I have found my Brakes/OilChange place for as long as I live in San Marcos! Incredible customer service. I am blown away. Got my entire brake system replaced because I’ve had some serious problems. These guys hooked me up big time. They really cared about getting my car going right again. Man what a kindness. I’ve been recommending this place to all of my friends!

First time in with this vehicle, got out in less than an hour. If you have a smart phone, they keep you up to date with texts and links. You can also pay through your phone so when they come in with the keys, you’re ready to go. Good friendly service. Also they offer 50% off on every other oil change on your vehicle. I highly recommend them.

Every time I come to Brake Check, I’m very pleased with their service! This is the only place I’ll get my oil changed from now on. They also changed my air filter for me no problem. I’ve recommended to everyone I know to come to Brake Check. They are timely, give great prices, and are super helpful and professional. Thank you guys!!

The men in there are so nice and very attentive and accommodating. They got me in and out in less than an hour and the place was full. I have gone to them a few times and I’ve always had the same experience. Would definitely recommend!

I’m not sure which employee was assisting me but I believe his name was AJ, but he was extremely helpful and provided one of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I don’t really know much about brakes let alone about cars at all, but he broke everything down for me in a very simple way making it much easier to understand what needed to be fixed. All the other employees were very efficient and effective as well as very kind to other customers while I was waiting on my service to be completed. I would definitely recommend this location. Absolutely wonderful.

The service is smooth and straightforward. Adrian and Jay both were very informative and helpful. I would recommend this brake check.

Very professional and quick service. They kept us informed at every turn of the servicing of our vehicle. Will absolutely be returning.

This place is amazing. It’s affordable and J really helped me out! Highly recommend

First time using BrakeCheck. All service specialists appeared knowledgeable, friendly, courteous. Provided customer with clear info of prospective service & possible fees. Short time for initial sign-in. Time frame for service adequate for work completed. Very happy & will definitely go back. Thank you BrakeCheck!

These guys are great! Im balling on a budget, and they were able to get me out on the road safely without breaking the bank. Ill definitely be back in the future when I need to get maintenance done!

Took my ‘89 F-250 in to have the rear drum brakes done. All the guys at this location are polite, genuine, well spoken, & professional. They had me in & out in a couple hours. Quality work. Competitive price. I’m using them going forward.

I recommend this place . Very professional and very friendly on time hard working staff. Thank you so much for your help . I will definitely continue to come back.

I am now LOYAL to brake check! $20 off for your first oil change and 50% off every other oil change. I went to jiffy lube first and they quoted me 4X what i paid at brake check! 4X!!!! And I went during lunch on a Wednesday and they had me in and out in 30 minutes. Friendly and helpful staff and excellent service. Will be back!

Although these guys were not able to do my alignment they were very professional really cool and the only reason they couldnt do the alignment because I had 22 inch rims all the way around thanks guys keep up the good work

If you’re in San Marcos and need an oil change done, THIS is the place to go. After going here a few times, I made the mistake of taking my SUV to Take 5 by the big HEB just to try them out…..my SUV overheated on the highway less than 2 days later because THEY FORGOT TO PUT ANY OIL IN and 4 months later I still haven’t gotten it running yet. Went back to Brake Check with new vehicle today and back to the great, timely & hassle free service I so stupidly took for granted that one time.

Jay was friendly the entire time so was all the other staff! My family and I appreciated the price and honesty of the repair. It works great they did take longer than expected I had an appointment at 1 they got my car in at 330pm in a bay for repair. I was all done around 530. The time may be a problem for some but you can’t beat quality! Thank you I will return with my vehicles if we need any more repairs!

