    Key left in the ignition overnight and car not secured in garage.

    To all this may concern. On May 18, 2024, I had brake pads, tire rotation, and a full synthetic lube, oil, and filter change performed by technician Dylan Alger at Brake Masters on Lake Pleasant and Happy Valley Rd. They do claim that the technician is no longer employed by them. On June 3, while driving on the 303 freeway, the engine light came on, and I noticed oil leaking from my car. My husband discovered that the oil plug was lying on top of the skid plate. The car wouldn't start, so we had it towed back to Brake Masters, where the last service was done. On June 5, Brake Masters confirmed that the engine was ruined due to their negligence, and they agreed to replace it. Despite requesting a rental car on June 4, I didn't receive one until June 7. I got my car back on July 6 with a rebuilt engine, but the engine light came on again soon after. Damien, the store manager, claimed it was just a computer glitch. On August 4, while driving home from Sedona, the car decelerated, and the engine light started flashing. We were stranded in extreme heat for three hours before getting a tow. The tow cost $236, and the car was taken back to Brake Masters. On August 5, Damien informed us that they might need to replace the engine again. Despite our request for a rental car, they delayed issuing one until the next day. Terry, the Director of Operations, refused to consider providing fair market value for the vehicle and was dismissive of our concerns. On August 9, I found my car left outside Brake Masters after a night of monsoon storms with the windows open. The interior was soaked, dry water shows rain water was all over my controls for my window and the rain water made it through to the passenger door and was visible on that control panel, and my CAR KEY was left in the ignition. I was told that my car would be placed in the garage every night and secure. There were 2 to 3 other vehicles in the garage yet my car was left outside. The lack of care and responsibility from Brake Masters has been unacceptable, causing significant inconvenience and stress to my family. I

    Oil Drain Plug that was installed like this by Brake Masters.

    I took my car in for brakes and an oil change with the result being a car that leaked oil all over the driveway. We took it back to them, explaining how the car was not leaking oil prior this oil change and they stated, oh that is a common BMW issue. Without looking under the car or lifting it up to inspect it, they quoted me 24 hours of labor to fix the issue. Come to find out after looking at the car myself, I discovered the oil drain plug was lose with the original washer being re-used and torn. It was simple fix that should have never been an issue. To top it off, and after quoting us 24 hours of labor, another employee walks out and offers his personal services outside the shop to fix the issue. SO UNFORTUNATE, TOTAL RIP OFF.

    My white vehicle out there for an oil change...just now being lifted at 1154am when my appointment was at 8am.  Wasted my whole morning!

    I come here often to get my oil changed. I made an 8am appointment on Monday for today (Saturday). Got here at 745am to drop off my car. Was told they only had 1 worker but they would get it done as fast as they can. It's now 1154am and they JUST put my car on the lift! I was literally waiting for someone to come back in so I could ask for my car when it was magically lifted! So pissed off. Do NOT take walk ins and put them ahead of appointments. That's basic common sense!

    Grease on my pilar from the service tech.

    Do not go here . A truly horrible experience dealing with these people. My car got significantly worse after they worked on it.

They always do such an amazing job and are very honest and ethical with their thorough exams and pricing of your vehicles needs. We love the photos/video reports of their findings especially if you just drop your car off to be serviced and aren't there during the inspection. We truly appreciate that they have a free shuttle service as well if you're close enough to the shop and you don't have a ride to or from your vehicle. It is so nice and convenient that they offer this especially when most dealerships don't! Their customer service is wonderful and so speedy to return your calls or texts! We bring all of our vehicles here and have for several years now because we feel as if CB really does treat you like family! Thankyou, CB for your hard work and taking good care of our cars here in the valley, we are so glad you guys opened another location and are so close to us for all of our auto needs!

People: Everyone I dealt with is courteous and efficient. Shop: Very clean and good amenities such as water, snacks and coffee. Other note: They do give you a video and an online interactive report after their complementary multipoint inspection. It is quite informative. Workmanship. Competent. I can't see anything wrong so far. Down Side. They seems to take longer than other shops I used to getting my car back for similar works. Therefore, plan on extra if you let the do the work.

I had an A/C issue that has been going on for a couple years and I kept putting it off and putting it off. Finally decided this is the year. My car is a Camaro so I started at the Chevy dealership...big mistake! The problem I was having is that in order to get to this part that needed to be replaced, they had to remove the windshield. I was terrified that my windshield would get broken and it was a fairly new windshield that I just had tinted! Chevy was going to charge me over $4,700 and keep my car for over a week! So plan B...started at Google....Kerry's popped up and I trusted my gut! Called, made the appointment for the next day. I got in and my service advisor was extremely helpful and kind. He actually cared about my feelings about my windshield and that alone made me feel better. So after explaining to me exactly what was wrong and explaining to me what needed to happen, it made sense. Still worried about the cost and time without my car because I have my son that I need to take to school and back, I was once again blown away by my advisors' next response...the cost was nowhere near Chevy and my car would only be with them for 4 days! I got my car back with the coldest A/C west of the Mississippi! No seriously, my A/C works great!!!!!! A few days after, I picked up my car, the manager James called to follow up and make sure my car was up to my standards and asked if I had any questions. It's nice to see great service in the world of GO-GO and no care for others. Bottom line Kerry's cares!!!! See you in a few months for my breaks and rotors!

I dropped the car off and when they sent the quote they added on parts at a ridiculously marked up price and I didn't need. Took my car to Christian brothers, I did not need the resistor they tried to charge almost 500 for and the other shop only charged me 330for parts and labor vs the 1200 this shop tried to rip me off for. Times are hard enough for them to try and rip me off for 870 extra was ridiculous.

The tech told me he put a better oil plug gasket thing on, and it fixed the issue. I took my jeep again, told the about my last experience and request they put the better gasket with the plug, they seemed to brush me off. I told them of my planned road trip and I didn't want to have to come back because it's leaking. Well, guess what? I noticed fresh oil in my driveway AGAIN. I had to take my vehicle back again to have the address the plug. Two visits, two issues with leaky oil. Not good value when you have two go twice for one oil change. I will not go back.

I paid and left with these flowers. This was above and beyond in my book and I will be a repeat customer in the future! Thank you Dakota for exceptional customer service, appreciate you! Wendy
