So I went here yesterday . I was given a quote . It was very busy and I made an appointment for today at 1000. Johnathan ordered the part . When I arrived today , I told the man I was here for a 10 an appointment and asked how long it would be ? He said 45 min to a hour for the repair but he doesn't know how long it will be .I told him that was the purpose of me and Johnathan making the appointment . I wanted to coordinate it so I could spend more time with my grandkids . He said to me I'm not Johnathan. I don't know what he told you ! In front of several people . He had a real nasty attitude when I arrived ... He proceeded to go out to the stall and then retuned and asked me in front of everyone loudly how much did he quote me . Then he said , do you want it done or not I told him to proceed with the repairs but, I told him I would be contacting higher up with some concerns he said that's okay you can ... Again being smart I would not recommend this place . Also the person who was upfront today was beyond rude ! Also I noticed a scratch on my inside door that wasn't there I'm not happy about this read more

I went to this shop to follow up on some brake pads that I was told was available for my car. I went in on a Sunday and he say he was the manager was walking out to check in another vehicle, he asked if he could help me, I said i was coming in to see the options for my vehicle as far as brake pads, he blew me off saying there were no options. I explain to him that i had previously call some time before and was told it was and I asked him was he going to at least look it up, then his story changed oh yes i can but i am very busy, so at that point i left. I did a complaint online and was asked to call the number in San Antonio and I did, the gentleman said all the right things and told me I would be contacted by Jonathan, that never happened, so they talk a good game but don't follow up. SMH! read more

My Infiniti Q60 was already inspected by another shop working on another issue, so already knew the status of just needing front brakes. Free inspection and $79.95, rotors turned $60. So about $200 plus tax. Went to breakfast, get a call and they want $1050 to replace all rotors pads and hardware! No Thanks! It used to be where this type of thing happened to unsuspecting women by greedy salesmen! I brought it to these guys to same some of my time only! Went to O'reilly's, got rear pads for later($52), ordered front pads ($59) and turned both front rotors ($50) Under $200 out the door. Don't trust the profit mongering sales people here! read more

They aligned my Charger today. Quick and excellent service. I recommend this shop. read more

Let me just say I made a yelp account just to leave this review. Terrible service. Lied about condition of brakes, while trying to overcharge for replacements! Told me my drum brakes were completely down to metal...I don't even have drums. Right then and there I knew i wasn't gonna get the work done. They seemed to get angry at my response and this was assured to me later on when every single bolt or lug nut was tightened almost to the point of damage. These are brake systems you actually have peoples lives in your hands...act like it just a little please. read more

I have taken my car my car into this place 3 times. Each time the service took quite awhile because they were pretty busy but I have always been satisfied with the work and the price that they offer. They also offer a one oil change the next one half off which is really nice I only ended up paying half price for my last oil change. They also changed my brakes for me awhile back and I haven't had any problems. Over all I think it's a great place for basic car needs read more

It's not a hit piece only the truth in my opinion from a disabled veteran. Brake Check in Harker Height and Central Texas...They choose who they will scam by the color of their skin. I love everyone equally. NTB's black manager did the same to me a year earlier. They broke my car when I brought it in for a wheel alignment. They pulled it into the bay and then called me to tell me it wouldn't start. I had just had my ignition system battery alternator water pump and a general inspection completed at a European car shop that I trust. They could not identify how they broke my starter but under those conditions a warranty is voided so I have it int the shop as of 17 July 2022. I looked like I had a job, being a black man the smile white manager chose to f$$& me over. I had just help a stranded white lady change a tire. She was to weak to break the lugs and had been on the side of the highway for 30 minutes with no one stopping to help her obviously she had no one else. Then this happens. I had just got my car out of the shop. There are still people that are good. I do have a job and took my car out of there to my repair shop. I told the other customers not to worry they won't break two cars back to back...It's to suspicious. They were under my car where the starter is but had to damage my under body engine cover to get to it. Why were they in my engine compartment? They then made up an exscuse when I asked them that they had to disengage the engine so it could go into neutral. An old white guy that was watching them told me that's how they make their money. So, they identified me as a n&@ with money that they were going to Jim Crow. NTB did the same thing as well breaking 8 of my control arms. I had that repaired at my auto body shop and the asked me what did you hit...once again my extended warranty did not cover it since they told them it was deliberate. Management, none of your worker would tell me what happen but their body language did so Don't take out any retribution on the young black men. They refused to talk since they feared you (violent nature towards them in-my opinion). It makes me not want to use a shops without a diverse work force at all levels. You may not be their next victim but I am 100% identified because I work and am black in my opinion by NTB and Just Brakes. I drive a well kept older BMW so they know it cost to keep it running I just like the body style. I am a disabled veteran...I would still fight for their freedom again...to ply their thieving trade. The will of the people will drive them out of business. You cannot choose who you fight for that's...that's the first step to oppression of the people under the pretense of justice. read more

