    Awesome customer service and top-notch work. Shane took care of me like I was an old friend. We had one of the worst-case scenarios occur: Traveling a few hundred miles from home and we had a brake line failure-Saturday afternoon on Memorial Day weekend. Pulling in with fluid running out near the front wheel, Shane @ Brakes Plus store # 209 in Surprise AZ got us in with no appointment and had us back on the road within hours. It was easy on the wallet too. He took the time to show us the failed part, explained how & why it failed. It wasn't an easy fix with a lifted & modified monster truck, but my brake pedal is like new, and he definitely saved the weekend for us while we paid respect to our fallen heroes that weekend. We returned home safe & sound. I hope our local Brakes Plus is as good or I'll be returning to Surprise AZ for future brake needs. Thanks Shane, customer for life now .

    I told mechanic to remove device he said he couldn't due to him not knowing the reason it's there.

They replaced some hoses and told me the problem was fixed, but the car continued smoking afterward. I brought it back again, and they kept my vehicle for several days and drove it multiple times, only to tell me they "couldn't find anything wrong." Meanwhile, the original issue was still happening. At that point, I completely lost trust in this shop. Not only were they extremely expensive, but despite spending over $4,000 there, my vehicle issues only continued getting worse. The first time the vehicle stopped starting, I ended up replacing the starter myself. It started again afterward, but only lasted about a week before it stopped starting once more. That's when I finally decided to take it to the Jeep dealership for another inspection. I was then informed that the engine is now seized and I'm being quoted around $11,000 for a new engine. I'm extremely disappointed with the repeated misdiagnosis and lack of urgency regarding serious symptoms like engine shaking and exhaust smoke. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop to anyone.

    I brought my 2019 Yukon XL to Gemba Automotive expecting a clear and honest diagnosis, but left…read moreconcerned about the approach. I went in for a transmission that was shifting hard in automatic mode. After what was described as a diagnostic, Justin immediately recommended a full transmission replacement--without walking through other common, less expensive causes like control module or valve body issues. What's frustrating is that Gemba's own messaging says they focus on root-cause diagnostics, transparency, and avoiding unnecessary upsells: "We fix the root cause... No pressure. Just the truth." That wasn't my experience. I wasn't shown clear proof or given alternative options before being told I needed one of the most expensive repairs possible. After a routine oil change, I was also suddenly told I now need an oil pressure switch, which raises additional concerns - are they manufacturing problems to drive ticket value? I've since heard similar experiences from others being told they need full transmissions as well, which makes this feel less like a case-by-case diagnosis. I recommend getting a second opinion before committing to major repairs here.

However, I am very disappointed with the level of expertise and outcome of the visit. My 2014 Jeep compass has had the check engine light on for a week, steering locked up last week, and has had delayed clicking start. Justin arrived, I gave him the full history of my vehicle (no problems for 10 years) and the issues occurring the last month or so which prompted the call. He started running tests, even drove the car around to see if he could replicate what I had been experiencing. About 30 minutes into the visit he said he couldn't replicate any of the issues; that's okay, as I mentioned it only happened about 50% of the time. But he sat in my car another 20-30 minutes or so, told me he had to call his boss because he was completely stumped. Not really what you want to hear, but even I started making suggestions of what it could be so he could at least do something for me. At the end of the visit he basically just said "sorry I have no idea what's wrong, maybe replace your battery?"... the only thing he found was a sensor on my engine needed replacement, but it's totally unrelated to the other issues. I ended up having to pay $150 for literally no better idea what's wrong with my car and not feeling any safer to drive it. It was a huge waste of my time and now I'm out $150, and I still had to take it to another shop that already figured out the problem not even 24 hours later. Save yourself some money and go to a real auto shop. I understand that some technicians may be learning or lack the knowledge to dive deeper, but someone should be going with them to assist so your customers aren't left feeling robbed and confused.