By far the best experience while getting a car repair. I called to see if there was availability today and Peyton said they could get me in ASAP. I got to Brake Check within 5 minutes. Within 10 minutes, I was able to know what was wrong with my car. Jay pulled me in to see what was wrong with my breaks and explained everything so that my mom and I could understand. Jay took the time to break down pricing and gave his recommendations on what needed to be fixed today and if anything could wait for next payday. We went ahead and got it all taken care of at once since they were so accommodating and it really is a great rate to get everything taken care of. It only took a little less than an hour to do all 4 brakes. They also do oil changes and alignments. I think I found a new spot to get my oil changed. Great customer service and the crew does a great job.

They always do an amazing job. I LOVE going to this place. I always get a Good deal, I have been going there for a few years. I would greatly recommend this place.👍👍

I wasn’t sure to go to a place like this. I have heard that men take advantage of women because we do not know anything about cars but these guys were awesome, very professionals and kind. They were above and beyond to fix my truck. Work was excellent, not expensive, and on time. I definitely wil come back!!!

I bought a shitbox 240sx a few weeks ago and if u know 240s at all u know the brakes are more junk then a Japanese Tao Tao mini bike. I just needed to bleed them and after dropping it off by the time I got a mcchicken from McDonald’s they were done no excess brake fluid on the car or spills done very quick and professionally I recommended this shop for brakes!

The guy runnin the show was on top of his game, dealing with both mean and reasonable customers, professional

Needed to get my oil changed because I just moved into town from pretty far off. Had a really nice experience and the staff was really nice. Jay helped us today and explained everything to us. He even did an alignment check on my truck and called me out to explain what everything meant. Overall had a really great experience. I will be returning!

Whole staff was so awesome and friendly. My brother replaced my brake pads and rotors for me but something didn’t feel right about it so these guys checked it out for me to make sure my brakes were good to go. Super quick, highly recommend

Brake Check SM is amazing. I called ahead and was given and honest answer! The price was great! The staff was very friendly! I even got a nice discount! Quick, easy, in & out! Will Return!

Stop by this location to get the breaks on my Tahoe done, they did the breaks and also help me out with other issues the guys at this location are awesome!!! Jay was great he responded to all questions he made sure everything was taken care of and delivered great service. I wont go anywhere else

I told the representative that I intend to keep MY parts. After I paid for the repair he told me that I could not keep MY parts. Therefore I believe this place is crooked. I will never return to Brake Ckeck again. They also left grime on my steering wheel and drivers door. They are terrible.

These guys are amazing, i trust them with my life tbh

Jay went above and beyond to help me get through a stressful day of figuring out what was wrong with my car. All the employees are so sweet and were working so hard and fast the entire time. They basically had to build my car from scratch and still managed to only take about an hour. This location goes above and beyond to please and satisfy there customers. Will forever go to this location as long as I own a car.

Once again the team at San Marcos Break Check excelled in customer service, communication, and price! This is the place you should go first for all your vehicle maintenance needs. They provide service for my BMW, Infiniti, and F-150 better than the dealerships I’ve used in the past. Great Job!

Couldn’t be happier—in and out quickly. Competent, friendly, professional staff. Solid service. Great price. Bottom line: real good value. Glad I stopped in.

These people were absolutely amazing, and I will 100% be going only here form now on. Reasonably priced, had my car in and out in no time, and just all around a very quality staff to come across!

Fast and professional. They even helped me find the best value for everything. Highly recommend.

These guys were super friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to fix another shops mistakes and helped me out in a timely manner. Definitely recommend them.

The service was excellent, they did a very good job of explaining everything in detail and showing us exactly what our Issues were. They also explained in detail what our cost be. Finally the service was fast. Very happy with service and would recommend them.

Came in 15 minutes until close and they fit me in for an oil change, no hassle. Super friendly service and great pricing :) Will be coming here from now on

I had my own replacement headlight bulbs and just needed them installed. Adrian was professional and courteous and, even though they were busy, helped me out and got the lights fixed within a few minutes of pulling my car into the bay.

This place is exceptional, I want to give a special s/o to Jay, I told him I had a budget and he worked with me and gave me the best possible deal. I am extremely grateful and will be going here again for all my brake needs.

