Overall Customer Satisfaction
Customers consistently praise the shop for outstanding repair quality, with many noting their vehicles looked brand new upon return. The team is widely recognized for exceptional communication, including proactive text and email updates throughout the repair process. Timeliness is a frequent highlight, with numerous customers reporting their vehicles were completed ahead of schedule. The staff is repeatedly described as friendly, professional, and helpful. Customers also appreciated the added touch of vehicles being cleaned and detailed before pickup. A few customers noted minor concerns such as slight overspray, a tire gauge not reconnected, and occasional delays, but these were isolated and did not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive experiences shared.

My Experience

I had an excellent experience with Franklin Paint and Body while getting my Dodge Challenger repaired. They were extremely communicative, efficient, and diligent throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way, made sure everything was handled properly, and went above and beyond to get the job done right. It’s hard to find a business that genuinely cares about providing great service, but Franklins definitely delivered. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional customer service! 10/10 experience!

Customer Service

My Experience

I really appreciate Mary for being my advocate with Alfa and being willing to separate the invoices so that I could pay the difference and not have my SUV totaled. And then the overall out of pocket was over $2000 less. I also appreciate how quickly my suv was ready. Thank you to all of the team for fixing my SUV and making it as good as new! I’m so happy to have her back!

Great job. Great people.
