    BRAKE MASTERS MADE ME PAY OVER $2,000 FOR THEM FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY BROKE!!! Brake Masters refuses to fix their mistakes, and will charge you twice to fix something they broke!! Their customer service will ignore you for days, weeks, and do everything they can to avoid paying for damages they caused.. I've actually gotten very good repair services, and they have some great mechanics, but the mid-level management is disgraceful.. Their answering machine tells you not to call them more than once, but yet I've been waiting for over a week just for a phone call, and STILL NO CALL.. They did a $1500 cam related repair less than 3,000 miles ago, then I started having problems.. A Honda dealership tech directly blames the substandard repair that has been done by brake master as the cause of the cam and timing chain damage that I had at a result..

    Rude Customer Service: Rene ** lied to my face telling me the check engine light was already there, he was dismissive, rude, or unprofessional, told me to just keep driving. Brake Masters has Issues with honoring service when they make mistakes. When they flooded the Catalytic Convert it radiated for about 60 seconds, I stood up in concern I knew they had fried a sensor. You can check the surveillance cameras in the lobby, I was watching the entire time. This mistake will cost me 711.62 more than the original repair, that is why I requested a full refund. According to the Nissan dealership they don't sell Catalytic Converters anymore. There is more paper work on the way.

    The cleaning and adding of dye are a pressure washer service, this is the cause of the catalytic converter code the Nissan is experiencing. (P0420 as noted on the invoice) It appears that Brake Masters Flooded the engine from the top causing the catalytic converter check engine light to come on. Concerns. The code or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) has been turned off several times by Brake Masters but comes back on. The Clean and dye service that was performed was flooded from the top of the engine causing it to steam for minutes, shorting out the sensors.

    I am in the process of providing further diagnostic paperwork to determine Brake Masters is at fault of the exhaust system malfunction / check engine light. Upon the subsequent visit I explained to the service manager that Brake Masters is at fault for the pressure washer service. I recommended to the location manager to provide a full refund to pay for the part that was damaged, he refused. They do this stuff all of the time and get away with it. Something needs to be done. This has also been reported to the BBB.

    Sincerely, Consumer

      On April 28, 2025, Brake Masters performed control arm replacement on my vehicle. It was later confirmed by another Brake Masters location that critical control arm fasteners (nuts) were missing following the installation. This represents a serious safety violation and deviation from accepted automotive repair standards, creating a risk of suspension failure and loss of vehicle control.

      I unknowingly operated the vehicle for several months in this unsafe condition. The missing hardware caused excessive suspension movement and instability, which led to abnormal drivetrain stress and the premature failure of the left engine mount. This condition was independently verified by technicians and documented on video.

      Returning a vehicle with missing suspension hardware constitutes negligent workmanship and a violation of basic automotive safety standards. Proper installation and torque to factory specifications would have prevented both the safety risk and the resulting secondary damage. I am seeking reimbursement for the unsafe repair and the damages directly caused by this negligence.

      BEWARE!!! This company is a scam!!! The corporate office doesn't care about their customers, call Christian there and hear it for yourself. The guy has no clue and supports the store managers taking cash under the table and issuing no receipts for the work you paid for, this is a common practice they condone especially in Albuquerque!

      My name is Rochelle, and recently I was experiencing shaking and knocking when I turn on my car and while Driving, unusual, decided to take my car in to have it checked out. I always go to Brake Masters because they always fit me in when I call, one of the technicians Josh and I drove my car and he was explaining every detail based on his professional opinion, since there was no lights on the dash, he waited to do a complete and thorough inspection before he told me what the problem could be, we got back to the shop putting my car up on what they call a Lyft to finish evaluating my car, so he came to the conclusion that I needed motor mounts, struts and a good flush, and also changed my oil.

      At first I was not able to pay for the job until the following week, however, the Store Manager Khalid introduced the Benefits of being an Easypay customer which finance the whole job the same day, They completed the job right away and the car sounds brand new, there was no other issues, management was able to get me in and out, very pleased with the work and professionalism they provided.

      Never again. I had an appointment which apparently means nothing. Only one other customer who was there for over an hour getting his oil changed. 4 people in the shop, one sitting down and the other 3 standing around talking. So after 45 minutes I left, this place is a joke with, I presume, no management.

      When you're in trouble and need emergency assistance with your vehicle, these are your mechanics. I broke my truck good while off-road and limped into Flagstaff from deep in the backcountry at 22mph. I'm an old guy who drew one of only five bowhunting tags for pronghorn in GMU11M (the area around Flagstaff) and here I am on opening day looking for someone to work on my truck. Juan ** tells me to bring straight in and then tag-teams my truck with Oscar ** and Robert **, getting my truck repaired in only 2 hours. I'm on the road just after 10am and on the hunt. These guys understood how rare my tag was and went above & beyond to get me back in the field...I will never forget it. Brake Masters sets the customer care bar so high, other auto shops need to charter a plane just to see it.

      On July 18, 2023 I made an appointment to have my Air Conditioning fixed at 8AM. By 3PM nothing was touched and that was left to bake outside in 114 heat, even though I had screen protectors. Very sad.

      They left the clipboard attached to my hood, which could have caused a big accident. I called the corporate office and the manager at Brake Masters and all they said was sorry and that errors happen. Also that the error did not cause an accident and what did they want them to do about it?