I stopped here after visiting NTB. I left NTB with a quote for $124.99 for an alignment. NTB was dirty, and seats were peeling apart. I walked into Brake Check and was greeted by Greg. The price was way lower than NTB. The waiting area is clean, bathrooms are clean, and HGTV is on the flatscreen. The best part was the conversation with Greg, the other customers, and Staff. You can tell the staff/management care about presentation, education, and people read more

I bought the life time wheel alignment so far every time I go back they check or realign my wheels for 3 or 4 dollars. Good people pretty fast for what they do. read more

I'm a experience mechanic, who was too lazy to replace my brake pads. First, they try to up sell you on everything, rotors etc. Note: never get new rotors unless they been turned at least once before. Second, the kid started to hammer the caliber back on. I had to explain how to drop it in. Third, for having lifts and all the tools needed for the job, it still took two hours. Forth: it costed me $165 for pads/labor. PS: I watched while they up sell everyone, even people obviously afford the prices they were pushing. They even offered financing. Shame. read more

I came in to have my brakes inspected. They completely removed them parts that they said were "the problem" without consulting me first as if I was prepared to have it repaired immediately. At the time I couldn't get the repair done so I got my car towed home. Upon arrival at my residence I tried to roll up my power windows but couldn't because I couldn't get the car to start. I call back to the shop to see what happened. All I was told was "maybe the battery is dead", "if your battery was weak when you brought it in it might be dead", "maybe it died on the tow truck". I explained that my battery was not weak not dead when I brought my vehicle to them, & I didn't live far enough away for my battery to have died whether it was completely on or idling. It's a 4 minute drive. The representative that answered said it wasn't their fault. He explained that they don't provide any battery services so they had no reason to mess with the battery. But it doesn't add up. You pulled my car into the service bay without my battery giving you a problem. After which you claim the car was turned off while you performed the brake inspection (which btw wasn't supposed to include you removing parts). In your words the inspection was you raising the car up on the Jack, taking the tires off, and looking at the brake system. Then when the tow truck arrived your technicians pushed the car out of the service bay. In order to push it out you would need to turn the car on & put it in neutral. The tow truck driver left it in neutral for the 4 minute drive to my house. You're trying to tell me that it took 10 minutes off idling for my battery to die? When my car will automatically shut itself off to save battery life if idling or completely on for too long without movement. Now my engine won't start & no power is flowing thru my vehicle at all but there are dashboard lights that are lit up. They messed with my car & trying to say they didn't. Lack of accountability & overpricing will keep me from ever going back to that place (at any location)!! read more

The worst customer service in the world! The guy who works the front desk is unprofessional and rude and sits in his car with a attitude. It took them a hour just to put my tires back on. You'll know who he is cause his fat self will be doing absolutely nothing. read more

These guys were so great! They are quick, efficient, methodical and take time to explain the why behind their recommendations. I went in there for a simple oil change, and was informed I required new rack and pinions for my power steering. I had a significant leak that the GMC dealership had said was minor and required no attention. Obviously I was very upset, but Obie and his coworkers took the time to show me where the affected parts were, and even drew me a diagram to explain how the power steering on my truck worked and what would happen if I delayed repairs any longer. He also quoted a fair price significantly below what the dealership had previously quoted to my husband. They ordered the parts, and my truck was fixed the next day. I really appreciate their honesty, efficiency, and friendliness. I highly recommend them! Plus, ever fourth oil change is free! read more

I really feel like you all should know how lucky you are to have such an outstanding & amazing employee. I found myself on the side of the road due to a sudden flat tire. Randall Smith pulled over to help me & another Individual who had 2 flat tires. He got my spare tire out of my trunk & put it on for me. Outstanding individual. He made sure I was okay & that my car was taken care of. Easily one of the best individuals I've met! read more

