Brake Check

Went in for an oil change and rear brake service but ended up getting front brakes and an alignment also. It was more than I planned for but I’m sure it was needed. The manager Russell was very professional and communicated the work that was needed clearly. They honored my life time brakes from another location so that decreased the cost of my service. My car is running smoothly and I don’t hear the brakes making noise anymore. The work was also completed in about 2 hours. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and I feel the work was done correctly.

Man I wish I would have read Unilocal first!!! They forgot to reset my oil light to 100 percent then they did not put washer fluid in my reservoir which was part of the service! Did they even change my oil???

The most horrible horrible horrible experience ever!!! I wish I had read the reviews before going to this place, I have spent over $ 700 for a Toyota front and rear brakes and is still messed up, I even went to another location and they tried to charge me an additional $ 400 to get it resolved, they always have a reason why the issue is not resolved, even a Mercedes will not cost me this much for brake repairs, I have decided to count my losses and go somewhere else and count this as a total loss of almost a $ 1,000 for freaking Toyota brakes, this is so unfair and a ripoff! total ripoff! Be wise and stay away from this place, I never and don’t do reviews but I just had to share my terrible experience! I wish I had gone to my cheap mechanic who would have Got this done with little to no effort, I came here all in the name of let the break experts handle the breaks, but now I will end up going back to my roadside mechanic, I’ll definitely let you guys know how much I finally got this done with the roadside mechanic and you be surprised I will not spend more than $ 150!!! My advice? run like hell!
Update:
I went to a mechanic who bought new brake pads for $ 50 with lifetime guarantee & I have not heard any squealing brake noise ever since, apparently brake check have been putting wrong & hard textured brake pads in my toyota that’s y they keep squealing, nothing was wrong with my rotor or other parts as they said, this was a quick & easy fix all for $ 100, I feel so sad that I have spent $ 700 with brake check for a $ 100 issue. This just proves that because it costs more doesn’t mean it’s the best.

Sorry to Add another bad review. I see why all UnilocalERS were rating this place bad. Just sharing my experience. Purchased a Lifetime Alignment and returned 1 month later on ⁸⁄₂₀. Car was pulling to Left. Results. Technician recommended we buy a Camber Kit for over $ 200. All tires was recent and new.
Got 2^nd Opinion. All needed was to Rotate tires. Nothing wrong with Camber and Alignment was Ok.
Technician NEVER offered to Rotate the tires. As an expert in «Alignment» this should be the First Steps in Troubleshooting and Diagnosis of Car. Will never return to this Location. Will Goto Other Sugar Land Location.

Worst place ever. Stay away. Went for a alignment, and left with same problem my car still pulling to the left. Went back 10 min after the give me my car and told that the that the car still wrong and the asshole told me sense I didn’t get the warranty they can’t do anithing to fix it I had to pay again. U fucking kidding me. Stay away very bad place.

Went in for an oil change (no service light on), left with no oil in my car.
On my way to work the next day i noticed that all my service lights were lite so I figured it probably needs to get recalibrated and I’ll go after work. I didn’t get the chance :(My car started over heating and smoke began to fill the air (something that it has NEVER done before), and then it stopped in the middle of the road. ALL of my service lights cames on again, and my engine stopped working. When I took it to my regular mechanic they said that oil was drained from my car, but NO OIL WAS PUT BACK INTO MY CAR and that it may have damaged my engine :(!!!
IF YOU DON’T VALUE YOURSELF, TIME, YOUR MONEY, YOUR JOB, YOUR GENERAL WELL BEING, HEALTH, LIFE, AND SANITY BY ALL MEANS GO TO THIS TRAIN WRECK.

Horrible service
life time warranty is a crap agreement. I shud not have gone to them for the brake pad change.
They installed wrong sized brake pads on my infiniti I just found out. Scammed me into a rotor polishing service which is money wasted.
The cars vibrates with these pads when braking, the braking distance is longer and it makes a horrible sound.
MY advise stay away as I am never going back.

