    Short Version: Chris and his crew are incredible. Chris went above and beyond the call of duty to…read morehelp me when I was in a predicament and needed an urgent repair. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Their pricing is fair and affordable. Long Version: If you have a minute to stick around, let me tell you my story so you will know how awesome this place is..... Roughly four weeks ago, on December 15, 2023, I drove from NC to Murfreesboro to spend a couple of days with family in the area. I was supposed to have a really quick turnaround. During my drive to Murfreesboro, I had a light turn on in my BMW X3 regarding my coolant. I arrived in town Friday evening and the following morning, I took my vehicle to BMW of Nashville to have the coolant checked/refilled. While my vehicle was at the dealer, they identified a leak and completed further diagnosis to determine the radiator hose needed a replacement - this was the primary radiator hose on top. The quote provided to me by the dealership to complete the repair was egregious compared to the average cost for this repair. The cost was FOUR TIMES the average cost of replacing a radiator hose. I immediately began exploring other options which is where Chris comes into play. I called ATL Total Car Care and explained my situation and the needed repair. We talked through it and Chris was willing to help me and take my car in, the same day, to assist. Chris did not have the hose that I needed in stock but said if I could purchase the part directly from the dealer, he would still handle the repair. So, with Chris' idea, I was able to pick up my car from the dealer, purchase the necessary hose directly from the parts department, and then headed to Chris' way! They close around 2 pm on Saturday from what I recall. Chris took my car in around 12:30 that afternoon - he and his team stayed past closing time to complete the repair. The team waited for me to come and pick up the vehicle and close out afterward. Outstanding service. Affordable pricing. Good People.

    ****NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE**** Summary (if you don't want to…read moreread the full story): My car came back with TWO NEW ISSUES after I spent over $3,000 with this shop, and the ORIGINAL ISSUE was never resolved. When I brought it back, they refused to fix any of it unless I paid even more money -- for problems that appeared immediately after I picked up my vehicle from them. The Diagnostic: I brought my car in because of a loud noise that happened at certain speeds. They said they'd need to run a full diagnostic to identify it, which seemed reasonable, so I left the car with them. Two days later, they called with their findings: my REAR DIFFERENTIAL was bad and needed to be fully replaced. They also gave me a list of "maintenance suggestions" and separately flagged that my FLEX EXHAUST PIPE was broken and needed replacing too. The total estimate with everything included came to $3,742.68. The Repair Decision: I declined all of the maintenance suggestions and authorized only two repairs: FLEX EXHAUST PIPE replacement -- $305.09 REAR DIFFERENTIAL replacement -- $2,484.38 That came out to roughly $3,000 after tax. Picking Up the Car: New Problems, Immediately When I arrived to pick up the car, it was parked out front. The moment I started it, there was a NEW NOISE -- loud, consistent, and awful metal on metal clicking noise for about 20 seconds. I was concerned, but told myself it might just be the new parts settling in. Driving away, I quickly realized: The ORIGINAL NOISE I brought the car in for was still there. There was now an insane NEW EXHAUST SMELL inside the cabin (that now happens every time I start the car). So: two brand-new issues, and the original problem still unresolved -- after paying over $3,000. I gave it a few more days, hoping it would resolve on its own as the parts settled in. It didn't. The new noise, the new smell, and the original noise were all still there. Follow-Up Visit with David: I called the shop, and CHRIS (the owner) told me to bring the car back in for a diagnostic. When I arrived, DAVID (the senior advisor) was the one who met with me. I explained what Chris had told me and described both the new noise and the fact that the original issue was never fixed -- despite having just spent $3,000. I showed David a video of the new startup noise and told him about the new exhaust smell. He offered a few guesses as to the cause, including that it might be related to the FLEX EXHAUST PIPE they had just replaced. We went on a test drive together, and David immediately said, "I hear the noise" -- referring to the original noise that the $2,400+ REAR DIFFERENTIAL replacement was supposed to have fixed. He asked me to drop the car off the following Monday, since I couldn't leave it that day. Second Drop-Off: Still No Resolution I dropped the car off Monday. The next day, David called and told me: They could not replicate the new startup noise. The new smell was likely caused by an exhaust leak from the FLEX EXHAUST PIPE -- the part they had replaced. They didn't know what was causing the original noise issue while driving, and suggested I take it to Discount Tire to have them look into something tire-related. Despite the fact that the ~$2,400 REAR DIFFERENTIAL replacement was supposed to fix that exact issue. At this point, I was furious. I asked David directly if they could just fix these problems, since I'd already spent over $3,000 and was left with the original issue plus two new ones that didn't exist before they touched my car. His answer: they didn't know what was causing the original noise, and diagnosing the new startup noise would take about 4 hours of paid diagnostic time -- on top of everything I'd already paid. I told them I was picking up my car. When I did, the "new noise" David claimed he couldn't replicate was right there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    We had a stressful breakdown on the way home from visiting family over Christmas and our car was…read moretaken to Christian Brothers to be assessed. Unfortunately, the repairs were too extensive, as well as expensive for us to take on. However, Tom was incredibly helpful during the entire process. He kept us updated and informed on the best way to move forward, specifically since we were dealing with this from a different city. He made me feel like we were in trusted hands and even helped us out by clearing our things from our car before it got towed away. Even in a not so great situation, Tom made things much easier for us, and we greatly appreciate him!

