From the dealer! $3000....outraged at the price we where quoted. I'm sorry we brought any business to you.

Horrible!!! One start because I HAD TOO. We took my van here because they're always putting faith based sayings on the sign and figured if they're a Christian company they SHOULD be HONEST. HA! That was a joke!! Took the van for the AC and was quoted $3000 to fix it. Seemed outrageous so we took it to the dealer. Which is typically the more expensive route. Nope! Not at all the case! Under $1000 and what we where told is not what the issues where. BUYER BEWARE!

UPDATE: 7/27/18 Andy from Jeffrey's reached out to me the next day after my review. He was very polite and understanding! Jeffereys wants to make sure every customer leaves happy and satisfied. I wasn't happy after my visit yesterday and they definitely do check up on their clients. They're sending me a refund on part of the labor. I do appreciate Jeffrey's contracting me! REVIEW FROM: 7/26/18 I brought in my boyfriend vehicle to Jeffrey's after he read all the good reviews on google. Called in the AM and they were able to book me at 2pm. All I wanted was to change the brakes and rotors. About 30 min after, they gave me an estimate, and I was shocked to see the price. Additional things added on there... which I understand they want to let you know want you need fixed. I declined everything except the brake change and rotors and it was almost $400. Very overpriced and I was there for 2.5 hours. The photo I attached was an estimate of the things they suggested. I should of gotten a 2nd opinion else where. I don't know what normal prices are but from seeing receipts from other places I've been to I won't return.

Had a new timing belt put on my Highlander. Good work and a price point that was good as well.

Responded in a timely fashion. I probably would have used them but I already had another business…read morelined up before they got back to me.

I do not recommend Christian Brothers Automotive on Rufe Snow. We have been customers for years,…read moretrusted them with multiple vehicles, and spent thousands of dollars here. What has happened with our 2015 Ford Escape has destroyed that trust. We brought the Escape in shortly after purchasing it because the A/C was blowing hot. On July 31, at 157,258 miles, CBA diagnosed an internal A/C compressor failure. During that same inspection, they specifically marked the drive belts "Good - No action needed," radiator hoses good, and reported no engine-bay leaks requiring action. We approved the A/C repairs, but the vehicle repeatedly had to return because the A/C still was not working correctly. During one return, CBA documented an engine-coolant-overtemperature condition, low coolant, and an air pocket after cooling-system work involving bleeding/refilling. They corrected that problem at no charge. On August 20, the Escape returned again. CBA documented P0217 engine overheating, low coolant, an active leak from the reservoir bleed-hose assembly, and stress cracking throughout the coolant expansion tank. Their report stated "Unable to Test Drive - Safety Issues." Their report also states that the computer restricted A/C compressor output because of overheating and that clearing the fault temporarily restored A/C pressures while the thermal safeguards were inactive. After the cooling-system repairs, CBA found internal noise from the A/C compressor and recommended replacing it under warranty. The compressor we had already paid to have repaired therefore had to be replaced again under warranty. We also have texts from CBA acknowledging issues with their inspection process. One says "we missed his note" regarding the air-filter housing. Another says "there were some concerns missed on the inspection report" and that their foreman wanted to inspect the vehicle again. Then our Escape shut down while being driven and became completely undrivable. CBA's latest diagnosis says the belt tensioner pulley seized, generated severe heat, melted the idler pulley, snapped the drive belt, damaged the A/C compressor seal, and caused the belt to disconnect the crankshaft-position-sensor plug, preventing the engine from starting. They recommended replacing the belt, tensioner, idler pulley, harmonic balancer, alternator and A/C compressor. We were then told the belt should have been replaced because the vehicle was over 150,000 miles. But CBA inspected this vehicle at 157,258 miles and specifically documented "Drive Belts Good - No action needed." If the belt should have been replaced at 150,000 miles, why did their own technician inspect it at more than 157,000 miles and recommend no action? Their latest written report also connects the 150,000-mile recommendation to the timing belt kit and water pump, not the accessory drive belt that broke. We are not expecting a mechanic to predict every future failure. Our concern is the overall history: repeated returns, cooling-system problems, overheating, repeated A/C problems, warranty replacement, CBA acknowledging missed inspection concerns, and finally a major failure leaving the vehicle undrivable. We also have a 2001 Lincoln Navigator that returned because the A/C still wasn't working correctly and it continued shaking at idle. While CBA had it, we were informed that during a test run the starter became stuck engaged and burned out. CBA ultimately replaced the starter at no charge. At this point, we have lost confidence in this location. We want accountability, complete documentation, applicable warranties honored, and a technical explanation for how a vehicle repeatedly inspected and repaired by this location ended up undrivable shortly afterward. If CBA maintains that none of its previous repairs, workmanship, installation/reassembly, or recently replaced components contributed to what happened, we want the technical basis for that conclusion documented--not simply a statement that the current failure is our responsibility. We trusted this company and continued returning because we believed they would stand behind their work. Unfortunately, that trust is gone. If this situation is resolved appropriately, I will update this review accordingly.

