Matt and Chris at the brakes 4 less at 11073 Phillips Hwy in JAX were so honest and wonderful. I took in my wifes Audi A5 as there was a squeak in the brakes. I was ready to have new brakes, but they examined them, and told me they still had plenty of pad and wouldnt need replacing for a long time. Honest guys!Dave

I honestly love the service I received from this company. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need. They move in extremely fast-paced which I love. I was able to come and go within minutes. The customer service was excellent. Definitely visit this place if youre in need.

Great customer service. Manager James provided an inspection and cost before any work was performed and thorough explanation of the work that needed to be done, answered all questions. Very happy with the brake repair.

Went to get breaks done, should have been a bit over $300.00 dollars like there web site said. Came back with over 600.00 dollar. Said if I went and get all the parts labor would be 298.00...... and then didnt know were the closest auto parts store. Will never go back.

They advertise a cheap price ($179 for 4 break pads I think it was), but then charge you additional for labor and such. I did need new front rotors, which I new before going in. But the price went from 179 to 550 just to add the 2 front rotors and brake fluid change in. Not a terrible price compared to other shops i called in town. However, they were misleading on giving me a quote on the price, did not factor in labor cost in the quote, and did not factor in the cost of new rotors when asking for quote even though I told them I knew my rotors needed to be changed. Overall they did a good job, i just wish they were more straight forward about the pricing before I went in

Took my vehicle in for brake service & my car speakers were working fine, Matt was the technician, great break job but after the vehicle was done my speakers sounded like $h!t & now, my speakers barely work anymore. Don’t take your car here if you don’t want problems with your radio.

You want to meet someone that has a passion for their job, James Dugan is your man! Professional, polite, and made my issues his own. The price is the best around and they did not disappoint! I would rate 10 stars if I could, to say the least.

Came in for squeaky brakes. After free inspection James was completely honest with me and told me my brake pads were still good and the squeaking was being caused by a thin layer of rust on them. Didnt try to sell me anything i dont need. Honesty is hard to come by in this industry so I trust this shop with my future brake maintenance.

The manager James Dugan is very professional. He talked me through everything I was getting done and was honest. He explained why I needed what I did and what I didn’t need. The gentlemen in the back were very professional as well. Anytime they came inside they were very respectful. Overall an amazing visit! 10/10 recommend! I will go out of my way to make sure I continue to go to this location!

Found these guys via television advertisement. Best price in town, as advertised. When I walked in, the store manager was very helpful and friendly. They got the job done and had the car ready for me in less than 2 hours. Now I feel very safe and confident that my brakes are in good repair. Thank you all for the great service and keep it up!

I got there at 0930 and my appointment was at 1000 so I was a little early. He told me I needed brakes which having 50,000 miles I knew. He gave me the price which included everything with guarantee and They test drove it and only included tax and $13 for shop expenses. 1 hour I was out

If I could give 10 stars I would!I brought my Jeep in to get the brakes redone after another shop advised that it needed to be replaced. We came to Brakes4less for better prices and they were so honest and helpful! James advised us that everything was good to to go and practically brand new that it didnt need to be redone yet. He inspected everything without charging us a dime! We will definitely be coming back to support this business!

Normally, I do not write reviews; however, due to the exceptional service received, I had to write a review about the Brakes-4- Less on Philips Highway. The service was phenomenal. James Brown explained every step to me regarding the service and allowed me to ask as many questions necessary for me to understand what type of service my brakes needed. I will tell everyone that I know about their services and refer them every opportunity that I get.

I went to the Philips highway location and Wow! These guys went above and beyond. We went in on Wednesday for customer appreciation day. They gave me a quote for my brakes rotors and a bad caliper, and I decided to go with it! Things went a little slower for my appointment because when they were almost done they had to get a new part for a brake line that they discovered was almost dead, but they did not charge me for that, I just had to wait a little longer. Then they were all done and they drove my truck off the lot to test it out and one of our struts snapped from being rusted out(because the truck was a pool truck for many years). They were so kind and generous to replace this as well, all the while sticking to their original quote. I am not sure if they always do this, but this blessed me and my family so much during this time.They will definitely have my business in the future and I would highly recommend them for anyone needing a solid, honest Group of mechanics and business!While I was there(5 hours), they had 3 different happy customers in and out swiftly! Mine just took longer because of parts needing to get dropped off a few different times! I am so thankful for their service!!!

