Auto Repair in Franklin, OH

“The owners changed in 2025, so if you’ve been there earlier - it is a totally different place now. We are very happy with the service, prices, speed and down to earth approach. Highly recommend!”

“Saw me on short notice due to some unexpected dash lights. They were able to fix the problem super quick, and it didn't cost a crazy amount. Seem like honest, knowledgeable, and kind people! Everything you'd want from a mechanic!”

“I looked on Yelp to locate a good rated automobile repair place. I noticed all of the 5 star rating that Wildcat Auto has. I took my car there to have my battery and alternator checked. I was greeted by Doug the owner who addressed my concerns and what additional service I wanted. My alternator was good but my battery needed replacing. I also had an oil change, filter replaced and tire rotation. My car starts and runs smoothly now. The pricing was excellent and fair. Wildcat deserves 10 stars, Honest, excellent service and friendly . This is the place to go for your auto needs.”

“Absolutely top-notch service! Bruns & Sons Automotive is hands down one of the best shops around. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take pride in what they do — honest diagnostics, fair pricing, and incredible attention to detail. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and treats every vehicle like it’s their own.

They kept me updated throughout the process, explained everything clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. It’s rare to find an auto shop you can fully trust, but Bruns & Sons has earned my loyalty. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work and outstanding customer care!

Thanks Matt Bennett and Family”

“After taking my vehicle to one collision repair shop, it was necessary to take it to another repair shop to correct mistakes made. I'm not sure if you know it or not. But it is very hard and difficult to get another repair shop to accept a vehicle that has been previously repaired. They accepted my vehicle and corrected the mistakes leaving me very very happy and satisfied. I would recommend them 10 out of 10 times?”

“I took my 2003 Jeep Wrangler to this shop in need of extensive frame repair. They inspected the vehicle and determined the best way to go forward is to completely remove the rotted out sections and welded in new sections. They also offered to remove all of the rust from the frame and coat it with rust inhibitors. After giving me a price, I decided to move forward with the repair. In short summary, the work they did was very impressive. The frame looks fantastic and will hold for many years to come. I will admit, it seems like the repair was rushed at the end since they missed a few spots of rust, some patches of frame not painted, and a few other minor things. I called the shop after leaving a review stating these observations and I received excellent customer service. They picked up my vehicle the next day, fixed the mistakes, and even threw in an upgrade for my vehicle for free. In the end, I am a very happy customer. I highly recommend this shop for their excellent customer service, impressive work, and genuine transparancy on cost. I've never met a shop that treats you like family until 41Seven. For any repairs or advice, this shop delivers.”

“My parents only serviced their vehicles at Fugates and I've continued the tradition for 40 years?! Jerry and everyone at Fugates are hardworking and honest. They take pride in their work, call to give diagnostics, detailed estimate and pickup time.My husband questioned why I drove to Franklin from Cincinnati to get my vehicles serviced because he, "knew a great local mechanic". So, he was a little skeptical. However, after moving locally, he only entrusts his work van to Fugates. All work is completed on time and at a reasonable price.In fact, regularly scheduled maintenance and rental vehicle were included in the purchase from the dealership. One visit to the dealership was one too many. Because Fugates is certified, you don't have to go to the dealership to maintain your warranty.”

“Ive known holly and Doyle scence I was a kid and I knew this was the right place to take my car Doyle was very professional and very honest with me about my car 🚗 I highly recommend them if u having car trouble thank u holly and Doyle u guys are the best..”

“Two years ago, my regular mechanic subbed my transmission replacement job to Transmaster. They did a great job --- inside of a week --- and my car presented a big job with some unique details. I would recommend this shop and may use them again for similar work this year.”

“Brought in my car after a flat tire that had to be towed to this Walmart auto Franklin location. I called and one gentleman told me they weren’t taking anymore walk ins and wouldn’t be able to help me today. Luckily I still had my car towed here and Cody and another young man got me back quickly and said they had no other cars in the garage at that time. So the man I spoke with on the phone lied… CODY IS AN EXCEPTIONAL team lead- he took care of me and my car. My boyfriend and I only have one car, so being without it even a day was scary because he works in the medical field and that is his only way to and from work. I’m so grateful for Cody’s kindness and his willingness to get me in and get me the best possible price for a new tire. Walmart management and corp. needs to know about this. This was amazing. I’m sitting here waiting in happy tears, I was scared worrying how I would pick my boyfriend up from work tonight from the hospital. Cody saved the day!!!”
