Frank's Automotive & Collision has been the trusted auto repair and collision shop in New Braunfels since 1998. We're family-owned, ASE Certified, and I-CAR Gold Class — and after 26+ years and 100,000+ vehicles serviced, we've built our reputation the way Central Texas towns like to do business: do the work right, tell people the truth, and stand behind what you sold.
Our story — since 1998
When we opened the shop on TX-46, New Braunfels was a smaller town and most cars had carburetors. The town has grown; so have the vehicles. Today's diagnostics involve scan tools talking to forty-plus computer modules; tomorrow's will involve high-voltage hybrid drivetrains and ADAS calibration after every windshield replacement. We've kept up — Bosch Service Center status, I-CAR Gold renewals every year, regular training for our techs — because the alternative is sending you back to the dealership.
What hasn't changed: family ownership, plain-language estimates, and the policy that we tell you what can wait, not just what we can charge you for.
Our team and certifications
Our service technicians are ASE Certified — the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence's standard, recertified every five years. Our collision techs are I-CAR Gold Class, the top training tier in the industry, which means they train annually on the specific materials, adhesives, and welding procedures the vehicle manufacturers require for a safe, warranty-eligible repair.
We're also:
- AAA Approved Auto Repair — independently inspected and surveyed
- Bosch Service Center — certified to work on Bosch parts and systems
- Tech-Net Professional — gives our 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty nationwide coverage
- PPG High Performance Refinish Network — for OEM-matched paint and clear-coat
Our promise
You'll get a transparent written estimate before any work starts. You'll get a real conversation about what needs to be done now versus what can wait. You'll get a 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty on the work, honored at thousands of Tech-Net shops nationwide if you happen to be on the road. And if it's after hours, you'll get the drop box and a phone call back the next morning.
We work on European, American, and Asian vehicles — see the brands we service — and we handle everything from a $40 oil change to a full collision rebuild. If you're not sure whether something's in our lane, call (830) 627-3939 and ask.
