Our story

A Real Mechanic Shop, the Way They Used to Be

Frank’s Auto Center is a traditional mechanic shop on North Western Avenue in Los Angeles, run by Frank himself. Walk in and you’ll find mechanics elbow-deep in engines, not a service counter reading from a script. Customers tell us the shop feels like a real, old-school garage in the best way possible.

We work fast and we work straight. Drivers come to us after being quoted double elsewhere, and leave the same day with the job done right. We diagnose the root cause quickly, give you a clear breakdown of the cost before we start, and we’ll show you the parts we replaced, so you never have to wonder whether the work was actually done.

We’re open six days a week, including Sundays, because cars don’t break on a schedule. Call us and talk to a mechanic, not a machine.

  • Owner-run: Frank is in the shop
  • We show you every part we replace
  • Clear quotes, no surprise charges
  • Open Sundays, 8 AM – 6 PM

What customers say

“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. That’s what you call a skilled mechanic!”

Derrick De Mayo

“They diagnosed the issue quickly, provided a clear breakdown of the costs, and completed the repairs in a timely manner. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprise charges. My car runs smoothly now, and I’ll definitely be returning for future maintenance.”

Escape with Lisa

“They are very quick to find the root cause of the issue and get your vehicle fixed properly. They will also show you any parts that you had repaired, so you never have to worry about the right parts being replaced!”
