'Houston, we no longer have a problem!'…read more Kudos to the new & improved Service Mgr., Houston. His high, efficient customer focused energy is unparalleled. Quickly/professionally his team performed my oil chg as requested. But it didn't stop there. A first. He actually knew how to retrieve my dirty cabin filer behind my Buick Enclave glovebox. What? NEVER seen anyone do this before. Filter was almost black. Easy for me to approve replacing. He did this procedure himself so fast I was highly impressed. He also showed me on his computer screen that yes, Buick recommended synthetic oil in my 2011. Who knew?! I HIGHLY recommend Houston, Tyler, Tyler, Josue' and team. Valvoline: keep these guys happy & at this location. Your business will grow by solid word-of-mouth testimonies. They're a nice upgrade & represent the brand. Well worth the time & cost. Will be referring folks you can be sure!

They always take care of me here and is exactly why I keep coming back, if you live near Whitehouse and don't feel like making the drive to Tyler this is definitely the spot to go!

Check engine light on my Toyota came on, and I went with Christian Brothers because they could…read morepencil me in earlier than a well-regarded local competitor. By that afternoon they had diagnosed the issue with my car. Over the phone, they sent photos of the issue, and provided me with the fault codes they found, so I could look them up myself. This really inspired both confidence and trust, particularly because this was my first time here. It took forever to get the component I needed, but I do not fault the business for this, it is simply a reality of the parts shortage happening today. That was further evidenced by the business' parking lot being full of parked cars. I suspect more than a few were waiting on parts back order. I was able to pay the invoice from my phone, a big relief considering that I am away for weeks at a time. My car is now safe and sound in my garage, and works just fine. I believe I got an honest price for the services, the work was good, and most of all the process was transparent all the way through.

https://youtu.be/KSXdwWeHJxU as (EVIDENCE)…read more FORMAL COMPLAINT AND COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF EVENTS Christian Brothers Automotive - Tyler, Texas ## CORPORATE PROMISE VS LOCAL EXPERIENCE Christian Brothers Automotive promotes a customer experience called "The Nice Difference," implying professionalism, communication, transparency, and respect. This location is independently owned and operated, meaning the responsibility to deliver that standard falls on local management. What I experienced was the opposite. --- ## ENTRY AND INITIAL INTERACTION Upon entering the Tyler location, I was not acknowledged. There was no greeting, no indication that assistance would be provided, and no basic customer engagement. I had to initiate interaction myself to be acknowledged. Phoebe, the service writer, eventually engaged and stated that I would receive updates throughout the process, including: * Text messages * Emails * Photos documenting the work This communication was never delivered. --- ## COMMUNICATION FAILURE The promised updates did not occur. What I did receive was not a valid diagnostic explanation. The communication provided: * Contained no clear diagnostic breakdown * Redirected me to call the shop * Displayed an estimate marked as "authorized," which I did not approve At this point, I had not paid for any services because I had not retrieved the vehicle and required clarification before proceeding. --- ## DIAGNOSTIC CONCERNS I asked a direct and reasonable question: "What exactly was completed during the $160 diagnostic?" I was told that multiple hours had been spent and that additional time would be required, potentially increasing the diagnostic cost to a much higher amount. I then asked why a scan tool or diagnostic computer was not used first to narrow down the issue before moving into a wiring-based diagnostic process. This is standard practice in modern diagnostics: * OBD2 scan tools * Live data monitoring * Fault code analysis * Circuit isolation prior to invasive work These questions were not answered clearly. The responses were vague, dismissive, and did not provide a technical explanation of what was actually performed. --- ## ESCALATION WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY Instead of addressing my questions or connecting me to the technician working on the vehicle, I was: * Placed on hold * Transferred to the service manager (Ryan) I was not informed this would be an escalation, nor was the situation clearly communicated to me prior to the transfer. --- ## PHONE INTERACTION - INTERRUPTION AND TONE When Ryan joined the call: * He did not establish context * He did not acknowledge the situation * He immediately adopted a condescending tone From the beginning of the call, I was repeatedly interrupted and not allowed to complete my explanations. --- ## STRUCTURED TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS (WITH INTERRUPTION IDENTIFICATION) Speaker Key: YOU = Customer RYAN = Service Manager --- INTERRUPTION #1 YOU: "She didn't even try to--" RYAN: "So either you let me explain it to you or you can voluntarily come get your vehicle." --- INTERRUPTION #2 YOU: "She didn't even try to explain it to me, sir. She did not--" RYAN: "She has tried multiple times." --- INTERRUPTION #3 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain--" RYAN: "You have not given her the chance to explain, sir." --- INTERRUPTION #4 YOU: "I'm trying to talk to you, so don't interrupt me--" RYAN: "If you want me to treat you the same, you need to not interrupt me as well." --- INTERRUPTION #5 YOU: "Okay, so what I was trying to explain to you--" RYAN: "This conversation is over." --- INTERRUPTION #6 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain at all--" RYAN: "And how many chances have you given me and my advisor--" --- INTERRUPTION #7 YOU: "Well then we will go ahead and address that she never gave me the chance--" RYAN: "Once again--" --- INTERRUPTION #8 YOU: "And you yourself keep interrupting me like you're doing right now--" RYAN: "And you're not interrupting, sir?" --- INTERRUPTION #9 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #10 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute you would be able to allow me to explain--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #11 YOU: "See you're interrupting me again--" RYAN: "I'm officially ending this conversation." --- ## INTERRUPTION SUMMARY Based on the transcript provided: * You were interrupted at least 11 times * Each interruption occurred while attempting to: * Explain lack of communication * Clarify unauthorized estimate * Understand diagnostic process At no point was a full explanation allowed to be completed. --- ## CONVERSATION TERMINATION Instead of resolving the issue: * The conversation was shut down * I was told to retrieve my vehicle * No clarification was provided --- ## REFUSAL TO ESCALATE I requested to speak with the owner. * I was told the owner was present * I was denied the opportunity to speak with him ---

I told the tech that wrote my service order that I did not want any filters or other extra fluids, no other service. There was no mention of an upc-harge for the Castrol. When I returned 90 minutes later they charged me $48.13. (45% more) The lady cashier tried to tell me it took more than 5 quarts, which it does not. Then she retrieved the technician and he said I did not ask for the basic service, which was incorrect. Do not go to Kwik Kar unless you have a lot more money than they advertize. They will not treat you properly.
