Requested a quote for install for 2024 Tacoma trunk lid cover. And quickly got response and compared to others, the quality and value were the best. Overall service was excellent by Toby, Carole and Charles. Best part was my shuttle ride home and back with military discount. Highly recommend their services! read more

Oil change was priced well. Windshield wiper replacement cost more, which is absurd. They upsell big time! Also they failed to use a mat cover and got grease/oil all over my light grey mat! Honestly, offering cookies and flowers is less important than keeping my car clean! Very unprofessional! read more

Christian Brothers Automotive Riverview - Grease/oil from mechanic. - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverview, Florida

Always professional and courteous. I've taken my car here twice and I'm happy with the work they do. The price is fair if you compare to dealership pricing and they have a 3year/36k mile warranty on parts. Easy to schedule online for service and a courtesy shuttle to the house. Highly Recommended! read more

UPDATE SAVE YOUR TIME, SANITY, AND MONEY--AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I had to shorten this to fit, so here's the condensed version: I brought my 2006 Ford F-150 in for a transmission concern. Paid $135 for a diagnosis and was repeatedly told the transmission was fine--I "needed" a full rear end replacement instead. Quoted $2,200. When the part arrived, it was wrong. The correct one cost $2,800. After installation, I was then told I actually needed a new transmission ($3,800). I went to Ford instead--who replaced the transmission and informed me the rear end was incorrect. I returned, and they confirmed their mistake. Another rear end was ordered. Two weeks later, I'm told it's fixed--but their tech broke my driver-side mirror. They initially installed a replacement driver-side mirror incorrectly and it rattled while driving. They later fixed the installation, but it did not match the passenger-side chrome mirror. They couldn't order a chrome replacement, so they installed another black mirror and then replaced the passenger-side chrome mirror with a black one so both sides would match--leaving the truck with mismatched original spec and no chrome mirrors. Only when picking up the truck after all of this did I learn how the transmission was originally deemed "fine"--the tech said he listened to it with a stethoscope. That is not a proper diagnosis. Standard procedure includes scanning for codes, checking fluid condition/level, and road testing to evaluate shifting performance. Aside from a friendly staff, this was the worst repair experience I've ever had. Complete incompetence from start to finish. Don't say you weren't warned. read more

I am deeply disappointed with the declining service at Christian Brothers. After a misfire issue, they quoted me nearly $500 for the replacement of 4 spark plugs and a fuel treatment, which included a $177 diagnostic fee/ Someone told my son it would be waived if I had the repair done. It was not going to be waived. When questioned if they would assure me that they would correct the problem, the service advisor admitted this was just a "starting point" and might not fix the car. A different shop correctly diagnosed the issue as bad coils in 45 minutes, which fixed the problem. Between this and a previous "fix" on my AC that required a second visit for no cooling and a new deductible, the very next day. They had found a bad valve on my first visit, but missed it as they described that the compressor internals were bad. It's clear they are missing the root cause of the problems. I used to trust them, but no more. read more

My daughter thought her check engine light was on, so she brought it to Christian Brothers for a diagnostic test. So we left it there and got a call about 15 minutes later saying it was just her tire pressure light. They could've easily charged her the diagnostic fee and she wouldn't have know any better, but they didn't. Very honest, and they just earned a lifelong customer. Highly recommend! read more

Had a engine missing problem and my son call and was told they was a diagnostic charge but it would be applied to the repair. I took car in and received estimate that spark plugs was bad (all new but one was melted) and that the charge to replace the 4 plugs was $164.95 for diagnostic and additional $281.66 to replace the 4 plugs for a total of $446.61 and also recommended that the fuel injectors needed cleans by adding additive to my gas and running the engine (which had been done the month before) for additional $243.92 for $690.53. I called and was told there was a misunderstanding that the diagnostic charge has always been in addition to the repair. I asked if I had all that done would he guarantee that would correct the problem and was told no that this was just the starting point. I refused the repair and paid the diagnostic charge and took my vehicle to a different repair shop and they took 45 minutes and said their testing showed that the coil on one plug was bad and a second was weak. They replaced all 4 coils and the one bad plug for less than $350 . This was my second time where CB stopped before determining the total reason for my problem. read more

