I reached out to my credit card company who also spoke with Christian brothers and they reverse the charge. Christian Brothers advertises free estimates. So don't make the mistake I made, if you know what the problem is, ask them to give you a quote you don't have to take your car over there for that estimate. I am bummed they didn't come to this conclusion before I left their shop, and that they were willing to charge me almost $200 for giving me an estimate in the first place, but I am very grateful that they decided to do the right thing... I thought you should know.

After a recent repair at this shop, my vehicle developed new problems that were not present before…read moreservice, including warning lights, steering problems, electrical system problems, HVAC noise, dashboard misalignment, and strong cabin fumes that cause throat and breathing irritation while driving. When I reported it, the shop manager canceled my follow-up appointment instead of inspecting the vehicle and declined to provide a rental or further support. I requested escalation in writing, but the shop stopped responding. I've also contacted corporate with no reply so far. I've now been without safe transportation for over three weeks due to unresolved post-repair issues. BBB complaint filed -- currently awaiting response. Update 12/29/2025: The vehicle is now completely inoperable and will not start. The dash shows "Parking Brake Unavailable" and the car was slow-cranking before dying entirely. Multiple electrical and safety warnings continue after their repair, and the car is currently disabled at my residence. I have requested written communication and escalation from the shop and corporate but have not received support or resolution.

I recently had to replace my battery. The old battery looked like it had leaked acid, and when I…read morefirst looked at it, there was much of the acidic powder buildup on the postive terminal. After cleaning up the corrosion as best I could and installing the new battery, over the next few days I had three instances of the car not starting. On Monday morning first thing I brought my car into CBA, my first experience using them. CBA is very close to my home, within a long walk, and I liked the convenience. The shop is very visible off 44 and very clean looking. I was greeted by Briana, and she was always polite, courteous, and professional. She explained that, without an appointment, it might be the next day before I could get my car back. I understand that shops get busy and that trying to fit in a customer without an appointment requires that the customer be patient. Since I am retired and I have my wife's car at my disposal, I was fine with that. That day, I received both a text and an email with my inspection report. Briana did call me in the afternoon and explained the findings. I was a little concerned that the technician initially recommended a new battery, when mine was brand new. It sounded like Briana had to tell him that the battery was brand new, and then a closer examination was done. Briana and I both agreed that the terminals would need to be cleaned up and possibly replaced due to the excessive corrosion from the leakage of the old battery. The battery would then be rechecked to make sure it was holding a charge. I had hoped that Briana might call me back that day with more information, but apparently no further work was done on the car. The next morning, at 8 am, an hour after they opened, though I had hoped for a call and update, I called and spoke to Briana. She told me she would check in with the technician and call me back, which she did about a half hour later. It turned out that after cleaning the terminals of corrosion, the positive terminal needed replacing. The battery was fine, and the car was ready for pick up. Today, the car continues to be working fine. In summary, Briana was always polite, courteous, and professional. The repair was relatively simple, after the initial inspection, and I was charged what was originally estimated, and that did not seem excessive. I was a little concerned that the technician initially jumped to the conclusion that I needed a new battery, since mine was brand new. Ultimately, the right diagnosis was reached. Since it was a simple repair, I would have appreciated not having to wait until the next day to get my car back, but busy shops sometimes have to do that, if you don't have an appointment. Overall, I was happy with CBA and Briana and plan to bring both of my cars back if I need future service.

After weeks of frustrating back-and-forth with a local Chevy dealer who was trying to source a…read morevehicle from a Chevy dealer in another state, I found myself in a really disappointing situation. Even after signing financing and essentially completing the purchase, the out of state dealer changed the trade agreement and failed to follow through, leaving our deal hanging. That's when I connected with Brandon and Sarah at Peterson Chevrolet. From the start, they were transparent, responsive, and incredibly helpful in explaining what was actually going on behind the scenes. More importantly, they stepped in and helped move things forward--working with my local dealer to reach a fair dealer trade agreement that should have been handled properly from the beginning. They took initiative where others didn't, and ultimately helped save a deal that had been in progress for weeks. What stood out most was their integrity. Peterson Chevrolet had very little to gain from this situation, yet they still advocated for a fair outcome and agreed to take in a vehicle that wasn't necessarily in high demand just to make the deal work. That level of professionalism and good faith is rare. While I didn't end up purchasing directly from them, I wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future. I'm incredibly grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend Brandon, Sarah, and the team at Peterson Chevrolet to anyone willing to make the trip to Idaho.

We chose Tolsma Auto Body based on the Yelp reviews and the initial estimate…read more We are new to the Treasure Valley. We had a parking lot mishap where a stub of concrete that was not very visible caught the front bumper of my wife's car and shredded the bottom edge of the driver's side as well as pulled that part of the bumper away from the body. Tony Tolsma is a nice man. He looked at our car and gave us an estimate for $1460. Since we had already received an estimate for about $1860 from another well reviewed auto body shop, we went with Tolsma. Ernestine is the office assistant that we communicated with for the repair. When we brought the car in, on a Tuesday, she said she thought the car would be ready by Friday. My wife called on Friday and was were told that there were issues with getting some parts, and the car would be ready on Monday. I understand that things happen. My wife called on Monday morning. Ernestine said she would have to call the parts people. She said she would call us back but didn't. My wife called again later and was told that the car would be ready by 1:30. We arrived at 1:30 and the car was parked outside, ready to go. My wife noticed that the color of the repair was not a perfect match to the rest of the car, though Tony told us that his painter was excellent at matching colors. When we went into the office, Tony told us this was because of the difference in colors on plastic vs metal. Otherwise, the repair looked good. We were shocked when the bill came to $1950, about $500 over the initial estimate. When we inquired, Tony matter-of-factly told us that he had thought the bumper part included the bottom spoiler, and he was mistaken, hence the higher cost. We thanked him, paid, and left. I knew that my wife was upset about the cost of the repair being so much more than the initial estimate, especially since we were paying out-of-pocket. I was unhappy as well. We are on a fixed income and, to us, $500 is a lot of money. I called Tony later and thanked him for being a nice man and for fixing our vehicle, but expressed my disappointment that the cost of the repair was so much more than his initial estimate. I told him that we should have been alerted to this prior to the repair so we could at least have been prepared. He thanked me for my call, acknowledged that he should have communicated better with us, and apologized, but did not offer to adjust the bill. My biggest problem with all of this is that Tony did a poor job of assessing the scope of the repair. Had we known that Tolsma was going to charge us $1950, we would have gone with the other auto body shop, which included the spoiler part in their initial estimate of $1860. If we need any auto body work in the future, we will not return to Tolsma.

I knew it was there because the day after I turned the car in, I forgot I had my money clip in the center console. So I went over there and picked it up. It was at that time I saw the bag of coins. I didn't take it out because it was just coins. I know that they say take out anything of value and personal stuff but it was just a bag of coins. But it is the principle of it. If they are willing to take....no steal this... then they are willing to take or steal something else. Who would want that kind of person working for them? It just show who they are as a person.
