Brake repair service near Cleburne, TX

Brought my 2004 Dodge truck in for first 500 mile checkup and oil change on the new engine Rick's installed. They did a magnificent job and the new engine runs beautifully!! Now my old truck is back on the road with a smile on my face! -Howard Trice

Mike Mebane (big Mike) quoted me $2,303.39 to replace a brake actuater on an 08 S550. A few weeks later I had to return due to a squeaking noise coming from the rear wheel area. Mike said the bolt used in the repair was too long and it has been corrected. But now the car is leaning the passenger side air struts are now bad which will be an additional $2,438.58. During this process of driving my car from the rear of their business to front parking area, my fender weld was damaged cutting a groove around my passenger front tire and my car accumulated paint overspray from the paint and body shop next door. I asked Mike if I could get a wash, his response was their not a car wash ??. I expressed my experience in the form of a curtesy note left on the desk of the owner Josh on the day of pickup 06/30/22. Josh didn’t reach out until 07/11/22. The day of Josh reaching out I explained everything again. He basically said he wasn’t responsible for the overspray but if I send him the invoice for the purchase of my tire he will reimburse me. I had the tire replaced the day of our conversation sent Josh the invoice per request and followed up with a call to verify that the invoice was received. Josh (owner) hasn’t rectified the issue as of yet 07/18/22. It appears he doesn’t plan on doing right by me. There wasn’t anything wrong with my struts prior Sam & Joes correcting the bolt that was too long and my tires maybe had 250 miles on them. After that entire experience with Sam & Joes all I asked of Josh was to replace the tire. He Failed. My $2,303.39 visit cost me $5,023.85. Just heads up trying to cut cost at Sam & Joes may cost you more. Mr. Rivers

Brent from Wrench did a great job servicing my truck. He was on time, got the job done quick and exceeded my expectations when he found and corrected a few other issues while completing his inspection. After using Wrench for the first time I can't see any reason to take my vehicle in to a shop for service or repairs ever again. Mike H.

I had a slight fender bender that did not break the grill; however, it broke the radiator and the check engine light came on. The car overheated on the way to court. This location was less than 1/4 mile away, so I stopped and took a chance. Worse mistake of my week. That is compared to being attacked and having to get stitches, having a fender bender, having to get a hotel and extend my stay and surviving a low-grade tornado that damaged the rental car. This still was the WORST experience. I was treated rudely, up charged for labor after they had my car for 5 days with no callbacks or updates even though I called them daily and was promised repeatedly to advise on what was done or needed. When I got the car back the check engine light was still on. When I inquired about it I was insulted by the owner who told me that the light was off when they finished with it but I picked it up 30 minutes after they closed from their receptionist LaTonya who I texted back to advise that the check engine light was still on and called the two numbers I had for Lawrence with no answer or response back from LaTonya or Lawrence A. Giles. The next day March 14, 2019 when I came back into the shop and began asking questions about the work that was done and upset that my car was running rough and the check engine light was still on I was advised by Lawrence that he understood why I was attacked as I didn't know when to be quiet and that he was doing me a favor. That confused me as he charged me $40.00 diagnostic, then $350.00 parts and labor then an additional $125.00 for additional labor. When I asked for a credit for the diagnostic fees because he did the work four times he finally gave me a $20.00 credit. When I admitted that it was my fault for choosing an unprofessional business that I had not researched due to my car overheating and his proximity to the court where I had an appointment. When I went out to speak with his technician Curtis to inquire what exactly he had done to my car and why the check engine light was on the owner Lawrence told me not to be out there harassing his worker. I was amazed that he felt he could charge me nearly $500.00 on a repair but did not expect me to ask any questions. When they put my car back on the diagnostic machine it indicated CO2 Sensor problems. Curtis cleared it and suggested that I drive the car to see if it came on again. In less than 6 miles the light was back on. I had to go to the dealership to get this car repaired properly. My car overheated and stopped on the dealership technician in less than 2 weeks after the repairs from Action Transmission. The dealership asked if the coolant was added and topped off due to them having to add coolant after the car overheated and stopped on them and if there was a warranty on the work I told them I would try to find out. When I texted to inquire about the warranty on the work done on my car that was never mentioned verbally or in writing I got no response. When I inquired if they filled the coolant like they charged me for I got no response. I will push this forward legally if necessary. My final word is BEWARE of this predator who has little respect for single females who have the audacity to ask questions about what they are paying for. This has been MY experience with this "business" and Lawrence A.Giles.

took my altima in for a regular timing belt replacement and ended up being a nitemare to get the car back. it seems they dropped a bolt down into the motor and had to pull the engine to retreive it and then had the nerve to charge me for the labor. this place is not where you want to take your car as they simply dont care once its in their shop they know they have you on the hook. oh i also found he advertises to be ASE certified but there is no record of it--go figure

They have been wrestling with the front end of my old truck for 6 months for a $69 alignment, due to damage to a bolt that was NOT their fault. Never been less than courteous, I am about to pay them for another alignment *(don't do lifetime, on this truck I'll bet they are glad) and take my truck back in, I hit a curb in Arlington. They are helping me find a RARE replacement bolt that is long enough to hold a proper alignment. I bought 4 tires from them in May because I felt like I owed them the sale, tires are great. I do my own oil changes, and just use NTB for tires and alignment.

Just look what they did to this lady - I wouldn't trust them! http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/09/25/auto-shop-wont-return-single-mothers-car/

Flat rate for labor is $200.00 even if its an easy fix of $19.00 for a new thermostat. I took my car in on a Monday morning to get a professionals opinion as to why my car was overheating. I did not receive a call back until Friday at 4:30pm I immediately returned my missed call at 5pm, but they were already closed, WHICH their sign says they are open from 8:00am to 5:30pm. The following Monday a week after my car was dropped off I call back and ask for the DANNY what the issue is with my car, he did give me an estimate of $250.00 to replace the thermostat, NO WAY!!! Oreilly's has it in stock for $19.00. I told Danny, No don't fix it I'll be there to pick up my car. When i arrive at the shop two hours later (during my lunch break from work) he says there is a fee for $87.00 to put my car back together. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Why am I being charged if no repairs where done to my car? Because it had to sit at his shop for a whole week before they can even look at it & they had to take it apart to find out why it was overheating....BULL! I had been a loyal customer since 2005, he had done major repairs to all my vehicle, so i knew his labor charge is $200.00, but to replace a simple thermostat, sorry i was not going to pay $250.00 when i can replace it myself. I asked nicely to waive the $87.00 since it wasn't my fault that my car was sitting there for a WHOLE week, he has a temper WATCH OUT!! he yelled at me said NO $87.00 and get your car out of here or $250.00 so we can fix it! I said to him fix it & please have it ready within the hour (I was there at 11:30am), he said NO I'll have it ready at 3:30pm, i said fine i will be here at 3pm. I go to pick up my car Danny says to me I was able to knock of $7.00...Thank you Danny & paid the bill.... YOU JUST LOST ONE LOYAL CUSTOMER TODAY!!!
