I have been getting all my automotive work at this Brakes Plus for several years and always a great experience with the service requested. Today I had my oil pan gasket replaced. They were able to get it done by midday. Tim did a great job of communicating during the process of diagnosis, getting the parts and repair. Pro tip: Check the website for coupons. Great value! Thank you! Highly recommended! read more

I took my 2018 Honda CRV in for an assessment after feeling some pulsing when I stepped on the brakes. It was very easy to schedule a same day appointment online. They were personable, professional and welcoming when I walked through the door and explained how the process would work. The pricing was very reasonable. After the initial assessment and explaining my options. I went next door and ate while they worked on my car. One hour later, everything was complete. I was so satisfied with their service, I tried to leave a tip which was refused. They were great! I would definitely return for other services. My brakes feel like they did when I first purchased my car. read more

We have been coming to this Brakes Plus for about 5 years now. They always get us in pretty quickly , they are always super informative and helpful even when it's not the best news. I appreciate the options they provide and the men that answer are always nice and don't talk to me like I'm dumb or mansplain anything which I appreciate. I have also have sent their recommendations/diagnostic report to a relative out of state who is a mechanic that we trust to make sure we are not being up charged or taken advantage of & he always agrees with what they recommend! They are very reasonable and they also do a great job with our vehicles. read more

I had a great experience with Cameron Adams, he is a very knowledgeable guy that genuinely helps you with your issues. Not to mention he is super fast and efficient. This was my first time here and I would recommend him to anyone coming in. read more

Cameron and the team at Brakes Plus were literally lifesavers for me today! I was having the worst week but thanks to the guys at the location on Warner Rd blessed me with new brakes & kindness. I am so thankful and appreciative. 10/10 recommend!!!! read more

The man I spoke to on the phone (Michael?) was very kind and fit me in very quickly. I was experiencing a squeaking and scraping sound when I hit my brakes so I figured I just needed my brake pads and rotors replaced. When I arrived, the man at the front desk was incredibly rude, cut my off multiple times while I was speaking, and overall treated me like I was I stupid or what I was saying held no value. Very unprofessional. They pulled my car around and the man I spoke to on the phone came out and gave me a basic run down, said they were going to inspect everything, etc. The told me it would take about 45 mins for the inspection. I decided to walk around the shopping center and got some boba and food. While I was eating my sushi, I got a call from Brakes Plus. They explained that there was a problem with removing my wheels, and wanted to charge me approx. $6 for every lug nut they needed to replace, adding up to about $75 extra. I immediately called bullcrap. I called a friend of mine to confirm they were ripping me off and he did. I walked back over and asked to see the lug nuts. They of course got all nervous as I walked back to my vehicle, which was suspended in the air with three wheels already off of it. They told me my key (locking lugnuts) was not working and they were unable to remove the last wheel, nor were they able to put my original nuts back on. I, of course, told them that I do not feel comfortable with them continuing to work on my vehicle, and that I would like to leave. I told them I felt discriminated against due to my gender and would rather take my business elsewhere. They said "Okay" and apologized, but still tried to sell me the lug nuts. After negotiating with another team member (who was actually nice) he agreed to comp the charge for the lug nuts. Now, you may be asking, "Why would she not pay for them?" Well, that's because they stripped my key AND my lugnuts rendering them unusable, and then tried to make ME pay for their mistake. I drive away feeling happy that I stood up for myself. Only, I hear a loud click and banging sound when I'm turning into a shopping center around 3 minutes down Warner. I immediately park and look into the street, and notice a bolt of some kind. I pick it up and lo and behold, it was my freaking caliper bolt. I assume they tried to remove them because my wheel wasn't coming off and they forgot to tighten it back. I am forced to return to said horror house and have them tighten it back. They told me what the problem was, and I was correct! Yay! They did not charge me for fixing it, but DID once again try to blame me for the problem, saying it was probably already loose when I came in (yeah right). These people are DEFINITELY predatory towards people who they believe know nothing about cars. Avoid at all costs, especially if you're a woman. This all took place a couple of months ago. Enjoy the photo of my caliper bolt below I'm just happy the bolt didn't fly off when I was turning on Arizona, that could've ended very poorly. read more