Stay away as far as you can fellow Unilocaler from this brake check location. Will I come back? NO. Will i suggest this place? NO. here is my experience, judge by yourself.
came in to this location with a headache but came out with a super MIGRAINE.
They charged me $ 780.00 for a wheel bearing replacement for both side rear. Kept my car for the whole day 7:30am-6pm. When it to picked it up but test drive it first to make sure that the roaring sound at the rear is no more. Paid the amount and left… as soon as i got home my ABS and VSA lights came up! So i called the place back and spoke to a Mr. Eric Sanchez and explain to him the situation, his answer is why? We only replace the wheel bearing (oh crap! Not the answer i was hoping for) he told me to bring it Monday and they will have it check. Unfortunately i was not able to bring it until the next Saturday. Came in yesterday at 7:25 AM and meet up with Mr. Sanchez and told him if they can run some diagnostic test to see whats going on? I basically told him that i had it check already by my reg mechanic and this is the result of test (rear sensor failure — he said either the bearing was put in wrong or they may have damage the sensor when they replace your bearing) Mr Sanchez said the test to see what the issue is $ 75 but i told him i already had it tested and this is the issue, he said OK I will run a diagnostic and if it came out the same then i wont charged you for the $ 75 then will have to look at the issue it may just cause you $ 20 and up. So i agree please go ahead he tested it, A Mr. Brad assured me that this issue will be fix (Mr Brad is what you call a stock broker — fast talker, they guy that can sell you everything) waited for a few minutes then i got hit by a brick in the head. They told me they will need to charged me $ 318.88 dollars to fix the issue, replace the sensor and take a look at the whole set up again with the rear wheel. ($ 318.88 is for parts + labor + the test) remember Mr Sanchez said earlier if the test came out the same he wont charge me that $ 75).
I left the CRV and they had it from 7:30am-5:30pm (they close at 6pm) during that whole day i never had a call on how my car was doing until i called them around 5:15 in the afternoon to ask how my car was doing. Mr Brad answer and said sir your car is being lowered right now and the guy will do a drive test, i ask him if i need to go there now to picked it up, he said i suggest to wait a bit until the drive test is done to see if the lights on my dashboard are still on. I said OK let me know so i can stop by, he called me. Few minutes later to tell me the lights are still ON and they just dont know what to do, that they tested everything, a second look on the wheel bearing setup etc. I said OK i will pick up my car (im pissed they have all day and nothing they can do) came in Mr Sanchez still charged me $ 318.88 for whatever they did but my issue never resolved. I will not go back to this place or recommend it to anybody. It looks like they will find issues with your car so that they can milk you more.
And OH did i mentioned i was parked across the street when he called and said they are doing a test drive (I NEVER ONCE SEE MY CRV BEING TEST DRIVE) make me wonder if they really did a test and changes in the car. I ask Mr. Sanchez how can i be sure if you guys replace that sensor, can i see the old sensor that was remove or a receipt of the new part that was replace? He said sorry sir my guy already left for the day, and i can assure you that we replace the parts and actually gotten the parts from the dealer. Oh ok can you show me the receipt? Sorry Sir Mr. Brad already left and he has all those details for you, and please remember that those wheel bearing has lifetime warranty and you can bring it back Monday so we can take another look.
As said NO SIR, you already had my car twice and check the issues that you charge me you cant find. I will take it to another mechanic and get a second opinion.
BEWARE my fellow Unilocalers you have been WARN for this Brake Check location.
I will never ever ever go back to this place or recommend it to anyone else.
HONDA CRV 2005 Gray

Just to clarify, this is for the location in NORTH Sugar Land near west belfort and Highway 6.
Since the beginning of this year I have taken my car to this location and it has only gotten progressively WORSE.
On their recommendation i got new shocks and struts ‘due to the age of the vehicle’. (a 2000, GM) Well, my car was only worse after I got these new shocks and struts. They make so much noise. When I checked with another mechanic they said the reason why they made so much noise is because they were ‘not top of the line’.
So the last time I took my car back for an oil leak. They kept my car for about 9 days. When I checked with the manager, he said that various problems were wrong with the car and the he ‘had to order a part from the GM dealership’. When I asked him how much it cost, he said he would give me the same price he originally quoted me, with was around $ 400. He also claimed to have checked on the problem with the shocks and struts.
Well, finally i get my car back, it was still leaking and then when I go to pay he shows me a bill worth $ 700! I said, «whoa, that is not what we agreed on.» He took it down to $ 500 claiming it would be ‘a loss for them.
Well, this is what happened to my car after I got it back:
The leaking was WORSE
My engine was filthy dirty with oil (I know this because when i went for an oil change at another mechanic they cleaned it up)
The inside of the vehicle had oil stains
My driver door makes creaking sounds
When I turn the car makes creaking sounds
My antifreeze liquid was suddenly drained
My a/​c system reeks of oil
On Easter Sunday my car stopped
I took it to a reputable mechanic in Bellaire. Turns out I needed a new water pump and transmission mount. The total repair cost was $ 800. Its still leaking, but a lost less than it was after I got it back from this Break Check. However, I still have most of the problems that I listed above.
Do yourself a favor, stay AWAY from these guys!
