Kind Words From Our Customers

The mechanic here is amazing! I got a used car check up before purchasing and he checked it out and told me the issues and their severity and advised me to keep looking for a better car and deal. I appreciated the honesty, efficiency, and price. I was there less than half an hour and given straight up advice and saved thousands of dollars. 10/10 experience.

Another shop had misdiagnosed my vehicle and to me I need over $2000 worth of work done. Franks said I needed two sensors which he replaced. They really worked hard to get me in and out and my car is fixed and good as new. I would absolutely recommend Franks for good work at fair prices.

Update, I went back to Frank’s a few months after my first visit to have him install a hitch on my vehicle. He immediately remembered who I was, and had no problem helping me. He ordered and installed the hitch for a very good price. As I mentioned in my first review below, it’s easy for me to recommend them if you are looking for a service oriented mechanic who will treat you right. Recently relocated and needed my 2017 Subaru Forester inspected. Arrived with no appointment this morning. O

For friendly, efficient service and transparent pricing, take your car to Frank’s Automotive! We have taken two Hyundais recently to Frank’s (one for spark plugs, another for brakes and rotors) and they got the jobs done quickly and for reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Kelsey Poholsky

Easy to schedule an appointment with Frank’s. Very accommodating. Professional and adept staff. I had my car inspected, oil change, new tires, and alignment. Work completed in record time. I would highly recommend this center. Charlie is the best!

Automotive Repairs and Preventative Maintenance  

Staying ahead of problems before they become costly is one of the smartest things you can do as a vehicle owner, and preventative maintenance is where Frank’s Automotive Center truly shines. Our technicians perform thorough vehicle inspections that cover your cooling system, transmission fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs, air filtration systems, and battery health, giving you a complete picture of your vehicle’s condition. Brake repair is among our most requested services. Our team is experienced in replacing brake pads, rotors, calipers, and lines, as well as performing ABS diagnostics and brake fluid flushes to keep your stopping power reliable. When summer heat pushes your car’s A/C system to its limits, we handle car A/C repair with precision, diagnosing issues with the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and refrigerant levels to restore cool, comfortable air to your cabin. Suspension repair is another area of deep expertise here, covering shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, and tie rods. We pair that work with professional wheel alignment to ensure your tires wear evenly and your vehicle tracks straight. For drivers who rely on multiple vehicles for business purposes, our fleet repair services provide dedicated account management, preventative maintenance scheduling, and DOT compliance support to minimize downtime and keep your operation running smoothly. No matter what your vehicle requires, our goal is to deliver workmanship backed by quality OEM or equivalent parts and warranties that give you real peace of mind.

Additional Services and Convenience Features  

Frank’s Automotive Center goes beyond the basics to make sure your experience is as convenient and thorough as possible. We carry a wide selection of tire sales inventory, including all-season, winter, and performance tire options from trusted brands, and our team handles everything from tire mounting and balancing to TPMS service and wheel alignment. Engine repair is handled with the same level of care, whether you’re dealing with an oil leak, a head gasket issue, a timing chain service, or a more involved engine block concern, and our diagnostic process ensures we identify the root cause before recommending any solution. Transmission repair is available for both automatic and manual systems, including transmission fluid flushes, solenoid replacement, torque converter diagnosis, and transfer case service, so your powertrain stays dependable. We also perform Pennsylvania state inspections to confirm your vehicle meets all required safety standards, covering brakes, lights, steering, tires, and safety equipment, and we can address minor repairs needed to help your vehicle pass. Automotive electrical repair is another specialty, with our technicians skilled at tracing complex wiring issues, diagnosing charging system faults, and restoring proper function to your vehicle’s electrical systems. We understand that your time matters, which is why we offer shuttle services, loaner vehicles, and online appointment scheduling to work around your schedule.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for modern vehicles. However, intervals vary by make, model, and driving conditions. A comprehensive inspection at least once a year helps catch issues with your brakes, tires, battery, and fluid levels before they develop into more significant and expensive repairs.
Our technicians connect a professional OBD-II scanner to your vehicle to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes from your engine control module. From there, we evaluate the relevant sensors and systems, such as the mass airflow sensor, catalytic converter, or fuel system components, to pinpoint the exact cause and explain your repair options clearly.
Yes. Our team is trained and equipped to service all makes and models, including domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. Whether you drive a Ford, Toyota, BMW, or anything in between, we use appropriate diagnostic tools and quality parts to deliver reliable repairs across all vehicle types.
Common warning signs include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration through the steering wheel, or a longer stopping distance than usual. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s worth having your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid inspected as soon as possible to maintain safe driving conditions.
Absolutely. We perform state inspections covering all required safety components, including brakes, lights, steering, suspension, tires, and mirrors. If your vehicle needs minor repairs to meet inspection standards, our team can address those on the spot and get you back on the road with a valid inspection sticker. Costs vary based on the repairs needed.
