Very satisfied with the service. They were able to describe the difference between the work that was needed today, and what work could wait for a few thousand miles. I appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell or take advantage. The work was completed in a timely manner, and my brakes are performing well now.

I was helped by two managers as they transitioned from brake times. Connor and Cedric were very thorough, explained every detail. Connor even kept me up to date on times my car would be ready as I was there during a lunch break. Great service and great employees!

Needed an oil changes this past weekend. I initially stopped by Jiffy Lube initially but they had a two hour wait. Saw Brake Check and dropped in. They had me in and out in about 10 minutes. I didnt even have a chance to sit down. The guy at the counter was very friendly and professional, and their price was extremely fair. I normally do my own oil changes, but circumstances required that I utilize somebodys services this weekend. Their quick service and fair price now has me reconsidering whether its worth my own time and effort! Good work, Brake Check! Five stars!

This is the only place I’ll go now because their customer service is on point. Gabe and his team at the North Loop Houston location do a great job at explaining what work needs to be done and why. They give you options, it’s not about them up selling, it’s really about doing what is best for the customer. I trust them and feel well taken care of when they work on my car.

Top notch customer service, incredibly fast, wonderful prices. I will never get an oil change anywhere else! And I will bring my car back for other services! The Store Director, Gabriel Milano is AMAZING! I couldn’t ask for better service and a better experience!

I had a shake in my breaks, they figured out it was the rotor and found the warranty. The guy was nice and explained everything so thorough. Great service.

Prompt, professional and knowledgeable. Did a full brake inspection and alignment check for free, told us everything looked perfect, and didn’t charge a dime. We’ll be looking for opportunities to spend money there.

Gabriel saw to it that I was taken care of and a very professional and expedient manner. He showed me everything I needed to have taken care of and we put together a game plan. I will definitely be returning for further work.

I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone. First of all I did the online price quote. When I get there the guy tells me straight up I don’t know who quoted that price but that ain’t happening sweetheart. I’m like okay whatever I just need my brakes done. My brakes were squeaking and making loud noises. So his technician works on my car for over four hours. I’m thinking brakes are good only for the very next day to hear the same noises again. I go back speak with the manager and tell him what’s going on. He drives my car and comes back & said I definitely hear it. So fix sir I paid you for it. He then said oh you need to drive the car for 500 miles and the noise will stop. BS I have driven the car over 500 miles and still the same noise. Still til this day there hasn’t been any resolution to the problem.

Gabriel has a great team here especially Al.Al took the time to carefully explain potential problems with my truck and did it in a way that I was able to make and informed decision about how to proceed. Give both of them a raise.

If you are looking to get your brakes worked on in Houston, this is the place. Gabe went above and beyond to ensure that the work they did was right. He went through some extra trouble with metal brake lines. They truly operate by the statement “we do it right”. Thank you for the great work I will certainty be back!!

Review №18

The staff prioritized getting my wheel alignment handled quickly for me, routinely updated me while I was waiting, and were generally likeable and friendly to me and everyone else they helped. They made it an efficient and pleasant experience (as much as car maintenance can be). The staff also seems really knowledgable; the main person who helped me has been at this location 17 years. Its likely Il come back when I need an oil change or other basic maintenance.

Review №19

I was in and out fast and got a very fair price for the brake service. They have an excellent app that sent me a link to view the details of the estimate as soon as the technician had inspected my brakes. Will definity be back next time I need my brakes done! Thank you Brake Check. Excellent service and very professional!

Gabriel Molano is a very professional and customer service oriented. I have been a Brakecheck customer since 1986. He ensures that his Brakecheck store lives up to the standers that we expect from Brakecheck.I will be a repeat customer .Thank you !Deeb Alahmed

I was a walk-in with completely shot brakes. They fit me in, did the work quickly, charged a fair price, and it feels like a new car. Their online tools are fantastic! You can see the full itemized inspection report, and choose what to have done from the web app. You can even pay with the web app! Brake Check has my respect.6/22: went there again and they found deep problems in my front wheels (I was in a little accident), explained my car’s mystery rattling, and referred me to the manager’s personal mechanic to get it fixed! Go to this Houston Brake Check for an inspection before taking your car anywhere else. They are truthful straight shooters whose work is solid. I love Brake Check!

These guys couldn’t help me but they were as honest and nice to work with as you could want. No fault of their own my Land Rover Discovery has a bleed value that was corroded to the point it couldn’t come off. They spent an hour and a half with the vehicle and didn’t charge me anything. After I take her to the dealership to have the part replaced I’ll be going back and staying a loyal customer.

Gabriel the shop manager was professional and courteous. In fact when I told him what I was in for he said I probably didnt need an inspection based on the information I gave him but would happy to give one. Good thing he offered because my brakes were in bad shape. He even worked with me to get the work that was needed done without breaking the wallet. Would recommend 100%

Review №43

I took my car to get new brakes, a few days later there was a grinding sound coming from the rear brakes. He claims the rotors were bad but FAILED TO MENTION THIS WHEN I PAID THE INITIAL $400. Nonetheless he filed them down more so the sound is gone but Ill need new one sooner due to their negligence.

