They were able to fit me in quickly and gave me options as to how to address the issue. The Customer service was a pleasant surprise as they were professional and knowledgeable. Not only did they not try to upsell during our conversation, they even said there would be no charge since it didn't take long at all. I would definitely recommend Atlas Automotive to my friends and family and will be using them again in the near future. Overall GREAT job experience.

The gentleman there listened to the rattle for a second and told me he knew exactly what it was. He reached into the AC slot, pulled out a dead mouse, and told me there was no charge (I paid him anyway). Dealership probably would have said I needed a new compressor and charged me $900. I highly, highly recommend West Erwin Auto Repair as both knowledgeable and honest.

Luckily I found Allan at West Erwin Automotive who removed the computer, opened the thing up, figured out the problem, repaired it and reinstalled it! He then re-primed the pump and now everything works GREAT. Less than $400 total. Alan is the last of a dying breed, a mechanic that can actually fix stuff! Most just swap parts but not Allan. I think he could fix just about anything. The shop lacks the glitz of other shops in town but have no fear these guys KNOW what they are doing. I'm glad I found this shop because I am responsible for maintenance of about 8 vehicles. My job just got a lot simpler! Thanks Allan!

https://youtu.be/KSXdwWeHJxU as (EVIDENCE)…read more FORMAL COMPLAINT AND COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF EVENTS Christian Brothers Automotive - Tyler, Texas ## CORPORATE PROMISE VS LOCAL EXPERIENCE Christian Brothers Automotive promotes a customer experience called "The Nice Difference," implying professionalism, communication, transparency, and respect. This location is independently owned and operated, meaning the responsibility to deliver that standard falls on local management. What I experienced was the opposite. --- ## ENTRY AND INITIAL INTERACTION Upon entering the Tyler location, I was not acknowledged. There was no greeting, no indication that assistance would be provided, and no basic customer engagement. I had to initiate interaction myself to be acknowledged. Phoebe, the service writer, eventually engaged and stated that I would receive updates throughout the process, including: * Text messages * Emails * Photos documenting the work This communication was never delivered. --- ## COMMUNICATION FAILURE The promised updates did not occur. What I did receive was not a valid diagnostic explanation. The communication provided: * Contained no clear diagnostic breakdown * Redirected me to call the shop * Displayed an estimate marked as "authorized," which I did not approve At this point, I had not paid for any services because I had not retrieved the vehicle and required clarification before proceeding. --- ## DIAGNOSTIC CONCERNS I asked a direct and reasonable question: "What exactly was completed during the $160 diagnostic?" I was told that multiple hours had been spent and that additional time would be required, potentially increasing the diagnostic cost to a much higher amount. I then asked why a scan tool or diagnostic computer was not used first to narrow down the issue before moving into a wiring-based diagnostic process. This is standard practice in modern diagnostics: * OBD2 scan tools * Live data monitoring * Fault code analysis * Circuit isolation prior to invasive work These questions were not answered clearly. The responses were vague, dismissive, and did not provide a technical explanation of what was actually performed. --- ## ESCALATION WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY Instead of addressing my questions or connecting me to the technician working on the vehicle, I was: * Placed on hold * Transferred to the service manager (Ryan) I was not informed this would be an escalation, nor was the situation clearly communicated to me prior to the transfer. --- ## PHONE INTERACTION - INTERRUPTION AND TONE When Ryan joined the call: * He did not establish context * He did not acknowledge the situation * He immediately adopted a condescending tone From the beginning of the call, I was repeatedly interrupted and not allowed to complete my explanations. --- ## STRUCTURED TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS (WITH INTERRUPTION IDENTIFICATION) Speaker Key: YOU = Customer RYAN = Service Manager --- INTERRUPTION #1 YOU: "She didn't even try to--" RYAN: "So either you let me explain it to you or you can voluntarily come get your vehicle." --- INTERRUPTION #2 YOU: "She didn't even try to explain it to me, sir. She did not--" RYAN: "She has tried multiple times." --- INTERRUPTION #3 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain--" RYAN: "You have not given her the chance to explain, sir." --- INTERRUPTION #4 YOU: "I'm trying to talk to you, so don't interrupt me--" RYAN: "If you want me to treat you the same, you need to not interrupt me as well." --- INTERRUPTION #5 YOU: "Okay, so what I was trying to explain to you--" RYAN: "This conversation is over." --- INTERRUPTION #6 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain at all--" RYAN: "And how many chances have you given me and my advisor--" --- INTERRUPTION #7 YOU: "Well then we will go ahead and address that she never gave me the chance--" RYAN: "Once again--" --- INTERRUPTION #8 YOU: "And you yourself keep interrupting me like you're doing right now--" RYAN: "And you're not interrupting, sir?" --- INTERRUPTION #9 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #10 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute you would be able to allow me to explain--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #11 YOU: "See you're interrupting me again--" RYAN: "I'm officially ending this conversation." --- ## INTERRUPTION SUMMARY Based on the transcript provided: * You were interrupted at least 11 times * Each interruption occurred while attempting to: * Explain lack of communication * Clarify unauthorized estimate * Understand diagnostic process At no point was a full explanation allowed to be completed. --- ## CONVERSATION TERMINATION Instead of resolving the issue: * The conversation was shut down * I was told to retrieve my vehicle * No clarification was provided --- ## REFUSAL TO ESCALATE I requested to speak with the owner. * I was told the owner was present * I was denied the opportunity to speak with him ---
