Everything I have to say about this business is good. All communications were spot on and honest. No hidden costs or problems. They ran a system check and they fixed only what was needed. I can definitely recommend Brake Works for their work. read more

I have been coming here for about 16 years. Eddie and his crew are great. I had a Toyota Corolla that I drove for 420,000 miles and they did a great job of keeping it going during this time. I was in this morning with a small problem and they corrected it in a matter of minutes. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I had another shop tell me -unsolicited- that I needed a brake job. I'm nearing 60000 miles and figured that some basic brake maintenance might be warranted, but hadn't noticed any issue. So, I went to Brake Works and they did a real evaluation and said, "Your brakes are fine." Wait? What? Realistically, they could have recommended a number of levels of repair and I would have agreed because...well, I want my brakes to work without worry and I have the auto mechanic skills of a substitute host of The View. Additionally, I had a hanging under carriage felt piece which I'm guessing is required for sound proofing or governmental overreach that has fallen off in chunks from speed bumps, steep driveway grades, or some form of auto part rapture, which I asked them to disentangle and remove.. They did so with a silent knowing recognition to the idiocy of the design. But here's the thing. They refused payment. No charge for anything, despite my protestations. So in summary, I went to a car shop asking for and ready to pay for services and the shop said, "No charges, come back to us in the future when you really need work." Damn skippy, I will. Honest mechanics should be proclaimed. Thanks Brake Works. i will be back. read more

Fast, thorough, accurate diagnosis. Eddie was quick and to the point. The shop was clean and organized and exuded a degree of professionalism. lHe got the right parts ordered, installed and solved the problem within a most reasonable timeframe and called me well before closing time. Pricing was very fair. I am satisfied and wish I had known about this gem of an automotive service facility earlier. I will certainly return for my future needs. Thanks Eddie. read more

Brake works has always been great but it is different with Ray gone. he was such an icon. it they handled my starter replacement like champs read more

Best dam fix it right the first time, in San Antonio, not cheap, but they give peace of mind!!!

Eddy is knowledgeable, professional, a great teacher and willing to actually work with his customer to diagnose problems and recommend courses of action. He tells you like it is without trying to sell snake oil. A refreshing change from so many service providers. Highly recommended if you need any of his services. read more

Friends recommended this place for general auto repair. I've had the check out a couple of vehicles. Always very honest and won't recommend work not needed. As reasonable as car repairs can be. Been very happy with any work completed! read more

Ecling service on brakes, repairs and everything else that they do. Timely repairs, excellent service,

Took my granddaughter's SUV to Brake Check on Nacogdoches Rd yesterday. Sean, the manager, is very personable, providing first class customer service. They did a complete 4-wheel brake job and were sure to cover all the bases. The job was $250 cheaper than Toyota quoted. The best thing about Brake Check is that they're about brakes and only brakes. read more

Let's just say that I'm thankful that I shopped around. I sensed that I was being taken advantage of and knew that I will not be returning! Another company just did the same brake work for me for 1/3 of Brake Works price and didn't "recommend" unnecessary work to be done to my car. Two words: Shop around read more

my wife took our handicap van, which we have never ridden in comfort, but after brake works, it is like new...great job, great service, great savings...thanks eddie read more

excellent, professional, quick service! highly recommend!!! quickly repaired my college son's vehicle so that he could get back to school without a worry. thank you. read more

Great place to go to have your vehicle fixed. Reliable, friendly, and honest I would go there again.

