Three guys came out to check the on-board diagnostics and wheel bolt torque. They determined it was a sensor malfunction and safe to drive.

I told them I live in Austin and didn't know whether I'd be a return customer. Didn't care. Still no charge. And the garage itself? Clean, well-maintained, well-lighted.

Warning...long post but worth the read if you are contemplating taking your vehicle here to get…read moreworked on. Do not take your vehicle here if you want it fixed properly. Synopsis: 1- They did not properly install my tank. 2. They did not use the supplied parts resulting in a defective installation (they threw away one supplied part that was critical to the installation). 3. They broke my fuel sending unit...twice!! 4. They dumped 15 gallons of diesel ($3.62 a gallon...$54.30 worth!) on the floor and did not replace it...but offered to replace it and charge me... I took my 2021 Ram 3500 here at 1 in the afternoon to have an aftermarket Diesel tank installed. The guy at the check in counter said that they can install my part but defective customer parts are not warrantied (as they should not be) but the labor to install the part was. I supplied them with the exact instructions and emphasied to them that they MUST only use the parts supplied. They told me my truck would be worked on and ready by the end of the day becuase they were slow. Never heard from them by the close of business. Called the next day at 11 in the morning and they said they just got it in. They called later in the day and let me know they broke a part off of the fuel tank when installing (the fuel sending unit hose connectors). They broke it becuase they did not properly install the tank on the truck. They said they could sell me one (For over $600) or I would have to pay to replace it myself becuase customer supplied parts are not under warranty...even if they break them...I was able to get a replacement under warranty so they installed the tank again and said it was ready. I picked my truck up, filled the tank and fuel spilled out all over the ground...Took it back to Cambridge and spoke with the Head Mechanic (Mike). He said my new tank must be defective because they installed it "correctly"...they did not. He then said that their labor was NOT warrantied because I supplied the part...direct contradiction to what the guy at the check in counter stated to me. After 45 minutes of "discussing", Mike finally agreed to "prove to me" that the issue was the tank and not the labor. I watched him put my truck on a lift and proceed to remove the now full tank (about 400 pounds worth of fuel now...52 gallons...minus what spilled all over the place due to the faulty labor). He used a transmission lift/jack to support the tank but it did not operate correctly. One of Mike's other mechanics hit the emergency release switch on the jack and it dropped the whole tank 3 feet (falling on the other mechanic), resulting in another broken fuel sending unit...which they would not replace even though it was their fault so I had to go get another one (a total of 2 $400 sending units now that they have broken). Mike removed the tank and I discovered that they did not use the supplied gasket during the installation (remember, I stressed to them that they must use ALL supplied parts) which resulted in a poor tank seal leading to the Diesel spilling out all over the place. The gasked I supplied for the install had been thrown in the trash. They went and found the discarded gasket, reinstalled they tank and it worked perfectly. Final insult to injury was that they spilled and removed 15 gallons of Diesel ($54.30 worth) and refused to replace it. This whole debacle took nearly 3 days...a far cry from the 5 hours I was told it would take. Do NOT use Cambridge Auto Center if you want your repairs/Labor to be done correctly, on-time and warrantied...they suck.

Suggested it might be a failed break power booster. Right.... I hobbled the vehicle home and checked it out. There was air in the system, an easy 10 min fix. Oh and by the way, they also cross threaded another lug nut so I had to shear that one off to get to the brake. So I went in for a cross threaded lug nut and came out with another cross threaded lug nut!! Not sure if it's a scam or just incompetence.

Even though they must hear sad sob stories all day lol they show the most compassion and interest making me feel my small town vibe.

Fast forward to business he humbly warned and explained all options, when all said and done got me fixed up enough to either drive all the way back home or leave pickup for a potential swap. I am one to be weary and narcissistic about these things and felt abnormally out of character to accept help and input from the man with experience. Tip: if you are in emergency send message for help they do first come first serve due to the high demand for service with them.

I was a little frustrated the first time I went in - I didn't understand the system. They did a diagnostic check, which took about 90 minutes. They identified several problems with my truck. I assumed that they would have repaired what I took it in for. I had to schedule another appointment for the actual repair. This was a misunderstanding on my part, so I don't fault them - I was just expecting the repair to be done on my initial visit.