Amazing staff!! Robert and his team, Drew and Spencer took care of my cars rotors in less than 30 minutes (including two tests drives) and because I had the car in less than a month ago for my brakes wouldnt take a dime!They were extremely friendly and genuinely concerned that my car was correct before I left. They are true to their word and only want your car to be safe. I plan on encouraging all of my friends and family to use their services. Thank you for the smooth ride home.

Review №27

Went to San Jose BLVD location for my 8 a.m., to see James. Location was closed down so their customer service dept told me the appointment was at the Philips highway location. I therefore arrived a little late at 8.06 am and James told me he couldnt take the car as i was late! Needless to say i wasnt happy and asked why he couldnt have called to see if i was on my way.. no call, no contact to tell me the appointment location had moved, lack of respect for my time and then on top of that the mechanic comes out from under the car he was working on smoking a cigarette and gives me his 2 cents worth!.... Go see these guys at your own risk..... After 3 years of faithfully using this company.... bye bye BRAKES 4 LESS!

Ended having a hard time finding it so we showed up late. Thankfully so did the other appointments. This allowed us to go straight in, yay us. The guys were great and friendly. We new what was wrong because a dealership wanted 1000$ to do all the work where they charged us less then 300$. Polite, professional and fast service. We will be returning to do the other work recommended once we save the money again.

They wanted over 600 dollars to replace my rotors, breaks and sensors. I took the tires off myself to handle it the next day and theres literally just one sensor in my car on the front left tire and both back rotors and breaks were absolutely perfect with no wear at all.

Review №41

This place used to be terrific, with a smiling helpful manager. Ive been several times and always pleased. Yesterday I went in, and a different manager was there. He said they were too busy and to come back today at 2. Understandable since I was a walk in. I went back today at 2 after arranging my day around the time, driving a car with bad brakes. He evidently didnt schedule it, and told me it would be an issue since there were several cars ahead of me. But he would try. Offered to pencil me in for another time. Apologies go a long way with me btw. But I didnt get one.

Review №42

Best experience ever when it comes to car stuff. I walked in afraid I would be charged an arm and a leg. Very honest establishment. They did what they could to make sure I walked out with a safe car at a fair price. I even got a free book out of it from a past customer who left it behind a week or so earlier.

Review №46

DO NOT GO HERE - the manager Robert only knows how to explain how overbooked he is at this location. Rescheduled with the manager directly because they were overbooked and still spent 3+ hours waiting for brakes to be changed. First thing he said when we came in? He was completely booked up. Had legitimate concerns with the brake job they did on my car and he brushed it off & again mentioned how overbooked he was. I was able to get in at their other location. The only reason I went back is because of the warranty. Otherwise, I will never use this business again and I highly suggest anyone else reading this to look into other mechanics in the area for your brakes.

My wife had taken our 2006 Yukon in to get brakes done. From living up north the winters can be rough on vehicles. They let us know about the rusty components on the front of the truck causing the brakes to feel mushy. They even talked to me in the phone to go over the procedures while I was working. We will definitely come back to do business here. Thank you Brakes 4 Less!

Tim went above and beyond to help me out! They were completely swamped when I went to get my brakes done on Wednesday but i needed them done ASAP so I dropped my car off fifteen minutes before closing that day, they locked it in their warehouse for me, and worked on it FIRST THING Thursday morning. They replaced all 4 brake pads, cleaned my rotors, the whole package, and was finished by 8:45 that morning. 11/10 Will be back.

Without an appointment, I was able to get my rotors, brake fluid change and rear drum brakes adjusted in a very timely manner. The guys were very polite and professional.

