Brake Team is the typical "Get the car on the Lift" Shop

by Paul V.

I am always hesitate to bring my car anywhere and when the price seems too good to be true. You know what they say. I need rear brakes on my suv and since I did not know the past history, so I figure I save them trouble of turning my old rotors by buying a set of new ones. So before I set the appointment today at 3:45, I called to make sure it was ok that I bring in my own Brand New set of rotors for them to install. I would figure it saves them time and labor (remove rotor, install lathe, turn rotor, and reinstall) , and I have the peace of mind with new rotors. I have NO Problem paying for the $88 charge, but the guy said it will be an additional charge for them to install my parts. Wow, you are going to charge me more for saving you labor? The only logic I see is they are losing potential profit from customers who do not know better. They have your car on the lift with brakes torn apart and tell you that your rotors are too thin and it will cost you $$$$ for new rotors, of coarse you will say yes. Typical Switch and Bait. If you say you are honest then Be Honest! Former Automotive Shop Owner.

Brake Team is good

by Pat H.

Courteous service. Job apparently done well with new rotors and brake pads installed. I went in and Joe showed me what is wrong with my car and explained the reason I needed things.

Brake Team is questonable at best

by Daniel J.

walked in wanting the 88 dollar brake job and left paying over $500.00. I find it hard to beleive that all but one rating on here is 5 star. No company is that good. Are the feedback sreal? Makes a person wonder. Watch out for the guys. I smell something fishy.

Very nice and explained exactly what was wrong

by sageb

Very nice and explained exactly what was wrong and showed me what was wrong. I felt completely comfortable and I wasn't talked into buying anything or felt like I was being scammed ,unlike when I go into other car places. I appreciate their swiftness in fixing my car and how friendly everyone was. I will be back :)

Excellent customer service by going straight to the issue. Provided detailed description of part that was defective. Stated how defective part should be repaired. Then gave a price estimate and time repairs would be completed. Stayed within all time lines.

Kudos!!!

by timo21

Initially I thought I was having brake trouble, I was told it was bearings and after $700 I left drove down the street the same thumping started drove back immediately left and picked up the vehicle the next day. It seemed fine Friday and then Saturday it started shaking again very slightly making noise so I am hoping it is still fixed. The crew there was excellent and the new manager Ryan was excellent to work with and seem truly concerned fixing my truck and my families safety. Kudos!!!

by zachL007

I was very impressed with the level of care i recieved at your Tigard store. My brakes were shot and i thought a big repair bill was in store for me. the man who helped me through the process, Juan Salas, was extremely helpful and did everything he could to soften the finacial blow. i walked away with a lot more money than i thought i would, in less time, and with a safe car. thank you so much, juan salas, for helping me with finding an honest, compitant auto shop. you have definately earned a customer for life. give this man a raise!

Everyone at the Tigard location was very nice. I'm satisfied with brake inspection. Dave & Mark gave me options on what had to be done & what could be done at a later date which helped my finances. Thank you.

I am most pleased with the work and the service

by tom4821

Had gone to Les Schwab for decades. A friend suggested I try Brake Team. Mark got me right in and took good care of me. Dave worked on my Durango and I am most pleased with the work and the service. After taking care of my Durango, Mark fixed e up with a brake cylinder for my wife's car. Luciano did the work and we were both pleased with the experience and relieved that she was safe in her car once again.

I was extremly satisfied with the service I recieved.

by Jessica8900

I was extremly satisfied with the service I recieved. When I first arrived Eric came walking up to my car and geeted me, he even knew my name. Then I wanted a coffee and asked if there was a Starbucks within walking distance. The guy said, no but then he have me his untouched new starbucks coffee. Then after they checked out my car and decided what they needed to do, they drove my daughter and I home so we didn't have to wait there as they worked on my car. Eric drove us home and even helped carry my daughter and the carseat and the diaper bag to my apartment. He even offered to pick me up when I was ready to go back and get my car. I was not expecting to have to pay so much that day on brakes, but they gave me a $15 discount to help. I will deffinetly return to the tigard Brake Team next time I need any work done on my car that they can do. THANKS GUYS!!!!!

Everyone was very friendly

by Mark8791

I was surprised at the level of personal service that i received. Everyone was very friendly. Wayne was informative and patient. Alicia was southern California glowing with hospitality and smiles! Sometimes when a location has a line out the door and the phone is ringing off the hook, people can be short and curt. This is not the experience at Brake-Team! The only room for improvement I saw was didn't know my entire brake system had to be disassembled first and then inspected for needs before just tossing on new pads. That added time to my wait that i hadn't anticipated. The good news though was i had a frozen part the had rendered my left front brake useless. I was VERY grateful Brake Team found that and fixed it at a very FAIR price. You have a new customer!

Do not get any repairs at this place except brakes!

by Ziabaki

My 23 year old daughter was referred to "The brake Team" by Jiffy Lube next door, when after an oil change her car suddenly started to die and stall frequently. She took her car to the brake Team and they did $500 worth of "repairs" to her car, then said that they needed to do another $500 worth to get it running. My husband became involved at this point, who knows how to fix cars. After he called them up and questioned them about what they were doing, the car suddenly started working without needed any more repairs! It was a miracle! Please do not go to these dishonest people. Go to Les Schwab for brakes.

Pros: I hear they do good brakes

Cons: They are very dishonest

Best service Ive had from any auto related company in years. Solved my problem and did it at a very fair price! I had several other quotes from companies that told me extra repairs were needed and these guys proved to me that it was not true, saving hundreds for me. My wholehearted recommendation.

bested the estimate from Les Schwab

by marlenehache

I got a complete brake job, at your Tigard facility, on my 1993 Saturn. My car is showing signs of age, and since I live on the Washington coast, where it rains over 70 inches every year, my car\'s brakes were rusted out. You bested the estimate given to me by Les Schwalb when I brought my car in to your place for a second opinion. The person I was in contact with at your place was very nice, personable and professional.

Unprofessional & Less than Forthright

by J Wilson

The service representatives were very friendly, but most people who want your money are. Maybe that's not fair, but there were 3 sure things that I did not appreciate at all:

1) My car was taken for an unauthorized "test drive" when no such testing was necessary or approved by me. I told the manager up-front that the car was not pulling or doing anything abnormal. That should have been enough.

2) I had a 2:15 appointment, and I sat for almost an hour before my car was even looked at. Adding insult to injury, a woman who had a 3:00 appointment (and showed up at 3) received service before I did. This was completely unprofessional.

3) I asked for the $88 brake service but was talked into a brake-dusting and parking-fluid flush instead, all for $3 less than the full service. I felt baited and switched and didn't receive the service I requested. This did not dawn upon me until after I left and thought about it all. It has left a bad taste in my mouth for the "BrakeTeam."

Pros: They talk a good game.

Cons: They fail to deliver.

Very Pleased

by gloriab2

When in reverse, the brakes squeaked and then they started to catch.
I called in the morning, had an appointment at 3:30, the car was taken in immediately, and returned 65 minutes later. The problem was explained, was still under warranty, and corrected competently. My tech was Dave.
I was very pleased by the service.

Great Experience Recommend !

by stevenceg

My wife and I were warmly greeted as we came in. The car was inspected, I already had a good idea of what was needed, as the car had about 87,000 miles. Felt I was not being told that more needed to be done than what was required. Car was taken care of in time frame they gave. When I came to pick up the car they explained what was done and how to get a better life out of the brakes. Had a great experience and will be back with our other vehicles when brakes or other services are needed. Would recommend this store to our friends. Thanks, Brake Team!

Pros: Real people