Christian Brothers Automotive - Professional, Honest, and Reliable…read more I recently took my 2014 Audi S4 to Christian Brothers Automotive in New Braunfels for routine maintenance, and my experience reaffirmed why they are my go-to shop. Over time, I've learned that you can tell a lot about a repair shop not just by how they perform regular service, but by how they handle unexpected issues. Services Performed: During this visit, I had the following work done: BG Brake System Service - A full brake fluid exchange using BG DOT 4 Ultra-Dry Premium Brake Fluid, following the correct OEM procedure. They also inspected my entire brake system for leaks and worn components to ensure everything was in top shape. Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil Change (0W-40)- A complete oil change using Mobil 1 full synthetic oil, along with a new OEM oil filter. They also allowed me to provide my own engine flush bottle, which I greatly appreciated, car has 213k original miles. Courtesy Inspection - A thorough multi-point check to identify any potential issues. Additional Oil (Above 5 Quarts) - Since my Audi requires more than 5 quarts, they added the correct additional amount to ensure proper lubrication. Engine Bay Cleaning & Fluids Top-Off- More on this below, but after addressing a minor issue, they went the extra mile to clean my engine bay and top off my fluids. A Minor Issue & How They Handled It: A few days after my visit, I noticed an oil leak, which turned out to be from a slightly loose oil filter housing. These things happen, but how a shop corrects a mistake says everything about their integrity and professionalism. I returned and spoke politely with the manager, explaining my concern. Without hesitation, they: - Inspected my vehicle immediately - Confirmed and fixed the issue on the spot - Cleaned my engine bay to remove any leaked oil residue - Topped off all my fluids at no charge Their commitment to making things right without excuses or delays is why I will continue to trust them with my vehicles. Why I Choose Christian Brothers Over the Dealership: I used to take my cars to the dealership, but since switching to Christian Brothers, I've realized several key advantages: Better Pricing- Every time I compare, Christian Brothers quotes me significantly less than the dealership for the same services. OEM Parts Used - They have consistently used Audi-spec OEM parts, ensuring my car is maintained to factory standards. Excellent Customer Service - The service advisors, including Brandon Ochs, are always transparent and professional. They take the time to explain recommendations without upselling unnecessary repairs. Honest & Fair Recommendations - While they pointed out additional recommended services (like valve cover gaskets, suspension components, and spark plugs), they didn't pressure me to approve them immediately. I appreciate a shop that gives honest advice while allowing me to prioritize repairs on my own terms. Proven Reliability - This isn't my first visit. I now bring both of my Audis here for all maintenance and repairs. They've earned my trust through consistent, high-quality work. Final Thoughts - A Shop That Stands Behind Its Work As a manager myself, I regularly handle complaints and concerns in my line of work. No business is perfect, but what truly matters is how they address issues when they arise. Christian Brothers handled my concern with professionalism, urgency, and accountability. That level of service is why I no longer go to the dealer and will continue to rely on them for my automotive needs. If you're looking for a trusted, honest, and skilled repair shop in New Braunfels, Christian Brothers Automotive is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I had my oil changed on 2/5/26. During the appointment CBA said they inspected my brakes; my…read morebrakes were at 6mm and when they get down to 5 mm, they recommend them to be replaced. I had my brakes replaced elsewhere on 2/21/26. The mechanic showed me my old brakes and the new brakes. The old brakes looked barely worn. The brakes that I replaced measured at 15.875mm. So either CBA lied about inspecting my brakes at all, and just recommended being replaced due to mileage; or they tried to take advantage of me because I'm a woman.

Also suggest going to firestone for alignment. 200 lifetime and no extra fees when you get it done Update as of feb 26'. If I could do negative stars or even no stars I would I just had suspension replaced at another shop and I told them I would get alignment because I already have lifetime warranty here. They laughed knowing crooked problems with company. Besides point but throwing in how crappy this company is. But I drive to brake check everything was fine. I leave after alignment and its worse than no alignment! They didnt give paper showing before and after until I raised hell after to see what was done. Damn near nothing done to back. Front was tweaked a little. They did not suggest anything. After I come back because my car drives worse they say I need all these new parts. The parts they are trying to have me buy is what I literally just replaced. How crooked do you have to be? Will be talking to corporate soon.