I was told it would take an hour and a half. Also I had a reservation. It's been 3.5 hours and they are still not done they keep telling me it will only be another 20 minutes. 40 minutes later I am still waiting. read more

Scam don't schedule with these people called to schedule an appointment spoke to mike informed him I was scheduling based on their advertising prices. When I scheduled the appointment, I gave them the year make and model of my vehicle. Once we got to the store and waited an hour and a half then told the price was going to be significantly more than advertised. I asked to speak to a manager and was told would be available for a few weeks. Due to him being on vacation. sounds very suspicious to me. save your money and go somewhere else. read more

So I already left a review when I picked my truck up and I feel I need to write an additional review. I bought this Dodge 1500 SST for 1000$ at a salvage yard aboot 6 months ago , after a few weekends in vari junk yards the truck has seats, ,power windows and runs amazing. last week on my way home(I commute to phx from Gilbert every day in it) getting off the freeway my brake pedal went to the floor!! I was able to limp it home coasting into most stop lights tha goodness. I called Big O and was quoted 1200$ for replaci my rear brake cylinders and pads n drums. I called brakes plus next and got quoted 426$! They took great care of me and I am confident if you ask for Tyler he will treat you the same. Paul Andersen read more

Best Customer service I've ever had. I just want to give a special things to Nick. he helped me learn a few things while I was there. And I really appreciate it. If anyone wants the best service go ahead and stop by this brakes plus. read more

My rating is based on the upfront service. They were pleasant, told me I could wait for the estimate about 30 minutes, maybe an hour. I said I'd leave the vehicle and the nice guy said he'd call me back "in an hour or so". 3-1/2 hours later no call so I went back and the car hadn't been moved. When I said what happened to an hour and a call back estimate, he didn't have much of an answer. Can't speak to their work but in my experience, when a company doesn't honor their initial commitment, their work and quality isn't any different. I'll take the vehicle somewhere else. To give them a positive, they were friendly, just feel a good business will communicate and do what they say they are going to. read more

Our family car went totally metal to metal after years of misuse. I found this place online as the closest brake place, and they took appointments. They were able to do same day service and had all the parts there. Genial employees that added a human element and prices were reasonable for rhe extensive service! read more

I had an oil change that I scheduled online the same day. They were right on time, and showed me the air filter, which was very dirty. It was an easy decision for me to make to replace the filter. I am always impressed by the quality of work and service, and I do feel like I am getting a good value for my money. This is my go-to place! read more

The customer service here is so great! Nick was kind enough to fit me in on a Friday last minute had my car in and out in an hour and I was able to get a great deal. It's so nice being able to trust and feel good about where you take your car to be worked on 10/10 read more

Has more problems after getting repaired. With my hybrid I went in for minor issues, (I mentioned I got it checked elsewhere and it needs new serpentine belt) but they said I needed a lot done for my brakes and new front arm control. Expensive but I did it. Month later, battery and ac problem... sure enough I needed serpentine belt replaced with tensioner. Ok did it. But they warned me it's probably going to have more problems but they don't know because they don't have experience with hybrids. (Could have told me to begin with, I would have gone elsewhere!!) Now a week later, car stalls on the road, over heats, brakes squeak, smoke under the hood, but I'm not going back. read more

We have taken both my husband and my car there for over 10 years and they have always been helpful and fair. Today I took it in as a piece under my car behind the bumper was hanging down, they checked it out and put a few fasteners back in and didn't even charge me for the labor.... As they always check things out and give a free estimate before any work. Really appreciate how fair and nice they are. read more

Just wanted everyone to know that I emailed the email Brakes Plus left in this comment twice so they could attempt to rectify the situation. Still no response a week later. Terrible company. Do not take your car here. read more

Knowledgeable team friendly, explain everything reasonable priced been here 3 times haven't had a bad experience

WHAT A SURPRISE! i went here for the first time wondering if the reviews i read were right on. i made an appt on line. Nick called me back right away to confirm. i asked if they could move it up and they were able to accommodate me 2 hours earlier. Nick was friendly and amazing from the start, on the phone and in person when i arrived...James inspected my brakes. He said they were still in great shape, even though i had been hearing something strange... he even explained to me what he was looking at and assured me they were still in good shape... i've had some bad experiences before with estimates, but i'm sold on these guys. i walked out without paying a cent. I did meet some very good and kind gentleman. I'll be back !! thanks Nick and James read more