I brought my 2021 Jeep Wrangler to Christian Brothers Automotive - Riverview for what should have been a straightforward crankshaft seal repair. What followed was months of repeated failures, escalating damage, thousands of dollars in losses, and a complete breakdown in accountability and communication. After the initial crankshaft seal replacement in October 2025, the oil leak continued. I was forced to return, and the shop admitted the first repair was faulty and replaced the seal again in early November. Less than six weeks later, while driving in December, my vehicle displayed a critical warning ("Pull over, your vehicle will shut off soon") and became inoperable, stranding me away from home A Jeep dealership later diagnosed catastrophic damage: the alternator had overheated and failed, wiring was burned, and the Power Distribution Center (fuse box) was melted. Upon disassembly, there was clear physical evidence of serpentine belt misalignment and belt debris being pulled into the alternator--conditions that do not occur without improper installation or reassembly. An expert mechanical opinion confirmed that the alternator failure was not normal wear, but was directly caused by belt interference and debris contamination, a known and preventable failure mode under SAE and OEM standards As a result, I incurred extensive costs including: * Alternator replacement * Melted fuse box replacement * Serpentine belt replacement * Towing exceeding $1,500 * Rental cars, travel, parking, and lodging * Significant vehicle downtime All of this damage traces back to the improper repair work performed at this location. When I returned the vehicle to Christian Brothers - Riverview for inspection, management immediately denied responsibility despite being shown physical evidence. I was repeatedly told I would receive follow-up calls that never came. The shop then ordered parts without my authorization and later demanded $750 simply to release my vehicle. Communication stalled for days due to closures, and resolution attempts went nowhere, forcing me to escalate to corporate and ultimately seek legal counsel This experience reflects: * Poor workmanship * Lack of quality control * Failure to stand behind repairs * Unauthorized actions * Unprofessional handling of a serious safety-related failure I trusted this shop with my vehicle and was left with severe mechanical damage, financial loss, and weeks of disruption. Based on my experience and documented evidence, I cannot recommend Christian Brothers Automotive - Riverview to anyone seeking reliable or accountable service. read more

In the world today everything is too expensive and car repairs are no different. I have spend SIGNIFICANT money on my 2012 Suburban the last couple of months because a new car and insurance was looking to be $700 a month for 7 years .... Almost 50k! So instead I looked for a mechanic that was not a big corporation but a small team of people who want to build a relationship with your vehicle. During my recent experience Carol, my advisor walking me out said, "thank you for trusting us"! Let that sink in for a second, as a consumer that was the first time I have heard words like that and they were appreciated! Then I get in my truck to find an ice cold bottled water for me. The last time they send me a thank you card. The work they do it's photographed, videos, approvals and quotes easy through a text and they also have dedicated transport to pick you up or drop you off! This is truthfully a remarkable experience with this team and everyone I see or come in contact with , just seems to love their job, where they work and a confident level of exceptional customer service. I am taking the time because I genuinely appreciate Carol and the entire team for making me feel cared about as an individual not an endless corporate number. I trust them and I hope you give them a chance. THANK YIU AGAIN CAROL AND CBA TEAM! I appreciate you! read more

Christian Brothers Automotive Riverview - A flower that the Christian brothers gave me when I picked up my vehicle - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverview, Florida

On 08 September 2023, Christan Brothers stated they needed to order a main fuse box to repair my Jeep Grand Cherokee. As the part was backordered, it was going to take 4-6 weeks but I was required to pay $550 for the part now. After 6 weeks, I would routinely call Christan Bros to ask for an update but always got the same "we're working on it" rely. At no point did they ever reach out to me with an update. On 02 January 2024, I called and spoke with Luis for an update. Luis stated he would call Courtesy Jeep and get back to me. After several hours, I became skeptical if Luis had actually inquired about the part. I called Courtesy Jeep myself and spoke with Dan from the Parts Department. Not only did Dan have the part in stock, but their price was $130 less than what Christan Bros had charged me. I then called Luis back, letting him know the part was in and asked why I was being charged $130 more for the part. He stated this was Christan Bros markup. In an attempt to save money, I offered to pick up the part myself since I found it. Luis fired back "you didn't find it and the $550 I paid is non-refundable." I've been a loyal customer at this Christan Bros location for several years. I feel like I've been lied to and ripped off by people who knew me, and my family. After Christan Brothers had my money, there was an utter indifference on their end for finding the part and fixing my Jeep. Before posting this review, I called twice and asked to address these concerns with the Manager (Toby) directly. Both times I was told he would call me back immediately, but he never returned my call. read more

