After bringing my Trailblazer here I would feel completely comfortable making the decisions on my own. (see photos) They give a comprehensive file with pictures and additional insight to the problems, which is extremely helpful. There were a few questions I had about a couple recommended issues and Pete (who completed my inspection report) was able to clarify them with ease and honesty, so I was able to save money on not having to do that repair. It was more of a riding comfort suggestion so it wasn't a big deal since it doesn't bother me. I received a link to the reports via text and e-mail. For the estimate, you can go down the list, which included each cost, and just click "approve" if you want it done which is very convenient when you are at home. If you have questions call! Like I said above they are very easy to talk to and there was never any feel of pressure. Being pregnant during COVID is a concern but the inside was very clean including the shuttle service vehicle and I was very comfortable being there. They have a drink station there or Dunkin Donuts is next door. I also thought it was neat that they have a big picture window with bar height stools and counter that you can watch the mechanics in the shop. I don't think I've ever seen that before. After the repairs, I called around for other pricing estimates and CBA was around what others were. Some areas were less and some were slightly more. One being the fluid flushes. CBA was about $20-30 more expensive. I am a fairly frugal but I would still choose here versus saving $20 somewhere else, especially if you are getting other work done which could equal out the total price. Plus, you have the photos to prove why the repair needs to be done versus someone basically telling you to trust them.. This is now our first choice for automotive repairs. Good job Christian Brothers Auto, you exceeded my expectations.

C&J was able to get us in so we could get the diagnosis (the engine was done) and start planning our return. If you ever find yourself stranded far from home, you know how overwhelming it feels. You're in an unfamiliar town, your options are limited, and you're trying to figure out who you can trust. From the moment we talked to C & J Automotive in Aurora, we felt like we were talking to someone who genuinely cared. They delivered the bad news with honesty and kindness. It felt less like dealing with a repair shop and more like having a trusted brother or uncle helping you through a really rough day. They never made us feel pressured or taken advantage of, and they've gone above and beyond to help us coordinate everything while we're back home. The shop itself is warm and welcoming, and the seasonal decorations made me smile on an otherwise awful few days. We are incredibly grateful that this happened in a place with people like the team at C & J Automotive. If you're local or traveling through the Iron Range and need someone you can trust, this is the place to go.

I called there and asked what brand and he said NAPA. I called NAPA to see how much they were and the guy told me 58.00 a piece. I called the store and talked to some big assistant manager named Darren. One of the most arrogant people I have ever talked with. He kept asking me if I was a mechanic and I told him I've changed enough brakes that I know it isn't well over a thousand dollars. To which he replies, well if you could do them cheaper why didn't you just do them? I explained that I live over 600 miles away and hate to see a 74 year old woman be taken advantage of. Anytime you are going to get work done, call around. I found plenty of garages that would have done them for 6-700 dollars.

I took a chance after reading previous reviews and my experience was a mess... (also note that when…read moreyou sign to get your vehicle looked over there's a waiver type sentence that they will do their best to replace everything as it should be put back together) I called and scheduled an appointment for an alignment (because they are free), some grinding noise, and a misfire type feeling going on. I arrived explained again what I needed and decided to add a fluid check (had a coupon). Within 15 minutes, I realized he didn't ask me about the alignment. I found a guy in the office and told him that I wanted an alignment check, he said he'd notify the mechanic. 2 hours later, I was given the repair estimate. Two fluids were highly suggested and one fluid was okay but should be replaced soon and the CV Shaft (what they said was giving me the rumbling and misfire feeling). They hadn't done my alignment because it wasn't written down from my call and the guy didn't tell them, but they would add that on. 2 more hours later the CV shaft and fluids were replaced for about $525 (that's after two coupons, one for 20% off on the fluids and one for $50 off the total). I asked about the alignment and they had another vehicle on the rack but told me "I could come back another day, it'll only take 20 minutes." ... Ummmm what?? I asked for one three times and I was waiting there for FOUR hours AND made an appointment ahead of time to get my vehicle looked over! I couldn't believe it when he said that. As I walked outside my vehicle was being pulled up and it was still making a grinding noise. I went back inside and asked about it and they said that they couldn't find anything important causing the grinding sound and that it's fine. My car was also still doing the rumbling/ misfire feeling so I bit the bullet and brought it to a Chevy dealership. I paid $250 for the diagnostics on all of the issues and it was well worth it: 1. The grinding noise was from two backing plates that were rusted and a little warped. They just needed to be cleaned or replaced. 2. The rumbling/ misfire feeling was from two bad sparks plugs. 3. The other fluid Big O Tires suggested I replace soon was in good condition to Chevy. 4. I did a free alignment check at Steve's Auto World on Maple Grove Parkway. Everything is all taken care of now and I won't be returning to Big O Tires.