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM! BEWARE IF YOU'RE A FEMALE!!!!! My family has been going to Brakes Plus on Cooper & Warner for YEARS. I went in for an oil change and they called to tell me my brakes were no good. They told me that they would call me back with an estimate, which was $414. I called back 20 minutes later to tell them to stop as I talked to 2 different mechanics and said I was getting screwed. When I called back, and asked him to stop, he said they already started and left an awkward silence. Not knowing anything about cars, I said if they can't stop there's nothing I can do. When I got to the shop I talked to the GM. He was very nice until he knew that it was me coming for the car. He immediately started speaking down to me, telling me how an angry man called and started cussing him out. I asked him if I have a choice and what I should do when I say to stop. He said that I ALWAYS have a choice to say stop. So when I told him I asked him to stop, he told me I didn't. I informed him that I did and he said that they were already in the process of cutting the rotor so there they couldn't stop and put it back together. The mechanics I talked to, said that I was being screwed because I'm a female. My mother in law called the store to see who the manager was and the person said he was the service manager. She asked who the general manager was, and he told her Sean. She then asked who his boss is, and asked for the managers name and phone number. She was put on hold and Sean came on and asked how to help her. She said she would wait for Dan (the service manager). Dan came back on and wouldn't give her the number. He said everything could be found online. I also asked for the brake pads so my husbands mechanic can look at them because on the phone I was told that the brake pads were at 3mm but when I got in, suddenly there were at 2mm and it was dire. The GM also said that he doesn't know how I would find anywhere that would charge less for brakes. I feel that as a lady, I was being spoke down to while in the store. My sister in law was there with me and she felt the same way. She didn't like the way I was being spoken too. When my husband called the store to talk to him, the GM caught an attitude with him so things got heated and instead of trying to talk to him, he hung up on him. I don't think that's very professional of a GM. I, 100% think that I got screwed because I am a female. The mechanic I normally go to wasn't open, and as I'm going on a last minute road trip, it needed to be done today. I learned my lesson and will NEVER take my car there again. (Brakes Plus on Cooper & Warner). If you are a female and know nothing about cars, do not come here! I would recommend going to Jaime @ New Dimensions on Recker and McDowell. I know when I go there, I won't be screwed. read more

Went in for an oil change today and didn't really have any issues. I drive for Uber and my car usually needs an oil change about every 1-2 months and I felt their price for fully synthetic oil was reasonable. Previously, I have brought it to Jiffy Lube who wants around $80 for full synthetic and Just Brakes (now Pep Boys) who wants like $75. Brakes Plus charges $55.99 but they have a $7 off coupon on their website, bringing it down to $48.99 plus some extra fees, which are typical. When they began to work on my car, I received a phone call stating that the brake reservoir was low and they recommended a flush of the system...for $49.99. I felt that was reasonable so I told them to go ahead with it. They also stated that I needed new struts and shocks and that these should be replaced every 50,000 miles. Ummmm....really? That didn't sound right to me. Again, I bring this car in every month to 2 months and have never heard a repair shop tell me that. They also wanted like over $600 to do this plus $67 for an alignment. I told them no...but i didn't get upset because they're just doing their job. I don't understand why people get so upset when they try to recommend services...if you don't want the service, just say no. I don't think they're trying to scam people or anything like that. For the most part everything was good...except the repair people got a considerable amount of dirt inside my vehicle...this is a problem amongst a lot of places. The interior of my car is an awful beige color and it shows every speck of dirt (time to get seat covers) and being a ride share driver, I try keep the thing immaculate. I spent about an hour at the carwash in the hot hot heat cleaning the dang thing. Also, this location doesn't offer any sort of discount for ride share drivers, wish they did. read more

The communication at this location is basically nonexistent. I showed up for my appointment at 2 for a brake pad replacement. I made it clear I would be waiting here while the repairs happened. Not once did anyone offer a time estimate. After 3 hours of waiting, I asked if my car would be done by the time they closed today and they assured me it would be. Only after telling me the initial brake pads they were trying to use weren't for the correct trim of my car. If they would have asked when I gave the rest of my information this situation probably could have been avoided. If I was informed that it was going to take that long, I would have made other arrangements so I didn't spend my entire afternoon in the waiting room. All in all I wouldn't return to this location nor would I recommend it to anyone. read more

