Maaco was open on a Saturday morning, took my car in and gave me an estimate of a bit over $1,500 to replace the entire bumper and components. I was told it would take fourteen days to fix. I called in on the morning of day eighteen and was told it would be ready that afternoon. The repairs costed a lot and took a very long time for parts to arrive, but I chalk that up to supply chain problems across this and every other industry. Overall, I would recommend this business. Costs came in as promised, the repairs were done soon enough and the new bumper looks really nice. The weekend hours are also much appreciated.

Easily one of, if not THE best repair shop experiences any of us have had. 5 / 5, would recommend in a heartbeat.

https://youtu.be/KSXdwWeHJxU as (EVIDENCE)…read more FORMAL COMPLAINT AND COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF EVENTS Christian Brothers Automotive - Tyler, Texas ## CORPORATE PROMISE VS LOCAL EXPERIENCE Christian Brothers Automotive promotes a customer experience called "The Nice Difference," implying professionalism, communication, transparency, and respect. This location is independently owned and operated, meaning the responsibility to deliver that standard falls on local management. What I experienced was the opposite. --- ## ENTRY AND INITIAL INTERACTION Upon entering the Tyler location, I was not acknowledged. There was no greeting, no indication that assistance would be provided, and no basic customer engagement. I had to initiate interaction myself to be acknowledged. Phoebe, the service writer, eventually engaged and stated that I would receive updates throughout the process, including: * Text messages * Emails * Photos documenting the work This communication was never delivered. --- ## COMMUNICATION FAILURE The promised updates did not occur. What I did receive was not a valid diagnostic explanation. The communication provided: * Contained no clear diagnostic breakdown * Redirected me to call the shop * Displayed an estimate marked as "authorized," which I did not approve At this point, I had not paid for any services because I had not retrieved the vehicle and required clarification before proceeding. --- ## DIAGNOSTIC CONCERNS I asked a direct and reasonable question: "What exactly was completed during the $160 diagnostic?" I was told that multiple hours had been spent and that additional time would be required, potentially increasing the diagnostic cost to a much higher amount. I then asked why a scan tool or diagnostic computer was not used first to narrow down the issue before moving into a wiring-based diagnostic process. This is standard practice in modern diagnostics: * OBD2 scan tools * Live data monitoring * Fault code analysis * Circuit isolation prior to invasive work These questions were not answered clearly. The responses were vague, dismissive, and did not provide a technical explanation of what was actually performed. --- ## ESCALATION WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY Instead of addressing my questions or connecting me to the technician working on the vehicle, I was: * Placed on hold * Transferred to the service manager (Ryan) I was not informed this would be an escalation, nor was the situation clearly communicated to me prior to the transfer. --- ## PHONE INTERACTION - INTERRUPTION AND TONE When Ryan joined the call: * He did not establish context * He did not acknowledge the situation * He immediately adopted a condescending tone From the beginning of the call, I was repeatedly interrupted and not allowed to complete my explanations. --- ## STRUCTURED TRANSCRIPT EXCERPTS (WITH INTERRUPTION IDENTIFICATION) Speaker Key: YOU = Customer RYAN = Service Manager --- INTERRUPTION #1 YOU: "She didn't even try to--" RYAN: "So either you let me explain it to you or you can voluntarily come get your vehicle." --- INTERRUPTION #2 YOU: "She didn't even try to explain it to me, sir. She did not--" RYAN: "She has tried multiple times." --- INTERRUPTION #3 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain--" RYAN: "You have not given her the chance to explain, sir." --- INTERRUPTION #4 YOU: "I'm trying to talk to you, so don't interrupt me--" RYAN: "If you want me to treat you the same, you need to not interrupt me as well." --- INTERRUPTION #5 YOU: "Okay, so what I was trying to explain to you--" RYAN: "This conversation is over." --- INTERRUPTION #6 YOU: "You didn't even give me a chance to explain at all--" RYAN: "And how many chances have you given me and my advisor--" --- INTERRUPTION #7 YOU: "Well then we will go ahead and address that she never gave me the chance--" RYAN: "Once again--" --- INTERRUPTION #8 YOU: "And you yourself keep interrupting me like you're doing right now--" RYAN: "And you're not interrupting, sir?" --- INTERRUPTION #9 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #10 YOU: "If you would be quiet for a minute you would be able to allow me to explain--" RYAN: "No sir." --- INTERRUPTION #11 YOU: "See you're interrupting me again--" RYAN: "I'm officially ending this conversation." --- ## INTERRUPTION SUMMARY Based on the transcript provided: * You were interrupted at least 11 times * Each interruption occurred while attempting to: * Explain lack of communication * Clarify unauthorized estimate * Understand diagnostic process At no point was a full explanation allowed to be completed. --- ## CONVERSATION TERMINATION Instead of resolving the issue: * The conversation was shut down * I was told to retrieve my vehicle * No clarification was provided --- ## REFUSAL TO ESCALATE I requested to speak with the owner. * I was told the owner was present * I was denied the opportunity to speak with him ---

This time they were prompt, but when I went to pick it up I noticed they had charged me $26.05 for ONE spark plug. I thought it was a mistake and questioned it, the owner insisted they were super duper spark plugs and had cost him $21 and he added only $5 so I could have a warranty for the work. I got a little suspicious about the other items and since I knew the parts came from O'Reilly's, I checked each part # and this is what I found. I've attached a pic of the invoice if you'd like to check my numbers. Also, don't shops get a discount on parts? O'Reilly's Prices here are not sale prices. Using the part #s on the invoice PART O'Reilly's PRICE WHAT I WAS CHARGED Oil Filter $5.79 $14.27 Motor Oil $13.49 $18.95 Motor oil 5 quart $28.99 $69.58 Brake Fluid $8.49 $16.22 Automatic Trans Fluid $10.99 $29.87 Antifreeze $20.99 $71.98 Air Filter $26.99 $60.94 Cabin Air Filter $21.99 $39.00 Strut Assembly $209.99 $286.75 Shock Absorber $81.99 $156.08 Spark Plug $10.49 $26.05 Plenum Gasket Set $36.99 $54.08 Serpentine Belt $29.99 $55.20 SOME PARTS REQUIRED MULTIPLES. For instance, 6 spark plugs cost me $156.30. Plus a charge of $182.65 to install the plugs! Now, this only addresses the parts, my total invoice was over $3000, causing me to dip into savings. My recommendation for anyone using this shop ---get a parts quote upfront and check them out or go get the parts yourself and take them to them. That reminds me, I had a new, in the box, cabin air filter in my glove box. I got charged $39 for a cabin air filter and my new one is no longer there.