(Not True and any automaker would not design a car that way.) It took only 19 bolts and remove/replace 6 clips to finish the entire job. My friend needed me to pick him up and I walked in right when he was quoting him. I saved my friend from paying $370 to change 6 sparkplugs. If you don't know about cars, do not go here. Very personable, very nice, has a great smile, with twilight eyes and is a "god fearing man", but he must be in money trouble to be charging those rates. He didn't like that I showed up, because I called him out and his personable demeanor changed fast. If you want honest, go to Car Zone (small hill and belt line in Grand Prairie) ask for Aladdin. Mention me, he knows me by the nickname "Money Man" (I don't have money, but that is what he calls me.)

I met the owner Milton the next day while at Chipotle and told me to take my Jeep in so he could look. $200 later it was fixed and I was off. He is the definition of Integrity & affordable. Milton even came to check out my landlords car that was broke...he literally drove himself over to inspect it because her car wouldn't drive. He fixed her car at her house! What incredible service! Since then I have recommended him and several friends have used him. My roomate is headed there tomorrow to get his brakes done. It's such a relief to find a reliable, honest and reasonable mechanic I can truly trust!

I went to the Valvoline Instant Oil Change on North Freeway in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Presidio…read morelocation. I have been going there for years. Normally, I pull into line, they know what they are doing, and everything goes smoothly. This time was completely different and honestly the worst service I have ever received there since they opened.As I pulled into line, the technician asked me, "What does this truck use?" I was shocked by the question. It uses oil, specifically Full Synthetic 5W-20. I then explained something they should have already known. My Ford F-250 Super Duty uses a specialty oil drain valve system. You do not remove it with a wrench like a regular oil plug. It has a cap that unscrews, then a special fitting screws onto it, and a wire mechanism opens the valve so the oil drains safely through an orange PVC hose into the oil receptacle. I specifically warned them not to put a wrench on that valve because it is a specialty plug, and if they damaged it, they would be paying to replace it. Immediately after that, another technician wanted to perform the light inspection. I told him I had already checked everything myself, but I let him proceed anyway. He checked the low beams, high beams, left and right blinkers, brake lights, and tail lights. Everything worked fine, exactly as I expected. Then he moved on to checking the tires. He kept looking around the driver's door frame trying to find the tire pressure information on my truck. He looked and looked and still could not find it. Even then, he still seemed confused. I then asked him what the actual tire pressures currently were. He told me he could not check them. I was stunned. I explained that all he needed was a tire pressure gauge, something that looks like a pen that fits on the valve stem and pops out the PSI reading. Simple. Easy. Apparently, he did not even have one. At that point, I suggested they pull up the previous service records because all my information should already be there from prior oil changes. The technician admitted he did not know how to access the records. Meanwhile, another technician was already preparing to pump oil into the truck. I literally had to yell, "Stop!" because I wanted confirmation that they were actually putting Full Synthetic oil into my engine. I demanded that he read the oil specifications out loud before pumping it in. He recited the specs back to me, but I still had to take his word for it because they would not physically show me the container or label before pumping it into my truck. Afterward, they checked the dipstick and showed me the oil level. Then came the pricing. I pulled out the Valvoline discount certificate they emailed me, valid through May 24, 2026, for either $35 off or 20% off service. They scanned it, but then I got hit with an upcharge of around $12.50 for extra oil. Here is the scam with these oil change places: they know exactly how many quarts every engine requires, yet they conveniently structure their full service to include one quart less than what many trucks actually need. My truck requires 6 quarts, but their package only includes 5 quarts, so they automatically charge extra for the additional quart. In my opinion, it is a long-running upsell tactic used by quick oil change businesses to squeeze more money out of customers. Then they handed me the service reminder sticker. I looked at it and immediately noticed something was wrong. The next oil change was listed at only 3,000 miles. I said, "That math does not add up, and that is not the specification for Full Synthetic oil." The technician then admitted that they now put 3,000-mile reminders on everything by default unless the customer specifically requests otherwise. That made absolutely no sense because Full Synthetic oil is designed for much longer intervals generally 5,000 to 7,000 miles minimum, and in many cases 8,000 to 10,000 miles depending on driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations. When I pulled out of the service bay, I stopped and asked the technician guiding vehicles out how long he had worked there. He said only a couple of months. I asked him directly if he understood the proper change intervals for Full Synthetic oil. First, he said 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Then he corrected himself and said 8,000 to 10,000 miles. I told him exactly; so why are customers getting 3,000-mile reminder stickers? He admitted that was simply their default setting now unless customers requested otherwise. I told him I had been going to that location nearly since it opened, and today was the worst service I had ever experienced there. The old crew used to service vehicles quickly, professionally, and confidently. They knew what they were doing. He then told me many of the experienced employees had quit or moved with management. I told him I remembered the old employees. I could go on with all their mistakes, this is enough.
