Christian Brothers Automotive is professional, informative, friendly and persistent. Jerome was very helpful in taking care of what ended up being lightning strike damage to my daughter’s car. After an extensive and thorough repair process, Jerome persisted with the insurance adjuster regarding the electrical damage having been caused by lightning. The communication from Christian Brothers exceeded expectations as other locations are wholly unresponsive. I will refer anyone who needs automotive care to Christian Brothers. Another perk aside from their professionalism, friendliness and expertise is they offer a military discount. Thanks again guys for taking such good care of us!
I had the oil pan gasket replaced and at other places I got highly inflated quotes and a 3 day time line. AT Christian brothers I got a fair quote with a great explanation and got the car back the same day. Also everyone was super friendly.
I had Christian Brothers recommended a few months ago from an auto parts store. Ive used them now 5 or 6 times on all my vehicles. Theyre fast, friendly, and fair with pricing. A few times, the repairs were cheap and easy. Other times, the repairs were a little more extensive but they provided photos and a detailed explanation of what was needed and gave me options. Its rare that I fully trust an automotive shop but theyve earned my trust.
I was in a hurry to get my inspection done and was I lucky to find this place so close to my new house. Kind and courteous, customer service was excellent when I called and in person. The waiting area was super clean and comfy. I walked to Young Hustler’s Coffee Shop so I didn’t have to wait and I received a call that my car was ready before my food even came out! Thanks, CBA!
Very friendly. Detail inspection Report with photos even for a simple oil change. Very honest for the findings and recommendations. No push, no pressure at all. Treat customers very well.
Philip and his team took great care of my car and me when I visited this location for a road trip inspection. I got detailed information with pictures showing what was needed and what was recommended. They made it a really enjoyable process and I definitely recommend this location.
Needed a state inspection, called and spoke to Phillip (sorry if spelt wrong) and he gave me great customer service over the phone. When I got there, Jerome took care of me and he was helpful and nice as well. First time there, will be coming back. Thank you guys!
Came in for a state inspection everyone here is very kind and helpful. They give you complementary coffee and it’s very clean inside. Give them double thumbs up
Ive used this Christian Brothers for years for all my vehicle needs and state inspections. They are always very friendly, from the initial phone call to make an appointment to cashing out. They are always honest about the time frame it might be, offer to give you a ride, or coffee/water if you are sticking around. They keep me coming back!
The people at Christian Brothers were awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Took care of my cars needs expeditiously
I appreciate how detail oriented the guys are. Very knowledgeable about things that are going on with your vehicle. Reason for the 2star rating, I dropped of my vehicle with a working battery. Even got a great battery reading from AutoZone the day before I dropped it of there. I picked up my car, battery was completely dead! Car wouldnt even turn over. Asked them hey what happened to my battery, they got very defensive about the issue! We didnt do anything to your battery, Im not sure why its dead was what I was told. They had to give me a jump before I could even leave. I got charged for an oil change, when I told them I had just got an oil change the day before I brought the car there. They took it upon themselves to do another oil change, that didnt fix my issue! But I was still charged. Not all business is good business to say the least! Dodged a bullet, saved myself thousands by doing my own due diligence.
Friendly, fast, professional service! Went above and beyond to take care of my vehicle and help me get on my way quickly. Highly recommend!
I came in to get my yearly inspection for my registration. They are close to my house. Very professional and quick. I made it in time to get my registration renewed at the office.
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!Ive never had a mechanic shop actually make getting my vehicle repaired an ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE.I was stranded over an hour away from home after lunch on a Friday w/ a broken truck. (water pump, belt for power steering, air conditioner, etc.) They expedited every order, contacting multiple vendors to see who was quickest; they even sent a mechanic to get one part bc it was faster. They got me out of there w/in hours and went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure I was comfortable while I waited. Not only did their PRICE BEAT COMPETITORS but their Guarantee is pretty great too!
Came here after noticing a leak and taking to an oil change place that said it was my transmission. The oil change place never put the cap on the oil which made a mess that Christian Brothers cleaned free of charge. They informed me in a timely and incredibly professional manner that I had a transmission leak that was quite pricey to fix. Jerome talked me through how we can plan for this fix because it wasn’t urgent, but definitely necessary for the future. I know some places would’ve scared me into immediate service just to get my $$. 10/10 recommend. Super professional and friendly personnel and very informative process.
Had the absolute best experience getting my car inspected at Christian Bros. Automotive- waterside in Richmond, Tx!! Philip helped me from beginning to end and is by far one of the nicest, most pleasant people Ive had the opportunity to work with! I highly recommend going here for any of your vehicle needs!