Car would not start and had towed here. Did a complete inspection of the vehicle and kept me updated with progress and video. Starter had to be replaced and had some other diagnostic services done. The customer service was excellent but feel pricing was high compared to other prices with similar issues. Got a detailed report of services I would need and felt like most of the estimates were a lot higher compared to other area shops. Will think twice about bringing my car back here. read more

Another great experience! Always a friendly and professional service here at Christian Brothers. Close and convenient location. The only place I take the vehicle to for non warranty work. Thanks again, from the Joneses! read more

Christian Brothers Automotive Riverview - New shocks, struts, and brakes! - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I had a check engine light on which was for a misfiring cylinder. It turned out to be a bad ignition coil. They did a very thorough inspection but recommended replacing all the coils and wire harness clips and I had just replaced them 3 year before. I said I just wanted the one fixed and they asked for $1400. They wanted $75 more for the part then Lexus charges and the bad coil turned out to be on the front side which is simple to access and I was able to replace the coil and the clip in 30 minutes for less than $50 in parts. I am getting older and it is not as easy to work on the car but I would never go here again since they will rip you off with overpriced parts and exaggerated labor. read more

This business claims to be honest and fair, but they are the exact opposite. They're overpriced. They add in charges that you're not aware of and have not approved. They will "fix" your vehicle, but then upon its return to you, you'll find that if not repaired at all. So you demand that they actually fix your car and once again they lie claiming that it's repaired. In my situation, they had my vehicle for a total of about four weeks. I picked up my car when they said it was fixed and it broke down on me once again 40 minutes later!! I take it back to them and they say they can't figure out what the issue is but that it's repaired this time. So I pick it up And I am told that I cannot use a certain aspect of my vehicle. If my car is fixed then I should be able to use it with all aspects. Guess what! It wasn't fixed once again. I take it to a different mechanic, and the man had it for a few hours one day and fixed my car For less than what christian brothers charged me. I contact Christian brothers hoping that they will be fair and honest and at least partially refund the 600 and some dollars they charged to "fix" my vehicle. But they don't. They refund the part for $45. They will scam you out of so much money your head will spin! Do not come here! You can find better! Edit to Add* They give you the email address for you to get in contact with them addressing the complaint but never get back to you. Just a way to try shutting you up. read more

Late November we took our son's car to Christian Brothers due to squeaking breaks. After their normal inspection they came back with numerous issues with the car. We decided to do the following for $1500: Tire pressure light flashing, Under hood Fluid Leaks, Engine Air Filter, Oil Change Sticker, Diagnostic Codes Present or Recently Cleared with OBDII, Front and rear Brake Pads / Linings. After we brought the car home the car will cut off when trying to go in reverse. Since they were closed on Saturday and Sundays our son took the car back on Wednesday the following week. Apparently they did not connect a cable correctly then as my son was leaving the car stopped again. My son got angry and it was words exchanged with two employees and he was told that he couldn't go back to the shop. We took the car to Firestone and they find out that the oil cap was not place correctly. This is not acceptable and I will never recommend this company to anyone. Although we condemn our son's behavior but CB put his life at risk by not making sure that the job was done correctly. read more

SCAM artist, their #1 goal is to trick and rob, especially females! They charged me $487.00 for an ESTIMATE, ZERO work was done on my truck. The work I need done is covered by my extended warranty company. They claimed warranty work was going to cost over $3000.00 and the warranty company would only cover about $1300.00, I would be responsible for the other $1700.00. I looked up the parts, for a $300.00 part they wanted to charge nearly $1200.00. I can see why my warranty company only wanted to agree to $1300.00, that is all it would take to fix it. Christensen brothers wanted to make a $1700.00 profit off me. After the this years storms for a company to be intentionally gouging people, they should have to pay a large fine!! Unless your willing to pay a 300 to 400 percent mark up I recommend finding a shop that is honest and not just trying to take advantage of people after a natural disaster!! THEY ARE THE WORST AUTO REPAIR SHOP I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!! read more

They could not locate the problem after 24 hours and keeping my vehicle overnight and I was charged full price without any explanation of the issue I brought my vehicle in for. Don't go here. read more

Went in for an oil change and they were incredibly professional and very fair. I very seldom leave reviews but this specific location went above and beyond for me. read more

WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING! Do not take your vehicle to this shop unless you want to pay double for everything, get your vehicle back in worse condition, lied to and laughed at all in one day. Then get ready to spend more money on a lawyer and all the other fare shares of a court process. read more

My wife took her vehicle there for a an oil change. They told us the oil filter cap needed to be replaced. Once work was completed we woke up the next morning with 5 quarts of oil on our driveway. When they took off the old cap a piece broke off and they installed the new one on top of it. Now HOA is sending us notice that our driveway needs to be cleaned/ repaired. We have called and are still waiting for them to make it right. read more

I took my car here based on a recommendation and after getting a ridiculous quote from another place. I needed my car road ready for long trip up the coast. They did a full inspection, took pictures and made their recommendations. I'm happy to say they saved me alot of money and fixed smaller issues that could have made trouble for me later!! Shoutout to Eugene and Liz! read more

Don't be fooled by the name. They are really nice and dishonest. I had money stolen from my car (first was my mistake second was a test) and given ridiculous diagnosis in an attempt to upsell. The highlight was a banging noise when going over speed bums after they changed my son's struts. We brought it back in and they said nothing was wrong, but my motor mounts were loose and needed replaced. We declined and left, then tested over some speed bumps. The banging was gone. read more

We took our vehicle for an Air Conditioning repair and spent $2800 in repairs to have our car returned with a broken dashboard.

VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED WITH MY LATEST EXPERIENCE! I never give bad reviews but in this case, I feel compelled to share my disheartening experience with " Christian Brothers Automotive - Riverview". On April 29, 2024, I brought my Jeep in to be serviced for, rear brake pads, brake fluid flush, and tire rotation. I dropped my Wife's car off for her 5pm appointment and picked my Jeep up and drove home. I live 2mins, less than a mile from the shop. When I got home, I noticed one of my Wheel Center Caps was missing but the screws to the cap was still in place. I returned to CBA to inform them. Spoke directly with the service tech and he stated, "he put them all back on but after-market parts are cheaply made and that the center cap could've possibly broke off while he was test driving it after completion of service." He also informed me that he had to replace a lug on the same tire (rear driver) because original lug stripped during service which so-happened to be wheel lock for that tire. After dropping over $500 for services, I feel like there was no accountability on CBA's part. They never offered any solutions on how we could rectify this issue. I was made to feel like I was to blame for this unfortunate incident. As consumers one thing we can all agree on is that we would like our vehicles returned to us at least in the same condition if not better than when we dropped it off. To add insult to injury, my wife's vehicle was never seen because they didn't look on the computer to see she had a 5pm appointment. It was just sitting in their lot. I've tried to call to voice my displeasure with management and have left several messages and have yet to receive a call back. I'm just frustrated by the entire situation. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT VERY CHRISTIAN LIKE! read more

I had my transmission checked at the Riverview location. I was never given a written estimate as required by Florida Law and I was charged at the end $460. The work done was for dropping the pan, cleaning the pan reinstalling the pan with my original gasket and refilled with my original fluid so no parts or fluid were necessary. We had spoken the previous day about a different service but we decided to do this work instead. It took the technician 1.5 hours to perform this work. I spoke to Eugine the sales guy and asked him what his Shop labor rate and he said $194 per hour. BUT they didn't use the shop rate, they charged me a flat rate and because the tech was finished early the flat rate was still used. When I spoke to Eugine, he told me I was suffering from Buyers remorse. I am going to take this further to News 8 On Your Side and the Better Business Bureau as well to file a complaint. I will never go to Christian Brother Auto for any service what so ever and would advise that anyone planning on going should do their own research and get every piece of information in writing before you say YES. read more

Our car was blowing warm air and we asked them to inspect the AC system. They said it needed Freon and charged us $500 to recharge the system. After getting the car back I did a search and found that was significantly more than what others would have charged. I also received a notice from the manufacturer that there was a problem with the AC system that caused them to extend the warranty. A problem that they could have easily found with a web search, but that would have lost them work. They also gave us a laundry list of other work that needed to be performed based on mileage, but a search on the manufacturer's web site showed that none of these things were anywhere close to being necessary. Those repairs would have cost about $6,000! Within four weeks after the recharge, the AC was blowing warm air again. I took it to a dealer to see in the problem was covered by the extended warranty. It was. I needed a new compressor and gasket. Christian Brothers charged us $500 for absolutely nothing and they lied in an attempt to rip us off further. The Riverview location should be avoided. read more

I took my wife's SUV in for a diagnosis and repair of engine failure. As is turns out, it needed a battery which they quoted at $300. This is quite excessive for a $120 item. In addition, they charged $176 for the diagnostics and would not credit that amount toward any repairs that they recommended which totaled $2,500. Crazy. They will not perform the work and I will not be returning. read more

Staff is very friendly but do not get major work done at this shop like timing belt changes! You'll regret it!

