Not that I want any car trouble, but I would look forward to working with this business again. Wonderful phone communication and in person experience was great. Wheel stud was fixed quicker than they estimated. FYI there is a Starbucks to visit nearby while you wait.

This place should be called The Honest Mechanic. Ive taken four different family vehicles here, never been anything but happy with the work & price. They do a professional inspection & offer beyond fair pricing for higher quality parts than most competitors. They dont try & replace parts that still have life left, and they communicate clearly. Thank God for this kind of small, honest business.

Great service! Such a pleasure to work with. They fit me in, communicated so well, didn’t haggle on price, very honest, and I was very pleased with my quote and the work done on my truck. They will always be my go to on brakes. Thank you, Brakes For Less!

High quality and honest brake a suspension service. These guys will never try to oversell. If you have plenty of life left in your brakes, theyll tell you. Have gone there for all my brakes jobs on my current and kids cars and just recently have them replace shocks in my minivan that were about to fall off. Great bunch of folks.

Joshua and Joe were great. These guys could not have been more accommodating, straightforward, cheerful, and polite. And the best part? They didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need! But you can be sure that when time comes that I do, I will bring my business back to them.

Joshua and the crew at Brakes for Less are great people. They’re very professional, quick and honest. I would totally recommend them to anyone who wants a quality job done at an affordable price. I always trust a business that has dogs around and their dogs are sweet and well behaved. While I was waiting, I listened to a conversation they had with an older gentleman that had come in. Their attitude was very respectful and genuine. Don’t hesitate to trust them with your car.

I can’t recommend these guys more! Josh and them were so personable and nice. My breaks went bad FAST so I needed to get in quick but I needed it to not cost me and arm and a leg like some shops.... they were able to get me in for an inspection and new breaks all the next day. Really awesome people, super great work, and very fair prices. (And they have the cutest shop dogs I’ve ever seen!🐾)

These are great people. Wish i remembered the name of the guy at the front desk, he was super nice and genuine. Got my front cv axles changed here on my Matrix and they gave me a good price and great service. Ill be recommending them to anyone in town. Trustworthy, good value, great job.

These guys are amazing.I brought my car in last year to have the brakes done as I knew it was getting close and after inspection, they kindly called saying I didn’t need brakes yet and didn’t feel the need to perform an unnecessary service. Most places would have done it anyways.I did finally need new brakes and they were kind, professional, excellent communication and way cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere. I would highly recommend brakes 4 less as these guys are awesome!!!

Company is quick to take your money, and extremely complacent when things go wrong. I had a complete break job done. Fast forward a couple weeks, and my breaks are squeaking louder than a city bus in Harlem! Despite dropping my truck off repeatedly for them to “look” at it, nothing has been done. I try to keep my business local, but in this case I will take it to les Schwab‘s and be taken care of like a valued customer!

Review №13

I needed brake repair on my Jeep, called the shop and discussed what I thought needed to be done. After a discussion I was given an estimate range based on the need to review my vehicle. I received an appointment for the next day for a review and final estimate. The estimate came back within the range we discussed the day before and the work was done within the time frame estimated and after a few hundred miles there are no problems. I am very happy with the job and price.

These folks did a job for $100 that other places were trying to charge me at LEAST $150 for. Fast, friendly and down to earth. I wish other mechanics places operated like these folks.Their big beautiful dog, I think its a mastiff (they keep him/her safely behind the counter) popped its head up to say hi, too. Pretty rad 😁

Review №16

Watch out! I got all 4 rotors and pads replaced, drove home to Minnesota and took my car in because of the weird noises it was making. One of the tires was ready to fall off (literally) and another was close, plus the bolts on the calipers hadnt been properly attached. This is mechanics 101 that these guys totally blew.