Came in with check engine light and thermostat alarms going off at 7am. They drove me home after check in and got a diagnostic run by lunch. Very well communicated with pictures, needs and general recommendations. Text system alerted me to car status. Jerome and rest of front staff were up front and not pushy about anything. Went great.
Never going back again. It was the first and last time i went there. I always go to dealership for oil change but since they were taking a lot of time, i decided to give this location and company a try. Heard a lot about them. I went there to get the oil change. Gave me the price and i agreed. After 20 mins, the salesperson who was handling me came with bad news saying that i have to replace the oil filter cap because its broken. Further added that it was too tightly closed that when technician tried to open it broke. On top of that, the sales person was making excuse like it was not their fault saying that its plastic, its worn off after some time.Just tell me one thing, i been going to dealership to get oil change since i bought the car in 2014. Never ever had that problem. Salesperson took me to technician to show it and technician saying that plastic get hot and cold thats why it worn off. Come on you should have just admit that it was your mistake.Once this was done i asked them that is there any alternate and i was said no. I had no other option to buy a new one which they don’t had the plastic one instead they charged me for the metal one which added extra $$$ on top of oil change. Glad i know now how dishonest they are. Never ever going again and won’t recommend others also. Just go to dealership and save yourself a headache.Update: 08/16/21I have emailed my response and i would highly suggest that please check you cameras because whatever you telling me happened completely opposite of it.
Jerome is my new best friend. I took my Mercedes there for plugs, brake fluid change and to clean out the fuel injection system. Jerome was friendly and knowledgeable. It is hard to trust a vehicle service center, but it is not hard for me to trust this one. Between my Jeep, my old Cadillac, and this used Mercedes, I have used Christian Brothers for many years. I have never had a bad experience. Thank you for all you do and thank you for being so close. I will use you for many years to come.
Phillip and Jerome were super nice. Came here to get my stat inspection on a whim and they were like just let up know when you plan to walk in and we’ll give you an estimate time. Phillip welcomed me nicely, and told me how long it would take. Very friendly fast service only took 25 min
They are very professional and really kind when discussing the needed or suggestive repairs while not being too pushy.
Very professional and courteous. They made me feel as if I was a family member, visiting Christian Brothers. Jerome, the service advisor has a great sense of humor.
Gentlemen at the front were friendly and helpful. Lobby was a decent size. During these times, it is enough to hold 3 separate parties. If you feel uncomfortable waiting inside, there are plenty of shops within walking distance to explore. There is a child playing area in the corner, which was helpful in distracting my baby while my state inspection took place. There is sanitizer at the front for disinfection after. Complimentary water is offered if you choose to wait, and another bottle awaits in your cars cup holder once youre ready to go. Great experience, and would highly recommend to those in the area!
Great friendly environment and staff. Quick and efficient service! Will definitely come back.
Great quality of service. Always willing to explain the repair and explain with pictures and description.
Very personable staff. Inspection was done very quickly for both of my vehicles.
Staff is great. They did all of the requested work in a short period of time and it was done right the first time. They listen to all your concerns and do a thorough check of the vehicle to find the problem. I have been using this location for over a year and am extremely happy with the service I have received.
Great service and communication. After first time at the CB garage I had a problem with the vehicle. Christian Brothers towed my van for free and performed the repairs in a single day. These subsequent repairs were unrelated to the work done there the first time.They have an excellent warranty covering their work and parts. A great added security which will have me going back to them for any further repairs.
Great customer service! Team was very professional and courteous. Car was completed on time, as promised.
Excellent and professional service! The best in the area by far.
Jerome was outstanding in assisting with my vehicle that needs engine replacement. My only issue was paying a $235 price for them just to tell me it needed work. I took another vehicle here previously and paid $50 for a diagnostic. I thought they could’ve done a better job waiving part of that fee especially because I will be giving them more business. However, overall I appreciate the customer service and professionalism.
Staff is very dishonest. Convinced me to bring my car here for a prompt same-day service. 4 days later they still have my car and are not being sincere nor transparent about the fact that they are understaffed and unable to properly manage parts procurement and inventory.The entire crew seem highly unprofessional and as a first-timer to this shop, I’m not bringing my car back here a second time. “We will call you” seems simply likely a tactics to have you leave your car at their shop, while they they write you a giant bill, and then don’t deliver until several days after.*This is about LISTENING to the voice of your customers. IF you are unable to deliver same-day service, simply own up and say so upfront so customers can go explore a different shop, and not beat around the bush. Make Jerome the MANAGER of this shop and save your business.
In and out in good time. Service was impeccable plus the waiting area was clean and welcoming. Will be back for me when i need their service.
