OUR STORY
30 Years of Hustle, Growth & Trust
From a few engines hauled in the back of a pickup to a major Phoenix engine-core operation, Franco’s Core has grown through hard work, relationships, and a commitment to serving builders right.
Where It All Started
Francisco Hernandez founded Franco’s Core in Phoenix, building the family business from the ground up with a focus on supplying dependable engine cores.
Growing the Wholesale Business
What began with a handful of engines grew into full truckloads of wholesale cores as demand increased and the company continued expanding.
From Wholesale to Retail
Local mechanics began asking to purchase usable parts surrounding the engine cores. That demand transformed previously scrapped components into a growing retail parts business.
Built for Every Builder
More than 30 years later, Franco’s Core serves wholesale accounts, professional mechanics, engine rebuilders, and everyday DIY customers while staying true to the same family-business values.