This was my first time using Brakes Plus. I was extremely satisfied! Between yesterday and today I ended up speaking with four different employees at the store all were very professional, knowledgeable and patient. I felt like the price was extremely reasonable and when I got my car the work had been performed perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to send my son in to the store nor recommend it to any of my friends. I will definitely be back for future needs! I sincerely felt they were trustworthy and honest. read more

I spoke with James who was very knowledgeable and professional. They helped me understand why my car was running poorly and after a short wait they had my car back running better than ever! These guys are awesome and the service was great! Thank you guys! read more

I like this location because very close to my house.I remember when I went to the shop checking my brake. After they carefully checked and told me your brake still in good sharp! they are very nice! Especially the store manager James always smiling to his customers and make sure all the customers get good take care from that store. so far they did my oil change and I like that store and I will be back do oth service. thanks for taking care of me! read more

Took my jeep in because I thought I was leaking brake fluid. They were able to fit me in on a booked out day, turns out my brakes were fine and they diagnosed it as being my differential overflowing from being over filled. Great customer service and great techs, I'll be back for anything brake related from now on! Great group of guys. read more

I will be going to my neighborhood brakes plus for now own. John was very nice and professional. I had to have a couple of brake pads replaced and an oil change. It was done in a timely manner. I was freaking out in my head about the price but when I got the call with the total, I was relieved that it didn't just me an arm and leg. I suggest this place to all. read more

Buyer beware!!! They're known to wreck cars with no recourse. Even after speaking with management and the DM, nothing was done. They do not care about the customers and do not care about the cars they are servicing. read more

This place is soooooo wrong!!! They recommend changing strouts something related to that @ little over $900 & not knowing what it is or how much, I just assumed it need to be done because it was making little squeeky noise. The staff & manager was super friendly for a car shop...lol Few days later, I still felt there's something wrong. I took it yo my usual go to shop & the owner was very upset I replaced brand name strout for piece of junk & paid over $900 when it should have been roughly $380 with labor & all. The owner looked at it & replaced some things & adjust whatever then called to let me know what he did. I was very happy he was able to fix the problem & not charged me for his work & time. Thank you "The Kar Shop" for your honesty!!! read more

I'd give 10/5 if I could. They are friendly, and most importantly honest. Usually when I get my car fixed I have to worry about what they'll "find" , not at Brakes Plus. They also called me back within 30 minutes of me dropping my car off which is phenomenal and unheard of. I recommend this place to anyone, and certainly will be back whenever I need any kind of work. Keep up the good work guys! read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews, but the customer service I just received was so horrible I decided to leave one. I spoke with Mike on the phone and asked for a ballpark price to compare with other companies. He told me he couldn't, so I gave him my car make and model. He said he'd have to "verify" that when I got there, as if I don't know what car I drive...? And still refused to give be an estimate on the price. Mike then hung up on me, while I was in the middle of saying no thank you for bringing my car in today. If you're a female, the reviews are accurate- avoid this place. read more

I have always had good service with brakes plus from Arizona to Colorado and felt that they were trustworthy until now. The business in San Tan Valley has totally changed that for me. I took my expedition in on the on the 8th of August for a brake problem of which I explained that the pedal was kicking back and it was affecting stopping power. They called me the next day and said it was ready to go and the problem was the speed sensors. I drove the 8 miles home with no problem, parked it went to work the next day. It is 9 miles to my and I made it safely. When I left work to start my route i thought things were fine till I came to the first stop sign. When I started applying the brakes the pedal kicked back up and then nothing. I had to swerve to over the curb to avoid hitting the car at the intersection. I the vehicle towed back to the San Shop where they had it for two days. When the shop manager called and said they had road tested it and couldn't find anything wrong I said okay and picked it up. On the 8 mile drive home at each of the intersections (2) the pedal again kicked back and when I stopped at the house it also pulled to the right and the grinding noise was louder. They want me take it back and test drive it with one of the techs. Does that mean they didn't test drive or just don't know how. I am out $537 for a brake repair that wasn't done correctly and a vehicle that I can't use until I take it somewhere else to have it repaired right. So if if you plan on taking your vehicle to Brakes Plus in San Tan Valley, Az, consider this a warning and go to a different shop. read more

