Frank's Marathon

He was dishonest about his pricing. The sign clearly said $90 max tow and when we go to pay he charge $127 plus several “hidden” fees.

Very good mechanics here

My Toyota stopped running in Hilliard and I called for a tow to Frank’s Marathon. I was unsure of what I was in for because the coolant gauge had registered hot for a few minutes. Turns out, the tensioner broke and shredded the belt. The tow dropped my RAV4 off on Wednesday and it was back on the road Thursday afternoon. Price was fair, no surprises. Unfortunately, as a female, I’ve been talked down to before at mechanic shops and at the dealer. I appreciate Frank’s team diagnosing the problem and helping fix the situation and treating me equal. Great experience all around and will recommend Frank’s Marathon to my local friends and family.

I have recommended to everyone I know to take their car in here. Everyone was very helpful and compassionate through the whole process of getting my car looked at from the initial phone call to picking my car up after work had been done. I appreciated the explanations of what was wrong with my car and what they did to fix it. At other places I've gone, I've always felt like either I was being talked down to or people couldn't bother to explain things to me. That was not the case here, they were wonderful!

Frank's Marathon is the best auto care shop in UA. Three generations of Gillespie's have run this location on Riverside Drive. Super service at very reasonable prices and they stand by their work. I recommend Frank's very highly. Ned Timmons

I was a visitor in the area and my vehicle overheated. I had to return home, nearly two hours away, that same day. I called and talked to Adam who was kind and seemed to really be concerned, working my vehicle into the schedule. I brought it in. He cut a heater hose - added a new connector - and charged me for 1.5 hours of labor = $144. The next day I was experiencing extreme leaking again from the same area. My vehicle is now at my mechanic and he told me the work done by Adam was in no way a 1.5 hour job. I suspected price gouging but didn’t have enough information to effectively argue at the time of payment. So BE CAREFUL!!!!! Adam gave me the “anyone else would charge a lot more” speech and made himself out to be a heroin in my crisis. No sir. I was a vulnerable woman in an unknown area with a vehicle emergency and it was the perfect opportunity for someone to take advantage of -

A true hidden gem. Where do locals go? Here. Best Italian food I have had in a LONG time.

Called Frank last night around 4pm and he got me in quickly this morning at 8am. Had my car fixed within a few hours and back on my way by 11:30am. They let me supply my own parts and they installed them at no extra charge plus labor at a fair price. Frank has my business moving forward.