This is the place to go. Stop wasting your money at the big franchise shops and dealerships. These guys will take care of you for a fraction of the price and they back up thier work! Ill never go anywhere else for brakes

Review №22

These guys were able to get me in immediately when I called. I needed to get my rotors turned, due to violent shaking on downhill braking. Ive had work done here before and was really pleased with the price for the work, and felt it was a highly honest price, compared to getting stroked by car dealerships. So my rear rotors were in really bad shape and needed replaced. I got bot replaced, labor and all for $335 on a full size chevy truck. I would highly recommend CO Brakes if youre looking for good work and a honest deal.

Review №24

Our brakes needed replacing so we called a couple places including the shop we take all our cars to for servicing. That shop quoted a price nearly double what Brakes 4 less quoted. Brakes 4 less was able to get us in same day and in a short time our truck was ready to pick up.They tried to machine the rotors but were unsuccessful being the rotors were too far worn to continue to use. They offered to replace the rotors but were unable to do it that same day. When we brought the truck back they didn’t charge us for additional labor and upgraded the rotors to a higher quality.I really feel like these guys care about their clients and are willing to do the best brake service at the lowest cost. I will continue to use them for future brakes needs.

Review №28

This is the way a business should operate! I went in for new brake pads because another mechanic told me that my brake pads were nearly worn out and when I took it to This place they let me know that my brake pads were still 60%, and I wouldnt need anything else. I offered to at least pay for an inspection but they refused payment. I didnt even know that places like this still existed in 2020. I would trust my vehicles to them anytime And I will for sure be back the next time I need any break work on any of my vehicles.Pro tip: If you are waiting for your vehicle to be finished here, run across the street to Dandys and enjoy a great burger.

Review №37

Went in without appointment and they replaced my brakes very quickly. Their work was perfect and the price was less than half of what Ive previously paid elsewhere. They found some more work to do but didnt pressure to sell me more. Since the pricing was great, I had them do it (it did have to be done). Ill be back when my other car needs brakes, and I definitely recommend. Thanks guys!!!

Review №42

Jeff is a trustworthy experienced brake mechanic who has a passion for doing great work .Very gracious with my schedule and my appointment change . He genuinely has the customers interest at heart! I recently brought my Mazda in and he recommended I check with Mazda because he was aware of a extended warranty for the vacuum brake boaster problem Mazda was having. Now that is Integrity !! My previous experience with Jeff was all good. He is a good communicator and will give you the straight scoop of what you need vs what you dont need. I had a great experience from start to finish! He showed me the old parts so I got a good visual of the need for replacement parts. I also made a follow up visit and he was happy to double check my master cylinder and he even made sure my brakes were bled correctly which they were. Then he offered that I could come back in a few months just to check brake fluid levels and everything else ! Highly recommend !

These guys are the BEST in Central Oregon. Weve taken multiple vehicles in for inspection and repair. Each time Brakes for less has been easy to communicate with, offers great customer service, and does the job quickly and for a reasonable price. Theyve won us over and we wouldnt consider taking cars anywhere else!

Review №49

This company is the best! My brakes were in serious need of repair. I dropped in on a Saturday morning, and less than one hour later, my brakes were fixed (with two year warranty), and I was on my way. The shop fee was beyond reasonable compared to what I have paid at the dealership before, as well as the local tire store. Lastly, the gentlemen I dealt with were kind, engaging and helpful. Highest recommendation.

I just had a total brake brake job plus calipers done for less than the local dealership or local tire store quoted for rear brakes only. They were up front, professional, and fast! I was called by the owner and the technician with updates.Don’t take your brake work anywhere else! This shop is the best I’ve found anywhere. Really impressed! Thanks guys!

Review №52

While travelling the country in my 2001 GMC Yukon towing my 6,000 lb. camper I knew the rear brakes were grinding metal to metal.I stopped in and Jeff gave me an extremely reasonable price including a military discount for replacing all 4 rotors and installing high performance pads with a high performance fluid flush and replacement.There was no pressure to purchase the additional high performance option but rather he explained that pulling 6,000 lbs. would generate less heat with that option.My appointment was early and the staffs treatment of my concerns and their personal attention to answering my questions was knowledgeable and professional and the work was done in 2 hours.I highly recommend this business not only for the price but for the friendly atmosphere of the entire staff. Thank you!

