I can’t speak more highly about this place. I came in here asking for new brakes and instead the mechanic brought me to the back showing me how to measure my brake pads and showing me that I had at least another year on them. They consistently give me a heads up on what I will need in the future for maintenance so I can plan ahead (eg a cracked serpentine belt and a minor oil leak) and I feel like they are the most transparent mechanics I’ve ever dealt with. Thank you, gentlemen!

From the diagnostic, to the estimate and finally the repair...this was a positive experience. The manager and his team know their stuff and provided excellent service. I will continue to use them for the our car repairs...they are so much more than brakes.

Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and honest. I love that when there are multiple things your vehicle might need that they discuss priorities and help you set up a plan for your car. They have taken care of our vehicles multiple times with excellent outcomes.

I am always skeptical of the service I receive anyplace I take my care. But I just say JOHN at brake masters is a breath of fresh air. They are honest and do good work. They are seasoned mechanics and are truly looking for your well being. Thanks John for reinstalling my faith in auto shops! And thanks for taking the time to work w me as an individual and not just a $dollar sign. Two thumbs up!

Called to make an appointment at 2:45 PM, was told I didnt really need one as they werent busy at the moment. Got there at about 3:10. Told John, the Store Manager, what I needed done and that I was on a fairly tight budget. After inspecting the car, John told me I would need new brake pads and strongly suggested a new rotor for the front right; he knew I was on a tight budget which is why the new rotor was a suggestion, not an absolute. Thankfully I was able to get the pads and rotor with what money I did have available. Big thing was that John didnt try to nickel and dime me to death, trying to get me to buy this and that or saying I absolutely needed something to get more money out of me because he knew I was on a tight budget and respected that.Total time there, inspection and brake pad + rotor replacement was about 2.5 hours.Great service, and John truly cares about his customers... while waiting he called someone who had work done that day; John called because he genuinely cared to hear the customers opinion on the work that was done!Would recommend going to this location, Store 138 on San Antonio, to anyone. Whether it be for brake change or anything else.Many thanks to the team at Brake Masters, I feel safe in my car again and didnt get charged an arm and a leg!

Good place for oil change w coupon. Close to work. Usually pretty fast! If busy, competition is 100feet away in the same parking lot. So if quickness and choice is of an essence, this is a place to be.

EXCELLENT customer service!! Hector went above and beyond for me to understand exactly what were my car needs and why it needed it. Without a doubt this man is very honest and is all about his customers. I hope you know I truly appreciate you!! Because of you I will be a returning customer for sure.

Review №25

The customer service was excellent! I couldnt have been more satisfied with the way I was treated by the employees there. But unfortunately, I picked my car up after the brake job was complete on a Saturday evening, just before they closed (& they arent open Sundays), so it made it impossible for me to take it back for them right away to re-check the issue Im experiencing. Once I get ahold of them I will edit this review, either better or worse...

With John as Manager, this particular shop has taken care of my car for many years. John is the best auto mechanic I have ever come into contact with and I can recommend him and this shop very highly. They have done an excellent job keeping my car in top shape. John is also very courteous and extremely honest and professional in all respects.

THE GREAT 1. They will work on Foreign Cars for normal prices 2. They will let you bring your OWN PARTS 3. They do a WIDE variety of jobs 4. Best prices in ABQThe BAD: Ask price first, know the job you want. They will try to up sell you on preemptive maintenance. Know your car and what you need.. always & anywhere you go.... GREAT PLACE

Ive used this location for both of my vehicles for many years and have always had exceptional service. The Manager, John, is the best. I never feel pressured to make a purchase when they make recommendations which is unique in this industry!

Review №31

The absolute worst place for customer service. Jon the manager is the worst of the worst. Had my brakes done less than a year ago, and started having issues. So I went in, and he went on to say his guys didnt do their job last year and didnt fully complete the job. As soon as I started asking why questions, he started treating me like the dirt on his shoes. Do not go there! Take your business to someone who will actually care about your business and will do the job the CORRECT way. Hector Sanchez is the coorperate person for the area, and he does not answer any phone calls, let alone call you back to fix your concerns. This business is a joke.

Went here about a month ago for an oil change and tire rotation. Though for an express place I thought the 45 minute wait was a bit long, the real problem came when the guy working on my car said he could not do the tire rotation because my tires were warped from bad shocks, and thus it would cause a very bumpy ride. I found this odd right away because my car rides very smoothly not indicating any shock problems. Regardless I took his word as the expert and he wrote up a quote for replacing the shocks and it was around $1,000 and encouraged me to set up an appointment very soon to avoid driving problems.As a young female with no car mechanic knowledge, I know I can easily be taken advantage of. Thus I took it to a local autobody shop with excellent online reviews for a second opinion. I asked them to check out the tire system, but did not mention the diagnosed problem from Brake Masters. The mechanic mentioned some wear on the shocks and that they would need to be replaced in about 3 years! I had them go ahead with the tire rotation that Brake Masters refused to do... and amazingly the ride is smooth... not bumpy as predicted.So I save $1000 for another few years and will not be returning to a place where I will be taken advantage of. In fact I will be paying a bit more to take my car to this local bodyshop for even just oil changes because I found them honest and trustworthy.

Dont go to brake master they will make you wait and take customer that came after you before you for the same service. They will not let me give them no stars or negative stars or I would

Review №38

Unfortunately, this place has a tendency to lie about what services are needed. Went in for an oil change and tire rotation, was told that we needed to replace two filters and that the tire rotation was impossible due to a nail in the front left tire and that we needed to go to a buddy down the road to get new tires. We ended up at a Meineke who was able to do the rotation after discovering that there was in fact, no nail.Basically, only go here if you want to be lied to for their profit.

Review №44

Not Super Impressed.Heres Why:1) I had the Brake Masters $19.95 oil change coupon. I drove to this location, and a guy who looked like a homeless person was sitting just outside the car bay, sort of glaring at me. I asked him if he was a mechanic, and how long an oil change would take. He was kind of snotty and said, About as long it will take you to drive around the other side and fill out paperwork2) John mans the phone...the entire time. John was kind of abrupt, and seems to be the guy who looks for parts, but he also wants to act as the greeter. His assistant seemed hesitant to man the front while John was on the phone.3) The $19.95 oil change doesnt apply to my car. What a surprise. In fact, the person behind me got the same spiel. So with the coupon, the oil change ran about $35.00, almost double the price of the coupon4) They wanted to pressure me to buy an air filter. John was on the phone, but quoted me $27 for one. When I told him Id just pick one up at Napa and do it myself, he wanted to know how much Napa wanted for an air filter. Not impressed5) Once they finished the oil change, they automatically put the mileage to revisit them for my next oil change at 3000 miles out, even though no new cars need changes that frequently. At Jiffy Lube, they always ask me when I want to be reminded.Overall, the service is kind of so-so, and the price wasnt great, which is what got me in there either. I also didnt appreciate the high pressure to buy add on parts at exorbitant prices. Napa sells their gold air filter for $15.95, and its a cinch to install. I wont be going back to this location

If you dont fall for their sleezy sales pitches they treat you terribly. At this point Im doubting they even changed my oil. I went to this location because it was closer to me, but that proved to be a mistake. If you want to go to a decent Brake Masters, Id suggest the one on Menaul and Wyoming. At that one, they dont try to pull any of those sleezy sales ploys that you expect from mechanics. They also respect you just as much if you use a coupon and get the bare minimum as if you spent $500. Avoid this place if you want good customer service.