    I wish I could give zero stars and I wish I had read all of these horribly negative reviews here…read moreBEFORE I took my car there. I asked my neighbors in my community through Facebook, who they would recommend. One person recommended Champs. BIG, BIG MISTAKE. Though I appreciated what was meant to be helpful advice from my neighbors, I ended up in a very bad situation of being horribly ripped off by Champs. I am now in the process of a small claims lawsuit against them. There are far too many corrupt and unethical mechanics out there but he takes the cake. I was trying my best to avoid this but it happened anyway. I dropped the ball by not bothering to read all of their horrifically negative reviews on Yelp. I was quoted $500 for the work and authorized it. When it was completed the price doubled. Nothing changed or was added to the scope of work. They refused to explain this. In addition they broke the interior console and left lots of grease on my seats and dash, which I had to clean with degreaser. When I asked that they replace the broken console, the owner laughed and said "Your car is old and things break and I'm not paying for it." Btw, My car was in pristine shape. I have no kids, no pets, I don't smoke and don't even eat in my car. In fact, I'm meticulous about keeping my car looking new. I asked him to cover the cost of replacing the console by at least taking $50 off the work. He said, " I don't give away free money." I replied, "You broke my car. " He said, "Too bad, I'm not paying for it." This man was one of the most unprofessional, rude and volatile people I've ever encountered. In fact, he made me feel like he would physically assault me even though I was treating him with respect and patience. My experience at Champs was worse than I could have ever feared. As I said, if I had only read the horrifying reviews, this wouldn't have happened to me. I wish I had chosen one of the other suggestions. I hope this helps someone else not make this same mistake. My advice: appreciate the intended help but please read the Yelp reviews beforehand. Hopefully this man will have to pay for damaging my car in a court of law. I'm 64, have cancer and don't deserve this but I now have to fight for justice. Don't end up in my shoes. Update: First and foremost, EVERYTHING he said in response is a lie. EVERY single thing. He's trying to deceive readers to save himself potential business. I find it interesting that he reveals his first name because he told me his name is Champ. Secondly, him addressing me as "Dear Sherri" is laughable. He was as rude and nasty as one can get to my face. Again, he's trying to create a false impression. Lie after lie after lie will not work with most consumers. People see through unscrupulous people like him. I wouldn't put out this much effort if he were innocent of any of what I contend. One particularly egregious lie he told is he claims my car is 23 years old. He does this to create the impression that my car is old and beat up. The truth is my car is a 2012. In actuality it's only 13 years old and WAS in pristine condition before I unfortunately chose to take it to Champs. I'm sure he will try to edit his lie but that's what screenshots are for. The bottom line here is that unethical, dishonest people like him will easily lie to cover their behaviors. Most consumers understand this reality and will heed my warnings. I don't want others to find themselves in my position.

Without indicating there was ANY cost involved whatsoever, Front Desk Guy sweetly asked "would you like us to give it a once-over?" Which, since I was at that time a regular customer, I THOUGHT that meant just give it a safety-check out of courtesy to a repeat, publicly complimentary, senior-citizen client that they maybe cared for! How wrong I was. After having it several days, they tell me that they can't fix the original problem because they "Couldn't find the part - and wouldn't install an after-market part off of Ebay" (My car is a 1999 w/ low mileage) Then the real Clinker after 3 days: They call and say, "We couldn't fix your problem, but come and get your truck and pay Christian Bro's nearly $200 bucks for a "diagnostic" that I WAS NOT INFORMED UP FRONT would cost anything at all! But also, this 'Diagnostic' informs me that my truck needs OVER $4300 DOLLARS in servicings and repairs - Including NEW BRAKES that, apparently the "Diagnostic expert" wasn't aware had been replaced by them on that very truck a few months earlier! I felt totally taken advantage of and complained to the manager, John, who gave me some "yada yada" and stated that that particular employee working the front desk was fired - However, and this is the whole point of the story - This manager of this multi-million dollar, allegedly 'Christian', gold-mine on the corner of Thunderbird & 75th Ave would NOT refund all, or any part, of this deceitful charge with a humble apology for their unscrupulous employee (note: Failure to disclose a COST right up front is a LIE ) Not only that, but Upsell #1 opened the door for MEGA-UPSELL #2 of $4,319 dollars! I STILL look back at this lengthy report with shock and awe. According to this diagnostic that I didn't ask for, there's no reason, whatsoever, my truck is still able to roll down the street. According to them, practically EVERYTHING on my vehicle is on it's last couple of miles.; Lastly, and final insult to my patronage, my age, my intelligence, nor would Christian Brothers even offer a discount or a half-off on the next visit to them. You know, a way of saying, "We still want your business". I think they saw a senior-woman and saw a dumb sucker ready to be plucked out of the stream of suckers. In that lone experience, I learned Christian Brothers is all about "Show me the $ MONEY $" They are only after the money, and customer retention is completely moot. They could care LESS if you are a returning customer. I am no longer using Christian Brothers for any auto repair needs. If anyone knows of an HONEST, caring, competent auto mechanic around Peoria/Glendale please be so kind as to DM me. I'm shopping for one. **I tried to scan & copy the actual Invoice from this incident, but for some technological mystery beyond me - I couldn't get this file search in Yelp to access where I am sure I put the two files.**
