Back in April of this year I took my wife's car to Christian brothers. I had the coils and spark…read moreplugs were placed with parts I had purchased from Ford. I understood that they would not warranty the parts themselves, but I did expect them to be installed properly. My wife's car had 103,000 miles on it at this point and within a month of Christian brothers replacing all the coils in spark plugs one of the coils burned out. I had a reputable mechanic replace it thinking it was just an oddity. Within a few more weeks 2 more coils were dying. My wife thought it might be transmission problems and took it to a reputable transmission shop they ran the OBD2 and it showed that the coils in a couple of cylinders were going bad. Within 10 minutes of that diagnosis my wife had the car to Christian brothers. at this point there ws 107,000mi on the car. She showed them OBD2 the report and they basically thumbed their noses at it and said they had to run their own even though it's the same report. This cost I believe around $160, for the exact same test. They were rather curt about it to her, at this point she was exasperated and took it back to the other reputable mechanic who looked at the report and said, yes I see. I had him just go ahead and replace all the plugs and coils again. When I went to Christian brothers to discuss this matter with them they said because I provided the parts they have no warranty even though on the Christian brothers invoice it clearly says "Christian brothers automotive guarantees proper installation of guest supply parts that are designed manufactured and suitable for the guests vehicle in its current condition." I provided the parts Ford sold me and CB agreed that they were the right parts. They (CB) failed to gap the plugs. My wife's car requires a 0.031 gap and CB left the gap at 0.060 and said not gapping is "industry standard". While that is a standard excuse maybe, the mechanic should have been astute enough to check to make sure that he was properly installing them. The over gap caused the coils to work twice as hard or more than they would have if properly gapped the new plugs, thus burning the plugs and damaging the new coils. Gapping is basic engine maintenance practice. When I used to do my own maintenance, way back when, that was the first thing I did...gap the plug properly. Christian brothers does not want to honor this warranty. I am only happy that their mistake did not destroy my wife's car engine. If CB as a company really stands by their own warranties, they should refund their charges and the cost of having them all replaced again because of their improper installation.

I really enjoyed the updated text from the technician every step of the way. My radiator needs replacing and CBA has an amazing turn around time. The shop is state of the art, the waiting area is peaceful and homely. You're clearly more than just money to Christian Brothers. Mathew Brown is a wonderful family man, with a kind heart and pure motives. You won't be taken advantage of when your vehicle knowledge is limited either. I can't say enough good things about a process we all see as stressful! CBA is the ' Chick Filet' of automotive repairs!

There was a slight mishap when pulling out of the service bay and they ran over the safety cone. However it didn't do any damage.

They have my trust and we even brought our other car back a couple of days later to be serviced.

There was no wait when I pulled in and the friendly employees changed my oil right away. They also checked the other fluids in my car and topped off the windshield washer fluid. They checked my air filter and told me I didn't need a new one. Yay for honesty because I would've never known the difference! They also replaced one of my tag lights for an additional $8. My total bill was about $80, including that $8 light, which is still more than I pay at the place I normally go to, but not enough to really make a difference.

I very seldom write reviews. I have been to this place a few times. The service is good but here's…read morethe issue. They now charge $10 to remove the skid plate. Gotta be kidding me. Looked at my other invoices and no such thing. Also I was told the charge was $81. Wow. I said well I have a $20 coupon. So if my math is right $20 from $81 equals $61. He came back with $71.27. I have never paid that much before. I am not cheap but don't try to scam me. He said well I took $5 off before that. Geez come on. Why didn't he tell me that before I was given the price and then asked him about the coupon. Anyway, they nickel and dime you to death. It's the principle of the matter. I'm not stupid Express Oil. I called another place and she said oh it will be $57. Wish I had known that.

Great experience . I had the pleasure of working with ALEXANDER, and I can't express enough just…read morehow patient , knowledgeable , and helpful he was in finding the best option for my particular situation . Then he had to leave as his shift ended while we were in the middle of getting things figured out on my available options, well after that my man Joe the service manager ; stepped in and not only figured out and finalized the absolute best option , better than I could've asked for , but he just went above and beyond even that awesome situation that both he and Alexander created for my particulate issue , I know this is a long review , but theee guys were just true gentleman. Also, I might add, they were quite busy during all this and in particular the second half of this when Joe stepped in to help , he was running the place by himself . Thanks a million y'all are awesome thanks and God bless y'all! I wanted to add additional comments that I Almost forgot, not to anyone's fault but my own because all these guys certainly made. Memorable impression on me tonight. Kenny also was a gem He actually was a big part and helping us find the tire that we originally thought didn't exist after thinking it did exist so he came in with the clutch and he was just a great guy. Super knowledgeable super friendly, cool cat very happy to meet him and grateful for for his hard work. Then there's Chris young man's got white years of potential ahead of him. He's a young guy hustling around there doing work getting it done ,yes sir no sir ,hard to find that in his generation if I'm quite honest, not that I'm really old but I'll say that I got the pleasure of talking to him for a while too and he is a heck of a kid heck of a man really And he's going places they need to look at him for potential of moving him in some managerial position. Whenever time comes should he want that. If nothing else all these guys deserve a little bit of a raise I know Pep Boys has the money you wanna keep good employees pay a little bit more a little bit goes along way too. Things aren't cheap these days. You gotta keep good help around and if I was Pep Boys, I'd want to keep all these guys around. It certainly would improve their lives greatly, and affect Pep Boys, none if there is any of these guys pay all their pay but that's my two cents what do I know? I'm just a successful small business owner. Anyways, that's that it's a long review. Hope people read this and understand what the deal is now sometimes when you come in here they might be slammed. They might've had a bad day, so be patient that's with anywhere you go understand that they've got a lot of things that tie hands up and all they wanna do is get the best thing for you, so if you need to have some get some patience, but most likely you won't run any situations where you'll need those cause these guys will certainly take care of y'all. Peace and love to all, be goor to each other and yourselves.

The manager, Brad, called, explained the situation, and offered a service voucher to help make things right. He was professional and respectful on the call, and I appreciate that they addressed my concerns quickly. While the price difference wasn't completely refunded, I'm satisfied with the response and their effort to resolve the issue. Overcharged and pressured for repairs I never requested I went to Mavis Tires & Brakes in Daphne, AL for a basic tire and oil service after being quoted $321 "out the door." When I picked up my vehicle, the bill was over $100 higher than the quote. Staff blamed a "call center mistake" but refused to honor the original price. They also printed a repair estimate for nearly $5,000 worth of additional work that I never asked for, claiming someone had "verbally authorized" it -- which was completely untrue. On top of that, parts of the job were incomplete when I got the vehicle back. They didn't put spare tire back under my vehicle like I asked and no oil change sticker was applied or updated. I've contacted Mavis corporate about the overcharge and false authorization, and I've filed a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. Be careful here !! You might be paying for more than you get!!!
