We were able to get a same day appointment, they had the parts needed for our sprinter (which is rare), and had the job complete in just a few hours. Thankfully, they also had a garage large enough for our Sprinter (also rare in our experience). They even accommodated our whole family in their waiting room while they worked (my husband, our 7 month old baby, our 2 dogs and me). All in all, we had a great experience in an unfortunate situation. The customer service was amazing and we highly recommend services here.

I brought my RAM 1500 to this shop because the 4WD was not working. That was the entire reason I…read morebrought it in. After paying $200 for their diagnostic, I was handed a 10-page report filled with recommended repairs--but somehow it still didn't tell me why my truck wasn't going into 4WD. Now they want to charge me another $175 an hour just to continue diagnosing the 4WD system. Seriously? I brought the truck in because the 4WD wasn't working, paid $200 for a diagnosis, and left without an answer to the problem I originally brought it in for. To make matters worse, they charged me $25 for a couple gallons of gas because the fuel level was low. I understand gas costs money, but charging $25 for a couple gallons on top of everything else just adds to the feeling that they are looking for every possible way to add another charge to the bill. My experience was extremely frustrating and disappointing. It feels like Jensen Tire 2.0--nickel-and-diming customers instead of focusing on fixing the problem they came in for. I would not recommend this shop based on my experience. If you bring your vehicle here, be prepared for the possibility of paying for diagnostics, getting a long list of recommended repairs, and still not getting the original problem resolved.

I had been getting my oil changes at Jiffy Lube for the last five years simply because it was fast…read moreand familiar. That changed after I tried Christian Brothers Automotive during a grand opening when they were offering free oil changes. I liked the experience enough that I decided to give them a shot again for my next paid oil change, and that's when the difference really stood out. Jiffy Lube's main advantage is speed. You stay in your car and you are in and out quickly. But Christian Brothers wins in almost every other category. The waiting room is clean and comfortable (even have cell phone chargers), the people are genuinely friendly, and the pricing has actually been better in my experience. I also appreciate that my car is returned clean, without the greasy or rushed feeling I sometimes had before. Scheduling is easy too. Their website makes it simple to book an appointment, so even though it is not a drive through experience, it still feels efficient and well organized. If speed is the only thing you care about, Jiffy Lube works. But if you value service, cleanliness, and feeling confident about who is working on your car, Christian Brothers Automotive has earned my business going forward.

About two years ago, they replaced a battery and charged me $375. I was shocked, but had too much…read moreto deal with having just moved here, so I paid it. Fast forward to now. Their 5 year warranty battery gave out in less than two years. I got a new one for $129 at Walmart. CB didn't seem to want to deal with the warranty, telling me on the phone they need to check the vehicle to see why my car was draining the battery before any talk about a refund or partial refund. The battery had side posts. CB used old stripped posts that caused my battery to only have a weak connection at best. The result. My car got stranded just off a freeway ramp. I had to wait two hours for AAA to get there and tow me to a place that discovered the issue right away and replaced the battery posts with new ones. Now it runs perfectly, no thanks to UnChristian Brothers. Needless to say. They lost a customer.

Asked about schedule issues and if they can confidently do this job. Then was replied with: "no no scheduled issues sir , the car is in line with the space of it still being occupied by the car itself it was just one of those days unfortunetly and we couldnt start on it today , the work time is still the same im just backed up by 1 day sir , i apologize for this inconvinience and since we dont open sundays , the best bet will be to finish it by monday" Told specifically not to start it or drive it due to timing being off and creating additional damage. But that was disregarded and started any way. Highly unprofessional place and strongly don't recommend bringing your car here if you love or care for your car. I have been lied to and disrespected. This can be you as well. If anyone has doubts or questions, I have everything documented

Shortly after getting my car back, my engine was completely blown. My car did NOT have this issue before bringing it in, and now I'm left dealing with a major, expensive problem right after their service. The lack of transparency, the long wait, and the condition my car was returned in is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable or honest service. Thanks for nothing!

I called my roadside assistance and got the spare put in, then drove to the nearby Jensen to see how they could help (and how promptly). They were able to help me immediately at 1:30pm on a Thursday and the job was done fairly quickly (30-40 mins) for which I sat in their waiting room and watched cable tv (the luxury of being the only customer waiting around). The customer center is clean, well lit, and doesn't smell like a car shop. It was a good experience and I would recommend them to others in need of a patch job or tire change.

I'd also avoid calling them dishonest or saying they "ripped you off"; describing exactly what happened lets readers reach their own conclusion. Here's a firm but fair version: I really wanted to have a positive experience with this shop. The communication was great, and everyone I dealt with seemed very genuine. In fact, a friend in the industry described them to me as "not the cheapest, but fair and not crooks." Unfortunately, my experience with their pricing left me extremely disappointed. I was charged approximately $3,100 to replace one headlight, including labor. I questioned the cost of the part at the time and was told that was simply what it cost. However, when I submitted the claim to my insurance company, they actually called me to confirm that I had only had one headlight replaced because the cost of the part was roughly double what they expected. My claims adjuster then contacted the shop directly and was told that there was a 128% markup on the part. The shop would not adjust the price, and as a result, my insurance company would not reimburse me for the full amount. I understand that businesses need to mark up parts and make a profit, and I don't expect any shop to be the cheapest. But a 128% markup on such an expensive part, especially after I specifically questioned the price and was simply told that was what the part cost, does not feel fair to me. We live in a small community, and I believe we should be able to trust and support our local businesses. I appreciated the communication and professionalism I received, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Based on the pricing and the way this situation was handled, I cannot recommend this shop and would strongly encourage others to compare parts pricing and ask specifically about markup before authorizing expensive repairs.
