I'm originally from Blackstone but haven't lived there in 25 years…read more I found myself in Blackstone, visiting my family, on the last day of July and realized my car's inspection would expire the next day. I took it to Rick's and upon inspection it initially looked as if I would need new brake pads. I agreed for Rick's to put new pads. Once they took my wheels off they measured and found in fact that I had a good four months left on my pads. Instead of doing what most auto shops would do Ricky called and advised me of the amount of life left on the pads! Guess who will get all of my mechanical business of any vehicle I own as long as I can help it. Ricky is what Blackstone is all about. Good, honest people who love their community. An honest days work for an honest days pay. It just doesn't get anymore ethical than that.

I found Rick's Auto Service nearby and checked out the Yelp review. I called them and explained the situation and asked if they could fit her in ASAP. They said that they would, and even recommended a local towing company to get her there. (The weather was so cold and her alternator went out, so she had no heat in her car as she waited.) They were expecting my daughter when she arrived and Janet was so helpful and friendly to her. There service and price were both amazing. The fact that they took care of my daughter and treated her so well was priceless. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

One year I brought my truck in for inspection. Lucky me, it required a $1200 steering rack to…read morepass. This year, I knew the check engine light was on and knew it was a MAF issue since I have a code reader. They didn't bother trying to clean it the "affordable" way, they just replaced it. Okay, I guess since it did get fixed Apparently, it still wouldn't pass emissions. I was told it was running rich due to debris causing an injector to remain open longer than it should. No idea which one was the culprit so all had to be replaced. I guess there are people out there who will believe that bullshit. I knew it was bullshit. I was told they sampled the fuel in the tank and it had debris. Duh. Find a fuel tank in a 2013 truck that doesn't have crap in the tank. That's what filters are for!! $500+ to drop and clean the tank and then I'm told the tank has baffles so likely wasn't fully cleaned. How convenient, eh?? I just needed to get it inspected so it was drivable. I recently had surgery on my shoulder so I wasn't able to work on it myself. I knew the tank cleaning was bullshit but figured maybe it would get it over the goal line. The final straw was being told I needed 8 new fuel injectors for a total of $1700. I was told the injectors were $193 each. I can get OEM injectors from Rock Auto for $66 each. I can get aftermarket refurbs for $37 each. Needless to say, I did NOT have the injectors replaced since the truck ran great and there was no indication whatsoever of a fuel problem. I took the truck to Champs in Creedmoor who I trust implicitly and it passed inspection as is. Apparently, Champs didn't find a $1700 injector problem. I will NEVER bring a vehicle to this shop again! I don't know if the front desk guys get commissions for repairs but it would explain a lot base on the amount of money I've spent there. I'm only sorry that I had to give them 1 star. My preference would be 0 stars. I'm not some dipshit who has never turned a wrench. I've worked on my own vehicles for 40 years. My surgery made this one impossible. I now know who I can and can't trust.

From the moment they answer the phone with "How can I serve you?", you can tell customer service is at the heart of what they do. Steve is usually the person I work with, and he has always been fantastic to deal with. The team is incredibly transparent throughout the entire process and takes the time to show videos and pictures of anything they recommend for your vehicle. What I appreciate most is that they never use pressure or scare tactics to push unnecessary repairs. They're honest, straightforward, and truly treat you like family instead of just another customer walking through the door. It's hard to find an auto shop you can fully trust these days, but Christian Brothers has absolutely earned ours.
