I had a very positive experience here. I was told at a recent visit to the dealership that I needed my rotors resurfaced as well as new brakes. I visited Budget Brakes on Charlotte and they let me know that my brakes easily had another 10-15k miles left on them. They showed me the rotors and even let me watch as they resurfaced so I would understand better what they were doing.As a woman, I often feel like the car industry is trying to take advantage and sell me things I dont need or overcharge me. My visit to Budget Brakes on Charlotte Ave. was a truly refreshing experience. When it is indeed time to get new brakes, I will definitely be back!

I was travelling from out out of state and started hearing a noise in my brakes. The gentlemen were very friendly and inspected my brakes free of charge. Although I need new brakes and rotors they said they were good enough to get me back home safely. I really appreciated that they didnt try to take advantage of me. And they turned me on to a great bbq restaurant to go to for dinner!

The place is a dump (nothing like the pictures), rude employees, and they totally ripped me off and took advantage of me. I am from out of state, went there for just front brake pads, and they charged me $200 after they took them off… they didn’t even inspect them. I was screwed because they removed the old pads before even looking at them which they did on purpose just so I’d have to pay them $200! I work for an upscale mechanic don’t go to these slimeballs.

(Review by husband of Google account holder) Original purchase dealer had closed and wanted OEM rather than after-market brake parts for update installation. Staff readily agreed to install parts puchased from Rockauto with rotor resurfacing and brake fluid replacement at a very reasonable price, and performed service promptly when parts arrived. Brakes now work like new - couldnt be happier!

Michael and his team were all so friendly and professional. I feel like they run a very honest business and not try to do or recommend unnecessary jobs. It was Good Friday and I had the day off and drove by and saw their sign. I immediately pulled in and took within an hour they were working on my car. Great service considering I didnt have an appointment. Ill be going back here more when I need brakes or other things done. Thanks Michael and team!

I was able to get an appointment within hours of making the call. My husband and I had previously had our vehicles serviced at the Charlotte location in 2019. David was easy to talk to and explained exactly what was happening with my brakes. I trust them completely.

Someone else tried to tell me that I need new breaks very soon. All I needed was a tire plugged. Little did the person know is that I just had my breaks and rotates replaced at Budget Breaks. I went back to Budget Breaks worried they had somehow worn quickly and to have them checked. They were totally fine. That guy was a con man hat I will never go back to again. Thank you Budget Breaks!

After receiving a ridiculous quote from somewhere else I came here and they did the work that was needed ( not extra nonsense the just raised the ticket price Like some other places). Dave was fair and very up front about what was needed and what wasnt. very good price ad it was done in what seemed like minutes.I think some places still see a woman and assume we have no clue about cars... if you saw My cousin Vinny then youll understand; my fathers an auto mechanic, my step fathers an auto/marine mechanic, my uncle, my grandfather.....

Big rip off tried to over charge my wife 780$ for front brake pads

Review β„–21

When I spoke to the attendant on the fine he told me that they could take care of replacing my breaks starting $89.99. When i arrived, they β€œevaluated” my car and told me that I needed to replace my rotors and breaks and then provided me with a total of $499.00 for that everything. I was floored. Not only was the front office desk recipient rude, I just I felt misled, I felt like they were throwing me that price because I was a woman. He did not show me a price sheet did not write anything down for me to see and periodically rolled his eyes. I will never go to them again.

My husband took my car here today, thinking I only needed pads. As it turned out I needed everything fixed. Everything was rusted out!! They fixed everything and were very honest, they showed my husband everything and worked with us on a price we could afford. Thank you so much. I will recommend this spot to everyone

Review β„–26

Drove here because Express Oil said I needed to replace my rotors and break pads and it would cost me $330. These guys here at Budget said that that didnt need to be done at all (my rotors and break pads were practically brand new), showed me the real issue (very minor), and fixed it. All of this was done in under 15 minutes and they did it for free! Fantastic and honest place! :D

Review β„–28

Visiting Nashville and needed to have breaks replaced during visit. We originally called and asked if they were able to check our breaks as they started making a rubbing sound on front passenger side. We didn’t want to chance driving 8+ hours home through mountains on faulty breaks. During our call they told us to come right away or they could work us in at 2pm. We arrived within 10 minutes of ending the call. We sat for 4 hours before they even looked at our car. Once they looked at our car, they called us up about an hour later to tell us our bill was $970 to replace all 4 break pads and 4 rotors. This was a huge red flag so we declined everything except the replacement of the break pads. This alone cost us $487.13. We were charged 47.98 for hardware( The same hardware that comes in the box with breaks)! $160 in labor for 20 minutes it took them to do the job. This place is a high scam. We would have Opted to have our old break pads put back on but they claimed all of them crumbled when taking them off. We got back to our home state and had our rotors looked at as we were told they were in poor condition. The two places we had look at them told us they are in excellent condition and would not warrant them to be changed. This is pure evidence they are nothing but a scam! If you are from out of town- stay away! Their 89.00 break change that they tell you includes labor is false. They will end up charging you almost $1000.00. Thank goodness I took a picture of the invoice to show what they were trying to charge us the $970 for; a simple break change. If you are from out of town- stay away! They will scam you bad! Very shady business!

Review β„–29

First if you expect to get cheaper brakes, you are wrong. I paid over $250 for just the brakes. They said I need rotors as well but Ill get a second opinion on that. Also, the place is very not clean. I went to the restroom and the toilet was Unflushed, there was no soap, and I couldnt get the paper towel dispenser to work to dry my unwashed hands. The guy was nice and did explain all the charges tho.