The level of customer service they delivered is beyond any shop I have ever been! Will never go anywhere else for any of our vehicles! Their attention to detail is outstanding!It all began when I called the shop on Friday to inquire about my car being long overdue for a oil change, as we were heading out for the weekend. Jerome answered, was easy to talk to and completely understood my concerns, and was ready to make things happen to get me on the road as scheduled. He did not guarantee such, as he was honest about the lunch hour that was upon us with staggered labor force that may cause delays. He set realistic expectations with this transparency.Upon my arrival, everyone was welcoming and friendly. He began to collect the vehicle information, owner details, then proceeded to pop the hood. Explaining the entire time, fielding my questions, he informed me of the oil color as he showed me and agreed the weekend trip would be ok, as long as it was taken care of the next week. A Monday afternoon appointment was made.Upon my return that following week, they had me in and out in an hour. The staff was beyond mannerly, friendly and on point. When the car was ready, they brought the car to the door. They did offer a discount coupon for next time, as they said they didnt havent done at the time they had said, but trust me it was on time! As I hopped in the car, and placed my handbag in the passenger seat I was pleasantly surprised with a cold bottle of water courtesy of Christian Brothers.Working in the city, and living out here, my car services were either dropped of close to the office, relying on colleagues for a half a day, or on Saturdays. There would be zero interaction, unless they were trying to upsale you. Overall this was the best car service experience I have had to date, and trust me I have had a ton of car services in my days!
Amazing group of professionals, made my difficult time easier and took time to explain and work with me while I was out of state.Highly recommended!!!!Blessings Guys..
I had the following replaced on my Honda Accord: rear control arms, carrier bearing leak, real wheel bearings. Christian Brothers got me in quickly, were very accommodating, knowledgeable. They explained the estimate and repairs needed for my car. I would highly recommend them!
No sense of time management but they are very nice. Won’t be back unless I have nothing better to do that day and don’t need my car and have a day or 2 off.
Excellent customer service . Fair price
Transmission was slipping a little, told me I needed $3800, new transmission. Charged me a $135 fee so they could tell me I needed a bunch of other unrelated things.Took car to a transmission shop, they checked all the factory software updates, did a complete transmission service and replaced fluids. $450 total, car runs great.
Great customer service experience. Went in for a state inspection. The front desk guys were awesome and friendly.
I have been fortunate enough to not need any car repairs before, so I don’t have the ability to compare this experience to another. With that being said, these guys were awesome. I had a check engine light that needed to be resolved before I could do my state inspection. I was able to get right in and instead of waiting around or having to plan for someone else to follow me and take me home, they offered a shuttle to take me home while I waited.Once they found the issue with my vehicle I was not just told about the issues, I was texted photos of the issues. With as many repair shops out there scamming people, it was great to have photos sent to backup what was being said. Very transparent.They offered me coffee and water while I was in their lobby. Everyone was friendly.I hope I don’t need any repairs anytime soon. In the event that I do need a repair, I’ll be coming back.
Anytime I have any issues with my vehicle this is the first place I call. I know I will get an honest answer and not just somewhere trying to get over on me. The staff are amazing and eager to help. Michael is straight forward and honest with what needs to be done and he’ll be sure to give you the BEST price. Thank y’all so much for being there each time I needed guidance. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
These guys are awesome! Probably one of the only places Ive ever taken a car and felt totally comfortable with their recommendations and pricing. Michael was super friendly and personable and made car maintenance an enjoyable experience. Their texting system is really convenient and professional. Definitely recommend. 10 out of 10!
We received very professional service. Jerome is great at communicating and he is VERY knowledgeable. The price I got was fair for the service and I was out of there very quickly.
An honest mechanic brings peace of mind and generally a smaller bill too! These guys made a mistake when repairing my wheel hub, but then owned up to it, fixed the problem the very next day and even fixed something else they found with my car free of charge.
I called about having work completed on my truck. First they said bring it in, then said they cant complete the work. Very odd.
I have been going to CBA since I moved here 7 years ago. They explain any issues with your vehicle so you can understand what the problem is and what needs to be done. They are professional but personable. They have gone out of their way to help me when I have needed help. This is rare in today’s world so I will continue giving them my business.Dee Saucier
Excellent service! My first time using Christian Bros was yesterday and the customer service was impeccable!
Performed a thorough inspection, gave an accurate and competitive quote, and made all repairs in a timely fashion.Michael and Phillip, kept me informed of progress throughput the process. Affordable and honest auto repair shop. They will get all my future auto repair business. Highly recommended.