Review №46

Am so upset right now because the manager told me he was going to do a brake check to see if it was my brakes well he come back with a list of things saying this is what you need and the cost will be 423. and some cents to prepare your car but it wasnt the brakes its something else and my brakes are making noise. Then he had me waiting from 1pm to 6pm didnt tell me he had to order a part for my car . I think he charge me to much for my car and he did because am a woman . This not right for Me. Gus to do this to me.

Best Brake Check in Houston! Excellent customer service, theybwere fast, friendly, and most of all affordable. The manager was really helpful and able to help me fix my car without breaking the bank.

Good customer service, was ready for my vehicle at the time of the appointment. Was dissatisfied with the fact that the service I got did not come with a warranty and I was not informed of this prior to the work being done.. This I find will cause me to NOT be a repeat customer. Every other place I have takeny vehicles for front end alignment has came with a 12/12k warranty. I would not recommend this service to others thru your company

This place was great. I dont know his name, but i can only assume he was the manager. Great customer service. He talked me through every step and tried to work with me and prioritized the most necessary fix at that moment. He never pressured me to get my brakes fixed. Got all 4 brake pads and 2 rotors replaced, 2 resurfaced all within 1.5 hours. Great place to go. A little pricey, but the warranty is definitely worth it

Gabe M. The manager on duty for the afternoon of 9/10/19 could not give me more trouble after attempting to align my vehicle which was previously successfully aligned at this exact same shop WITHOUT issue on 8/25 with a different staff.He claimed the vehicle was too low and then attempted to explain why and did an extremely poor effort in trying to resolve the problem that he created (again, I restate I had this same vehicle aligned without any problems a few weeks ago AT THIS LOCATION).I quickly pointed out the solution to the problem and he did NOT want to hear it. I quickly went down the street to pep boys to have my vehicle aligned WITHOUT any problems. And pep boys down the street does NOT have an in ground rack. The rack actually appears to be HIGHER than the one at this brake check location. I guess you get what you pay for and I will gladly spend more money down the street to not deal with a pompous, rude, front man and to have my vehicle fixed with out any trouble. I am extremely glad I did NOT sign up for the life time alignment here and will gladly do so at pep boys.I have attached photos to support this statement. Receipts and pictures of my car getting aligned on an above ground rack.

I go here whenever I have brake and alignment issues. The gentleman Gabe is one of the most honest mechanics I’ve worked with. Always tells you if there’s any problems and if it’s going to be extra of charge before working on the car while other shops just go on with it. They realized that my control arm had a lot of play AFTER MY ONE TIME ALIGNMENT and said as long as a replaced the part the next alignment was free of charge. I definitely recommend going here and not being worried about being scammed

Review №79

I had my brake pads, rotors and alignment done here. The gentlemen were very informative, and took me back to see what exactly needed to be done to my car, pointed out the problem parts and explained why my car was making the noises it was. I got a breakdown of my bill, and they were kind enough to apply the discounts that were on the website that I didnt even know about. Overall, I left happy with the service, my car drives waaaay better, and the only reason for a 4 star review is the price, which again I understand with parts and labor adds up. Would come again if my only issue was brakes, but since Im a terrible driver, I probably will always need more work than just brakes!

This is what happen when you take the car to this place. I didnt mind to pay more than $600 dollars because is certified.Once the tire came out we found out that they didnt change the rear brakes. I asked them why the tire fall off and they dont have any answers for it. The only answer they have is that I have to pay MORE money to fix it.Thanks Good this didnt happen on the freeway.

This is definitely my go to shop when I need any work on my car. The store manager, Mr. Gabriel was awesome! Everyone was so nice and caring. I was given a clear picture of everything that needed to be done and he worked with me on the pricing. He helped me understand what needed to be done right away and what things I could wait for. It was just an all around smooth experience and I certainly recommend this place to anyone. Keep up the great work!Angel G.

The manager was very nice, professional, and I experienced very friendly service. Our brake job, oil change, and tire alignment got done all in 2 hours. When it comes to cars, I am very unknowledgeable, and so he recommended and showed us the work that needed to be done with the car, which was much different compared to other shops that don’t care enough to talk with the customer. Overall, mynew go to shop for oil, brakes, and tire alignment.

I brought 3 cars to do my oil changeChrovelet traverse 09, Toyota Avalon 03, Hyundai sonata 07....all got the stander oil change...the one thing that surprised me was when I brought my Hyundai 07, a 4 cylinder (smaller engine) in to get an oil change and the price was way higher then the other two vehicle...yeah I made up my mind these people are bunch of hustlers and dont wanna give good quality work for the right price....Other receipts had the number of quarts the car took in and this one didnt, yeah kind of funny...

Gabriel took care of me and my girlfriend when it was time to service both of our brakes. He saw us as soon as we arrived (we came like half an hour early) and took us out to show us how our rotors looked before giving us his expertise on what to do going forward. Even let us know that it would be wise to flush our brake lines of possible debris and let us know of a couple of available coupons. Saved us a nice chunk of cash.Thank you, Gabriel.