Review β„–43

Today was my first time using Budget Brakes and all I can say is that I was impressed . The service was good and the quality of their work was good. I like the fact that they took time to explain what was wrong with my car before they fixed it. They got my car done in adequate timing. I will definitely drive across town again to return to this location if I need any other services done on my car.

Review β„–44

I came expecting to have to get at least my front brakes done. They checked me out and informed me it was only the brake fluid. They topped me off and informed me I had another 8 months in my brakes. Tried to pay for the fluid and he refused politely and said we will see you in 8 months. The men here are not only polite but honest. Highly recommended and will be coming back.

My family owns six cars and Ive been taking them for service at this Budget Brakes location for many years. These guys are the best in Nashville! Reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, and fair. They only charge for the repairs that are needed, you wont get ripped off. They check my brakes for wear all the time and if you dont need any repairs the visit is free. Stop shopping around for brake shops, just go to the Budget Brakes on Charlotte Pike and know that you and your car will be taken care of properly.

My wife went to get brakes and a rotor. The staff was very unprofessional and extremely rude. They also tried to price gouge her. With me having been a mechanic and have family that works in the auto parts industry, I know what should have been charged and she was quoted an extreme amount of money.

After going to another place for an oil change and them trying to sell me a $600 worth repair by telling me if I dont get my brakes done today I will seriously injure myself, I came into Budget Brakes a mess. It has always been hard for me (a woman with no knowledge of cars) to feel comfortable at a mechanic, but these guys were SO NICE and helped me truly understand what was wrong with my car. They took me to my car, showed what was wrong, made sure I truly understood the issue and then helped me get what I needed in the budget I had. I saved HUNDREDS of dollars going to these guys. The workers are truly amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone!

My experience was very good. My brakes were fixed within a reasonable time. I was not pressured to buy products that were not necessary. I had come the week earlier and there was a long wait and was told to come at a time that would be less of a wait and thats what I did. The staff was very friendly

Me and my son was at Vanderbilt and my brakes went out, we are 2 hours away from home and a man at the bank recommended Budget Brakes. We got towed there and they were super nice and informative and helpful. They had us on our way home within a few hours. They did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend them.

This shop is honest, quick, and extremely helpful. They took the time to explain why I needed the work done, the benefits of getting it done, and possible issues if I ignored it. They also worked up multiple quotes for different levels of service they were suggesting. Car stops on a dime now and I couldnt be happier. Thanks!

Review β„–58

Let me preface this review by stating it is ONLY towards the Charlotte store, as I have had multiple great experiences with this company at other locations.On 11/28, I scheduled an appointment online for a brake inspection at 12/29@12pm. I showed up early (approx. 11:45am) to check in. After waiting several minutes, an older gentlemen came into the office and started asking me all of my info (name, address, ph#, etc.). I informed him that I already entered all of this online, plus I was a prior customer. With pencil in hand, he stared at his computer, tapped it with his eraser, and quietly said We dont use computers around here.That should have been my cue to leave, but I needed a second opinion on my brakes so, I obliged him and took a seat in the lobby. One hour later, I noticed that no cars in the work bay had moved, and there were no techs in site. I went to the parking lot, and discovered my car had not moved.I approached the front desk and waited a few minutes for help. The older gentlemen came back in the office, at which I told him I needed my keys back so I could leave. With a noticeable surprised tone, he asked Why? Do you have somewhere to be? I told him Yes. I have a job. I had an appointment at noon for a brake inspection, and my car hasnt moved in over an hour. He sat down, confused, and stated Oh, well a full brake replacement is going to take much longer than that, we wont even be able to get your car back in the bay for another hour and half, at least!Unbelievable. I will NEVER return to this location, even if they offered me free service for life.

Extremely deceptive and expensive. Tried to charge me 212.00 to put rotors on the front. Firestone did it for 130.00. On another car they tried to charge me 410.00 for the front brakes and rotors, Firestone bear their price and then they lowered their original price to 170.00. Just be honest the first time !!!!! Beware. Ask around.

From what I understand, this is now under a new owner. I recently went in for vibration in my brakes. I had a dollar amount in my head as to what it may cost me, and it was right on point! If youre a woman and youre tired of being taken advantage of, these guys are on the up and up. They explained everything and I dont feel as if they took advantage at all. This Budget Brakes will be my go-to place as long as I need a car! My brkaes feel solid again!

What a wonderful place to get great brake, axle, and alignment work. I have had three repairs on my Subaru done there over the last three years and am very satisfied with the quality of their work, and exceptionally low prices.Their prices cannot be beat. When I had my brakes done at the Charlotte Ave, Budget Brakes, all options and prices were explained, and even though I went with the cheaper pads, which they explained can squeal at times, I am happy with these pads performance. Also the price was one-fourth the price of NTB! One axle at NTB was quoted at $400, and I got all wheels done at the Charlotte Ave, Budget Brakes for less than $200.Be sure to go to the Charlotte Ave, Budget Brakes, and get on their mailing list to keep up to date with their daily specials and coupons to get even more savings.

Review β„–81

Just stopped at Budget Brakes because my ABS light came on and spoke with the service manager Dustin. Dustin told me that this tends to happen if youve been drivingin a lot of rain but that in his honest opinion it was probably be best for me to drive for a little bit and see if the light went off. Said there was no immediate danger and I thought it was great that he was willing to be so honest without upselling me. If I continue to have an issue with the breaks I will definitely come back here to have them repaired