I took my car in to be checked since it sounded like metal was rubbing against metal. When I initially got a quote, they said I needed to have all 4 rotors and brake pads replace and quoted me $750. When I told them no, they reduced it down to $557 dollars since they would add a coupon. I told them another place quoted me $420 and the guy said he would match it. I told him I felt it was really sketchy that he all of a sudden was able to reduce the price by $330. He explained that he was able to reduce the price since he was offering me the basic package. I still told him no and brought it to my brother-in-law to check it since he's a mechanic. My brother-in-law confirmed I just needed one rotor replaced (not four) and my rear brake pads replaced (not all four). My brother in law was able to complete it all for less than half of what they were trying to charge me. Please confirm the work they're doing on your vehicle actually needs to be completed or they'll probably try to screw you over too. I'll never go to Brake Plus in Gilbert, AZ (Cooper Rd & Warner Rd location) ever again. read more

Got an oil change for the first time there, I get my truck back and there was a good size scratch on the hood. Spoke to the manager and all he kept saying it wasn't their fault. I advised him I did not have ANY scratches on my truck. When I ask the manager to take some responsibility he replies back that he can look through the camera but might take 2-3 weeks to get to. Very unprofessional, rude. Definitely will not be taking my truck there again. Advised him no wonder you guys have such poor reviews, manager laughs and walks back in the store. Way to not take ownership!!! read more

Dear Brakes Plus, Here's where you should be cleaning up your yelp reviews. I was VERY hesitant to bring my car here, but I remembered that I brought it in once before and you were honest about my brakes. SO----despite all the bad reviews I had great service here. Again they were honest with me, told me just the front brake pads needed to be changed, the back ones still had 20,000 + to go yet..........they easily could of told me they both needed to be changed and hardware etc, but they didn't. Brakes and oil change and done on a busy Saturday afternoon...........AWESOME. I have no complaints about Brakes plus, I've had nothing but good service and honesty here. read more

I brought my Isuzu Rodeo into this location of Brakes Plus during the first week of January 2010 because I received a coupon in the mail and had heard the radio commercials. Everything started off great. I was greeted by a nice guy named Kenny. I explained to him that I heard some squeaking and minor grinding when I slowed and asked him to check my brakes. I told him that I had just had one set replaced within the previous 6 months by Big-O but couldn't recall which set. I left the car and went to the movies with my wife. About 2 hours later Kenny called and told me that I needed to replace front and back brakes and that my shocks where shot and needed to be replaced. By this time I had already run home (prior to the movie) and checked my Big-O receipt to see which set had been replaced. It was the front brakes, in June 2009. So when he told me both needed to be replaced I again told him they had just been replaced within the past 6 months. He said the pads were completely cracked and that he was authorized by his manager to do a core trade-in which would save me $20-30 if I wanted to just avoiding having to deal with Big-O and have Brakes Plus replace the brakes. At this point I had no reason to distrust Kenny so I was completely livid with Big-O. I chose not to replace the front brakes because I wanted to take the car back to Big-O, slam my keys on the counter and yell WTF!! I did choose to have the back brakes replaced but passed on the shocks because it wasnt in the budget. Brakes Plus finished with the car at nearly 5pm (I dropped it off at 10am) and I drove straight to Big-O. After a brief unpleasant exchange with the store manager they pulled my Rodeo into the shop immediately and with me standing right there pulled the wheels off and extracted the brake pads. Nothing. The brake pads were in great shape. No cracks, no unusual wear. Nothing. I was so embarrassed I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. At that point I asked them to inspect my shocks. They were fine. Told me I probably had another 10-15K miles left on them. Argg! Did I really even need back brakes? I have no idea. Either way, this is a customers greatest fear when their car needs work, being taken advantage of by the mechanic. The behavior is unethical and unprofessional. I'm still trying to decide whether I should contact the Better Business Bureau or not. If you need brakes, take your car any place else but Brakes Plus. read more
