My dad's car has been making a loud noise for months. He had previous taken it to a subaru dealer and they couldn't determine the problem. Christian Bros diagnosed and fixed the issue in less than a day. Turns out subarus tend to have bad wheel bearings. This car only has 104k miles. Everyone I spoke with at…

I have only trusted 2 other mechanics in my life. I think I need to add a third with Christian Brother. They waiting are and bathroom was clean. Snacks and a drink was offered. Communication was great. My car was diagnosed and fixed properly. I'm a happy customer.

Great service. They gave my wife a ride to work after she dropped our car off. And delivered the car back to her while she was at work once it was done. Their service saved us a logistical headache!
