took it to the shop,charged me 130 to diagnose ,then said to be sure for my warranty company 400 more to remove water pump WOW!,Chris Huber is the manager who got very nasty with me when i decided to move my car to a better facility told me it would be 1700 and change to fix the car, overcharged hours and price on parts the same job at the dealership was only 1300, the hourly rate at christian brothers is 130 while the dealership is 122 go figure huh, look at all the bad reviews on Yelp, they dont lie overcharging misdiagnosing, car issue etc, they christian written on the building to get you in yet there prices are way overblown, billy lowerys in pasadena is a great shop there rate is only 110 per hour and they have way more qualified ASE mechanics in there shop plus they diagnose for 75 NOT the 130 christian bros charges if you look at the reviews mostly bad on Yelp the owner Andy Miller gives the same bland reply, he didn't even take the courtesy to respond to my email,i also left a review on ther own website which Chris the manager told me he removed so all you will see on there website is positive as they control what is being said, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT THIS FACILITY READ ALL THE REVIEWS CAREFULLY
Response from Christian Brothers Automotive Space Center Blvd
"Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am going to respond to every negative review that you post on your personal vendetta against my business with the truth! You are upset because the extended warranty that you chose did not approve the repair on your water pump. Your warranty company sets the guidelines that we follow and notify you about what is a covered repair and what is not covered. Your warranty company suggested that we remove the water pump to inspect, and if the water pump had a shaft failure, then the warranty company would approve the work order to repair your water pump. But the removal and inspection was not covered by the warranty company. This removal and inspection would have to be approved and paid for by you. If the water pump had an actual failure that was covered by the contract you purchased, then the warranty company would have paid for the entire repair. When my service manager notified you that your warranty company had declined your claim, you became irritated and argumentative! You then challenged my service manager's faith and integrity. You then threatened us with dragging our name down with your negative reviews in every platform you subscribe to! You said you were even going to talk to everyone in our small community to tell them how non-Christian we are and how we have no integrity! You challenged the shop claiming that we are not Christians and we are just trying to make money off of our name! Which is absolutely the furthest thing from the truth. You sent emails last weekend with accusation directed at me! I called you this morning and tried to explain the situation concerning your extended warranty and you just grew more and more irritated! I continued to try and explain the situation, but you started to holler and challenge my personal faith and integrity again! Then you hung up! We are here to serve our customers, we are not perfect there has been a few times that my shop has fallen short As the owner I try to fix these situations quickly. Call me if you have questions Andy"

They changed the oil in my truck and had my battery replaced. I was very pleased with the work and experience at Christian Brothers.

I loved the service I received. The news was not good about my repairs, but I feel they were very upfront and honest. Honesty and car repairs don't always go together in our world today. I received awesome service even after I decided not to have the repairs done. My entire electrical system went down. I could not even get into my trunk to get to my things inside. Nothing electrical would work. The owner himself, along with almost every employee there was trying to get into my trunk! Never got it open, but the guys attached things together until they were able to reach everything from the small access behind the backseat! They went way beyond the call of duty in all this heat! And, they even helped me to find someone to buy my vehicle even though it was not their problem to deal with. I cannot recommend them enough! It was so refreshing to deal with the guys at this repair shop! It will be the first place I will go should the need arise again.

Good place. I didn't have to wait too long. There wasn't high pressure to spend. When I got a brake estimate, they did want to replace all brake parts for over $900. I had th brakes fixed for about $450. elsewhere, but all parts were not replaced. The brakes work fine. Having said that, I would go back to Christian Brothers again, just being careful to get another estimate/opinion.

