Steve returned my call, scheduled a time to review my RV's problem. He estimated only 1 hour of labor plus part. This is exactly what I was billed. Steve and Bill, a mechanic, were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Emma B

I brought my 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport to Franklynn Automotive to get a second opinion for a faulty turbo that was recently looked at by McDonald Volkswagen. I was informed by VW Service that I would need to replace my turbo and get a subsequent oil change afterwards costing $2,70000. Additionally, was charged $250.00 for the diagnostic. One of the major concerns was that the vehicle would not accelerate. I took my vehicle to get a second opinion from Franklynn Automotive who I was referred to from my wife’s best friend. Upon completion of the servicing, not only did they discover that I only had a turbo by-pass valve disconnected and a turbo hose after the intercooler hose disconnected and they did not charge me to fix this. Additionally, they changed my front and rear brakes and changed the synthetic oil for less than $800.00. This service team did phenomenal work, they also did not charge me for the initial diagnostic as well. I will be recommending them to my friends for any care service repairs and I will also become a regular customer of theirs. Satisfied customer. Ramone

Our car had warning light on and we were leaving for a road trip in two days. They got us in right away and identified and fix the problem in less than an hour. Really impressed with their customer service.

I brought in my Subaru with an A/C issue with no appointment and they looked at it the same day and repaired it within a couple of days. I had my CVT serviced as well. These guys are great.

I looked up the reviews before I came here but honestly it just didn't do them Justice. These folks are truly amazing! I had a repair that I thought was going to cost me 3K to fix and they were able to get it fixed for half of that including my oil change. Their communication is top tier, I knew everything that was happening every step of the way. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I got here. Also they leave you a cookie 🤗 i found my new place. Thank you all so much. Keep up the excellent service

It is rare to find any business who is solid in quality, timeliness and pricing- the good ones have 2:3. That is why I feel five stars is not enough for Franklynn Automotive. In fact I drive over an hour out of my way to Littleton because this is the only mechanic shop I trust with both our domestic and import vehicles. I even recommend our kid’s school teachers here… From start to finish, the staff is incredibly responsive and provides timely, seamless communication. A special shoutout goes to Steve, whose deep knowledge and sharp problem-solving skills ensure that even the trickiest automotive issues are diagnosed and fixed correctly. What truly sets them apart is their fair and transparent pricing. They back up every recommendation with thorough, detailed pictures of exactly what is going on. You can instantly feel the honesty behind their extensive expertise. Finding a team this skilled is rare, and the peace of mind Steve and the rest of the crew provide is worth every single mile of the drive!

Franklynn Automotive is BY FAR, the best auto shop around! I first came to Franklynn when my air blower in my car went out. Franklynn gave me a fair price, they did a fantastic job and their customer service is excellent! Recently I came in to get new brake pads and their price was much better than their competitors near by. Franklynn Automotive stands out from other auto shops in the area with how great they treat their customers and the outstanding work they do. I recommend them to everyone I know. 10/10, FIVE STARS!!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Preventative maintenance includes the inspections and services performed before a component fails or creates a breakdown. Depending on the vehicle, this may include oil and filter changes, tire rotations, fluid services, battery testing, brake inspections, filter replacement, and checks of belts, hoses, lights, wipers, steering and suspension. The correct services depend on the manufacturer’s schedule, vehicle condition and driving environment.

Start with the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual or manufacturer’s service information. Recommendations should also consider the vehicle’s age, mileage, service history and actual condition. A professional inspection may identify worn or deteriorated items, but it should not replace the manufacturer’s guidance. Avoid generic service packages that recommend the same fluids and parts for every vehicle.

Severe service can include repeated short trips, frequent cold starts, extended idling, stop-and-go traffic, dusty roads, towing, hauling and operation in extreme temperatures. Many everyday driving patterns may qualify even when the vehicle is not used commercially. If those conditions apply, the manufacturer may recommend shorter intervals for certain maintenance items. AAA advises following the vehicle’s more rigorous schedule when it is regularly operated under severe conditions. See AAA’s maintenance-interval guidance.

It can. Temperature swings, winter cold, summer heat, dusty conditions, potholes and mountain travel place different demands on the battery, tires, fluids, cooling system, brakes and suspension. Towing or climbing steep grades can also increase drivetrain and cooling-system loads. Littleton drivers should consider their actual routes and vehicle use when planning maintenance rather than following a generic mileage schedule.

An inspection evaluates the current condition of components and identifies visible wear, leaks or safety concerns. Preventative maintenance involves performing a scheduled service, such as replacing engine oil, exchanging a specified fluid or installing a filter. An inspection may lead to a maintenance recommendation, but finding a component in good condition does not necessarily cancel a manufacturer-required service interval.

No. Maintenance can reduce risks associated with worn parts, deteriorated fluids and neglected systems, but it cannot guarantee that a vehicle will never experience an unexpected failure. Electronic modules, road damage and mechanical components may fail with little warning. The purpose of preventive care is to identify predictable needs early and support safety, reliability and long-term ownership.

Possibly. Older vehicles may require closer attention to oil consumption, fluid leaks, cooling-system components, belts, hoses, suspension and electrical connections. However, age or mileage alone does not justify every available service. The plan should combine the manufacturer’s schedule with maintenance records, inspection findings and the owner’s plans for the vehicle.

Not always. Maintenance reminders commonly track engine-oil life or mileage, but they may not monitor tire wear, brake condition, fluid contamination, filters, belts, hoses or battery health. Warning lights also usually indicate that a problem has already been detected rather than that routine maintenance is due. Consult the complete maintenance schedule instead of relying on one dashboard reminder.

Before a long drive or mountain trip, useful checks include tires and the spare, brakes, battery, fluid levels, cooling-system condition, belts, hoses, lights and wipers. Existing warning lights, leaks, vibrations or unusual noises should be investigated before departure. Allow enough time for recommended repairs rather than scheduling an inspection immediately before the trip. AAA highlights tires, batteries, brakes, wipers and fluids as important pre-trip checks.

Franklynn Automotive provides preventative maintenance and vehicle inspections for drivers in Littleton, Highlands Ranch and nearby communities. The shop can review the vehicle’s manufacturer schedule, mileage, maintenance history and operating conditions before recommending services.
