I will not be returning to this shop and I recommend you look elsewhere as well. 2 shady recent…read morescenarios prompt my decision: First requires some context: When you buy a set of tires here, you get free tire rotations with each oil change. This was going fine until one day they tried to charge me for my tire rotation + tire repair that I had come in for. When I asked for an explanation, Dwayne at the front desk (not the most "people-person" of individuals in general) realized that a new account was "accidentally" created for my vehicle, and this account was not connected to the account that bought the tires. Not sure what happened there - same name, car, address, everything... So, beware that they are not trying to charge you in hidden ways like this. Regardless, people make mistakes, right? I decided to continue being a customer at that time... Until the latest, more concerning scenario: I came in knowing that my battery was on low charge. When I had trouble starting it one morning, the 'check engine' light came on. My oversight was that I didn't realize the light was just related to the battery (code said poor communication with ECM) - and I decided to play it safe and bring it right it. Well, that was a terrible $200 mistake. I was told my car underwent a thorough diagnostic process, and the outcome was: "Could have other issues" but "recommend battery replacement to start with". After questioning this by reminding Dwayne (and another man at the front) that I KNEW the car had been sitting for a while and needed to be re-charged, but that I wanted to ensure there was not a bigger issue going on, he "explained" to me that it was not about the low charge but rather that it was an issue with the battery itself - in fact, according to him, the car was barely starting. I also pushed back about the supposed full diagnostic process that cost me $200 but didn't have anything to show for it. "Could have other issues" certainly does not suggest a thorough check to me. I decided to leave it be (without replacing the battery) and came to learn that 1) when I got to my car to take it back home, the trunk was unlatched, causing the interior trunk lights to create a parasitic draw on the battery. I thought this was quite the convenient coincidence, given the sales pitch I had just been given about my car barely starting; and 2) Once I re-charged my battery back to full charge, it tested just fine (using THREE different sources/multimeters) and has been operating just fine. Absolutely NO issues starting up, and this incident was 2 weeks ago. I'm glad I didn't waste another $250 to the replace the battery (a quote they gave me for a battery that I was able to do a research on and found for $150 at the local auto shop). They lost a good customer - and for what? I don't really understand the motives behind shops like this who assume their customers don't know what they're talking about and don't even have a moment to take what they're saying into consideration. But that won't be my issue anymore. Please look elsewhere.

For example, I once asked Mike for a quote on replacing some wheel bolts, and he responded that it was such an easy job, it wasn't worth spending the labor on it, then proceeded to tell me how to do it. Then, I called to ask for a quote on replacement of a timing chain on a car I was thinking of buying. Christian's response was to buy a more dependable car, not one that was going to cost me a lot of money in the long term, and also make him a fortune. It says a lot when, in the middle of some tough times, you have a mechanic that will look to save you money.

From…read morewhat I've seen of other mechanics, Brausen is more on the expensive side, but they do it right. I appreciate their honesty and the fact that they don't call me "sweetheart" when I walk in the door. I appreciate their recommendations like "If you're just driving around town, this will be fine, but if you're traveling out of state, you need this fixed," and "We could fix this now but it won't negatively affect your brakes and it would cost you a lot of money. Otherwise, we could fix it when you get your brakes replaced and you'll save on labor." (Paraphrased, but these are real things they've said that have been helpful.) It's clear to me that they care about their customers and value customer loyalty over a quick extra buck. Also love the free car wash tickets you get with an oil change.

We originally brought a Mazda CX-5 to Christian Brothers Automotive in Lakeville for a pre-purchase inspection. The technicians performed a very detailed inspection, and Chuck, Vince, and Nick each took the time to personally look over and drive the vehicle as well. They explained everything they found, answered every question we had, and ultimately advised us to walk away from the purchase. While that was disappointing at the time, it almost certainly saved us from buying a vehicle that would have cost us far more down the road. We kept looking and eventually found a Lexus RX 350, which we also brought to Christian Brothers for another pre-purchase inspection. Once again, the technicians did an outstanding job, and Chuck, Vince, and Nick each took the time to review the vehicle, explain their findings, and answer our questions. They confirmed the Lexus was a solid vehicle and gave us confidence moving forward with the purchase. The inspection wasn't just a checklist. It was an education. They walked us through the vehicle, explained what they were seeing, pointed out what mattered, what didn't, and what we should expect down the road. Their advice also helped us negotiate the purchase price, saving us $500, which more than covered the cost of both inspections. What impressed me most, though, was the people. Every interaction with Chuck, Vince, and Nick was friendly, transparent, and genuine. What really stood out was how much they cared about the outcome. After we left to buy the Lexus, it was already late and we weren't able to finish the purchase that evening. Before we left, Chuck asked me to give him a call the next day because he wanted to know how everything turned out, whether we were able to buy the Lexus, and whether his advice had helped. He didn't have to do that. It wasn't part of the inspection. It showed me that they genuinely cared about helping us find the right vehicle, not just completing another service. Christian Brothers Automotive is more than 30 minutes from my home, and I'll gladly make that drive. They'll be servicing not only this Lexus, but all of my family's vehicles going forward. Buying a used vehicle can be stressful, especially when you're trying to make the right decision for your family. For us, this wasn't just buying another used car. This was buying our daughter's first vehicle, and we wanted to know we were making the right decision. Christian Brothers Automotive helped us do exactly that. Thank you to Chuck, Vince, Nick, the technicians, and everyone else at Christian Brothers Automotive in Lakeville. We truly appreciate everything you did for our family! -Derek

I love this automotive company. Here's just a FEW reasons why:…read more * Service: They treat all their customers with respect. They care about relationships and building trust. They openly communicate through every service experience and always go above and beyond to ensure the customer is happy, satisfied, and understanding of the service performed. I especially love how they also treat my car with great respect and care. They do a fabulous job at not getting the interior dirty or greasy, which is hard when you're working under those conditions that are not the cleanest. I really really like this element. Quality: If at any point your unsatisfied or quality is not up to par they will bend over backwards to make it right. They pride themselves on quality across the board and it shows - from their craftsmanship, to employed team members, to service. The quality speaks volumes here. Value: They are ethically priced and will not do what it takes to ensure the customer spends more OR gets ripped off. They treat every customer with respect - male and female - and often times will proves additional incentives or discounts if the work order is high to ensure you get some money off. I love how they also offer a free oil change incentive after you get 5. It's a nice little perk and makes me feel great when I reach the free oil change. Small Biz Values: I appreciate their faith-based approach to how they operate their business. I'm a faith-driven person and respect companies who are able to operate to their personal standards, values, and moral compass. I like seeing the cards in the front office from local kids and satisfied customers expressing their thanks and gratitude. I love the music they play in the front office as well - very calming, encouraging and faith-driven. The last thing I love is the on-site rides they offer to customers who are getting work performed. It's so handy being able to be dropped off or picked up free of charge by them and shows they are valuing my time as well. This is a great automotive company that supports our local communities and does such a great job of lifting up the values of other small businesses around them. Thank you Christian Brothers Automotive for always striving for perfection and treating me as a dedicated customer!!
