(to the tune of "Daisies" by Katy Perry)Worried my car's broke and will cost a fortune....But the hour is late, and most places they close soon....Up in Fishtown,Need a place that's open Who can just help me?Walked up to Frankford AutoAnd things weren't looking goodThey took a single momentto get under the hoodI thought that I was crazyBut they didn't overcharge meAnd the guys were so damn friendlyFRIENDLY?! FRIENDLY!Admittedly, I only went here for a minor fix - an issue with the battery. BUT living just down the street, I was really impressed that the guy just walked down with me to check it out - didn't like... charge extra for a "strolling fee" basically was like "yeah, we can fix this for you tonight!" and by 7:30pm it was FIXED! on a FRIDAY NIGHT! the real value is having times after traditional "work" hours so that you don't have to take time off just to drop your car off/be stranded.Super friendly, felt really comfortable and confident in their work. 10/10!

As someone who's watched his father tinker around building car transmissions for 20 years before going into business (and kudos to him for making it very successful) rebuilding and selling transmission parts, these guys, although not in the same exact field (they're not transmission guys, per se) are 100% down-to-earth and do not beat around the bush. We've lived in this neighborhood for 5 years and probably have worked with them a dozen or more times. Inspections, oil changes, brakes, etc. all fair prices. Very fair. Last week we got top-of-the-line new tires as we're having our second child very soon. I mention to my wife, "while I'm out, I might as well swing by Frankfort truck and auto, tell them that the "tire place," tried to sell us on front and rear brakes and rotors and see if he'll give it a peek.This was a Friday afternoon in August. Muggy and as hot as can be -- I ask him politely, "hey, we trust you guys, we're having a kid soon, do we need branded front and back?"I wait ten minutes while he handles other customers (mind you, all along, he's updating me and apologizing for the wait, etc. PURE gentleman these guys are). He looks at my car, takes 5 minutes and says, "you could go 6-8 months on the front brakes, but your rear brakes and motors are fine."For the fact that we're having a newborn VERY soon, I'm bringing back our car this Friday to get the front brakes done. THIS WAS MY IDEA. He never sold me. Just facts. Probably most honest mechanics ever. No wonder they are usually slammed. Former Philadelphia Firefighter and former U.S. armed forces -- as a grandchild and nephew of many sworn in many capacities, I feel at home. We'll use them and only them unless we leave the area. Thank you for all that you do guys!!!!
