Christian Brothers Automotive

Great Service. I got my car inspected at a different place, it failed. I was originally going to take it to the dealer, but a friend told me about this place, and I’m so glad they did. Christian Brothers looked at the fail report, said something wasn’t right. Within 30 minutes they told me my inspection was done wrong. I asked them to redo it, because the original place wouldn’t have anyone else to do it. Within an hour of dropping my car off they called and said it was ready, and I only owed for the inspection. They could have gouged me and done a diagnostic test first, and then an inspection, but didn’t. I am very pleased.

I brought my car to get a new Terminal for my battery because it was lose. And to take out my security system. They had my car for 5 hours And gave me an estimate of 1,300.00. They told me my battery was dead my security system was damaged due to me leaving window down. Since the drivers seat was wet. They needed to dry it before taking out then they said still not sure if that will work. I said no thank how much do I owe you. They charged me almost 100. Dollars for Lies Lies Lies. They did of course do one thing right. Replace battery terminal. I called for wrecker to tow my car. They came he jumped my car the car worked. Which meant my battery was still working. The alarm system still working. The tow driver fixed my car In 5 minutes I called next morning and they just did not care. So Beware of Satan Automotive RIP. Off
The. Battery terminal. Was fixed. I gave you the car alarm, key to vehicle, I can’t believe you are trained. Professionals that don’t even know. If vehicle was flooded. The drivers window. Was opened. During. Rain. I said this to the associate. The estimate was not even. Accurate. The outcome. Why did my car start? And also my battery? Car alarm. All working.

I was helped by Keith with my state inspection. He was very very pleasant and I felt at home. They’re very fast and very efficient and most of all it’s a very clean environment unlike most Automotive facilities. I will definitely go back there for other services

Christian brothers has been my only mechanic since 2012. They always go above and beyond, and even cleaned out my very messy car to get to an evaporator core that needed to be replaced. I love them!

While this was definitely the nicest mechanic shop I’ve been to, the cleanliness/​friendliness of the staff was not enough to make up for how ripped off I felt when I left here. I paid about double the price for a job that could have been done somewhere else, but I had been there for so long I didn’t want to start over. Great place if you don’t mind overpaying.

This place seriously is the biggest scam… I came here because a church friend recommended Christian Brothers Automotive. I needed an oil change and have been tired of overpaying at the dealership so I thought I’ll give this place a shot since it was reviewed well on Unilocal.
Probably one on the worst experience I’ve had. First off, I pulled my car forward and i waited for 10 minutes and nobody attended me. Ok no big deal. went and park my car and went to the lobby and was greeted and asked if i wanted to basic oil change or the 5,000 miles oil change so i asked him what was the TOTAL price for the 5,000 and he quoted me $ 55 – 60 so i went ahead and got that since my oil change for 3,000 miles at my dealership always ends up around $ 40. Second off, it took them forever for an oil change. I was walking around westheimer seeing whats up and after an hour they haven’t called, so i went back. Lastly… this is the part that really ticked me off. When they were done, They of course told me all that BS about other services my car needs. Then they charged me $ 70… wtf. i started complaining how i was quoted only $ 55 – 60 and apparently all these other stupid charges totaled to $ 70. And i specifically asked TOTAL PRICE because this happened to be before at another car place.
Will definitely not recommend this place. This place is super unprofessional with false promises. And the guy that ‘took care’ of me was the bald caucasian guy. Forgot his name
DO NOT GO HERE

I am BLOWN AWAY! I absolutely love Christian Brothers Automotive! They are so gracious, honest and clean! I am brand new to town, and am beyond grateful to have found them. They are EXCEPTIONAL!

I hate to give two stars, but I have to. If this review was based on service alone, it would rank a 5-​star. The people here are fantastic.
The work performed however was pretty terrible. I was driving on 610 and my low tire pressure warning light came on. I stopped, filled it up, got back on the road. The light came on again. Repeated the stop-​to-​fill-​the-​tire game. This happened more than once And yes, my tire pressure in one tire was incredibly low each time I stopped, so I knew I had a leak somewhere. CBA is close to where I live, so I stopped in to have them take a look (I was pretty sure I’d need a patch job). They took the car back, then came back and told me they found no problems with any of my tires. Since I stopped so many times to check my tires and found really low air pressure, I thought this sounded kinda weird. Sure enough, I left to go home, and the low pressure light came on again within 30 seconds. I checked my tires when I got home and found a huge wood screw in my tire. They obviously didn’t even check the tires.

I took my car here to get the inspection done and got them to look into a problem my car had been having. The service was SO GREAT. The guy at the front was friendly, courteous, and explained everything that they recommended, and i didnt feel like they were trying to sell me on unnecessary services.
I trust this place. That’s worth a lot.

I first became familiar with the chain while living in Austin. They worked on my car for years there, and I was very happy with them. I was happy to find one by our house when both my beau and I needed to have our cars looked at for varying issues recently. His car needed a few repairs. It was done quickly and more importantly done right. My car’s breaks are always a pain to deal with so I have to get them checked from time to time. They always squeak even when new. So before my latest Chicago road trip, we took my car in for a check-​up. Not only was it free, but they also let me know when I would need to come back to have them replaced. They have a courtesy car too if you live and/​or work in the area and need a lift. They only thing I would change was the placement of parking when you need to just drop off your car quickly. Not that you have to walk far, but usually parking is up front for a business.

We had heard great things about CBA being friendly and offering quick service. I agree — their staff is extremely friendly and explains issues well. The service was also performed timely on my car. However, they are overpriced compared to other local shops and it took two separate times in the shop (over paying both times, in my opinion) for them to actually find and fix the issue. I decided to take my car to another shop to have remaining work done, and it was actually quicker, cheaper, and they found an issue that CBA did not find (despite them claiming to have performed a total diagnostic).
Overall — friendly staff, timely work, but severely overpriced for the service.

Excellent service as well as competitive pricing. They repaired my transmission (which was not cheap) and they offer a two year warranty along with it. Very clean shop with shuttle service. Will come again!

Wonderful! Have used them before for oil changes and brakes and when a «service engine soon» light came on-​brought the car to them. After running diagnostic testing on my car, they determined it was just wiring to the sensor that was making the light come on and nothing actually wrong. Said they could fix the wiring but that if I didn’t mind the light-​then it wasn’t pertinent to getting fixed. So refreshing to hear and they didn’t charge for our diagnostic test.

I found Christian Brothers when I bought a Groupon for Oil Changes. I got 3 Oil Changes for $ 30.00 They were kind and considered and never made me feel cheap because of the Coupon. Even when I couldn’t find the coupon when I called for my second Oil change, they had me on file. They were fast and friendly and most of all professional. They let me know when something was not right when they picked up on stuff that were not even related to oil changes, and did not try to invent things that needed fixing like some of those others I have dealt with. They actually told me to wait with a repair, because it was not yet critical and should be okay for several more month. Although I had to drive 25 miles to get there, I was glad to do it because of the way they treated me and my very old car.

I recently moved to Houston, and needed to find a place to take in my car. I tried the place across the street from my complex, and they quoted me $ 1000 to fix what needed to be fixed. I decided to go into Christian Brother’s to get an honest opinion, and that is exactly what they gave me! They quoted me $ 500 for the same amount of work, let me know exactly what was wrong with my car, what needed immediate attention, and what could wait, if necessary. They have excellent customer service! I have since gone back to Christian Brothers for all maintenance needed on my car.