I'd been having issues with my brakes squeaking for the better part of a year, so finally lost my patience and brought my "Roxy" to this shop. They were able to work on my ride almost right away, so I left for 2 to 3 hours while they took care of my baby. Before I left I had brought in my own brakes ordered off Amazon. The owner (Ray?) hadn't heard of the brand and advised that if he installed the brakes I purchased their store warranty couldn't be applied. The price difference between using my pads without the warranty and using their pads with the warranty was less than $100, so it made sense to just use their pads. The brake pad service included brake pad replacement (front and rear), rotor polish/renewal, and the warranty. The total cost of the new pads was $339; with labor and tax the grand total was $470. I'm not a car guy so can't tell you if this was a good deal, but it sounded pretty fair to me. More than a month later, I'm driving around with no squeaking, which makes my drives much less annoying. (lol.) The staff was knowledgeable and easy to work with, with good customer service. I definitely recommend this place and its pros the next time you need your brakes worked on. read more

I had to write this review! What great customer service! I cam in because my emergency brake failed it's yearly check to keep my car licensed and I had called around. They said come in and we'll look at it and tell you how much it will be to fix it. They did a free exam and were honest on what needed to be fixed. They did find a couple of other issues but told me I could wait to get them fixed, and if they would maybe cause other damage in the future. Their price for the needed repair was $50 cheaper than other shops. They have a military discount. And I saw them help another customer and told her that the couple of little things they found were fixed and they weren't charging her. Very kind men! read more

About 2 months ago, about 1200 miles back. I had a sound coming from my F/R. Brought it to BWs. They said, looks good for another 20-20,500 miles. My F/R is now grinding when I step on the break. Do the math! Beware of these guys. When I picked up my truck they didn't charge me and now Im kicking myself in the ass for tipping them $20 for their speedy service which didn't ever occurred on my vehicle. This is being written by a corporate jet technician. Thanks Brake Check! read more

Once again the staff at Brake Works exceeded my expectations! Turned out my battery was bad and wouldn't hold a charge and Eddie refused to charge me for their services! Who does that nowadays? I had my battery tested a few days prior where I purchased it and told it was fine and so was my alternator. Brake Works replaced my starter previously so I was puzzled why my battery was draining. HONEST & FANTASTIC service by all at Brake Works! Again!!!!!!!!!! read more

Brake Works, just had the rear brakes replaced, drums turned, cylinders replaced. Cost was average, service was over the top awesome. Best experience automotive wise and they gave me a ride home and picked me up!! read more

Amazing service. I was on a road trip and leaking break fluid. They offer a free break inspection. They are honest and professional..they even let me into the shop to see the break line that was leaking. The guys did the job- it took a whole day but they only charged me for 4 hours of labor. They even stayed 30 min after close to finish the job because they promised to have it back to me. The breaks work great and no leaks! They also offer 1 year warranty. read more

The other day, I took my car here to get multiple things worked on. I've been going to different places over the last couple of years because I just couldn't ever find somewhere where the technician fixed what actually needed to be done. I can say I will be permanently taking my car here to get it worked on by KJ whenever It needs it, because I've never met someone as dedicated as him to get the job done in a professional manner and someone who explained everything thoroughly too me. I think it was the manager who was going to send him on lunch before he worked on my car, but he chose to get the job done then and there ! I appreciate you guys! Very happy with the 171 Evans st brakes plus! read more

My 97 Honda CRV was taken in here on concerns of being a broken water pump. Eddie told me they would look over it to make sure that's what it was. Got a call back the following day it was just a hose!! Thank goodness. Such an honest and reliable mechanic shop which is very hard to come across these days definitely will be letting people know and will continue bringing business here. Thank you very much gentlemen for getting my vehicle back on the road. read more

This is the best mechanic I have been too in the last 30 years. They are honest, explain every repair and you don't have to mortgage the farm to pay them. read more

The guys at this shop were quick, extremely knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. Add all those qualities to great prices and this place is 100% for me!!! As a single mom who knows nothing about vehicles these guys were great to me!!! read more

Squeaking brakes brought me in to Brake Works. While there, I saw that they also offered shock repair/replacement and thought why not get them to troubleshoot the whooshing sound I'd been hearing on the right front whenever hitting a dip or pothole. Three hours later I got the call that my car was ready, and, to my delight, no new brakes or shocks were needed. Apparently the squeaking was merely an annoyance that was not due to needing new brake pads or rotors. The whooshing was due to part of the plastic undercarriage being loose and brushing the road whenever i hit a dip or pothole. They secured it. I needed no new parts costing hundreds of dollars. What? when does that ever happen when you take a vehicle in for service? I was overjoyed as I pulled out my wallet and asked how much I owed. Eddie said, "You don't owe us anything." I was flabbergasted! They had inspected my vehicle for brakes and shocks, found I didn't need either, secured a loose part, and charged me NADA! Obviously, I cannot recommend them more highly. A "5" doesn't really cover it! read more

