Really great experiences at Christian Brothers! I went there 3 years ago for a car inspection and…read morehad such a good experience that when my car needed work a few days ago, it was the only place I even considered going. Everything went great, they fixed my AC (I was worried about the cost being super high but it wasn't), changed my breaks, and did a full inspection. I mostly dealt with Aaron and he was so great - friendly, knowledgeable, communicative. And here's the best part - they saved me a ton of money. I went to Big O Tires to get an oil change a few months ago and they were having a deal to get a full car inspection to see if any work needed to be done. So BOT gave me a quote of $1,459.99 to get everything serviced on my car. I didn't get the work done. Well, my total bill at Christian Brothers was $395.15. I'm not the kind of person that knows ANYTHING about cars so I really wouldn't have known better what parts and labor and everything should cost. I'm not saying Big O Tires was trying to take advantage of me buuuuut I meeeaaan... that's a pretty big difference in price. I obviously couldn't be happier!

These guys so far have done a very good job on several repairs and regular maintenance on my 11…read moreyear old pickup. In one instance they actually fixed an issue that I didn't tell them about and they did not charge me for. Overall these guys are decently priced and have done a good job and I will continue to use them.

It was approximately 10:45 am. When we got there they would not turn the truck over to us, saying there needed to be an owner there. I asked please to text or call them to ask them to release it to me the owner, I had all the papers in my car as we just bought it. No one would ever answer as they were at lunch. There was "no one" there, even though there were lots of workers, who were authorized to release the truck to us. It was very hot and their waiting area was filthy and no seating. I did not want to even park my vehicle there and wait in the car with my AC running, but we did. We waited and waited. Finally two owners showed up and acted very annoyed that we had interrupted their walking in. Finally after much distress and frustration my son Went over got my truck which was filthy, oil all over the floorboards and greasy and dirty on the outside of my beautiful white truck. I'm a senior citizen and was treated with disrespect and rudeness. After all that, we found out they damaged the side electrical side mirror by forcing it shut since they parked my truck so close to another truck you could not have gotten out of that truck. That will cost us a lot of money to fix. I contacted a San Antonio police who did a report. Long story short DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Save yourself a lot of heartache and money. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

Bitters Road Automotive

I drive all over the huge state of TX for a living, so my car is my livelihood. About 2 years ago,…read moreI started having problems with the Auto-Stop function on my 2016 Chevy Cruze (car would die at red lights but would start right up again for a while, then it progressed to staying dead for a few minutes before restarting, then yesterday my car wouldn't start at all). In good faith and with referrals, I took my car into several auto shops: Wynn's Automotive, Ken's Texaco, Northside Chevrolet, and Freedom Chevrolet. Ken's Texaco: my car sat in the same spot for 4 days, and I'm pretty sure they never even looked at it. But they didn't charge me anything, which I appreciated. Wynn's Automotive: performed and charged almost $1k of work on my car without asking, and my car died again the day I picked it up from them (they told me to bring it back in, only to charge me again for something else completely, and I left without any solution to the problem). Freedom Chevy: there aren't enough words to articulate the laziness and lack of expertise for this dealer. Northside Chevy: same as Freedom Chevy, and equally disappointing. A trustworthy coworker suggested I take my vehicle to Joe & Rex at Bitters Road Automotive, so that's what I did yesterday. I can honestly & sincerely say that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a single female with no knowledge of car repair, I left with an understanding of why my car kept dying on the road. And I was SHOCKED when they handed me the bill, because they only charged me for a diagnostic fee....because it turns out that the issue was an easy fix (remember, y'all - I had taken my car to four different auto shops, including TWO Chevy Dealerships....and none of them could find the problem). Joe & Rex were aware that I had no knowledge of car repair, and they DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME. They could've charged me 'an arm & a leg' for completely solving my problem, and I'd have never known the difference. But they didn't do that. BITTERS ROAD AUTOMOTIVE IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!!!! AND I WILL SING THEIR PRAISES TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. Joe & Rex - from the bottom of my heart, gentlemen: THANK YOU!!!!

We pulled into Bitters Road…read moreAutomotive, Rex immediately came outside, checked everything and told us what was needed...new alternator and battery. He gave us a written estimate, did the repairs and we had the Tahoe out that afternoon!! High quality work, very quick turn-around, reasonably priced and knowledgeable mechanics.

San Antonio Auto Shop

We had a 9:00 AM appointment to have our Jeep serviced at San Antonio Auto Shop. And we showed up…read moreright on time. I waited, while the woman behind the counter chatted about guns and shooting lessons with the couple in front of me. I eventually walked out. I came back later and another woman took down the particulars. I left them the keys and the Jeep. I came back over an hour after that and the Jeep was exactly where I had parked it. Absolutely nothing had been done. I cancelled the order and drove the Jeep over to Ancira (Jeep dealer) off of I-10 West. I was instantly greeted when I walked through the door. I was introduced to a service writer in less than a minute. He went through my list of issues step by step, asking intelligent questions along the way. He was solidly professional. San Antonio Auto Shop is supposedly less expensive than taking the Jeep to the dealer. But San Antonio Auto Shop wanted $95 to read the error code for the 'Check Engine' light on the dash. Ancira quoted $69 for the same task. This is a lesson I've learned in life: you can go to a discounter. And they will often end up costing you more than buying quality from the get go. In this case, the hidden cost was wasted time while the woman behind the counter at San Antonio Auto Shop breezily chatted guns and shooting lessons. Wasted money isn't the end of the world. You can make it back, somewhere further down the line. But wasted time is gone forever. Like the martial artist Bruce Lee said, 'Nothing gives you the right to waste my time.' I will never go back to San Antonio Auto Shop. They are not the focused professionals that they need to be for my hard-earned money and irreplaceable time.

I found Triage Automotive using Yelp Projects late at night. Triage was first to reply very early…read morein the morning, which was surprising to me because I had not expected such an early or quick response. Since I knew, in general, what the issue was going to be, I explained the issue, and we made arrangements for me to being my pickup truck in for a free diagnostic. Mind you, the sun hadn't already come up yet, and Triage was open and running already. The auto shop is tucked away off Bitters Rd between several other speciality garages. The waiting area was a clean and friendly with a wide window looking into the garage where you can see the mechanics at work. There were amenities such as bags of snacks, coffee, a water cooler, and a television. They had immediate availability and were quick to confidently diagnose the exact issue showing me the problem. A quote for the part I needed, as well as the removal and replacement of said part, was written up, and the owner offered to drive me to home or work while the repair was performed. I took him up on it, and he's a great guy. Keep in mind, all of this happened before other auto shops even opened for the day! Jacob, the manager and mechanic who worked on my vehicle serviced it promptly, letting me know status periodically. Since it was a reasonably simple repair, Jacob picked me up early that afternoon to take me back to the shop and finalize the service. My pickup was repaired, and I was back on the road before any other auto shops had even answered my Yelp Projects inquiry. The shop I had previously used for service had scheduled me three days out. As someone who does mechanic work myself and relies on my vehicle, I can confidently say Triage's expertise and urgency in getting me back on the road kept my business running with minimum downtime. The price was fantastic on labor too. Very competitive. I will be recommending them in the future for sure!
