"Quick, Friendly and Informative Service"I had a non-cooling A/C. Thought I might have some huge compressor problem, but turns out I just needed a dose of freon. Brian helped me on the spot (on a hot day) and explained dual a/c versus non-dual a/c and why the passenger side was cooler than the driver's. Maybe not the most exciting info, but good to know before you or an untrustworthy mechanic works you up about something that was...
"shoddy work"I had a timing belt and water pump replaced. About 4 months later, the car started idling poorly and stalling. I had another mechanic look at it and he noticed that a bunch of bolts were missing and the timing belt was put on loose. Pretty shoddy work.

"I love Brake Specialists!"I went to another car place, got an estimate I thought was high, then went to Lamar Brake Specialist location.
They diagnosed same problem, but had a much less expensive solution! saved me a few hundred bucks. I have also had oil changes there, and they fixed a timing chain for me as well. I would recommend them to anyone! john finlay
"DONT' GO HERE IF YOU'RE FEMALE"I went in to get my state inspection done on my 2006 VW today, and after sitting in the waiting room forever (which is to be expected, just annoying) they call me up to the desk to tell me they can't pass my car b/c my wipers don't work. I ask them to please show me how they don't work b/c I had just used them last week. He told me the best thing to do would be to run an $85 diagnostic so...

"Fair and Reasonable."I've used them twice for my older car. Once to replace exhaust manifold and recently to replace a leading gas tank. They were very responive when I brought my car in with gas dripping from the tank. They gave me a quote with a used gas tank and stuck to it. The prices seem fair for the customer and the business.

"fast and reasonable"I took my car in for an oil change and wiper blade replacement. They fit me right in and were very professional. During my oil change they mentioned that I could use a new air filter and wiper blades. I said go ahead and then was worried that it would be overpriced. To my surprise, it was VERY reasonable and I did need new wipers! I will be back to this Brake Specialists Plus or any other...
"HORRIBLE SERVICE-STAY AWAY!"This place is a JOKE. My car was in and out of the shop for 2 weeks because they kept ordering the wrong parts for my car. They misdiagnosed a part, and were going to charge me $200 more for the part than it actually cost (i had to call around myself to get the actual price) They kept calling me to tell me my car was ready, then calling back and saying it wasn't. When I finally went to...

"Always provided good service"Located right by my house; so, we have taken both of our cars here for every possible thing you can think of. They seem to be some of the few honest mechanics out there. They have given me honest opinions on the need to replace my brakes and didn't always try to add work that didn't need to be done. They replaced an alternator on one of our cars that ended up going out not long after the...
"Stranded on the road after they fixed my truck"I took my truck into this shop to fix a brake leak. They were very rude & had an attitude with me because I would not fix all the different things extra that they wanted to charge me for. I overheard the tech that test drove my truck after the repair telling another tech that he had driven the truck with the emergency brake on, which of course he wasn't going to tell me. I then drove to work...

"Know your brake shops"I cant understand how some onf these idoits, who claim to have had poor service, and then start talking about the hundred dollar friction relign!!!!!!! I have never heard Brake Specialists advertise the hundred dollar friction relign. ...
"Avoid this business at all costs - Sole Objective is to fleece"Resisted my warranty very hard - had to pull teeth to have them honor the warranty.
Then they wanted 2.5X times the competition to do other brake work to cover their warranty costs...........I can go on how terrible my experience was but for you the bottom line is go some where else for your repair needs.

"Go somewhere else by Jessica M. at InsiderPages "Big mistake! We were in a crunch to get our transmission worked on and checked out four specialists before deciding on cottman. What started off as a $400/ 3 hour job ended up being $1800/ 9 day job! They essentially refused to give me my vehicle after the initial workup and I had gotten a better quote from another shop. I went on four different occasions when they told be my vehicle...

"Seems like the best places are hidden..."I never even knew that Brake Specialists was just around the corner from me. I was on my way back from one of the many rip off artists in town, a little jaded about some of the attitude and pricing i had been recieving, and decided to stop in to see if this place had anything better to offer. Will, the manager offered me several different options which would keep me safely on the road, he was...
"Bunch of Thieves and Crooks"My AC broke down and you know the summer is very hot, and I heard that this store was running a no charge special to check out AC problems. They checked out and said that it was the O'ring leak and the total for the parts was $46 and $170 for labor. I questioned the $89 / hour service charge that was displayed, the manager Tim said that it takes 2 hours of labor and he discounted some on...