This is the second time I have taken my car to Christian Brothers, always with the same good results.They are fair, honest, and professional keeping me informed about my car progress via text and always friendly. I will continue to take my cars and recommend them to my friends and relatives. Thank you Reno, Technician MB and staff.Once again Christian Brothers Automotive-Waterside has done a great job when it comes to repairing my car again with good results. Performing Diagnostic Testing On The Check Engine Light and a PASS on the State Emissions Inspection. Michael was calling and updating me. Thank you Michael and staff.
My definite go to for automotive needs. Fast friendly service!
17 days now without my vehicle. I had to move towards having my husband communicate with them because I felt as if they didn’t take me seriously because I am a woman. My husband asked to speak with the owner and was informed he could email him:My wife brought her Jeep in to your location at Mason and the Grand Parkway on Thursday, 9/24 and it was diagnosed as having leaks in the rear main seal and oil pan. On Monday, 9/28 we were told the parts were in and they were working on it. We picked it up on Wednesday, 9/30 and when my wife drove it to work the next morning, there was a really loud humming sound anytime she went over 50 mph, it was shaking when in stop and go traffic, and when arriving to work she saw steam coming from under the vehicle. We returned with it on Thursday and Michael gave my wife the feeling she didn’t know what she was talking about until he went for a test drive with her. We waited until Monday, 10/5 until they were able to determine what they thought the issue was. My wife this whole time had to call to get updates because there was very little communication. They made her think that it would be ready Tuesday, 10/6 and we then found out that it wasn’t ready. I called Wednesday and Michael said there was another issue and they needed another part. He said the part was in stock so they would need it the rest of the day Wednesday and most of Thursday, but we would be able to pick it up that day. I called Thursday because we never heard back from Michael and Phillip said that the part wasn’t in and that it got held up in Dallas. Friday I called again because we hadn’t heard anything and Phillip said that they wouldn’t be able to finish and he would call us back late Monday.Our expectations with this company have been unimpressive and it feels that something is being hidden from us. We need answers to help us understand what is going on and when we should expect our vehicle back.
I forgot to ask for my AAA discount and they didnt remind me or ask if I have AAA. Third time in a row. Maybe they could just put it in their system so I could get the discount each time without having to remember to ask. They wont credit me for the $50.00 on the next service. I asked and was told thats not how it works.When I picked up my truck and drove off my low coolant light came on. I went back and asked why they didnt top off the coolant and was told that they dont give away coolant. They only add it if I get the radiator serviced.Ill probably go back to Kwik Kar lube on Fry Rd next time because the oil change service is more thorough, and I get a free car wash.Other than that the repair service is pretty good, so Ill return for that. :)
Very professional shop with a great staff. They completed the work on time and the final bill was less than the initial repair estimate.
Very friendly and prompt. They always go the extra mile as well.
Good service will return again
Everything was done in a timely manner and I was kept informed during the process
I was greeted and felt welcome. Excellent customer service.
Great staff, fast service and good prices. Oil change and Inspection were done, with a thorough going over of potential issues without pressure for extras that so many places do. Will definitely use them again.
Everybody was friendly and knowledgeable, truck was repaired in a timely manner. Couldn’t be happier.
The only place I’ll take my car, the guys there are the sweetest ever. They explain everything in detail and don’t put you in a position where you’ll waste your money if you don’t have to. I went in for an oil change and inspection, but ended up needing to get my tires replaced before I could pass. Instead of doing the inspection knowing I would fail, they let me know about it and I was able to replace my tires before I went the next day for the inspection. Perfect angels, love this place!
Quick an customer focused
This was my second year getting my vehicle inspection done here. ALWAYS Fast, Affordable, Friendly and GREAT Service!!!
Phillip Knotts Is a Great Automotive Manager Got My Car in and out fast For Oil Change They Changed the Bulbs as well as Told me when I should Return for My Next Brake Service Great Service Great People Great Attitudes Great Work Ethic Very Fast Very Good at what they Do I will Continue To Come here As long as Theyre here Why Because they are the Best At what they Do Yall Come see for yourself I promise You wont be Dissatisfied They will Take Care of you Like Family I Promise You.
I have been a customer of Christian BrothersAutomotive of Waterside for years they have gone out of their way to take care of this 75 year old lady’s car safe and road ready. I have sat in their waiting room and see their many satisfied customers come and go. Since I live close they also offer and have take me home then call me and pick me up when the car is ready. I highly recommend them. As have been in they automotive business for lots of years myself their prices and service is outstanding.
They communicated with us frequently as the part we needed was delayed due to COVID related shipping issues. They let us know of a special rate they have for a rental car. The car was fixed right, they explained the work they did. Great people, great customer service, great Christian business.
