Christian Brothers automotive charges a $99 diagnostic fee to figure out what's wrong with your…read morecar, however, they also identify everything else that's wrong with the car, in order to try to get you to fix it at their service station. Although, I think the people are nice, they have a slight issue, knowing that if you go a mile west of them, in Central Aurora you're going to receive prices 1/3 the cost of this location. I think they would be better off, offering more reasonable prices, relative to the competition.

Now, I took my car in to see what was wrong with my engine as it sounded like it was misfiring…read moreperhaps and the hood was rumbling every now and then. I just had taken the car in not too long ago for something else mind you. They did a level 1 diagnostic to see what was wrong and see what the check engine light was for. They got back to me pretty quickly and gave me the usual list of things that need to be done, the estimate was almost 800 dollars for the diagnostic and to replace spark plugs and other repairs. Which I thought was ridiculous in the first place as I decided to do it myself and get all the parts for 1/5 of that price. Mind you the job does not take that long. Problem 1. I pick up the car and one of the mechanics actually left his wrench on the upper part of my hood. I called to ask about the diagnostic so I know what exactly I'm working with, and the person on the other line goes "oh I've been meaning to call you, on of our mechanics left a wrench in your hood". You've been meaning to ? Like you knew about it and didn't say anything just yet ? Bit odd but whatever, workers shouldn't leave there stuff in customers cars anyways but it was a human mistake I get but jeez. Problem 2. I go to check my hood, found the wrench and I just happen to see definitely something odd with my wires connected to the engine. One of them looked to be CHEWED out by an animal! Obviously, definitely, if not the main issue with my car at the moment !! Of course I cannot drive on it in this condition. Upon closer look I see little droppings from a mouse or rat or some other animal and the left over rubber pieces all over the place near the wire. Go figure. Now, they did not send me any inspection report after looking into my car and they never mentioned not one piece of detail about this issue to me until I looked for myself. Granted I probably should've known before, but the LEAST they could've done was look and mention it to me instead of quoting a price and calling it a day. Left a sour taste in my mouth. I also found what looked to be a candy wrapper near the inside area where the little critter left his mess. Looked to be from a candy bar or what have you now I'm not sure if this was from the workers or something else but I sure as hell don't sit on the hood of my car and eat candy or chocolate. Overall, it was just not a great experience this time around, I'm definitely going to be looking for a new shop, I think they definitely need to be more reasonable with their prices and labor. I hope they can be more honest and transparent about issues in the future with other people, as I felt like I was left in the dark until I looked for myself. Obviously I'm not blaming them for whatever critter came and left a mess but the whole principle of just handing me an estimate without pictures of things or even an inspection report and then leaving tools in my car and giving me a ridiculous estimate for a job that can be done myself is absurd.

I can't begin to thank Greg enough. The first time I met…read moreGreg, I also will stall at the stoplight. I couldn't keep it running when it was stopped in gear.. GREG listened to my explanation of my cars symptoms. Explain to me that the lock-up torque converter... Which wasn't supposed to be locked when you stop.. wasn't releasing when I stopped.. I told Greg I had recently my I lost my job and I was pretty much penniless. He asked me simply do you want your car repaired?? I SAID YES. GREG WENT INSIDE AND PICKED UP A 2 FT LONG PRY BAR, CAME OUT TO MY CAR OPENED MY HOOD, REACHED DOWN AND SEPARATED THE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. So he disabled the lockup torque converter from working, for now my car wouldn't die at a stoplight or stop sign.. GREG was nice enough to take the time to spend a few minutes talking to me about my car, his professional philosophy. He told me he had to go back to work and should have a nice day.. I have used Gregs Talent and Service many times since they day back in 1999. A Hard Working and skillful mechanic with many years of experience successfully running his own shop.. and professionally servicing his clientele Thanks Greg Bill

Took my vehicle in for a oxygen sensor because my engine light was on paid $500 to have the issue…read morefixed got the vehicle back and the very next day the engine light came back on took it back to Greg and the next day it was back on ended up taking it to him 4 times in total and my light is still on and I waisted $500 and 4days never again should have been a simple fix for a mechanic i would of thought..
