I had a flashing check engine light, car was sputtering when I pushed the gas pedal, barely would go 40mph.I decided to go here because they had good reviews and good word of mouth reputation, and they were right on my way to the gym.They had me drop it off but then had shuttle service which was fantastic. They were extremely accommodating, gave me a ride to the gym, even offered to pick me up but it wasnt far so I jogged back. They got my diagnostic done by the time I left the gym, (which was $25 cheaper than the dealership).It ended up being a knock sensor which was unfortunately an expensive repair. I admit I wasnt ready for the cost but I needed my car so I had them go ahead with the repair. They even checked to see if their was a recall on that part. The service was explained to me so I knew what I was paying for. I was looking it up as well and their cost was within the estimated cost ranges for that type of service.They gave me a ride home and offered to pick me up as well. My car was ready later that afternoon, they gave me a discount just to do anything they could to help, which was greatly appreciated. The only change was the lowest I was priced, even the auto stop 2 minutes down was 20 bucks more.I felt well taken care of, anytime you have a repair that is unavoidably expensive you just want to feel like you are getting your money worth and are at a trustworthy place. It is a very accommodating and easy going place. Everyone I saw seemed helpful and relaxed but efficient, if that makes sense. It was a calm but busy atmosphere.I felt like my car and I were being looked after.I will be going back for all of my regular service. Even though I dont care for the circumstances that brought me there Im glad I went. Everyone needs an autoshop they can trust and that is fair and not overpriced. Id recommend them to anyone.

Great experience. They picked up and returned the 🚗 car to my garage because I have some mobility issues. They test drove the car and when they couldnt reproduce the problem called me for more information. They then checked codes and found nothing. They called with final report and recommended strategy and returned my car my garage. There was no charge despite the amount of time spent on car. On the phone and in person they were polite, respectful and helpful. I couldnt be more pleased.

It was my first visit since we are new to the Katy area. It was easy to make an appointment, I showed up 10 minutes early and they took my truck right in and started early. The business and work stations were very clean, everyone was courteous and professional. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Here is the truth. You wont know what a bad shop is, until its too late in me experience.That being said, I now appreciate a trustworthy, reliable business that actually does care.TRUE STORY. My Jeep over heated and another shop Brookshire car care and they quoted me 1200.00 to fix. Christian brothers on the other hand spent a few hours looking at it and it was determined it WAS JUST IN 4WD lo. Easy fix. User error. They didnt charge me, and they didnt make me feel stupid.Im not mechanical anything. So, they do everything to my vehicles. From airing up tires to complete engine swap out of my Jeep.The owner is extremely nice. Everyone is. The fact is, now that Ive started using Christian brothers, Ive been able to not get so stressed out over when something does go wrong. I just take it to them and Im good.

Review №14

I have gone to CB before and my experience has always been indifferent but I just got off the phone to the most disagreeable person! I know nothing about cars and I was antagonized when the person said you think?. In a condescending tone, I was lost for words. I hope CB can look up our conversation around 10pm today. At times I felt I had to apologize for my ignorance. I kept a calm and polite demeanor about everything but the call left a sour impression. If you have thick skin then go to CB but I can not recommend this place for people who wants things explained clearly without judgement.

I was in town and saw the special they were running and needed an oil change. Although, I had a free oil change from my dealership, I chose to use Christian Brothers. They worked me in and I was out within 45 minutes. They charged me the quoted price. I was very satisfied with their customers service.

I stopped in to get an estimate to replace my cv axles and was quoted a price nearly half the price of estimates I received from other local mechanic shops. I decided on the spot to get the work done at this shop and they finished up the work in less than 3 hours. I might say this is the best experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic and I plan to come back if I need more work done on my car.

Great service! Took my car to a dealership for a recall and they told me I needed to replace fan belts immediately. Went to Christian Brothers for a 2nd opinion. They did a free inspection and told me no issues with the belts.

