“I bought a car from a buddy a few days ago and began the hunt for a quality shop. Normally, it wouldn’t have been a thing, just go to the nearest place with the soonest available appointment and hope for the best. But this time was different, my friend had spent the last decade rubbing this car with a diaper and I was determined to find a mechanic who understood what I had and would help keep it nice for another twenty years. You’d be shocked how tall an order that can be. After visiting (in RL, not online) four shops, getting prices, talking to staff etc., I ended up walking out of all four. From, “I’ll tell you what kind of oil to put in that car.” to “Well, we’re booked up.” to “I can’t really give you a price right now.” to my personal favorite, “Oh, we quoted you the wrong price, it’ll actually be an additional $70.”, I had heard it all and given up. After pricing oil/filters and batteries at AutoZone, and making a list of tools needed to do it myself in disgust, my son suggested I give Christian Brothers in Grimes a call. It was as if the clouds parted and bathed this place in sunlight: “Yes, sir. We can do that today.”, “Absolutely, sir, I’d be happy to quote you a price.”, “Yes, sir, we’d be delighted to earn your business”, “No problem, sir, we’d be happy to give you a shuttle ride.” — and my personal fave, “Worry not, sir. We won’t leave a smudge or scratch on it!” They weren’t lying. They didn’t try to sell me unnecessary crap. They showed me in detail everything they would do, what it would cost, then texted me a full report w/pics and video to that effect. I met the tech working on my car, who, like everyone else there, was genuinely happy to help. Also, there wasn’t even a tiny smidge of oil anywhere on the white paint or tan/ecru interior, that stuff really matters! It shows caring and professionalism which inspires confidence, at least it does in me. Hayden & Tristen up front, Jordan working on my car, Kevin giving me a ride, the manager and two or three others whose names escape me right now — all star pros. We’ll be bringing all of our cars here from now on. The only thing wrong is that we didn’t find them years ago. Well done. Update 10/18/26: Our Acadia decided to break (again) at the worst time possible. I called Barry and he got me in that day, diagnosed only the exhaust coupling needing fixed (instead of adding a costly & unnecessary cat, muffler or exhaust pipe just because — trust me, it happens alot), and had us driving the next day. As I’ve come to expect from Christian Bros., the price quoted was what we paid, what we paid was fair, and the repair was perfect. Again, well done!”

“I was on a 20 hour roadtrip when my check engine light came on. They were kind enough to hook my 2003 dodge ram van to the scanner, and were able to give me confident peace of mind that all was well. I continued to my destination with no issues! Super kind, and good people there who were happy, willing, and ready to help! Thanks yall!”

“These guys are amazing. They found the root of the issue with my Pathfinder and gave me updates every step of the way. Very transparent with all of their work. The mechanic took time to answer anything I had to ask and offered me various paths of action for repairs. It's refreshing to find such honest professionals. I will highly recommend this place to anyone.”

“I needed some octane boost for my motorcycle. Matt discussed with me the options available and the benefits of choosing either. Ultimately, I made my choice and Matt assisted me in knowing how much to add per gallon to raise the fuel to the desired octane. Very helpful. Very knowledgable and professional. Couldn’t have been more patient with my paralysis of analysis and he gained a long term customer based on his diligence to get me satisfied with what I needed. A solid guy. Highly highly recommend.”

“I went here for my synthetic oil change. Service is always great. Love that I can wait or get shuttled elsewhere. There are always free hot drinks and sometimes sweets. The waiting area is big. I can go anywhere for my oil change, but I always choose Toyota. My car is a Toyota, so they know my car well. I love the video inspections, recommendations, and my fluids are always topped. For what I got for it is really worth it. Online will usually have a $5 off coupon or sometimes they will mail home a $10 off coupon. The people there are honest, trustworthy, and experienced. I can take my car there with confidence and know that they will not try to cheat me. I can trust their advice and service. Every visit comes with a car wash card at Tommy's Express. Considering the package I'm getting from the service, advice, top off, and car wash, it's really worth it. Other services may be more expensive, but you can pick and choose what you want done or take their recommendations and go do it yourself or elsewhere. I love Toyota and my next car will probably come from there too.”

“First, before I had even gone to them for service, but had made an appointment, I got an email wishing me a happy birthday. I got there on my appt date, a bit early, and they took my car to get a start on it. I sat in the customer area, which was clean and organized. They brought my car back through the return area of the entry part. While i was waiting, I got a video of my car inspection. I've never had this kind of service before. I'll be back.

“Could not be happier with my experience at Toyota DM and working with my rep Todd Fiechter. Todd made this process very easy and quick, I test drove a car on Thursday and took it home Friday afternoon. No pressure from anyone when going over numbers and they got me more for my trade in than I was expecting. Riley was also great during the delivery process showing the different features of the car. Highly recommend Toyota DM and Todd as your sales rep!”
