Christian Brothers Automotive Corpus Christi

I’m extremely disappointed with Christian Brothers Automotive - Corpus Christi. This used to be our go-to shop, but their practices have become dishonest and focused more on commission than on doing what’s right for the customer. Their parts are marked up at least 30% higher than dealer prices, and they turn around and buy cheaper parts from the internet to cushion their own pockets. That’s misleading and unethical. Melissa, the service advisor, told me the parts for my vehicle were not in stock anywhere in town. I called Lithia Dodge myself, and surprise — they had the parts in stock. One of the parts was quoted to me at $900, while Dodge had the exact same part listed for $254.

Five stars for the team at Christian Brothers! A very stressful car situation was made so much easier. They walked me through the entire repair process and made sure I understood the ‘why’ behind the work. I never felt rushed or left in the dark.

They offered me a beverage and made sure they knew I was a valued customer! The repairs were a fair price and repairs were done very quickly! I will definitely be back and have found a new home for all my auto repairs!!

I brought my 2009 Toyota Camry to Christian Brothers Automotive to address an issue with the radiator fans not working. We shared up front that this was the most likely problem, but were told a diagnostic was necessary because we trusted the process. What followed felt less like stewardship and more like highway robbery. My mom received a call outlining a laundry list of “issues” along with an estimate so high it could’ve funded a small missions trip. After doing our own research on the parts and labor, we realized the numbers simply did not align with reality or reason. We decided to pick up the car without any work being done and came in to explain our disappointment. This is a place we have gone to for years since living here, believing that the name stood for integrity, fairness, and

I took my wife’s 1997 Toyota Crown here for routine maintenance and they gave great service and I didn’t have to wait too long. The prices were great and they even have coffee and homemade cookies while you sit and wait. Highly recommend.