Jay was amazing! Him And his team performed amazingly to get my truck done. My Alignment was really bad and I work a lot and he made time for me even knowing it was past hours. That’s the kind of proactive attitude all businesses should have. Once again job well done from jay and his team, you guys rock and I will definitely be coming back for any other needs!!!

The service and workers there were amazing. They were kind and considerate. I will definitely be going back!

Excellent job diagnosing the problems with my brake assembly, even fixed some other issues at cost. Great service and friendly staff.

What I like most in this place is the staffs are very respectful towards their clients and treats us with compassion…I feel dally(my car) and me found the right place…one of the guys,Jay is simply amazing…keep up the good work guys

Honestly the best shop I’ve been to. I have a mechanical back ground myself and have worked at plenty of shops, so I know the tricks and cons shops use to rip people off and these guys did the opposite. They were very professional and courteous. They did very well at explaining what was wrong and was was needed to fix it. Super polite. Definitely will be back.

Jay and Adrian, thank y’all so much for fixing my truck up for me. 10/10 recommend these guys with your vehicles!!

Great service and helpful staff! Took care of the whole problem quickly and effectively.

Took my truck to get an alignment and the next day as I’m driving to work I hear this odd noise coming from the front of my truck .. which in fact it never did that at all, not even when I took her to get checked and all of a sudden something is wrong with her and they are saying that it wasn’t them .. like come on I don’t take my truck to anybody and as I take her to them all this things start to mess up .. that’s not ok to fidget with other parts just so people can go bck and make money of us humans

Great service! I was in and out of there in reasonable time and my problems were solved. Thanks :)

I went in for an oil change, and then a mechanic comes in and pulls me aside and tells me one of my filters needs to be replaced, no problem, then he shows me my Air Filter (WHICH I NEVER TOLD THEM TO CHECK!!!) Mind you, I just went in for a standard oil change, anyway so the mechanic says my air filter looks fine and I wont need a new one yet, so they can just put it back in. Im fine with this, well after my oil change, my car makes a funny noise when I accelerate, and Im thinking maybe Im due for a tune up or spark plugs change, I have a mechanic of my own take a look under the hood, and come to find out, Break Check Not only didnt put my Air Filter back, the air filter was NO WHERE to be found and the cover was left open and unscrewed. I was so angry because Ive come to this location for YEARS!!!! And this has NEVER happened. Beware of this location. Im taking my car to someone else who specializes in JUST oil changes and doesnt try and throw a wrench in the system just to drum up more business....

Came in for an oil change and wheel alignment. As I’m paying I asked, as the service was fast, if they checked my alignment, they said they forgot but another car got on their alignment machine so I could wait and get my alignment check and fixed. Said I would come back next week with an appointment. I made an appointment and they ended up not being able to see me at my time, because a car was stuck on their machine, without calling me to let me know even though they obviously have an appointment in their computer. I am told to call back later. I call 3 hours later and the car is still stuck, and am told to come another 3 hours later, as it will surely be cleared up by then. I show up and they tell me they don’t have any spots left for their 3 hours until closing because they booked them all. Seemingly nice people but poorly run business to say the least. Everyone knows how to work a computer in 2021, it’s not hard to call back the people who’s appointments were cancelled and offer them their spots back when your business is open again. They even told me they are the only alignment place in San Marcos which is a lie. Not sure how they think that is good business practice. Terrible

