Seriously amazing place. They are completely genuine and kind and absolutely hilarious. My brother is a mechanic, but I no longer live near him, so finding a new mechanic near me made me nervous, BUT I’m so happy and delighted with Christian Brothers Automotive. They also have a “courtesy shuttle” to give you a ride if you need to go to work or someplace else. Wonderful service and an absolute 10/10 overall.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Outstanding Service – Quick, Honest, and Friendly!
I had an oil change done here and was blown away by the level of customer service. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They walked me through what to expect, gave me a clear estimate up front, and didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t need—which I truly appreciated!
The oil change itself was quick, efficient, and clearly handled by people who take pride in their work. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and they kept me informed throughout the process. What really stood out was how much they care about their customers—answering questions patiently and making sure I felt confident in the service.
This is hands down one of the best automotive experiences I’ve ever had. Honest, fast, and fantastic customer care. I’ll absolutely be back and would recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy service done right the first time!