Review №20

Very disappointed, took my 2015 Toyota sienna because the transmission was slipping and I got a code related to a transmission solenoid. They said they have to replace all the solenoids, plus the solenoids valve body, plus reprogram it, for a grand total of $4,000.I then took it to the Toyota dealer in Katy, it turned out I had an shaft axle seal leaking, and therefore the transmission fluid was low. They replaced the seal and re-filled the transmission fluid, THEY DID NOT HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. I ended up paying 10 times less than the Christian Brothers quote.This tells me that the guys at Christian Brothers didnt even put the car on a lift, because the leak was quite obvious from underneath. They went the lazy, old fashion charge as much as you can way.Dont get fooled by the name, I wont ever take my car there again or recommend anybody to take theirs

I had to have the lug nuts changed out on my F150 due to a known swelling issue with Fords. The staff took the time to explain the options and ordered my replacements 3 times to make sure I received a set that I was happy with. I would highly recommend their services. Honest pricing and friendly service!

Review №33

Although the service was fast and the web site made setting an appointment easy I was distressed that no masks were worn by staff and patrons waited in a small indoor area with no masks. I waited outside as I appreciate businesses that care about my health, that of thier essential staff and other patron’s. I will not use this business in the future. Very short sighted.

Review №34

Brought my vehicle in for a mysterious coolant leak and they were able to diagnose where it was coming from very quickly. They were even able to get the Euro spec parts for the vehicle by the next day and have it installed and ready to go. What the dealer wanted around 1500 for christain brothers was able to do for about 350. Plus they keep you updated with text messages so you dont have to pay telephone tag to get an update about your vehicle. Plus the 3 year warranty on the repair is a nice touch. Will definitely use and recommend them in the future.

This is a True story... my car blew up on the way from Austin, TX to Florida... the guys at Christian Brothers helped me deal with a problematic tow-truck driver who had trouble taking simple directions... CB went out of their way to help me get the car into their lot after business hours... then they inspected it first thing in the morning (as i was stranded in a hotel, trying to figure out my next move)... turns out it was as bad as it seemed, the car gave up the ghost and blew a rod... so now im carless in a strange town and have to find a way to donate this 2000 pound lifeless steel carcass to someone who can use it... CB brothers took care of it for me, donating to the Purple Heart Car Donation (supporting Veterans)... i was stressed out as my entire travel situation was completely off-the-rails, and they made the entire problem very easy to deal with... i dont think i have ever felt a mechanics garage remind me of a trustworthy place, but the guys at Christian Brothers are just down-to-earth dudes that handle business without having to think twice... capable shop run by good people. 🙏

They were amazing! Car was jumping down the road and I was scared to death. Was on my way to the dealership for a set appointment and I knew I wasn’t going to make it that far. They hurried and checked it for me, told me it would have to go to the dealership due to the code they were getting. Offered to let me leave it there so the tow truck could come get it. Didn’t charge me and were overall just great! So appreciative, especially when many auto repair places take advantage of women customers (in my opinion). Thank you again!

On 07/10/2020 I brought my car to Christian Brothers Katy Firethorne with a vibration problem on the steering wheel. I thought it was a matter of alignment and balancing, but it turned out it was the tires (which I was not told at the place where I went a month earlier with the same problem. They just proceeded with the alignment and sent me home with the same problem, twice). At Christian Brothers Firethorne they suggested changing them and I accepted. The problem was resolved. The point is, they were extremely honest in telling me that my car didnt need alignment. On the other hand, they dont have the tires in the store, so they went to buy them, they installed them, they tested my car and then gave me the keys to leave, all for an excellent price and with unmatched attention. This process took a while, so I had to take a zoom meeting at the store for which the owner, Stephen Williams, allowed me to use his office. Thank you Stephen.If you want to receive excellent service and at a fair price, do not hesitate to go to Christian Brothers Katy Firethorne. I can assure you from my own experience that Stephen, George, Roger and all the staff will take great care of you.Thank you all !!!!

I have used Christian Brothers Automotive (Firethorne) for many years and each time I am very satisfied with the quality of their work. The technicians communicate throughout the process to let you know exactly what is happening with your vehicle. Repair costs are a good value and I never feel taken advantage of for services that are not necessary. They also follow up with you afterwards to make sure you are satisfied. I highly recommend them.

