Diagnostic test $160 to tell me my transmission was bad. Also proceeded to change my oil $179 with magical flush fluid of some type. Why would you do this on a car with a busted transmission? Anyway I paid the $380 ransom and took it elsewhere after they wanted $9,000 to replace transmission! Turns out it was a clogged catalytic converter and cost $450 to repair. Why would you ever use this place?

Their "guarantee" on their services is worthless. They installed the wrong part on my vehicle. The wrong part cost $180 plus $167 labor. When I brought the vehicle back and complained it wasn't working right, they charged me an additional $618 in labor to remove the wrong part they had installed and install the correct part. I'm charged for the wrong part and I'm charged for the labor to correct it when it was THEIR MISTAKE ! Their "guarantee" is worthless !!!

Cabin blower motor for heat and A/C went out. They wanted $1400.00 to change it out ! RockAuto.com has the motor for $39.00 , 20 minuets to replace it . Need I say more?

Zero stars. Inver Grove Heights location. They replaced my differential pinion bearing. Unfortunately they used the WRONG BEARING. This failed a few weeks and 600 miles away. Paid $800 to get it repaired the same day. Returned to "Christian" Brothers with the invoice stating clearly the wrong bearing was the problem. CB would not reimburse me. Incompetent, AND unethical, a terrible combination. The worst business of any kind I have dealt with. RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

I called for an estimate for a small repair. They said they needed my email address. I was confused as to why, knowing better I gave it to them anyway. Since then, I've been waking up to 20-25 junk emails and countless throughout the day. BTW their "quote" was over the top and outrageous. Don't walk away from these people......RUN,RUN,RUN.............

I needed a new heater hose. And pcv valve. I dropped it off after telling them what I wanted (no diagnostics necessary). They quoted me ~$375 for the pcv valve. No thank you….did it myself for $15 and 15 minutes, literally, OEM PART. The heater hose was kinda a pain. Required coolant replacement so I said go ahead on that for ~$450. Next morning at 7am I get a call. They broke another hose and it would cost $950plus. I was taken aback. After my justifiable pushback price was reduced to ~$850. They replaced a couple hose on the top of my engine…. They screwed me. Not only are their prices egregious, the repair they made a few months ago failed. Simple hose connection came undone. They put a hose clap over snap connection. Coolant everywhere. I don’t have time to illustrate how greasy these bastards are. You’re giving Christian’s a bad name. The only pleasure I get out of repairing your failure is going out of my way to discourage people from going to you. I will never understand why humans associate fancy shiny buildings with success. I don’t want christian radio, I don’t want a shiny waiting room, I want fair and quality service. You broke my car more and double the cost. I’d go on but I have to fix your shortcoming and see if the overheating didn’t blow my head gasket.

First they run a very professional operation. Well organized and friendly. So why the bad review? Appearances are misleading. Last September I brought my car in for an oil change and inspection. They performed well and gave me a long list of maintenance issues to be done. I was interested and looked it over very closely because my car is a 2008, I bought it new, it is in excellent condition, and I would like to keep it that way and wanted to get this done. $450 for replacing 6 spark Plugges was shocking and I sad so. They gave me a break and took off $50. I found someone else to do the work for a lot less. I just brought it back to have it inspected Monday at about 8:30am and they indicated they could get it done by end of day. No so. I left it there over night and at 11: 30 the next day I called, and they said it probably might not be done today. I picked up my car and left. Don't think they want my businees.

Terrible i went in and the quoted me almost 1700 for a car repair, and guess what i didn't have any issues before and they call me last minute and say oh your wheel is wobble making noises, we need to remove and replace wheel bearing. This sounded like a scam from the get go, because i didn't see any problem before and all of sudden my car is shaking. So i tell them to fix it, ends up costing almost 4000, i say fraud and sue them. In court I won that 4000 back suckers. Stop SCAMMING YOU WILL LOSE