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME TEAM AND SERVICE MANAGER!!!!! I have been coming to this Brake Check to have my work trucks serviced and I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism from the entire team. 5 stars all the way! This is NOT a one star business, and to the one star review posted before me, PLEASE IGNORE IT. You cannot blame the service team for having issues with their lift. I have had my fair share of inconveniences at different businesses and a stuck lift wouldve been the least of my worries. Jay, the service manager, and his team did everything they could to quickly and safely fix their lift and unfortunately were unsuccessful for a few hrs. The next day, Today, they are back in business! I took a work truck to Brake Check a few weeks ago to diagnose my check engine light. The port to read my codes was not working so instead of telling me he couldn’t do it, he took time to locate the problem, and found a way to read my codes. He discovered I had an issue with my ABS system and told me what he recommended. On a separate occasion, I took my truck in because my caliper bolts were seized and no matter what I tried, they would not come loose. So what did this awesome team do? They put my truck on the lift and ran into the same trouble I did, only they didn’t give up. Jay, once again, came over to my truck and was able to remove the stuck bolts and saved me from a HUGE headache. Wow, THANKS JAY! On another occasion, I brought my truck in to have my check engine light reset because it wouldn’t reset itself. I tried everything I could to have it reset and it wouldn’t turn off. Jay came by with his code reader and had me back on the road in less than 10 minutes. Today, I needed a truck re-aligned. I thought I’d swing by and just see what the wait time would be. When I got here, they were able to get my truck up on the lift right away and had my truck realigned and ready to go in the blink of an eye. I haven’t seen a team this determined to make sure every customer is respected and happy from the moment they step through the door, to the moment they get back on the road. The service members explained everything before doing anything to my vehicles. They were patient with each and every customer even as the phone was ringing off the hook and people kept on coming in for service. This team is OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend this Brake Check and specifically this ENTIRE team of hard workers. I have recommended you to my friends and family and to everyone reading this, I hope you choose to bring your vehicle here. You will not be disappointed. And again, pay no mind the one star review because of a minor technical issue. It wasn’t the gentleman’s car on the lift and he could’ve just as easily gone elsewhere if it really was an emergency. Sometimes inconvenient things happen in life. In this instance, it was not by any means the fault of the techs. Thank y’all so much for your hard work and you 100% have my business!Bryan

My first time taking our car there as my boyfriend is usually the one to deal with our oil changes. The staff was super friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend.

Brakes are an important part of any vehicle, I heard my breaks grinding, so I took it to break check in San Marcos, everyone was friendly and took really good care of me . I even got to see my bad rotor, they were fast and price was great . I recommend brake check to anyone Who doesn’t want to get their hands dirty.

Guys were really nice ! They took care of me early cause I had a window tint appointment. Recommend coming to break check 100%!

The team here was friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience. From talking on the phone before, to the in-person service. They were extremely quick - entire inspection and brake replacement process done in under 30 mins! I mentioned I am soon selling my vehicle so they told me exactly what I need and helped price accordingly. They actually listened and helped, didn’t try to sell me anything extra which is rare at car places. They also test drive your car after to ensure their work is good and assure you that if you have any issues you can come back free of charge. I recommend this Brake Check and their awesome team for any of your car needs!

I didn’t get the work done, because there was too much and I couldn’t afford it. However, they still gave me a free estimate, and let me know what repairs would be needed. I appreciate that!

The guys working are genuinely here to help!! Quick and great service!!! We will be going back every time!!!

I had some brake issues so I took it in this morning. With a lot of places, I feel like they’re trying to upcharge me and finesse me out of money but I didn’t get that vibe here. They were quick and let me know exactly what the problem was. Adrian was a real help!

Charles was great. He explained everything well. Went in just for an estimate inspection and was able to afford new brakes and an oil change. There was another gentleman that helped as well but w didnt get his name. Super nice guys though. Definitely use them again. Thank you guys !

Great price for an oil change! The staff is friendly and efficient. Will definitely be returning here for future car care needs.

Location worked as a team and very upfront about what is going on with the vehicle. I really am satisfied with the service. And told me more about other issues with my car that I might have been aware of.

All the gentlemen were kind and eager to assist me. They made sure all of my questions were answered and my car was well repaired for a great price!

Excellent, professional and courteous, exactly what we expect from Brake Check every time we visit.