Great customer service!
Ive been going to Christian Brothers for a almost 10 years now and they have always been a big help and gotten me back on the road. The owner handles issues very professionally and with honesty. Ill continue bringing my vehicle to their shop.
Took my car here and had several repairs done, the day after picking the car up it started smoking and completely died. Super disappointing after spending so much money for repairs
Super nice guys - fast and professional
Promised to be done on Monday and they were. Professional work.
Excellent experience, worked with Michael. The new texting system and email with pics of parts needing replacement is excellent along with Micheals explanations made this a great experience. They did a great job, very happy with the repairs. I have a 2003 and it hasn’t driven this well in quite some time
Courteous staff and very professional. Helped me out a great deal. Above and beyond, highly recommend!
I have been going to Christian Brothers for quite some time, around 4 years. Everytime I go, the quality of customer service is always great and their quality of service is also great. I wouldnt change going to them for any other place. I love that they report back to you about your car and the inspections that they do, they send you pictures off he things they found and the recommendations of what needs to be done.
Great Place With Great Customer Service! My Service Advisor Was Michael and I would highly recommend him for all your service needs, I wouldnt trust my vehicle to anyone else!
I took my 2004 in for a brake job and the staff was very welcoming from the beginning! They talk to you and try to get to know you. Mike went out of his way to make sure that my vehicle was taken care of! My brakes feel great
The team were very professional and were honest with The assessment of my repairs. Quality job for a great price. I definitely would recommend them to everyone and I will be back.
Clean place and very friendly. Was offer a shuttle service to & from home complimentary while my car was worked on. Definitely be back.
Took my Volvo to their shop and the experience was beyond excellent! I highly recommend this auto repair facility. Honest and very reasonable.Ladies, if you’re tired of getting ripped off, go to Christian Brothers. You’ll be treated with respect and get an honest repair. A teacher from Oakland Elementary School recommends this shop!
These folks have always done good work at fair price. When I recently needed fluids topped off it was quick and no charge! When temps fall they set up an Express line for free air for tires. First class all the way.
I have been using Christian Brothers Automotive for over 6 years for all our automotive repairs and maintenance, they have treated us well and the repair work all have been great! They are honest, trustworthy, and reliable. I recommend Christian Brothers very highly!
You guys the best ever thank you for everything
Great friendly staff, excellent customer service with honesty and knowledge
Fantastic. Went above and beyond to make repairs
Friendly, honest service and reasonable prices. Will never take my car to dealer again for servicing.
Brought my car in to replace most of my AC system, I would definitely say is my best experience with an auto shop. They were very friendly and polite, and the warranty they offer for anything they do to your car is unmatched in my opinion.
Excellent service!! Very pleased with the work and attention to detail!! Great staff, very professional and courteous! Will definitely recommend!
It was nice 😊 did not have to wait long
I definitely recommend. They are very knowledgeable and kind. Good service!
Very nice group working there. I feel good about taking my car there. Ill definitely be going back.
I started using Christian Brothers about a year ago. The reason was this place generally had great reviews. My personal experience has been that Christian Brothers Waterside performs excellent service and great value for the money. They do not try to gouge you with services not needed or highly marked up parts pricing. They are very professional and their customer service is outstanding. I would highly recommend them over other automobile service places in this area.
My car literally started smoking and died the day after I got my service done. I mentioned various noises and leaks I was hearing and seeing after went to pick my car up however they told me that it was a result of other work they did and I may need to bring it back in to get additional work done.
Friendly service and clean office to wait in
It was quick and the salesman that helped me was professional and kind.
Great customer service and communication. Went over every detail and stayed with original quote. Took care of my Dads car like it was their own. Price was reasonable also. Will come here again should we need future repairs or service.
I went to this location for my vehicle inspection 2017 Toyota Corolla. This was done in a timely and professional manner. While I was still waiting, somebody walked to me and handed my keys over with the inspection paper. I then walked to the front desk to pay and he told me that there is nothing to pay. They inspected my car for free saying that it is because this is my first time of visiting the shop. Thank you guys. They will be the one servicing my cars going forward. I will also be happy to refer friends to them.
Top notch!! They work with me and my custom cars and daily drivers .. fast professional.. will continue to take my vehicles there
I took my car for an oil change today. Amazing service!! Very reasonable price. I definitely recommend doing your service over there.
Very good service. Got my car inspected in under an hour.
Needed a battery installed, they got me in and out with no appointment, very courteous and friendly. I will be back for regular maintenance on my car, sat and watched many regular customers come and go and all seem very satisfied!
