About Francisco's Automotive

Francisco's Automotive is an independent shop in Huntington Beach that has been around since 1985. They work on European luxury vehicles, Japanese models, American diesels, air-cooled VWs, and RVs. Services include A/C, diagnostics, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, and transmission work. They offer dealer-level diagnostics, according to their description. Reviewers are split. Some praise quick diagnosis, like one who said a suspected major engine issue turned out to be a faulty spark plug and coil. Others mention helpful phone support and informative staff. But cost complaints come up often, and several reviews call the experience a scam. One customer said to get estimates in writing after a bill came in double the quote. Another appreciated that the shop checked engine mounts and said they were fine, saving an unnecessary repair. The shop is not open 24/7 and has set hours. If you're mid-trip with a breakdown, it's worth calling ahead and confirming the estimate in writing before work starts.
