I was given a long list of trivial things to fix. None if the items that were on my estimate had anything to do with the reason why my vehicle was riding so rough.

Went like clockwork. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Had issue that my durango would just shut off as I was driving down the road.  This of course was kind of dangerous.  I didn't want to go get it fixed because I thought it would cost a lot.  My dad made me take it in to Christian Brothers.  They diagnosed the problem and gave us a ride.  The kept in good communication with us throughout the day.  Replacing a couple small parts and reseting the computer only cost ~$300 dollars which I thought was reasonable, I didn't fee like I was completely being taken advantage of.  They also adjusted my air conditioning system for free (it was shutting off sporadically too).  Have had no further problems since the service.  The owner and employees are all VERY nice.  I definitely recommend them.

The front brake rotors needed replaced and I was able to view and agreed to the installation of brake rotors.  The outer tie rod end and sway bar rubber coverings (boots) were worn and broken and needed replacement.  I inspected and suggest just the boots be replaced. I was told it would be better and more economical in the long run to replace with new rod ends and sway bars.  I agreed, but after leaving my vehicle, I returned home and looked up the cost of the parts quoted by Christian Bro. and compared their prices to several auto parts stores, including Ford, Inc.  The Christian Bro. prices were approximately double Ford, Inc. internet prices and the part stores retail prices.  When I called Christian Bros. to discuss the issues, the response was basically sorry but that is the way it is, "lesson learned"  was the verbal response from the other end.  Bottom line, my car was repaired but I feel the total cost was unfairly inflated due to Christian Bro. markup on parts. I will return back to my long time used auto repair garage for future needs even though it is a bit more incomvenient.

The guys from Christian Brothers Automotive are very honest.

As always I drop by with a car problem and the great crew at Christian Brothers will fix it on the spot! Offers you a drink and down home conversation.

They are very friendly, and I can talk to a mechanic. The prices are reasonable.

I can't say enough good things about a skilled, honest mechanic - excellent hospitality is a bonus. The team at Christian Bros in Montgomery is top notch. It's a family owned/operated franchise based on traditional values; Jim, Martha and Jimbo go out of thier way to ensure that you are aware of whats going on with the vehicle being repaired and that you are comfortable if you choose to wait. The facility is very new and clean with a very nice reception area for customers. In the shop they used the right tools to diagnose the problem and have very modern equipment which is a real time saver - and I felt that really saved me money in the long run.  I knew with this shop I wasn't being charged extra labor because the problem was hard to diagnose. I would always take my vehicles to Christian Bros.