Fixed my BMW fast and good price compared to other places. Thanks guys

Truly exceptional service. Our service person did an amazing job greeting us, giving us options, taking care of our vehicle and getting us out in a timely manner. Great job Brake Check!

NEVER GO HERE!! Left all the brake caliper bolts LOOSE and had me drive off like that. Only found out from loose bolt sounds every time id hit a bump on the road. Went back and was told “ its normal” . Told them loose bolts are not normal and they completely denied it . After leaving shop i checked the brakes again and noticed shiny new bolts which means they messed up and forgot to put my brake caliper bolts back on so i was literally driving with loose calipers on the hwy. never apologized not once. Emailed corporate never got a response . Inadequate company . No professionals here.

I just got my alignment done and my Breaks worked on I am very pleased with the work. Payton was extremely helpful, and went over everything with me in detail, I appreciate his determination on getting my car back on the right track.I definitely Recommend this place and will definitely be back

Fine work. Affordable price told me my CV axels should be replaced and they offered a fair price. New manager is a nice guy, I trust him. The new team works hard.

I called ahead for an appointment. Thomas fit me right in. Called back and changed the appointment and Thomas again changed it without hesitation. Service was awesome. The guys got right to work on it. Thomas kept me updated and was charming. Was also able to save me some money and for that I will be back. Excellent work. Service, price and employee performance was top notch.

Very courteous fast professional great value. And good rewards.

Super quick service, and professional. First time here, definitely recommend.

*I need to update this review and bump it down a rating. So I just filled up the air in my back tires for the first time since brake check had their hands on them. I had to take off my lugnuts and move the hubcaps to the correct place so that my valve stem would be accessible, on both tires!*Was told an hour to an hour and a half wait. So I walked over to Golds Gym in the meantimeA little over an hour after they started I received a text saying that my car was done and ready to be picked up. I paid online and rushed over there. When I got their they had barely started putting the new brake shoes on. It was nearly an hour until it was actually ready. They didnt pump my brakes either so the first few times I stopped made it seem like the brakes seemed worse then they were before. It was pretty dangerous driving home

I originally went to get my alignment checked out. I was told up front it would be about a 30 minute wait before they could get to my car. The employee checked me in, and he was friendly. I decided to get an oil change as well since a decent amount of time had passed since my last one. I let them know I was going to wait at HEB, and they said theyd contact me when my car was ready. All in all my car was there for an hour, which is nice considering there were cars ahead of me. Brandon called to see what kind of oil I wanted in my vehicle before it was serviced. He gave me options, and I asked for his professional opinion. I felt safe and confident with the answers he provided. Check out was easy, and there was even a special they were running on the oil change so it ended up costing half of what I normally pay. My car felt great driving home, and it turns out my alignment was fine. Thanks for everything! 😊

Payton and Jay both were polite when I came with explaining the companies mission or their mission which was to give their customers what they needed not what they didn’t need.I could tell they did it right because they both came out with a smile on their face when they finish proud of the work they just finished.I’m driving now and my brakes are no longer slipping!!! Please come here if you have problems with your breaks I don’t want YOU to end up hitting my car because you made the wrong decision!

The service was amazing! Chase made sure to give me an accurate quote over the phone, then proceeded to ensure I understood what needed to be done to my car before they did it. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming here for all my future needs!

Very nice, very professional, very honest! I believe I payed a very good price for the services I had done, great job guys! Ill be back again.

Very reasonable price, honest, and fast. Simply the best.

Chase is definitely the guy to go to – he was professional and communicated well throughout the whole process. I’ve been to multiple service shops in the San Marcos area but have definitely had the best experience here. Would definitely recommend!

They were very professional and quick to explain issues and were above and beyond on concerns that needed to be dealt with. Will definitely come again.

Jay was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help out when my car broke down 10 minutes away. They fixed and ran diagnostics to ensure I had no future issues. 10/10 would recommend.

