Ive taken both my maxima and my Z to Hills garage and always left happy. Frank knows his stuff. The best part is that I live less than a mile from his shop. I'll be dropping my Z off for an oil change either tomorrow or saturday.

Many of us can attest to Frank's talent, quality of work and attention to detail but most of all there are no surprises, you get what you paid for and there is something to be said when you can walk out of his shop feeling 100% satisfied - there is no better feeling!

It must be nice not to get a phone call every other day telling your bill is going up a couple of hundred because they found some other bullsh---t and by the time it is done its a couple of thousand.

Easy now.....Let's stay on Topic, the purpose of this thread is for Frank, what expertise he has to offer and how others can benefit. TRUST ME.....I know where everyone is coming from, save that for another thread and let's keep this one on a positive note

.....we feel your pain bro - sorry

I have had Frank do several jobs for me over the past few years, and I can tell you that his work is top notch, and I have enjoyed working with him. I even continue to this day (my z is at his shop right now) work with him, and I drive from Philly to his shop.

I will throw my hat into the fray for Frank.
Like everyone has said he is a good honest guy that has years of experience and will treat you like he would want to be treated.
Congratulations to him on taking the very hard step of starting his own business and I am sure he will flourish up there.
It's good to know we have a couple of High Quality options for servicing/building our cars.

Frank is ordering tires for me and is going to install them next week. He has a shop that he takes cars to get aligned. He is going to make the arrangements and drive it there for me. He even told me to let him know when i dropped the car off if it was after hours so he could come and lock it up in the shop.

I will post when the job is done to let everyone know

Quoted $900 even for everything. not too bad imo

Default Sweet sound of silence

I did not realize how bad my tire roar was until I had my tires replaced. Jesus.

Took my car to Frank to get the tires, and alignment done. I am thoroughly impressed. Frank was a super nice guy. Ordered my tires took it to another shop to get the alignment done, and got it done in a day. I had to work late last night so he gave me his cell number so I could call him when i got out. He opened the shop back up (630) so i could pay and get my car. I couldnt believe it. I wont take my nissan anywhere else from here on out.

Just wanted to update my excellent experience.