I went there educated, I had been to two other shops and received two other estimates. Keith Pierson Toyotas quote was $2,300 and change. They told me I needed front and year brakes for my y2k 4Runner. They also stated I needed all new hardware. Brakes4Less manager Jay SHOWED ME that my rear brakes were in perfect condition. He did replace the front calipers and rotors, adj the rear brakes checked my suspension, replaced the brake fluid for $1,800 LESS than the other quotes. My truck is running and stopping perfectly. Thank you Jay an honest mechanic shop is hard to find. We have 4 cars, Brakes4Less will get all of my brake business.

Was hearing squeaking and grinding, took it and said I needed my brakes checked. They checked them out and gave me my options. Rear brakes were at 80% and didnt need replaced. The front was worn all the way down but they were able to resurface the rotors and replace the brake pads for $103. Also gave me the option of getting new hardware on the front to increase the warranty from 12K miles to 40K miles. Said it wasnt a safety issue and my breaks had worn pretty evenly. I declined the new hardware. In and out in about an hour an a half. Didnt feel they were out to get me like most auto repair shops. Would definitely go back.

Review №72

PHILLIPS LOCATION: ALERT!This whole deal is a sham designed to bait and switch you for MORE not less! We called around and received quotes and this company was considerably cheaper. Being in parts manufacturing, I tried to ask them what brand they were going to install but received a dodgy answer.The day of the appointment (at 8:00 AM) they didnt show until approx. 9:30 AM to open the store. The excuse was stuck in traffic. How unprofessional! Then we are told that they dont stock brake parts, they order as needed. So even if you make an appointment expect an all day sit-down at the shop.Next comes the bait and switch. By the way, the brake pads you get with the $139 deal are only good for 12K miles. If you want the same quality you put on you will need to pay $100 more. So theres the rub! Get you in the door with the low price. Make you wait forever while they look at your vehicle and then although they honor their price it is not an equivalently valued item to what they are removing.Maybe other people just sigh and go with it but I refuse to let someone continue work when they have already proven incompetent. Ordered them to take it off the lift and took it dealership who worked out a deal for less with OEM parts, service and warranty.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! Got all brakes replaced but started hearing squeaking within a week. Took it back but they wouldnt even look at it without hearing the noise. After hearing the squeak for another week made an appointment but was told they couldnt get me in for 3 HOURS and had 6 cars before me. Yet, they put 2 new walk-in customers before me WHILE I WAS THERE! I called customer service & was referred to the Atlantic Blvd location where I was IMMEDIATELY assisted & problem was fixed within 10 minutes! The shoddy work at the Philips location resulted in a piece rubbing on the rotor causing the noise. AVOID the poor customer service at the Philips location.

Avoid this place!Went there on 1/2/2014 for the $99 brake work but ended up spending $267.50. The owners name at the time was David Echevarria. He suggested that I really needed all the brake works. He seemed to be honest so I took his advice. Not regret on this.He also told me that I have oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket leaks. I did not have time on this date so I decided to go back later - this turn to be the stupidest thing that I have ever done.I went back on 2/7/2014 to have the oil pan and gasket valve cover leak fixed. David Echevarria suggested that I should replace the timing belt/water pump kit. I was stupidly enough to take his suggestion. So and spend $556.40 on these.A week later, I still have oil leaks. Went back and left the car there for a few hours. I was told by the technician Alvin that it was fixed, so there will be no leak any more. I was stupid enough to try him.A few days later, I noticed that the car still leaks oil. So I went back again on 2/28/2014. David Echevarria and Alvin took a look at the car and told me that there is another leak. This time it was the cam, crank, oil pump seals. Again, I was stupid enough to trust them and spend $219.35 to have them fix this leak. I left the car there for about 4 hours and was told that there would absolutely not leaks this time.After a few days of driving, the car still leaks oil. I brought my car back and told them it still leaks oil. Unfortunately, I only see Alvins dad face. I think he knew he did not fix my car. David Echevarria and Alvin had a talk and they had an autopart store delivered a bottle of Lucas Oil Products Engine Oil Stop Leak and put it in the engine. They told me this would fix the leak.Of course, this did fix it. I went back again. This time David Echevarria was no longer working there. Another guy named David told me the corporate office would call me and discuss if we could have this resolved. I left my phone number there but nobody ever called me back.The car still leaks oil.