Friendly and honest work! They could have very easily told me I needed new rotors and I would have been none the wiser, but they didn't. Will definitely be returning for any future brake work. read more

Good company. Ended up being way more work/damage then first anticipated but was kept in the loop and they did a great job in a short amount of time read more

I appreciate Justin who is the brake works employee who worked on my car he was very honest and kept everything truthful when it came to my steering rack on my car thanks Justin I appreciate you read more

Amazing people and did amazing job and so respectful I recommend!!! I'll be coming back for any future issues!!!!

I've been using Brake Works for several cars I've owned. Always top notch service. One time he didn't charge me. Eddie said there was a loose clip or something of that nature. He snapped it back in place. I've also sent my friends to his shop and they were very pleased with his service. read more

My GMC Sierra would vibrate while braking when backing up. Found these guys on yelp by the reviews they were getting so I chose them to check out what the cause was. They were able to get to it immediately and walked me through everything they found along with measurements of pads and rotors. Informed me of fluid levels which were good and any leakage signs, which were none. They did not try to push any work to be done but left all decisions to me. They were absolutely great and informative. Will always go back and recommend them to all my friends. read more

Great place. They took me in right away when I checked in for my appointment. The owner was honest and explained everything.

Brake works did it again.100% satisfied. Thank you Ray and Justin for keeping me informed and getting my repair done. Great job! Really like that you go above and beyond to make sure my car is great shape. read more

Such a good experience. Faster than I expected, less expensive than other places, quality parts, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Maybe it's not as clean as other places, but I can tell that they care about their customers. I'm totally going back for my next bit of maintenance. read more

Great local business. Very hands-on, caring owner. Ray oversees all aspects from assessment, quotes and at the end, a personal test drive to make sure all is working well before turning the vehicle over to it's owner. Honest and fair. Will definitely return and recommend to all. read more

Back brakes were making noise. Found this place online and decided to give them a try. They explained everything that needed done and quoted me a fair price. I mentioned a coupon I seen online but forgot to bring, and they gave me the discount anyway. I am wary of repair shops and inflating repairs needed and prices. This place did neither. Ray G. (man behind the counter) even engaged me in some very nice conversation while I waited. They offered me a ride home/back but I decided to wait. I went across the street for breakfast, then came back and played a few games on my phone till it was done. The auto parts store gave them the wrong price of the brake caliper's I needed. They gave them a price for the front, but I actually needed the back ones which were $120 more. Rather than them trying to get more money out of me or apologizing for the mistake, Ray honored the price initially quoted. I recently moved here from Pittsburgh Pa, and I can assure you I never heard of this place before today, but will absolutely be using them again in the future. Thank you guys for a job well done at a good price, and thank you Ray for the good conversation. read more

Great experience here. Ray is a straight shooter and gave me a very fair deal. I threw him a curve ball bringing in a Porsche Cayenne S. He replaced front and rear brakes for less than the cost of parts from the dealer. I'm active military at Randolph AFB--this is the best place around read more

I have been using Brake Works for a few years now and Justin and team have worked on several different cars that we own in our family. They are awesome! Very honest, knowledgeable, efficient and fair priced. I highly recommend them! read more

Very honest, excellent work in a very timely manner, professional and DOES stand behind warranties what more could you ask for in a mechanic. Have a customer for over five years. When you have a issue you just call them, they send the wrecker (they trailer the vehicle not on a hook) and it is very reasonable prices on everything. read more

I don't recommend anyone going there whatsoever. Ray is very rude, unprofessional don't know how to talk to people.
