    I left with a $350 charge for an oil change and the replacement of one engine fuel filter, which…read moreretails for $40 but was charged at $125. While I understand the need for a labor charge, an $85 charge for labor seems unrealistic. Additionally, I found oil residue all over the hood, quarter panel, and rim, which will not come off. I am very unhappy with both the service and the price. Attached, you will find pictures of the oil residue. I would like to resolve this issue urgently. I am in complete disbelief that, after driving back to the location, they attempted to wipe it off and called it clean, yet there was still residue remaining.

    I went to Take 5 after they bought out Bolton years ago. It was so bad that I didn't go back even…read moreafter they offered me a free oil change. Bolton had been my go to for many years. Take 5 ruined them. I tried going back a couple years ago to see if they had improved at all and they were so awful that I left before I even let them work on my car. I went back again finally yesterday to see what's changed. I know, I know, I'm an idiot for giving them another chance. First, their prices are so high that I paid more for this oil change than I did for my last oil change somewhere else even though Bolton offered a $20 off coupon and even though I got an air filter last time. So I paid more for less even with a discount. That's how expensive they are. Then, everybody there acted annoyed that I was there. Nobody was friendly. They acted like I kidnapped their kids just because I asked how much it would be before I let them get started. They had the audacity to indicate on the paperwork that they cleaned my windows even though they didn't touch them. Same with the tires. They never touched them but claimed they were fine. Bolton always cleaned my windows while I was in line before I even got to the oil change. Bolton used to offer a drink while you waited. They most definitely didn't offer me a drink. To top it all off, they started sending me marketing text messages even though they never got my permission, which is super illegal. Any of you out there with litigation skills might consider a class action lawsuit for that. I don't know how this place has remained in business now 5 years after they ruined one of our best local businesses ever but we should all be ashamed for continuing to allow them to screw people over. BOYCOTT TAKE 5!

    I was in Lubbock from Hobbs for a doctor's appointment for my medically fragile, tracheostomy and…read moreoxygen dependent infant son when my car inexplicably sputtered out and died in an intersection. I am grateful to have been referred (and towed) to an auto shop that was willing to squeeze me in on an emergency basis, despite being busy and seemingly understaffed. The lobby and restroom were exceptionally clean, the staff was very professional and courteous, and they were kind and friendly and welcoming in person and on the phone with everyone I saw them interact with, despite being busy. They were quick to diagnose and repair the minor issue that had been caused by an incorrectly installed fuel filter, and got me and my son back on the road safely. Now: to talk to the place that did my last oil change.

    I visited Christian Brothers Automotive in Lubbock to get a full machine flush performed on my 2016…read moreChevrolet Colorado because of a common issue known as "torque converter shudder". The original factory fluid degrades and loses friction modifiers, which causes a slipping and shuddering sensation. I went in that morning and was quoted a little over $800 for a full machine flush. I originally stated it needed fluid for the 8-speed, which was incorrect; it needed a different fluid because mine has the 6-speed. It is cheaper, although not by much. I got an invoice later that day for an inspection and "transmission fluid diagnostic" for $150. They then went on to tell me the issue was my brake rotors, when it was clearly not an issue with the brakes. The shuddering happens when accelerating and shifting into 3rd gear, especially up inclines or after making turns. They do not listen to me and dismiss my reasoning, stating their tech is a 20-year qualified Chevy tech and knows what he's doing. Clearly, he does not, because this is an extremely common, well-known issue with many of these drivetrains. They stated the transmission was fine because they checked the fluid (which they charged me $150 to do, by the way) and said it looked fine. This specific issue cannot be determined by such a test, as the fluid appears fine on a test but is broken down microscopically and contaminated. I told them very clearly I would simply like them to do a full machine flush and call it good. They agreed. Later, I got an invoice for a "transmission fluid exchange service," which is NOT a machine flush, and it only replaces around half of the old fluid. They charged me around half of what the original quote had said, which was conveniently gone. They said it was because of the different, cheaper fluid. That fluid is slightly cheaper as previously stated, but not $200 cheaper. They copy-pasted the "11.2 quarts" of fluid it needs, which is the exact capacity and retrieved from a standard maintenance bulletin, into the new invoice and charged me for it all and only replaced around half of that. I tried to politely go in and state my case but was continually dismissed and lied to. I will never take my business back to this place and would recommend everyone else do the same.

    WARNING DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!…read more Took my Mercedes diesel van for oil change, and they put the wrong oil in it. (See pictures) David the store manager keeps ARGUING) not stating ( ARGUING) that they put the right oil in it. I got a flashing oil check light 30 miles outside of Lubbock, so I had to get oil replaced in post Texas. They did not have a filter for my van in Post and were not able to empty out the oil left in filter. When I got to sweet water, flashing oil light again so I bought the right oil and filter and got it replaced again! I was told that someone in corporate would be reaching out to me, but 1 week later nothing. Called store manager David at the Indiana location and he is giving me the runaround. They want me to take vehicle in again to do a scan check to make sure van engine wasn't damaged... I'm supposed to trust their diagnostic???

    Update * Owners response, WHY WOULD I PAY 125 when I always…read morePAY 60 at MIDAS I clearly went for the $20 deal. I did not choose anything this was the only choice I was given. The tech said my car didn't qualify for the promo because it's a speciality car that's foreign and it needs certain oil. I told him the ad only clearly stated being charged extra for more quarts of oil that it should still fall under there promo. So I didnt choose anything that was the only option I was given by the tech. 100 % dissatisfied, the ad/flyer is and was very misleading. The only thing stated is that it would be $20 unless it required more quarts. Nothing else in the promo that was ran for the grand opening. Woke up and drove from another town because I thought this was a great deal. Ended up having to pay 95 because they said the car is a specialty car. Regardless if it is or isn't the ad clearly stated 19.84 oil change for grand opening. Although they offered $30 off the total price of 125.74 thats completely misleading. What should have been $20 ended up being more than I would've paid at my regular oil change place. FALSE ADS/PROMOS. They def could have done way more or allowed for the price due to their negligence with providing false information in the ad or even not enough information to include specialty cars (genesis 2022). Had I known I was going to be charged more than 20 I wouldn't have driven to a different town, but I already made a drive and in line so I was just forced to pay the price.
