturday morning, Frank showed up with his partner and in no-time they had easily replaced all for of my brake pads. I also have another car that needed an oil change - for which I had already purchased the oil and oil filter - no problem! He only charged $20 for that job and it was done in about 15-20 min. Now that's what I call jiffy. He also installed the new car battery for me (for free) which I had been wanting to do but didn't have the right tools. I was so very pleased with his service and the convenience, plus he was very straight forward and there was no up-selling and the pricing was very reasonable. Not to mention I didn't have to drive to a store location and sit there for 1-2 hours - he finished all of the work in about 1 hour. I took my car for a spin and the new brakes are perfect, and my other car started up right away with the new battery and new oil change. I found other odd jobs for him (fuel filter, changing out the hood struts that hold the hood up - they are worn down) - which he said he would be happy to do for me when I'm ready for it. I was really pleased w/ Frank's quality of work, price, and convenience and I highly recommend him for your auto mechanic needs. It's also such huge bonus that he can come to you - it's such a time saver! read more

Amazing service! I was able to buy the parts I needed fixed online and they installed them. Josue was super quick! Highly recommend. Will use again. read more

My car was making a weird sound so I searched on Yelp for nearby mobile mechanics. Frank's popped up so I requested a quote. They were quick to respond and could, luckily!, schedule me in for the next day. Juan solved my main issue (who knew a single pebble could be such a troublemaker?) and was kind enough to check out another sound and do a minor adjustment. He was professional, friendly, and patient enough to answer my questions. If I have another issue, I'll happily reach out to Frank's! The pricing was fair and the service was great all around. read more

I have used Frank a couple of times and both times I have been completely happy with the service, responsiveness and value. My first issue was with my fuel injectors. He diagnosed the problem and had me back up and running quickly. My second issue was a problem with the fuel pump. It was an in-tank pump and it wasn't getting power. He ran a new wire to it from another source and everything started worked again. Quick and easy. I highly recommend Frank's. read more

There is a reason Frank has so many positive reviews. Our car overheated near downtown while my son was using it. Husband was out of town. Luckily found Frank on Yelp. A mobile repair service was exactly what I needed. Frank responded promptly and then diagnosed and fixed the car. We will definitely be using him again in the future. read more

Great service--Frank got back to me quickly, set an appointment and Josue showed up when promised and gave me great, knowledgeable service and advice for a very good price. Will definitely use them from now on. read more

Josue was great, showed up and had my issue fixed in less than 30 minutes all for dirt cheap compared to other mechanics, highly recommend.

Excellent service ! My 370Z would not start and Frank and his team was able to get it up and going. Thank you Frank !

Frank is a super honest, hard-working guy, came out to install a battery kill switch, but when I described what I was needing to do, even though he had the part in hand and been driving all morning to get there, he told me that that solution wasn't the best for my low battery drain needs. He told me I should get a trickle charger, told me where to get it. He could've sold me a couple of different things that morning, including what I originally asked for and made extra money, but instead he steered me right. Covered his gas and thanked him for his time. I really appreciate it and can definitely recommend Frank as an unusual, standup mobile mechanic of the highest integrity. read more

Excellent service from an honest mechanic. Frank was super knowledgeable and worked in the heat to replace my thermostat. It didn't take very long at all. I will definitely be referring Frank's services as well as calling him for all of my future mechanic needs. read more

Frank was thorough with my repair, quick, and gave me great advice on what I needed to do and what could wait. Will definitely be sending my cars to him for repair from now on. read more

Frank is an honest mechanic, no dealership easy money here, just does the work required. He found a stuck / broken brake caliper on my wife's back brakes prior to a long trip that was planned and repaired it with a new caliper, new back rotators with new brake pads so I could get on my way. The front side was fine. Very unusual situation. read more

Hired Franks to install a new parking brake. Excellent customer service. Reasonable prices and great communication!

Replaced my AC compressor, condenser and radiator for a great price. The mechanic was very informative and friendly.

Got a quote for an alternator on an old car that beat the shops, was fast and quick with the quote especially for a day before 4th of july! Sent out Josue which he came out and took out the old one and put in the new one in about an hour, awesome guy! Would do business again read more

Always available within the next day, if not same day. Quality service, 0% sketchiness. I'm a single mom and never felt scared, ripped off, or taken advantage of. They also do home calls and come and diagnose. 1000000% recommend to anyone read more

My 2015 Mini Cooper Countryman clutch was totally worn out and the car couldn't move at all. Just revved up when I gave it gas. The dealership quoted me a repair price that was basically half the value of the car at this point (it's got ~ 80k miles). Frank's was able to get the job done at a fraction of the price, and the car runs super smooth again. And it was so convenient too. They towed the car from my driveway and dropped it off in my driveway. Very easy process for me. Highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Frank's Complete Mobile Auto Care - This was my clutch. The friction pads are totally gone. - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

My car had several issues - one being a major oil leak, and car not starting due to some ignition issues. Frank and his team had it back up and running in about 3 days. Turnaround time was crazy fast in comparison to all other local shops. Also, his customer service goes above and beyond. He personally towed my car directly from my house and fixed the issues promptly and at a very reasonable price. Overall, very highly recommended, and I'm personally going to him for any and all future car troubles. read more