Review №53

So I took my car into the local dealer to get my oil changed last week and was informed that I had 19% left on my front brake pads and less than 10% left on my rear pads. They also told me I had a blown front strut on the passenger side front tire. Total quoted repair was over $1375.00 So I decided to contact Brakes for less because I had been really happy with them in the past. I made an appointment and dropped it off to have them do the brakes as he quoted me over $100 less for better pads. After I dropped it off (and they gave me a ride to work) Joshua called me to let me know that I had 75% left on both front and rear pads and DID NOT NEED to have my brakes done!What an amazing company! I had them replace the front shocks and they again surprised me by saving me $75 on a front alignment that was not needed as well!It is rare to be treated this way by a service shop and would give them 10 stars if I could!!!!Thanks gentlemen and keep up the great, honest work.

A family business that greets you as soon as you walk in. The service employees will show you what the brakes look like if your interested. I was amazed how fast it took them to replace drums and brakes. They had the best prices from all the other stores. Ill be going back if I ever need new brakes.

Review №59

Fantastic people who know brakes inside and out. The prices are the best. They are fast and the job is done right the first time. I was quoted a brake job elsewhere for well over $500 and they did it for $250. A guy brought in a Porsche and was quoted well over $1000 and CO Brakes for Less quoted him $400. There is a thing called integrity and these guys know what that means. Every used car I buy, I take into them for a free inspection and they give me the straight scoop. I sent a friend in who was worried about his brakes on his new used car. They told him they had 25% left on the front, and come back in a few months for another inspection.

This shop was extremely professional. They did not talk down to me as if I had no idea what they were talking about like I have had at other shops. They were ready for me when I arrived for my appointment and had the truck on the lift in under ten minutes. Five minutes later they had the problem diagnosed and scheduled me for the next day. I dropped of the truck in the morning and they had it done in no time at all. They had quoted me a price but told me when I picked it up that it went faster than expected and their bill was 40% less than quoted, awesome!!! They also said you have 30% left on your front pads so you have some time left. Other shops would say you need new pads, not these guys, zero pressure sales. Could not recommend a shop more!!!! I will be back and will send all my friends their way. Thanks for what you do guys!

Owner was at desk when I told him that I was there to get front brakes done (Id been there before). He said he wanted to take a look at them first.He slid under my car peeked at the brakes and informed me there still was twenty percent left. DONE. No charge just a see you later... THATS an honest business.

Wonderful place, I thought I needed new brakes but come to find out they just needed lubed and touched up. So instead of charging me for the labor part they told me it was on the house and to comeback if I would in a years or so time when it might look like I might need brakes. Good people there, thanks.

I could not be happier than the service and experience I had at Central Oregon Brakes for Less!After going to Les Schwab I got a quote that they would have to replace EVERYTHING at a cost of $1000.I decided to get a second opinion and took my vehicle here.

Great peple bad service had them working on a 93 ford f250 for tripple A landscape..I told them it was locking up and might be abs module or somthing was not sure thats why I am hear.and I was told those things (abs module)never go (if they didnt then why do they make replacements.??)) bad .so I had them replace it anyways after the 5 times of bring it back and they said it probally wouldent fix the problem.so I had them do it anyways.(if they know it wouldent work why didnt they do what would work after all thats why I was their to find problem)so after having the truck back .it locked up and almost had to tow it back . I had to take it back 5 times before I throw in the towl EVEN ONE TIME IT SMOKED SO BAD WE HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT..We called and told them and they offered no tow and told us to drive it back down.we even showed them the video of it smoking . And still today it locks up when hot. .. then they got irritated with me .and basically told me it was all good. so even today it locks up under heat..and all this time still not right.. time is money.. I just wanted my work truck to work .and it was a work truck at that time..I found it ironic cause the time it took to take back 5 times I lost money from lost jobs cause they couldent do their evaluations correctly.. would be a great shop..sorry guys for this but its truth..
