Driveshafts by Frank Wallace

Took my driveshaft to be balanced and they told me it needed new joints. Payed to change them and first run after 5 min of driving, the middle joint cracked.
Took it back and they changed it.
Second test run, after driving for 5 blocks it cracks again and i see the joint and its trash material. I do not recommend this shop, if you can call it a shop because they dont give you receipt of the work and they wont return your money.

I love when I have drive line issues! It means I get to visit Frank. The experience with Frank is one you will never forget. If you measure a machinist by the amount of tools or materials one has then Frank would be a clear winner.

Frank is a certified master machinist.
He can build a driveshaft from scratch if required (and he has done so for me several times).
I would put 100% trust in Frank’s ability to build a driveshaft that is stronger and more precise than an OEM unit.

I hope that Frank quits smoking so that he will be around a long time!
Reminds me of my fathers uncle from forty years ago. Willing to share his lifetime of
knowledge,. helped get me back on the road. Fixed the drive shaft that I screwed up, took the time to educate me along the way. A real old school guy.

Where do I start at. First off Frank is a sharp witted person with extreme «knowledge» of Driveshafts to general Politics. His hospitality is like no other, I traveled from San Jose to get my F-​150 driveshaft straightened and u-​joints replaced. I highly recommend this place, Franks Shop is the last of the Mohicans, they just don’t have shops like this anymore…

Driveshafts by Frank Wallace saved my life. I have been dealing with a nagging driveline vibration on my 1966 Fairlane for about the last year that I could not figure out for the life of me. I had another driveline shop «balance» and «straighten» my driveshaft twice, so I eliminated that as a possibility and spent the next year throwing parts at the car trying to figure out where this vibration was coming from.
U-​joints. Axles. Axle bearings. Transmission mounts. Pinion angles. Nothing worked.
After I tried it all, I focused back on the driveshaft, and I took it in to Driveshafts by Frank Wallace for a second opinion. Right away, one of his guys thought there was too much weight on it, and didn’t think it could possibly be balanced correctly. DbFW had my driveshaft straightened, balanced and replaced the front U-​Joint in less than a day, on a Saturday at that, and they did all the work for $ 85 cash. It was a hell of a deal, but the moment of truth came when I installed the log and took my car on the freeway.
SMOOTH AS BUTTER! After a year of heartache trying to get this vibration figured out, DbFW got it ironed out in 5 hours for less that $ 100.
If you have any driveline issues and you live in San Francisco, go to Driveshafts br Frank Wallace and nowhere else. The service is fast, the guys are super knowledgeable, the prices are more than reasonable, and they seem to have a great selection of parts. He has enough transmission and diff yokes on the wall for every hot rod in San Francisco.
Thanks so much to Frank and his guys for balancing my driveshaft the right way and getting me back on the road smoothly. I can’t thank you guys enough!
**DbFW is cash only, so don’t bring no plastic to pay.
