F & R Automotive Car Care gets the job done

Welcome back to another Spotlight Series with Sarah!
The series where the writer gets to know the city more personally, while the readers get to know the writer better in the process.
Some people are ‘car people,’ while other people are not. Unfortunately, I am the latter.
Whenever my older brother or my boyfriend try to explain anything car-related to me, I listen and try to understand. Genuinely, I do. But no matter how much I try, sometimes it just sounds like a foreign language to me.
My brother is the type of person that can look at a car, figure out what’s wrong with it, and fix it. My brother, my brother’s best friend, and my boyfriend all have that same gift. My mom has an older Buick model that needs some TLC and all three of them have worked on this car before, but every couple of months, something new needs fixing.
The latest issue occurred when my mom was driving my boyfriend and me to the airport and she noticed her brakes were barely working. By the time she returned home, she texted me that her brakes were completely useless.

F & R Automotive Car Care

This time when my brother inspected the car, he realized this repair was going to be a bigger job than he had the time for. He decided it would be worth paying for the job to get done by a professional, so he began calling around repair shops in Wayne.
Only one place he called did brake line repairs with a reasonable repair timeline that worked for him (from date he called, to drop-off date, to pick-up date). Certain places informed him that he couldn’t drop the car off for days to even a week.
F & R Automotive Car Care said he could drop it off the same day or the next.
On Friday, September 20th, my brother called a tow truck (since the brakes no longer worked) and had my mom’s car dropped off at F & R Automotive Car Care.
That same day, he received a phone call from F & R that the repairs were done. So I drove him there to pick up the car, but the F & R workers informed my brother that they noticed the car was not fully fixed and needed to keep the car over the weekend.
On Monday, September 23rd, my brother received another call from F & R that the repairs were completed. So again, I drove my brother there to pick up the car. He inspected the car with the worker and drove it home to check for himself.
“Everything that was wrong was fixed,” said my brother. “They were very communicative, I was well aware of how things were going or of any timeline changes, and they were reasonable with the price.”
The repairs my mom’s car received: full brake line replacement, full rotor replacement, transmission line leak repair, and window motor relay replacement.
“They also identified some repairs that I’ll probably need to take care of in the future,” said my brother. “I liked the transparency of them bringing something to my attention that could become a problem before it became a problem that was completely unrelated to anything I had done.”
So when that time comes, my brother said he could take my mom’s car back to F & R to get the remainder of those future repairs done.
F & R Automotive Car Care has been in Wayne for 25 years, two years under new ownership.
