I would give A&B Brake and Alignment 6 or 7 stars if I could. My wife had an accident driving from Dallas to Tyler and the other driver hit one of the rear wheels. It was drivable but the wheel was damaged and the car was not driving smoothly. She took it in and Mike looked it over, made some adjustments, and took it out on the highway to test it to make sure it was safe so that she could drive it back to Dallas. After doing all of this, he did not charge us for the service. He said he just wanted to help out and be sure the car would be safe to drive. Thank you Mike. read more

Honest, reliable and they stand behind their work! Get there early, they are in demand and stay busy.

My car was serviced 8/9/2023 and was well worth the wait . It is a first come first serve but the men are working punctually to get everyone in and out ! Now I did wait 5 hours because there were cars there before me BUT I paid 1/3 of what the dealership would've charged me . Also , the sweet receptionist offered me her umbrella to go get some food and she will keep you informed on how long it'll be once your car is on the mechanic machine thing . Overall 10/10 experience ! Bring something to snack on read more

Really great reliable and TRUSTWORTHY repair. Great work at a reasonable price. The people are so nice. read more

Not accustomed to letting automotive shops work on our 1969 classic Chevelle SS, however we had heard that A&B was a group we could trust to do the work correctly. Mike took time to meet with me personally to make sure that they understood what problems we were having. He made several recommendations but said they would look at several areas to make certain they addressed the issue at the source and weren't chasing maybes. The result - PROBLEM SOLVED with one day service on a fairly complex job, extremely fair pricing and a firm handshake and thank you upon completion. The car probably hasn't driven this well since new. Would definitely be back if service was needed on the Chevelle or any of our cars. read more

Honest people.My grandfather told me bout 20 years ago to take my vehicle to this business because they are honest, they've not ever lied or tried to overcharge for work ever. I reside in the Irving, Tx area and I'll take my car to Tyler for any issues in which they can repair, that's how much I trust the business. Example, dealer was going to (maybe, I would not have ever known) replace a part I didn't need and charge me $500 and A & B told me that my hose was just worn and repaired it and saved me at least $400. The honesty is that, I assumed I knew the problem when I took my car in, they could have easily allowed me to think I was right, kept my car a few hours and charged me a little less and I would've not known, Their mechanics were honest and I was there 30 minutes and issue was resolved.

I came from out of town and needed an alignment, this shop more than lived up to my expectation! Everyone was very nice and very helpful, and treated me with respect. The price I paid was less than what was quoted. I dropped my car off expecting the alignment to take most of the day, which was perfectly fine with me, they called me an hour and a half later that it was ready! I highly recommend this place! read more

Having my brakes changed here, love the old fashioned service and quality. The elder man who owns the business is the most genuine read more

A & B Brake And Alignment - Auto Repair Near Me - Tyler, Texas

The service was awesome. Super fast and reasonably cheap. I will get all my brake jobs done here.

I drove in from Austin to Tyler, had a grinding noise front brakes. Called A&B to see if they could look at the truck brakes. Mike stated come in and we can look. Long story short, A&B had brake pads and they fixed the truck ASAP. Thanks Mike for you professionalism and speedy quality service! read more

You have to get up early to get in (first come first serve) but once your in, they found the issue, clearly explained the problem, then fixed it. read more

I went for an alignment and paid for services not once did they mention that my car strut was making a noise because they thought it wasn't important. I believe my tire falling off due to that would be very important to mention to a customer, especially for a momma who has little ones. Do not go here worse experience ever! Poor customer service! read more

Mike was fantastic! These guys are very honest and will not jerk you around. They did an alignment for me on an 2018 Audi Q7. All I can say is "great work at a great price!" I will definitely be back! read more

Honesty, accompanied with quality work, is hard to find these days. You won't find a more honest group than those at A & B. Not to mention, their work is quality, not rushed, and reasonably priced. Class acts! read more

We needed to get our front and back brakes done while we were visiting Tyler, Texas and they had us in and out within an hour, did a great job, were reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly to work with. I would recommend going here if you have any brake issues. read more

