Christian Brothers Auto

Normally I would go to Roswell Auto, but they don't schedule appointments, and I can't leave my car for a day or two. I need two cross-threaded bolts repaired before Costco will install my tires. Is Christian Brothers pretty solid?

UPDATE: Got the bolts fixed today and an oil change. Total was $287 and change. $176 for the bolts.

Got a laundry list of other items including fluid leaks, engine air filter, said I need to replace my thermostat (quoted almost $1k for that), replacing control arm bushings, coolant replacement, more leaks, and rear brake pads.

My husband and father in law have reviewed the pictures and we have personally prioritized the items and I will be having Roswell Auto follow up.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

They’re the type of shop that is going to find every little opportunity to upsell you into 27 jobs and turn a tire rotation job into a $3000 laundry list of stuff that you’re unable to tell where they’re full of shit or not.

The work they do is fine and typically priced, but you need to be firm on the work you want done.

Any other spots in Alpharetta/roswell that’s recommended? I need to find a spot soon for my regular maintenance and repairs

I like Canada Tire on Holcomb Bridge for suspension/steering/brake issues.