I took my car to this brake check around a week ago. The first man I interacted with was very weird & lack of a better words super creepy. I just went for an alignment & the man was treating me like a child & asking me questions about my car as if he thought I didn't know my stuff. I made an appointment that day for 4PM & didn't get my car pulled into the shop until 5PM, finally around 6PM the kid test drove my car & completely disregarded my request for them not to go through the dip due to my car being lowered. He was gone for about 10 mins & took my car a completely different way then they normally test cars. When he got back I paid the $100 for the 3 year alignment plan & I was on my way. The car still felt as it did before the alignment so I took it back a week later. This time a guy named Leo worked on my car to tell me the issue. He proceeded to tell me my aftermarket parts were shot & how to commit INSURANCE FRAUD to get the money for the new parts. After leaving this time my car was literally WOBBLING. I took it back today & spoke to the manager about my concerns, I told him about his employee telling me to commit insurance fraud & he laughed. He refused to give my a refund & jacked my car up to show me the tires not "being even" & that was that. I went to TIRES TO YOU in killeen & they got me right the first time with no problems & super friendly staff. Brake Check in Heights is the worst place to bring your car & I will never let they lay a hand on my car again. read more

I needed a quick tire change before the shop officially opened due to a tire with a nail. The manager went the extra mile this morning to put my spare tire on for me before his technicians came in for work. I rushed off to take my son to school while he checked the tire. Upon my return to the shop, he told me the requirement (plug, patch, or new tire) and had the tire guys next door verify the requirement to get a new tire. I admire him for taking the time to change my tire out this morning. I plenty of faithful customers there during the morning - which is always a good sign. read more

Quick easy and reasonable priced especially with the coupons they sent out in the mail. I plan to go back.

Horrible experience. 1. Overcharged me. I had the lifetime Alignment deal. Went in for my brakes and an alignment. Charged me for the alignment. 2. Had an appointment for 1 pm. My car didn't leave the parking lot until almost 2 pm. Why have appointments/schedule times if they don't matter? 3. Saw them drive my car into the parking lot (signaling it was done). I waited in the lobby (was writing a research paper for school, so I didn't mind waiting). Nobody told me my car was ready. I waited until finishing my paper - 45 minutes - and then went to the counter and asked if my car was ready. Typically you let the person know. 4. OH MY GOSH. They had a cartoon playing the entire time which was R-rated. Several swear words. I'm not talking "d*mn" or "hell" but sh*t and bullsh*t and God-d*mn, bastard......constantly. There was a couple in the waiting room with a child (maybe 6 or 7 years old) who finally got sick of the language and left. How does a nationwide business play a shows that have r-rated language in their waiting area? I suppose this is the place to go if you can't afford top level service. I had my brakes fixed a month ago and they are already starting to squeak. read more

This place has gone downhill. It's overpriced and will nickel and dime you for everything. I booked online to receive the 10% discount, they forgot to include it when they rang me up. They told me they would take care of it, but when I picked up my car they told me that they couldn't add the discount since I had already paid. Don't let their friendly staff demeanor fool you. read more

I came in on Friday because my brakes were squealing and making bad noises. My brakes were in bad shape, these guys got me back on the road with new brakes. I started hearing a grinding noise the following Monday morning but could not make it back in until Tuesday found out that it was a bearing that was going out. After already putting over $1000 into the car for new parts for the car this was not what I wanted to hear. These guys (especially Josh) did everything he could to make things a little easier on me. These guys are fantastic!!! read more

Took vehicle in for inspection of front end, brakes and knocking noise. Left with only a suggestion to replace struts. Was told everything else was fine and that everything was right and tight.

