Franconia Shell

This place is so honest and great. I have come here multiple times for oil changes to inspections to getting major issues repaired. They give a fair price and has never tried to pull a fast one on me as a single female. I highly recommend them!

I have been taking my cars to this service station for years. Two days ago my husband took his car to the dealership for a oil change and to find out what the noise was. They wanted $ 4800.00 to do the repairs. I called my mechanic here, and then brought the car to them. They found even more to be done on the car. and I am now paying about $ 3500.00 less than the Dealership wanted. I will take my cars only to this service station for all my car needs. They are polite, knowledgeable, and affordable. They do not talk down to women, they do not try to get you to fix something that is not broken. If your car is giving you trouble this is the place to get it fixed, where it will not cost you everything you have.

Don’t ever come here. This place caters too he shady used cars dealers ensuring they always are services first no matter who is waiting. Terrible service. Go anywhere else.

I called a couple of minutes before I arrived to see if they had what I needed, which they did. I got my inspection in record time on top of being given some free advice about certain things I ought to look into (things another service place said I needed to get done) and was treated with nothing but respect. I will definitely come back here.

This place WILL rip you off. They «honor» coupons but they find a way to charge you for other things in order to recoup the costs. Buyer beware: If you’ve got a coupon, don’t show it to them until AFTER you’ve seen the receipt. That’s the only way you’ll know whether or not they’re charging for something that’s SUPPOSED to be included.

Okay, it’s a dark and rainy night and I am from out of state. My tire pressure indicator shows my passenger rear tire is under-​inflated. I pulled into the Shell looking for the air hose. The station attendant/​owner offered to help me with filling the tires. The air is free and under high pressure. You will need your own gauge as this one is marked high pressure – use with gauge! Not like the wimpy pay for air pumps!
Looked like this is a SERVICE station because they are not making money on gas… several pumps were marked out of order.
Thank you for still offering free air!

I have been taking my car to this shop for over 10 years. It was recommended to me by the owner of the townhouse I bought… another single female who was tired of seeing car mechanic’s eyeballs turn into dollar signs when she walked in the door. They kept my 20 year old Corolla running and never recommended unneeded services.
I knew these guys were honest when I first took my car there. I brought it in because it was making a weird sound whenever I rounded tight curves. Now they could have told me I needed a new CV joint, axel, anything, and I would have believed them. But when I came to pick the car up, Sami told me that there was nothing wrong with the car and there was No Charge! Wow! Turns out this airfreshener I had hanging on one of the handles in the back of the car was rubbing against the handle and making the sound.
I have finally treated myself to a new Corolla, which I will continue to take there for another 20 years. They are always very courteous and friendly… and most importantly, HONEST.

My boyfriend took his car here for his emissions last week and was given great service. Sad I can’t remember the guys name but he was very nice, knowledgable and helpful. My boyfriends car had needed a jumpstart because of the snow we had recently and when we went in to get it tested, the codes wouldn’t show up. So the guy recommended that he drive the car for a few miles then come back. When we came back, we weren’t really sure if it would show up but the guy was very helpful and everything worked out. I think we were there maybe 10mins before closing time and he didn’t make us feel rushed at all!
I normally come here for my emissions, inspection and gas also. =D

If you need a quick emissions inspection you can’t go wrong here. Quick and friendly service. I’m not sure how they do on actually repairing a car but it’s hard to mess up an inspection and they do it right. This is a good place to take care of those pesky, mandatory invasions on your time and wallet.

the good guy that used to do inspections left.
the new guy needed help from me removing the gas cap to test it!!!
i would look elsewhere.

Save yourself $ 200 in towing fees by going somewhere else! I brought my car in because of over heating and an oil leak. The belts also needed to be changed. They changed the belts, said I didn’t say anything about over heating or the oil leak, to pay the bill for the belts and to leave (even though theres oil everywhere). I get onto 66 the next day to have the car red lining again and needing to be towed back. It’s a shame that they don’t care about the quality of their work or their customers satisfaction.

I really like these guys, they’re always nice as can be. This is where I bring our cars for the annual rite of the safety and emissions inspections. It’s always a snap and I’m always in and out.

I have no clue about their service other than getting an emissions test and a safety inspection. All I know is that it took literally 10 minutes and I was approved for both and was out of there before I knew it. Yipee… time is money so I was happy…:)
