There is nothing Christian about the response I received from the franchise owner, Brad Copland…read more Christian Brothers Automotive Repair in Bradenton performed a faulty repair that lead to total engine failure costing close to $10,000 to repair. He had the nerve to send me a letter denying responsibility, yet offering $1,000 to "settle" the incident. Read their warranty carefully. This could happen to you. From their warranty page - "Warranty coverage will not exceed the dollar amount of the original repair." So, they cause damage costing thousands and you might be covered for a fraction of the repair cost. Or get a laughable offer to go away. Gone are the days where people have principles - do the right thing, own their mistakes, try to improve, and earn trust. https://www.cbac.com/about-us/nice-difference-warranty/limitations-and-exclusions/#~a2421f31-6eb4-41a6-9cba-a127b6ee0bf3

When I finally did get the car back, THEY BROKE IT! It completely shut down on the way back home and WOULD NOT TURN ON.

However, I could never in good conscience recommend ANYONE go here given my experience.

At this point we asked for our money back and the owner got aggressive. Additionally they screwed up our lug nuts so we can't get our tires off. So now we have to repay to do their work and fix the lug nuts/bolts they destroyed. They started out ok, but went downhill fast. A shame because at first we thought they were trustworthy.