It was my first time getting an oil change here. Great customer service, I was greeted before getting out of my car. I was talked through the prices and different oils and I didn’t wait longer than 10 minutes for them to finish. They also had a coupon for the oil change so it was cheaper than usual. All in all great place and recommend (:

Fast service, Great prices! Workers are knowledgeable and well informed.

Super quick, affordable and professional

All im gonna say is that im happy and the noise my car was making is gone!!!

One Star is being VERY generous!Ive used Brake Check for over 10 years, so I made an appointment at this location in San Marcos TX.We went inside to check in for our 2pm appointment & were greeted by a guy (without a mask) complaining about ALL the appointments today, stating that his 9am appointments are still here & have been here all day! Then he looked up & said well need to come in tomorrow!!!We replied No & headed back to our car, as we walked out the door he asked us if we wanted to make an appointment?¿Seriously?

Everyone on staff was amazing took care of me in a timely manner and went above and beyond with fixing my vehicle. 10/10 recommend!!

Great experience dealing with my Dodge Ram 1500

Went in for an oil change and the car broke down while there. Staff was super helpful in every way. I wanted to thank them for going over and beyond in trying to help get the car going . Thanks guys!

Great service - fast and friendly. Happy to use and would recommend to others!

Originally went to get the brake pads switched out & oil change. Went well, left about 3 hours later spending almost $400. However when they handed me keys they said my brakes won’t be at 100% until I get my master cylinder replaced which will run a little over $200. 4 days go by and decide to get the master cylinder addressed because to be frank the brakes worked better before I went there. Called for an appointment & was quoted it would be over $400 to get that part put in. So double what they originally said and I’m still confused why it couldn’t be addressed the first day I went in. Long story short, I take it to Brakes N More, they fixed the issue for $50 and laughed when I told them I needed that master cylinder, all they did was a simple bleeding that should’ve been done while I was getting my brake pads swappedEither they don’t know what they’re doing or they’re tryna take money any way possible. Woulda been one star review if the gentlemen who helped me wasn’t so kind

Great experience, employees were extremely helpful and kind. They’ll make sure you are taken care of before you leave there shop. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area. Good work, good prices, and good establishment. Thank you guys again for working on my car

Got me taken care of first thing on a Sunday morning! Appreciate it guys🙏🏻

So glad I stopped in to get my squeaky breaks looked at! Fast, friendly and affordable service! A+

I walk into the Brake Check in San Marcos when before the door closes behind me am greeted by Thomas the specialist. “Welcome to Brake Check! How may I help you?” Thomas asks, his eye wrinkles smiling back at me through his face shield. After hashing out the details of the transaction he has my car ready for me faster than it took me to write this review. Thomas in San Marcos at Brake Check exit 205 will take care of you quickly and professionally.

I was very grateful Brack Check fixed my car as fast as they did and with professionalism they went out of their way to help me. They gave me a free brake check and took me home and came back to pick me up when my car was done. I definitely recommend brake check to my family and friends and I will be back for future business

Short staffed. Had my appointment for 1 and second guy decided to leave to get lunch with wife leaving other guy alone. If you have so many cars to work on and I have an appointment why would it be wise to leave the work for one guy to struggle on his own. Anyways waited 3 1/2 hours for nothing. Other cars coming in where being serviced before mine even tho I had an appointment and was there and hour before others started showing up.

Jay the manager is very nice and stay an hour after hours to make sure my service was done right definitely going back 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good customer service and good value

They were so nice, and the service was fast and at a great price!

Everyone at the Brake Check in San Marcos is very friendly and definitely value their customer care. I’ve gone to them twice to have my brakes checked/replaced and they’ve always completed the task in a timely manner. Definitely recommend coming to them for any issues!

Employees were courteous and efficient. I saw several other customers get in and out in the brief time it took to change my oil. Would definitely recommend

Super quick and they were friendly !