    I would strongly caution anyone considering bringing their vehicle to Christian Brothers Automotive…read morebased on my experience over multiple visits. I have a 2017 BMW and have brought it to this location repeatedly since February for ongoing cooling system issues. During that time, multiple components were replaced, including the radiator, hoses, water pump, and engine coolant outlet. Despite this, problems continued, and new issues developed immediately after repairs. Most recently, after cooling system work, my air conditioning stopped working properly. It would only blow slightly cool air while driving and would get warmer at idle -- a clear change from how it functioned before the repair. When I brought it back, I was told the A/C expansion valve needed to be replaced due to "high pressure." However, when I asked for actual pressure readings or any concrete diagnostic data to support that conclusion, none was provided. The explanation remained vague and was not backed by measurable values. I also asked whether airflow-related issues had been ruled out (such as the cooling fan or airflow across the condenser), given that the symptoms were worse at idle. Again, no clear or detailed answer was given. I specifically requested confirmation that the cooling system was vacuum filled and properly pressure tested after the prior repair. While I was told verbally that it was done, there was no documentation provided to verify it. A major concern throughout this process has been communication. When I sent detailed follow-up questions by email, they were not answered. Instead, I would receive a message that the vehicle was ready for pickup, without any of my questions being addressed. I also contacted the owner directly, as he has suggested in responses to other reviews, and did not receive any response. The only documentation provided after each visit was basic invoices listing parts replaced, with no meaningful technician notes, diagnostic detail, or recorded test data. For a vehicle with repeated and interconnected issues, this lack of transparency is a serious concern. While the car is currently operating normally after the latest repair, the pattern of repeated issues, unsupported diagnoses, and lack of communication made this a frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming experience. Based on my experience, I would not feel confident returning here for future repairs, especially for anything requiring detailed diagnostics. I would strongly recommend that others ask for clear diagnostic data and written confirmation of procedures before approving any work.

    Kyle was amazing from the very beginning. I hired Kyle based on the fact that he provided a…read morereasonable estimate for the replacement of some O2 sensors for a 2006 Nissan frontier king cab that my son was driving. The error code that it was throwing was the O2 sensor but I wanted to validate and make sure. Kyle came out diagnosed the issue right away saying that unfortunately exhaust codes can be many different things and not necessarily just the O2 sensor so he ran multiple tests, smoke tests and found a number of different issues that he took care of along the way from valve covers and fuel sensors as well as replaced the up and downstream O2 sensors. This whole process took a couple of weeks as he needed to order parts and then retest based on the replacement of those parts, but that's pesky O2 error would not leave. Kyle must've come back to my house at at least 8 to 9 times over a six month period to try to solve this issue all along, not charging the additional time because the original diagnosis seemed to be very simple. I paid Kyle along the way for the parts and his labor, but he refused to continue to charge labor for coming out and retesting until the error was fixed despite sometimes the best mechanics can have reoccurring troubles and be stumped as to why codes keep throwing finally after approximately seven months of going back-and-forth with Kyle's schedule to come out and look at the truck. He replaced one side of a cat with a remanufactured version and the code finally cleared for good. I never heard from Kyle after that as I still owe him for that cat converter, but I can tell you right now that he is probably the best mobile mechanic in all of middle Tennessee that I've ever experienced despite his young age. He is a true man of integrity, character, and perseverance.

    Review DO NOT GET…read moreANY WORK DONE AT THIS PLACE. Let me be as direct and factual as possible. Here is why they are not a good business. - They were quick to take my nearly $1200 for an AC repair, but when it was finished, nothing had changed. Same exact problem. They were not excited to continue looking at my vehicle. Next is why: - They told me it could be up to two weeks before they could look at the problem, and I would need to leave the vehicle there in case something changed. I explained that this vehicle was how I made a living and could not afford to do that. - I asked, and tried to reason with them about this. Matt at the counter basically said he didn't care and everyone gets treated the same. Leave it or it won't get looked at. - I tried to work out a future date that I could schedule the work to be done to make right what they did not fix, and was promptly told again that they would NOT do that under any circumstances. Matt followed this up by saying a business next to him spends over $100k a year with them and they have to wait, why shouldn't I? - I further pushed to emphasize that I didn't have other vehicles to use like them and could we please schedule a time to fix what I paid for. Matt's response was "if you wanted to schedule when work gets done then you should have picked a large shop that does that. Here you just get in line and wait. - None of this was expressed to me initially and they had no problem taking my vehicle right away, but now that it isn't resolved, they will get to it whenever they can. - I even called ahead when I found the issue wasn't fixed and thought I set up an 'appointment' for Friday since I was told to bring it in Friday morning and leave it. The vehicle sat there all day and wasn't touched. That's when I got the 'we don't work weekends, but you'll need to leave it and maybe we look at it next week. Completely inconsiderate and disregard for their customers. So save yourself the frustration and a huge headache. Avoid these people at all costs. They do NOT have your best interest in mind and are not interested in any follow up work that's not a quick fix. Now I am stuck with a vehicle that has not been repaired and wasted money with them.~ Ken I.