BBB Complaint filed and Lawsuit initiated!!! ****Update was told by Rico that they would only refund me a little over 100$ and that I had to take the car to the BMW dealership to try and get my money back for parts...funny thing is I never paid BMW to do any work on my car he also said to wait 3-4 months before I took my car apart and bring BMW the 1,000 part back for a refund or a replacement!! SHADY SHADY SHADY LAWSUIT INITIATED !!**** I brought my BMW in to get brakes checked found out I had failed control arms had them replaced I spent 1800.00 on Oct 28 not even a month later all of the supposed new control arms and knuckle failed causing my passenger side rear suspension to buckle terrible I just spent over a 1000.00 to fix what should have been fixed October 28th I brought my car to them yesterday and showed them the broken parts they took pictures and are putting me off until Thursday and they say they put a new knuckle on my car and claim to have receipts but I've had other certified Mechanics tell me that knuckle is not a month old if you want to get robbed go here I'll go meet with them tomorrow to see if they are going to do the right thing and refund me the whole 1800 If not I'll just have to see them in court. Right before Christmas too yall should be ashamed!!! read more

Took my vehicle to get an oil change, nothing crazy, I should've known something was up when it took forever and I was the only vehicle that was getting an oil change done. After the oil change was finished I jumped in my vehicle about to drive off when I noticed the check engine light was on so I turned around and told them it was on, after watching the guy try to clear it by using google he hooked it up to the computer and said it was my mass air flow sensor and that they have nothing to do with it. So being pressed by time I had to leave, once I got home and looked everything up and going to autozone, I finally opened my hood to find that someone disconnected my mass air flow sensor, after 45 minutes of cursing and googling I finally disassembled and reassembled everything with the sensor reconnected. After going through fixing it, it's clear they went through and took it apart to disconnect it seeing how nothing was wrong before taking it to them. They told me to take it to the dealership to find out what's wrong and take it back to them so they can fix it for me, at a price I assume. read more

Went today and thought I needed a brake job--they told me my brakes needed extensive work to the tune of $500. I didn't have $500 so I thought I'd wait a bit. My daughter said let's check Firestone...my breaks have at least 10,000 more miles on them! Gives me time to save...I'd say they are crooks... read more

Worst local customer service experience... here we go... I bought a package deal for oil changes $140 for 4 ... I had 2 ... so I go back to do my third and tell them that I am not sure if I received the coupon book back last time and that I could not find it ... they look me up in the system...it says I bought the deal...it says I used 2 ... and that I have 2 left ... same VIN etc... "But so sorry without a coupon number they not able to give me an oil change" on top of it he says: " It would be like me buying a gift certificate in Target for Olive Garden and lost it now trying to eat for free" ... I am not sure how much education he has but he says he is the Corporate Director and I can call corporate just for him to get on the phone ... as the Corporate director ... to tell me the same thing???? [Grade A customer service] ... Come @ me again ... I bought a service ...you verified in your computer date...price and used portion.... now you telling me you will not honor it? WELL... We are only 26 yrs in this military community and word to mouth makes or brakes you... so dear Corporate Director Mr. Ricardo Jaquez ... No need to get on the phone with me.... between my connections on Fort Hood and local City Council, Rotary Club and the BBB ... we will make sure to mention your business oh and btw I doubt that Corporate has your back ... Numbers speak volumes ... you never know who you serving Happy Holidays to you! read more

My daughter and I came for the free brake check. Her brakes were in need of replacing. First, make an appointment, that gives you 10 percent off. Herb was very nice but wanted to do alot of work not necessary IMO. New clips to hold the brakes were over $60. Not buying that one. Also resurfacing all rotars when they were smooth and had no grooves. I liked that I was walked around my car and shown pad amount with flash light and each service had an itemized cost that I could accept or reject. Yes some things may be suggested but if you have any experience with brakes, you can see and make better choices. Glad I came here. New brakes and lifetime warranty for someone keeping a car ought to work well. read more

Terrible customer service. I orginally, had my front brake pads replaced and caliper maintenace on 14 Dec 2021. Almost imidently my brakes began to squeek. I didnt think much of it at first. I took my car into my dealer approx a month ago and was asked about my brakes. I was told at that time my master cylinder cap was missing. The tech forgot to put it back on. The dealer helped me out with a used on costing me $10.00. I should of gone back to Brake Check at the time. I made an appointment for 5:30pm on 4 April for a brake inspection. I did get there approx 5-8 mins late. As I walked in a not so happy looking, I assume manager was at the desk. I explained to him the issues. He than said "you realize we close at 6?" I stated I did and there as an opening at 5:30pm and took that one because I work in Austin. He then pulled up my account and starting stating well I gave you a discount for this and that..blah, blah. I asked him what does that have to do with my brake issue? I was then told that to make the issue go away I'd have to pay more even though my current pads and repair are under warranty. I asked him to look at my brakes and he stated he could get me in tomarrow moring. I again explained to him that I work in Austin. I was then told well you could have gone to an Austin loction. The service manager has no customer service skills. Never once did he say he was sorry or hey lets see what we can figure out. He was rude from the start and no intention of resolving my brake issues. The manager should not interact with the public or be in customer service. I have done business where before and have seen the same "manager" not handle customers well. It is obvious that the "manager" recived the position by tag your it. He lacks empathy and and training. I would love to talk to a regional manager or someone higher in the food chain. I will also be filing a complaint with the BBB. I hope that someone other than that manager reads this. For the record I told the manager I would be leaving a poor review. He really didnt care. read more

