He has let me know when I can wait on certain service items and what should be done as soon as possible. My car is nearing the 200,000 mile mark and I intend to get it as close to 300,000 as possible. It has run great despite my ability to hit curbs, potholes, etc. I am also religious about bringing it in once I know it needs an oil change. Then of course brake masters offers their free brake check, air check, etc. I haven't needed any major repairs on my car until this past year and John has made the process easier on my budget. Besides letting me know what to take care of now and what to wait on, Brake Masters offers coupons, then John has thrown in some minuscule services such as a new air filter since mine was gross. I've never once felt pressured or uncomfortable with any communications. I've also worked comfortably onsite during most of my services. There's WiFi and coffee available as a courtesy, plus generally great movies playing. When I haven't waited on-site, I've gotten call updates/advisement about anything new, as well as prompt calling when my car is done. Then of course, I always pick it up prior to close. Anyway, completely happy with John and this Brake Masters. John has great care for his customers and is detailed about his service. (To be honest, I brought my car once about 2 years back and John wasn't here and the service wasn't as wonderful. Now I always call ahead to make sure John is working.)

After getting my car back I did some research on my service. Christian Brothers charged me $446.72 for my refrigerant alone, which would amount to $17.45 an ounce (my car took 25.6 ounces). Yet, at autozone it is $44.99 for 8oz ($5.62 an ounce). It is even cheaper at walmart, costing $35.31 for 8oz ($4.41 an ounce). I understand charging a little extra to make a profit but why is it more than triple the cost? Especially when I was charged an extra $149 for labor. If you are looking for a trustworthy place to get your vehicle fixed, I do not recommend here. Shame on Christian Brothers!

Predatory upsell at Signal Ave location: Refused single spark plug fix on my stranded 19-year-old…read moredaughter's car Review (1-star): This is a serious warning for parents, students, and anyone driving in/around Albuquerque--especially near UNM or the northeast heights area. My 19-year-old daughter was on her way from Farmington to the University of New Mexico when her check-engine light began flashing early one morning. She pulled over safely about 30 miles from campus--alone, scared, and hours from home. I called Brown's Automotive Experts and spoke with a man named Chris (at the 6401 Signal Ave NE / Far Northeast Heights location). Chris mentioned he has four daughters of his own and assured me he would "take care of her." That reassurance meant a lot in the moment. He called back with the diagnosis: one cracked spark plug causing the misfire. He then immediately recommended replacing all spark plugs plus a fuel-injection service--totaling $1,800. I asked for the price to replace just the spark plugs; he quoted $1,300. I explained we couldn't afford that and requested they replace only the one cracked plug so she could safely reach school and we could plan the rest later. Chris refused. The shop would not do a single spark-plug replacement. It was pay $1,300 for the full set or just the diagnostic fee--and they'd send her back on the road with the flashing light and misfire still active. They were ready to release a teenage driver with a known engine issue rather than perform the minimal, diagnosed repair. This felt like blatant upselling that took advantage of her vulnerability and my concern as a parent 150+ miles away. I've never posted a review this strongly, but I won't stay silent when a business exploits a young woman's roadside emergency to push unnecessary $1,300-$1,800 services. If you have college kids, teenage drivers, or travel through Albuquerque's northeast side, avoid Brown's Automotive Experts - Far Northeast Heights (6401 Signal Ave NE). Choose a shop that does honest, needed repairs without holding safety hostage.