March 2022 , I read all of the positive reviews about A&B. Took the vehicle in for shimmying on hard braking and had the rotors turned on both axles. I specifically asked Mike about going ahead and replacing the rotors but he said my pads had 40-50% life left and he was confident the rotors could be turned and I would be good for 'awhile'--$368. The brakes worked for 'awhile'! Like 9k miles and back it went to A&B--shimmying on braking! In July 2022, same issue. This time, new pads and rotors on both axles. $468.42 (got a bit of credit from previous parts). Right around 10K miles early April 2023, truck started shimmying again, I called them and they said yeah those rotors need to be turned! Are you kidding me? Not even 10K miles? I've put 160K miles on this vehicle and only had 2 other dual axle brake job. Either they don't know what they are doing or those are some terribly thin rotors they are using for replacement. No warranty either, they just want me to cough up another $368 to get the rotors turned again! Nope not using them again. Hopefully, you will get better work and service out of them than I did. I would give them a 0 star but the service manager Mike is a standup guy and seems honest so I will give them that. read more

I have gone to A & B Brake and Alignment maybe 4 times since moving to Tyler, TX. Always received good and timely service. Their site is secure at night making overnight stays, if needed, safe for my vehicles. I give A&B Brake and Alignment 5 stars for the care they put into making my vehicles safe. For example, in May of 2015, I brought in my 98 Subaru Forester for brake work. Upon inspection, they let me know that I had a front right wheel bearing that was very "Squirrely" (their words...haha) and needed immediate attention. Not being a mechanic, I had thought the knocking noise I had been hearing (for about 6 months) was coming from the timing chain. Did I mention I was not a mechanic? Anyways, bad things could have happened had this not been addressed. Thanks for keeping my family safe! read more

Great work at a fair price! They did exactly what they said they'd do and didn't do uneeded work.

This is probably the best brake shop I've ever been to. I have a 2013 Jaguar XK and everything you do to it is expensive. I was getting a shimmy in the car when I was braking hard. They turned all the rotors (which Jaguar said couldn't be done) and now it stops perfectly. The charge, $120.00! Unbelievable! If you bring your car anywhere else, you're a fool. read more

I have not had a service from this shop, but it was recommended to me by a friend who has used them multiple times. I took my car in because my brakes have been squeaking a little, they checked them out and told me that they were just fine. That I could get them replaced if the noise was bothering me but that they looked really good. I was very surprised and it made a really good impression on me. I will for sure come back when I do need my brakes done. This is a mom and pop local business and they seem to really take pride in what they do. read more

They are the best. They are so very honest. If I had taken my truck anywhere else, they would have told me I needed a complete brake job. I only needed the rotors turned. Brakes are great now. Do not take your car or truck anywhere else. Thank you A & B read more

These are great people, and have been in business for I believe almost 50 years or longer. I have been doing business with them for ten years. Dorman, Mike and the crew are honest fair dealing folks, and will be straight with you from start to the completion, with the maintenance of your vehicle. I highly recommend them. read more

This place is perfect! I got an estimated cost on two services needed and BOTH times the final bill was $10-20 LESS than the price quoted. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable and the wait time was minimal. It's the best I've ever felt about giving money to any mechanic's shop. The best thing of all is that they don't take advantage of, or look down on, those of us that aren't car experts. read more

Friendly people, good work. The cost was $200 less than estimate. The only problem was the grease stains on the drivers seat and door upholstery. I cleaned it with Oxiclean . I would use these folks again but will cover the seat with a blanket . read more

Have been here twice, once for rear brake reline, then for leaky wheel cylinders. Each time the service was prompt (although don't take reservations) and within their estimated cost. Which was very fair. Nice shop deserving your brake business. read more

Man- these guys are what all mechanic shops should be like. The people there are courteous, helpful and honest. I took my 72 Mustang there last year to have the suspension replaced. They gave me a great price, did the work quick and did a great job! I will use these guys again. read more
