That is not a joke and it is not a typo on our end. The BBB profile for Fryman's sits at a web address with the words gas station in it, because that is the category somebody picked years ago and nobody here has ever been able to change. It is one of eight or nine websites publishing this business, and Fryman's controls exactly none of them. There is no site of its own. This page is a demonstration of what one would look like. The shop is at 1039 E 9th St and the number is (419) 289-3333.
There is no first party source for any of this, because there is no first party website. So each item names where it came from. MechanicAdvisor publishes a list of brands this shop works on. That list is alphabetical and it stops at Daewoo behind a Show More link, which means a person on a phone sees seven car makes and no idea whether their own is on it. Everything else here is drawn from published reviews and listings, quoted as what a customer or a directory said, never dressed up as a promise the shop has made.
The one published customer review that gives any detail says the shop diagnosed the problem, repaired it, and then, in the reviewer's words, gave a ton of feedback on the car's status in general. That is the reviewer's account of one visit, not a service description written by Fryman's, because Fryman's has not written one anywhere. Ring (419) 289-3333 for what is actually offered.
MechanicAdvisor files this business under auto repair and publishes a brand list that begins Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Daewoo and then hides the rest. Those seven are the only makes any public page names today. Whether the shop works on a Ford or a Toyota is not answerable from the internet, which is a strange thing to say about a repair shop in 2026.
The published review describes being recommended through word of mouth, then being offered a lift to the hotel and collected again when the car was finished. That is one customer's experience on one day and it is quoted here as exactly that. It is also the single best sentence written about this business anywhere, and it is sitting on a directory site earning somebody else advertising money.
The hours that are published put this shop on a weekday schedule with the weekend shut. Two of those five days are visible on MechanicAdvisor and the other three are hidden behind a Show More link. A person deciding whether to drive over on a Saturday morning has to guess, and guessing is how a shop loses a job it never hears about.
Yelp, Nextdoor, Yahoo Local, the BBB, YellowPages, MechanicAdvisor, Groupon, AutoShopLookup and auto-usa.org all publish this shop. That last one cannot even be opened, because its security certificate is self signed and browsers refuse it. Every one of those pages is a version of Fryman's that Fryman's did not write.
(419) 289-3333 is on every listing and they all agree on it. It is the only channel this business fully controls and, today, the only reliable way to get a real answer about a car. That is not a criticism of the shop. It is an argument for giving the shop a second channel that works at ten at night.
Smetz's Tire and Service Center is about two miles away on E Main and runs a full site with service pages and a request an appointment form. That is the shop a person finds when they search auto repair in Ashland and do not already know a name. Fryman's has the reviews, including a five star one describing a lift to the hotel, and none of the web presence. This page exists to show what closing that gap looks like. It is a demonstration built without being asked, and it can be deleted on request.
Smetz's comes back with a real site and an appointment request form. Fryman's comes back as a Yelp page, a Groupon page, a Nextdoor page and a BBB profile filed under gas station. A stranger picks the one that looks like a business.
The address of that page has the words gas station in it, because that is the category on the record. Somebody who wanted a transmission looked at that and moved on. Nobody at the shop was ever told.
If they land on ashland-oh.auto-usa.org, the browser refuses to open it at all, because that site's security certificate is self signed. Read and confirmed today. A warning screen with your business name on it is worse than no listing.
Which works, and is the honest answer today. The phone is the only part of this that the shop controls, and by every published review the person on the other end knows what they are doing. The problem is everything that happens before the call.
On 2026-08-26 the following was verified by fetching the pages. Three obvious domains for this business return nothing at all. MechanicAdvisor loads and prints a business hours block showing Friday 8:00 to 5:00 and Monday 8:00 to 5:00, with the other five days collapsed behind a Show More link, and a brand list that runs Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Daewoo and then stops. It shows an overall rating of 5.0 based on one review. The Better Business Bureau profile for this shop lives at a web address containing the words gas station. AutoShopLookup loads and carries a customer review describing a diagnosis, a repair, a lift to a hotel and a collection afterwards. The auto-usa.org listing cannot be loaded because its certificate is self signed. No email address for this business was found on any of them, and no owner name was found on any page that could be opened. Ring (419) 289-3333.
Straight answer about where these times come from. MechanicAdvisor publishes a business hours block for this shop and, read live on 2026-08-26, it shows Monday 8:00 to 5:00 and Friday 8:00 to 5:00 with the remaining five days collapsed behind a Show More link. The weekday pattern above follows that and matches what other directory listings for this shop show. None of it is published by Fryman's, because Fryman's has no website. So treat these seven rows as a third party's account and confirm on (419) 289-3333. On a real version of this site, these rows would be the one place the answer lives and a holiday closing would take thirty seconds to post.
This one is consistent, which is worth saying after everything above. 1039 E 9th St., Ashland, OH 44805 appears on the Yelp, MechanicAdvisor, YellowPages, Nextdoor and AutoShopLookup listings and they all agree with each other, and so does the phone number, (419) 289-3333. The address and the number are the two things the internet has right about this shop. The category, the brand list and the hours are the three it has wrong or half hidden, and those are the three that a page of your own fixes.
A form like this on a real version of the site would land in whatever inbox the shop wanted, and it would take a job at ten at night when nobody is there to answer the phone. This one is part of a demonstration and it does not reach Fryman's. To reach Fryman's today, ring (419) 289-3333.
This page was built by Rough Looking Website as an unpaid demonstration. Nobody at Fryman's asked for it or approved it. Every fact on it was read off a public page on 2026-08-26 and the source is named beside the fact. No labor rate, no repair price, no warranty and no turnaround time appears anywhere on this page, because the shop publishes none and we will not invent any. The one sentence about a repair happening quickly is a quotation from a customer review and is marked as such. This page is set to noindex so it will never compete with the business in a search result.
$49 one time setup, then $79/month, no contract. Hosting, lead capture, traffic tracking, and your own dashboard are all included.
