I had a terrible experience at this shop. I went to Chris for a labor only brake job for rear…read morebrakes & rotors (I bought my own parts prior). I was quoted 158 for this job the day prior over the phone and I confirmed at the start of the appointment if that would be the price. My brakes were in poor shape, missing a brake pad on one side and the mechanics spent an extra 15-20 mins working on my cylinder. At the end of the job, Chris informed me that they got air on the line and would have to bleed the brakes. (I've always had my brakes bled at the end of any brake job so this is standard for me to have done whenever I get my breaks done. They told me this would be an extra 120 dollars at the end of the job. My father is a mechanic and said that price was a little high just to bleed the brakes and was very familiar with the procedure. He told me "go call your dad and ask him to send you more money." When I asked if they could take 20 bucks off and knock the price down to 100 from 120 he asked me to tell him how old I was which I thought was rude and uncalled for. I told him I was 30 and he proceeded to say "wow you look 18" and said "one day you're going to have to learn that everything in life isn't free sweetheart." When I went to his office to pay he also said I'm going to have to buy him lunch because they spent extra time working on my car than they planned. Disgusting behavior. I would not recommend this shop to any woman (or really anyone) unless you want to be taken advantage of and upsold. They ended up bleeding one brake so my car would be somewhat drivable. My interior dashboard was also scratched up when I got my car back from them.

Honestly, I should have read the reviews before placing an order for a PPI out-of-state, but Google…read moreGemini recommended it. Last time I take advice from AI... Anyway, I scheduled the PPI for the following day between 11am and 3pm, no problem. Pay in advance, once again, no problem since that's typical for these types of services. I get a call the next day around 2:30pm saying the mechanic isn't available and we would need to reschedule for the next day. Unfortunately, I had a tight timeframe that this needed to be completed by and the next day wouldn't work. I found someone local, paid about 50% more since it had to be done right away, and they sent someone out immediately. I tried to cancel with Instant Car Fix and get a refund. Matthew told me that that was fine and sent me a link to cancel. Once I finished the cancellation, I got an email confirmation saying I was being charged a 100% cancellation fee for cancelling "a job in progress", even though the promised services were never delivered. When I tried calling Matthew back, he ignored all of my calls. I ended up calling the main number and told that they would escalate it. I didn't hear anything for a few days, so I called back and was told the same thing, and also told to email their claims department directly. If this is the "professional" demeanor by which they operate, then it's no wonder they are getting completely flamed in their online reviews. My review will not change until they fix their mistake. Until then, I advise everyone looking for mechanical services to look elsewhere.

I had them do both of the used cars I bought and they lasted me forever with regular maintenance. In my experience everyone that works in this facility is honest, fair, they want to help people and they want them to be safe. This is the first and ONLY mechanic shop that I have been to as a woman where I wasn't treated like I was a dunce or less than. The employees here explain things in a way of informing you not persuading you or intimidating you with fear that if you don't complete the job something extraordinarily bad is going to happen. They give you realistic expectations on how much more you can drive until you need to really get it done which helps people that are on a budget. I think the prices are higher on average but the amount of service, attention, and thoroughness you get the price is very fair! I recommend this place to everyone I know especially women because I know how important it is to feel safe with mechanics and not like they are trying to get over on you! I've had my share of bad experiences but never with Christian Brothers! They truly exemplify the name!

final update 1. My check engine light came on when I took…read morethe car home after the repair. Took it back. Tech explained it was due to the aftermarket part being used which is why he recommended the $9995.00 converter that I declined since I didn't want a $13,000 repair bill. My husband asked if the 02 sensors could be the issue. The tech said no. They had replaced one and the rest checked out ok. I took my car to another shop the following week. Turns out there was a bad 02 sensor. I have an invoice to show that I replaced it. 2. My battery was checked off as being good and they offered to clean the terminals for a nice fee. I had that done previously by them but I declined this time. My car would not start the following week and left me stranded at work. Turns out when it was removed , the battery was swollen on one end and leaking acid which might explain why the terminals were so corroded. I have the invoice where I replaced the battery. 3. Three weeks after the repair we heard a rattle in the rear when we pressed on the brake. We thought it might be the rear stabilizer link they replaced this last visit. We are not experts so wanted to be sure. . My husband took it in this am to be checked. They tightened it up then test drove it after. I hope that was the issue. We will see. 4. I noticed that they recommended that I have a brake fluid exchange this last visit due to brake fluid being burnt and dirty. I approved that but then realized it was just done 9months/10,000 miles ago. So my husband questioned the owner about that. The owner's immediate response.- " Why did your wife approve it ?" So to answer that question. You send these recommendations via text while I'm at work. I trusted your shop to run an ethical business and not send something out for approval that you just supposedly did. Volvo says 2 years /40,000 miles interval for that. However, that's my fault for not catching a duplication of service that was supposedly done Great deflection on blaming the customer for trusting you. I guess I'm supposed to carry around every invoice while I'm working. 5. My husband mentioned this am that I went to them thinking it would cheaper ." That seemed to insult the owner. To Clarify , I just didn't expect more than the dealer. 6. Lastly. Be sure that your customer has drove out of the parking lot before you start talking about the customer in a negative manner where it can be heard and seen in your waiting room. My husband walked back in to hear and witness the facial expression of the technician he spoke to talking abut him. To the owner. You can go back and look at the invoices to see how much I've spent without complaint and the duplication of the brake service. Our car is still out of alignment pulling to the right. Look how many alignments I've paid for. I even had it aligned at a local shop since it really was pulling bad after one of yours. You have my contact information if you truly want to make things right. I know you said to send an email to explain everything. Maybe I will but will just be a duplication of this information. At this point, I regret ever stepping foot into your business. Very disappointing. Original review. / My plan was to drive my 2011 Volvo XC70 until it came time for a very costly repair and then trade since I've had it for 10 years. I took it in since the car started loosing speed when accelerating and was sluggish going up hills. The first issue found was the exhaust manifold actuators so I agreed to have that repaired along with other items. That total was $2800. After that, I was told the catalytic converter was "now clogged." The repair with the Volvo brand part estimated to be $ 9995 ( warranted ) The car is not worth $5000. I opted for the aftermarket option ( no warranty ). Price was $1800 for a total of $4800 for everything. We got a quote from the Volvo service dept and it was $6435 plus tax which would be around $3500 less The price difference over the dealer for a repair just seems questionable.