It started with my car overheating. We shut the car off and had it towed here. We paid $700 then they released the vehicle to us. Drove it and then it overheated again. We brought it back and they said it was a cracked reservoir tank so we paid another $100 to fix that. They released the vehicle to us and AGAIN it overheated. So we had it towed AGAIN and they let us know that the engine blew and there is no way to fix it except get a new engine which cost the price of a new used car. They are reimbursing us and helped us a lot. I am super thankful! read more

Was away from home and needed the oil changed so I came here. They give you a "free inspection" to see if anything else is wrong with your car when you are there, they told me I needed new struts and shocks totally around $800 and were trying to get me to book that appointment - I declined and when I got home and needed another oil change I took it to my normal place and they said my shocks and struts were completely fine. 2 stars cuz I'd get my oil changed here if I was in a bind, but wouldn't trust their advice on anything else. read more

Super kind & considerate. Pleasant waiting room! Offered bottled water while I waited. Even gave me a flower to say they appreciated me coming in to do business with them! Quick service - kept me up to do date via text message as well as telling me. Offered a ride somewhere if I didn't want to wait while my car was being serviced! Best price for the service and kindness I received! Will definitely go back! read more

I paid for full auto inspection, but this company and up missing a lot of items and adding problems that we're not there. Just a bunch of scam. read more

Great price and friendly service made doing business an easy decision, especially in a city far away from home :)

Great service and great pricing, my AC was not working they got it fixed same day also got all fluids changed all for a great price

In all my years of getting vehicles serviced, I have to say this establishment takes the entire cake. This business is extremely professional, organized and quick when it comes to customer service and maintenance. I brought my truck in for an oil change. I found them on Yelp and they had high marks - after coming here I know why. I made an appointment a couple of days before and received a couple of reminders as the appointment approached. This was good, since I forget sometimes. Upon entering the office I actually thought I was in the wrong business. The waiting area looked (or smelled) nothing like your typical automotive business. They had nice furniture, hard wood floors and the front office workers were dressed very professionally. They proceeded to service my truck immediately while I enjoyed the comfort of a leather couch. Service took less than 25 minutes and when all was said and done my truck was running, A/C on and a cold bottle of water on the cup holder. These folks pride themselves on an elevated work ethic and superior customer service. Toby, the guy that took care of me, was awesome and answered all the maintenance questions I had. A few days later I got a card in the mail from the owner, who expressed his appreciation for my business. He also explained that his business is based on Christian values - something that means a lot in my own life. Good job Christian Brothers! You have a customer for life! read more

Make an appointment - these guys are busy. With an emphasis on "christian," Christian Brothers does mechanical work on all makes and models. They do basic stuff too - oil changes and all that - but the big jobs are why I come here. Prices are fair and in line with other reasonable mechanics, but the customer service is outstanding. They'll remember who you are, drop you off at home, and generally make you feel like a very valued customer. Plus they play christian music at the shop and in the courtesy vehicle, and have bibles and other literature you can religiously peruse should you so desire. I'm not a particularly religious person, but hey, they could worship Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young for all I care with their outstanding customer service. They take care of their people, and are definitely worth the price. read more

My primary concern with CBA is that the price quoted on the phone was significantly less then the price at pick up. I called CBA after a text that stated my quote was ready. They mentioned several services they recommend and after asking the price to complete the service I initially requested, they stated $323. The total price on pick up was $408 and rep said that $323 was the price minus labor, taxes, and fees. Was told I misunderstood the full detail of the cost. I have used CBA in other states during my military career and never "misunderstood" the billing practices. I find this "misunderstanding" internal confusion on their part to who can communicate with customers at the least or a deceptive practice. read more

Very nice staff and interior is really nice also. Not you're typical automotive shop, will be returning