Was referred there by discount tire (their neighbor) because DT really screwed my alignment up when I had the tires rotated. My alignment was fine before. Brake check got me for $300 and made the alignment way worse. When I left there the steering wheel was way off centered with the car pulling to the left real bad! Took it back and they showed me on paper where it was aligned. They do not know what they are doing when it comes to alignments! Took to NTB and they aligned it for free. They said it was all jacked up. read more

Just left Brake Check, and my car drives great so far!!! I suggest to call for an appointment before visiting this establishment so you can be seen immediately. The staff were very professional and they do a computer check on your car which is good, so you know what needs to be fix. I also got lucky to have a coupon in the mail a few days ago which knocked off 60 dollars from my bill. They also offer oil change and the fourth one free. I highly recommend this place! read more

The service adviser, Ricardo did a good job of explaining just what I needed to be on my way. He explained the lifetime warranty, which is a plus especially considering Ford only gives a two year warranty. And they saved me over $200, based on what I paid them and what Ford wanted me to pay. I was in and out within 2 hours, with all Four rotors turned, and new shoes all around. I recommend this business to anyone needing work at a reasonable price, from people that know what they are doing. But, I am still not completely sold on them since I read some information about them using substandard break pads. One final point, this is national company, and they do not give Veteran or active duty discounts. Shame on them. 2010, F 150, 39,000 miles. (Yea Ford rotors do not hold up at all.) Next time I will get good after marker rotors that are slotted and drilled. read more

I went in for a brake check and didn't feel too comfortable with what I was being told. I didn't feel as if the manager was being completely honest when it came to pricing. I went and got another inspection and price. Figured out that I was being charged for work and parts that is normal for drum brakes, I have all disc brakes and then he kept saying a different price, went up 30 bucks before I left. The last price was close to what I ended up paying elsewhere but I had better parts put on read more

BEWARE!! I went in there to get oil changed I almost left there paying 2000.00 dollars to a miss diagnosed issue they thought my van needed head gasket job . Well thank goodness for second opinion we took our van to different establishment and found out that my van needed a new radiator a 500.00 tab . I was so re leaved that was all it needed so please be careful . We did call them back an talked to the person who helped us and let him know what a drastic mistake they had done hopefully its been taken care of.. Remember second opinions are a valid option . read more

The price was right for wheel bearing replacement, especially after the 20% online booking discount. Next time I would leave the car there and come back at the end of the day since that's a time-consuming procedure and they were pretty busy. A one-hour quoted time estimate resulted in a 9:30 am to 2:50 pm wait, a delay that was caused by excessive rust on my vehicle. Since I have a Toyota, there also was some confusion about diagnostic codes. After the work was complete, the ABS system didn't function until the codes were reset. I returned the following day. The staff were respectful even when I was angry about the code issue. They figured it out, though, and in the end the work was done for a fair price. read more

Amazing service from these guys. I called about my brakes falling off and they got my car right in and done before closing. I have had work done at this facility before and it was amazing but this time was truly spectacular.

Friendly and thorough service. My go to spot for oil changes and alignments. Have used them for years. My truck has 220,000 miles on it.

they let me in early than they opened since i was happily waiting for them to open the doors. i was in /out in a few shakes of a lamb's tail. their customer service is amazing. their employees are friendly. the prices are competitive. the free coffee was well appreciated. the location is easy to find. plenty of room to sit down and a bar to use your ultrabook and social netowkr while you get your car work done. i will revisit them again. they have my stamp of approval read more