Great group at this location. Recently had all four brake rotors and new wheel studs installed. Great communication all the way both internally and with myself. I spoke to three associates during the process and everyone knew what was going on with my car. Not the first time I used them and will not be the last. Highly recommend-2012 Subaru STI

Christian Brothers customer service is TOP NOTCH! I had a window motor replaced yesterday. Same day service and they shuttled me home and delivered my car when repairs were complete. Then, I go to start my car today and the battery was completely dead. Roger and Damian came to my home to jump and check my battery and even escorted me to get a replacement and install it there in the O’Reilly’s parking lot. This was after hours on the Friday of a holiday weekend. They truly care about their customers and they will be my first call for any vehicle repair needs in the future.Thank you to Steve, Roger, Damian and the entire Christian Brothers team for going above and beyond for your customers!

Rodger and the other professionals he works with were extremely helpful to us when service was needed to our anti-locking brake system. We received quick and friendly expert service and felt like we were treated like valued customers. We will definitely return the next time our Toyota Siena needs any more maintenance work or repairs! They keep a clean place by wiping it down with disinfectant’s to be sure it is safe for the customers and the people that work there.

Christian Brothers rebuilt my engine in my 78 Bronco and did a spectacular job. Rey always kept me updated when issues popped up. CB is one of the very few Automotive Shops that are Honest. Also, your vehicle is not in the shop for a long period of time. I took my Mothers buick to have shocks installed, had it back the same day. A while back, took it to buick for the same service, and they had it for almost 3 weeksI highly recommend CB even for minor maintenance on your vehicle(s)THANKS STEVE AND REY!!

Very nice costumer service that did the job at a very reasonable time and recommended services only if needed. Not too pushy. Loved that part. Super hospitable with coffee and snacks on hand for those long waits. My only complaint(not really) is the waiting room up front is small for the amount of bays servicing vehicles if more people stayed until work was done. Not sure if there were more in the back. If so, I retract that complaint lol. Oh and their online service records and notification service are second to none. All repair services should have that feature.

I reached out to them via their messaging service requesting a quote to replace the steering intermediate shaft on my 2008 Ford Taurus, however I never had the courtesy of a response. I am extremely disappointed.Update, I received a response from the manager and he apologized for the none response to my inquire, and I subsequently received a call from one of his technician and was assured that I will receive a quote for the replacement of my steering shaft. Ergo, I am hereby officially withdrawing my complaint as my confidence in Christian Brothers Automotive has been restored.

As a new resident to Katy, CBA went above and beyond to meet my service needs. As a standard, they provide a shuttle for patrons to get back and for from home as the vehicle is being serviced. This was a great convenience! They also provided same day service and were very timely and reasonably priced! This is a very honest and reliable company that takes pride in their work and back what they do. It says a lot to have the owner of the Katy CBA pick me up to bring me back to get my car.

Just Wow! Want a team that cares, is honest, quick, and so respectful? A spotless waiting area, and the manager and team, inspected my car and were so nice.In this tense time, I can not recommend a better or cleaner shop.I wasnt over sold, or spoken down to as an older woman.I just left smiling, and the tech was amazing.I trust these guys. It was my first visit, but I am so happy to have a place to take my 2015 vehicle.Thanks so much for adhering to covid 19, and caring about your customers.I wish you and all a safe and happy 4th, and onward.You earned 5 stars!

Came in for an oil change and the same day my truck stalled out at the light. Low oil lights came on and I was stuck. Got all kinds of misdiagnosis when I reported it back. They claimed I didnt have any gas, My gas meter was broken, etc. 700 dollar repair that they claimed they had nothing to do with. We did what you asked us to do. Obviously Im never coming back again. Ill never know if they really know if they did something wrong or if it was just awful timing. But I only drove 40 miles after I got my oil change when the truck stalled out what else am i supposed to think. The whole incident was unfortunate. I would avoid this place, wouldnt recommend to anyone
