I've had my cars repaired here for years. They have always been prompt and honest. I moved to Festus & still go to Franken.

I have been taking my vehicle here for several years now & have been very satisfied. The only reason for 4 stars is because sometimes it takes a little longer than I was expecting. They are always so busy, and for their quality of work & knowledge I am not surprised. I have definitely been fooled by dealerships & other auto repair shops, with up sales & unnecessary things. Dan always tells me if I can wait on something or if it needs to be done right away. No pressure like the dealership. I also have to say they are no more ... read more

I couldn't believe it, an honest mechanic. #1 I own a 2001 Chrysler T&C 137,000 miles. My first experiance with Dan was going in for my state inspection last year. I was surprised when he told me my brakes were fine. Are you "nutz"? Everybody knows somebody that, when they go in for a state inspection the mechanic will always find something wrong. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago my car wouldn't start (this had been going on for sometime) I charged the battery it would turn over and over but no ignition. I knew right away, for ... read more

NEVER take your vehicle for the state safety inspection. I have lived in Missouri for 8 years and have had 5 safety inspections done on my vehicles. 2 times (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me) I have taken my vehicle to Dan Franken Auto Repair and they have failed both of my inspection because of tie rods being loose. Then they charge nearly double the price to fix them than other locale businesses. If I could rate this business 0 stars I would. May no one ever be screwed by this business again.

Besides being extremely overpriced, they never had my vehicle ready when they said they would. Then after "fixing" my vehicle, the "fix" damaged another part and they refused to replace the damaged part and fix it correctly.

Took my car here for a knocking sound while I was driving. When they diagnosed it they said that a tie rod was broken and needed repair. When they told me how much it cost I told them I wanted to see what another repair shop would charge. The owner became angry and told me he wasn't a crook. I told him I had a limited budget and just wanted to see If I could get the work done at a better price. He told me I had to get the repair done at his shop because it was illegal to drive my car. I did it at his shop because of that. I ... read more
