I don't usually leave reviews for oil change places, but Costa Oil north of Houston earned this…read moreone. I showed up stressed out after dealing with an oil pressure issue overnight on my Ram 1500. I got there right at 7:30 when they opened, and before I could even finish parking, a guy named Elijah comes walking straight out with a smile, like he's been waiting for me all morning. I told him what was going on, oil pressure all over the place, worried it was something serious, and he just said, "Don't worry, man. We'll take care of you." And he actually meant it. No corporate script, no fake friendliness, just a guy who clearly knows cars and actually gives a damn. He walked me through everything, what oil they use, why they use it, what filter they were putting on, even checked my air filter and fluids without once trying to upsell me like every other oil place on earth. (You know the kind, the ones who act like your transmission's about to explode if you don't buy their $79.99 "Performance Package.") Not here. Elijah showed me my air filter, topped off my coolant and wiper fluid, and didn't try to sell me anything unnecessary. In fact, he was so genuine that when he mentioned wiper blades, which I actually needed, I bought them without hesitation. That's how you know a guy's honest, when you want to spend money with him. The shop itself is small from the outside, but don't let that fool you, they've got serious equipment and even better attitudes. It's clean, organized, and clearly run by people who take pride in what they do. I'm not even from Houston (I'm up in Dallas), but after this experience, I might just start timing my oil changes for when I'm down here on business. Seriously. I was going to go to Take 5 down the street, but the reviews there read like a horror story, people claiming they didn't even change the oil, just topped it off. Dodged a bullet. Elijah, man, you crushed it. You made what's usually a chore feel like catching up with a friend who happens to be really good at cars. You deserve a raise, a trophy, and possibly your own Netflix show called "The Oil Whisperer." So yeah, if you're anywhere near Houston, skip the chain shops and go to Costa Oil. Ask for Elijah. You'll leave with fresh oil, a clean conscience, and the strange feeling that getting an oil change can actually be... enjoyable.

I ended up paying a little over $1200 for the diagnosis which also included a charge of $250 for spark plugs, $250 for radiator coolant flush and $250 for brake fluid flush. The technicians diagnosed the problem as a knock and I needed to replace the engine but with nothing to back up their diagnosis. I went to another shop and got the same diagnosis, again, with the same diagnosis and nothing to back up or guide me to the problem. Finally, I called Angel Car Medic (via Yelp) and got a very detailed diagnostic report including cylinder pressures. They pulled the spark plugs and showed me how bad they were - even after just being replaced. Long story short, the diagnosis Christian Brothers provided was correct but they charged way too much for the other services. I was so stupid to select them for this!

Not a single technician inspected my truck. Staff offered vague excuses and zero updates while servicing walk-ins ahead of me. This is blatant disrespect for customers' time. Their "Christian values" of integrity, transparency and excellence? Total hypocrisy. I walked out without letting them touch my vehicle and will NEVER return or support this business. If I could leave zero stars, I would. Save yourself the frustration--go anywhere else. No one should waste their time here.

While at the store charging my electric bike, witnessed the duo in action.

If this is how they treat someone just charging a bike, I can only imagine how well they treat their actual paying customers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So they updated to all new bolts. Nice gesture! However, they informed me of this AFTER doing it, which apparently added a significant amount of time. It's best to tell someone BEFORE you make them sit there for an extra 30 minutes, why you're making them sit there for an extra 30 minutes.

So, we thought we should be out of there in about 30 minutes. It ended up taking two hours. There were 3 employees working. Only one seemed to know what he was doing. He was underneath the car, and commented on the skid plate. He then switched places with another employee while he went to work on the car in the other bay. This employee was asking him questions about what he should be doing, which really made me nervous. No sticker with the mileage that the car should get a new oil change. I imagine it's a pretty decent value for an oil change you aren't worried about, but the experience made me feel nervous. The check engine light came on days afterwards, I know it probably just didn't get reset, but either way. My husband left a review,which was responded to, but he called, was told he would receive a call back, but it's been 3 days, and nothing.
