Francis Automotive has taken care of my vehicle as well as my son's and his girlfriend's. Both my son and girlfriend have mentioned that they felt as if they were the only clients and were treated exceptionally well. I have been very happy with the clear and timely communication as well as the service. Highly recommend that Francis Automotive is a part of your team to take care of your vehicle.

As usual, I had another excellent experience using Francis Automotive in West Chester. It was time for an oil change and tire rotation. I had been going to the dealer while I was under warranty. I m glad to be back with Francis Automotive. I ve been going to them for many many years and I m never disappointed.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Had a flat tire on Sunday; AAA put emergency spare on. Called FA on Monday & got appointment (w/loaner car for Tuesday). FA called back Monday & got tire serviced (w/loaner car) the same day. Very pleased to have tire repaired & get back on the road. Have used FA for years, and above experience is the reason why.

I have been using John for many years. He s the nicest person and his work is excellent. I trust his opinion and I know I am not being given wrong information. When he examines my car I would recommend him to anyone.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake replacementServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake replacement

John and his team are the only people I trust with my car. Scheduled tune-ups or emergencies, they're always ready to get to work, and they're transparent and quick to communicate what's going on. I recommend them to everyone!

Great people. Excellent engagement. I almost never give 5 stars. The ONLY thing they could have done better is a little explanation. BTW - I am hard to please, AND theae giys are my guys.

I'd been happy with Francis Auto for the past year until my last two visits.For the inspection, they didn't even mention my bald back tires. I had to bring it up and they said I could change them if I wanted. Two days later, my back right tire blew out like a balloon while I was driving with my two children! Thank God we weren't on the highway.On my last visit, my check engine light came on. My neighbor hooked the car up to a code reader (prior to me taking it to Francis) and found the code/problem within 5 minutes. I had Francis Auto diagnose my car and they were going to charge me $200 just for the diagnosis and another $400 to fix it!! I called up two other automotives (Ike's and Mike Ivey's) and neither one charged for the diagnosis. And they were over $100 cheaper than Francis to fix it.Long story short, I would NOT recommend Francis Auto. They are not honest, affordable or good.

John is the best. He reminded me that our Prius was due for state inspection. I often forget. Thanks John.

My 2003 Toyota truck was in for inspection. No major issues and passed inspection without any repairs needed. In addition to the inspection John did look over the truck to see if there were anything else I should be aware of. I appreciate his efforts to keep me abreast of future service that may be needed. John is always on top of keeping his customers cars and trucks in good working order.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Vehicle Inspection

I ve been a customer here for 20 years and absolutely love it! The team at Francis Auto is always prompt, efficient, reasonably priced, and my favorite - COMMUNICATES! They give me a run down of things that need work immediately, things that might come up soon, and things that can wait. They look out for your best interests and the longevity of your vehicle, not their own wallets.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Was recommended to call John after purchasing a used car from out of state. John was extremely consultative in both listening to my interests as well as using his experience in doing a thorough inspection of the car. Have a few follow up items that I will work with John on over the year and most importantly he made me comfortable that Francis was the shop for my family and I moving forward.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

My experience was when my truck broke down on a delivery to their shop. They figured out the issue on spot and had my truck running and ready by the next day. Great service! I highly recommend their service if your in the area near by.Services: Auto battery replacement, BatteryServices: Auto battery replacement, Battery

John and his team at Francis are geniuses when it comes to anything car related. They have been able to diagnose and fix every issue I ve ever had with my vehicles quickly and at a reasonable price. I had an ongoing issue with my truck last summer that I took to the dealership multiple times. They were never able to figure it out and wasted my time and money for months. It took John about five minutes to find the problem and it was fixed permanently that same day. I will never go anywhere else for a car issue. They even have an after hours pickup/dropoff box, as well as an online payment system, which is extremely convenient since I work odd hours. I couldn t possibly recommend Francis Automotive more highly.