I took the car to this shop based on the reviews on Angie's List. They told me the fuel level sensor could be replaced without replacing the fuel pump module. It is true that it can be done this way but I have since learned it is not recommended. Soon afterwards the check engine light came on and a strong smell of gasoline filled the car. The computer diagnostic code was for a loose gas cap but that did not fix it. I took the car back to them and they came up with over $800 of items that need fixed but only $460 of that pertained to the fuel issues. The mechanic determined the evap vent valve and new fuel cap needed replaced. This repair had failed to solve the problem but did reduce the fuel smells. We brought the car back to north Texas and had a local Christian Brothers shop look at it. They replaced the fuel pump module at no cost to me. The explanation I was given was that it is nearly impossible to get the old module to reseal to the fuel tank once it has been removed. This solved the check engine light issue but we still smelled gasoline inside the car. We returned it to the shop in north Texas and they discovered two of the four spark plugs were loose. Spark plugs do not just come loose. Another issue I have with the shop at 11600 Space Center Blvd is they charged for the computer diagnostic. Normally a shop will not charge for the computer diagnostic if you have them do the repairs. I do not know if this mechanic is crooked or just really bad. I do have one positive thing to say about them, they did provide a ride home and back to the shop when the car was ready but I will not use this shop again.
Response from Christian Brothers Automotive Space Center Blvd
"I am the owner of Christian Brothers Automotive Space Center and League City. I take full responsibility for the gasket failure to the member's daughter's car. When he took his car to Christian Brothers in Corinth TX for warranty, they contacted us to let us know about the warranty work that needed to be performed. My Service Manager Lance contacted me and I immediately told him to authorize the warranty repair. See our inter-company warranty is paid for by the original shop not the shop doing the repair. So this warranty repair was paid for by me and my store from Christian Brothers Automotive Space Center. WE followed up with the Corinth store to verify the completion of the repair and we believed that the issue had been resolved. I have never personally talked with the member or heard a complaint from him until we received this notice from Angie’s List. The issue concerning diagnostic charges, we are very open and up front about our diagnostic fees. Our technicians work on 100% commission and are paid for the time they work on cars. This diagnostic is an earned labor fee as the technician’s research, consult with manufactures technical support bulletins and the knowledge to repair cars. We stand behind our cars with a local and nationwide warranty which he had the right to and did take advantage of! I never flinch when it comes to taking care of our customers on warranty. Concerning the spark plugs, we never touched or had reason to remove or loosen the spark plugs. So then insinuation of us leaving them loose is not a valid statement. I promise you we are not “crooked” as he stated. We work very hard to maintain our good standings in our community and I encourage you to research hour reviews on Angie’s List, Demand force and Google. In response to his request for refund, I believe that we stood behind our warranty, I believe I have taken responsibility for an unfortunate failure of a gasket on a repair. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience and take responsibility for it. I hope our good standing will be supported by our willingness to warranty his automobile in an acceptable amount of time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me! Andy Miller Owner Christian Brothers Automotive- Space Center 281.487.8111"

I came into the place of business to get my starter replaced, perform a diagnostics on heater system and cruise control. Lance Cernosek, who is the service manager, came out to the vehicle to confirm all the necessary work needed on the vehicle. He provided a written quote for the diagnostic to be $179.78, which will determine the cause of the heater system malfunction and cruise control malfunction. I asked him for the quote for the starter motor replacement and our rapport started going downhill. The first written quote took 2 minute and I am happy with fast response, but, the second quote took more than 10 minutes. When he returned, his countenance had changed for the worse, he provided a verbal quote of $800 for replacement of starter motor with additional cost associated with possible damage of other parts as the mechanic replace the starter and these parts will be hard to find and replace. So, I replied in quote, "so, you don't think it's a good idea for you guys to repair this car?" Lance, said, "No, it just that your car is so old that these parts will not be easily available at the dealership for replacement, when they break." This Infiniti is a low mileage, garage-kept vehicle and nothing under the hood is old and falling apart. At this time, I am thinking to myself the following: Christian Brothers Automotive must not work on any vehicles older than 1997, which mean, my 1995 Lexus LS400 will not be a good candidate for repair, either. Also, my 1999 Infiniti, which is 14 years old, may not be a good candidate, either. If I am in the automotive repair business, I would welcome older vehicles (more things tend to break down) and just inform the mechanics to be more cautious in handling the car. I told him, "Let me think about it!" which is a nice way to say that, I am not coming back. Therefore, starting today, I will no longer support Christian Brothers Automotive and will take my business to somewhere else, where, they don't call my vehicle "old" and provide a good service. On a side note, I previously brought my Infiniti QX4 in to get CV joint replaced and they did a good job and had future plans to bring my Lexus in for repairs, but, Lance misjudged me and turned me off.

I brought the vehicle in to replace the CV joint on my vehicle. I was given a quote and the permission to start replacement.
The replacement was complete and picked-up the vehicle within 3 hours.

Christian Brothers Automotive Space Center location was convenient for us. The experience seemed fine. The car was suppose to be ready the same day but they weren't sure what part to use so the service wasn't completed until the next day.

There was a problem with the air conditioner of my car. I took it to another mechanic who did not repair it. I took it to the dealership but it was not done. I took it to Christian Brothers Automative and told them what I thought was wrong. They did a diagnostic and confirmed that I was right. It was about 4.30 in the afternoon and the next day morning I received a phone call at 9.30 saying the car was ready. That was very quick and I felt good. I don’t remember what I paid the other 2 people but the price I paid Christian Brothers was reasonable. They called me the following week to check if everything was okay. They have many branches but the one closest to my place was not listed in Angie's list. They were very good. I was looking for a mechanic I could trust and use always. I feel I have found them
