No More Transmission Fluid Leaks, Thank You – The Brake Specialists at Parmer Lane got my rear transmission seal replaced and resealed my transmission pan for me recently. I now have a clean garage floor with no more tranmission fluid spots to greeting me on the weekend when I clean my garage. I appreciate the quick service and the excellent workmanship that you all provide.

Brakes, Oil change, State Inspection...Fast! – I like going to the Parmer Lane location of Brake Specialists, since it has two shops in one. It has a lube center that handles the oil changes, some maintenance and state inspections. The other side does the brakes and more involved repairs. The last time I was there they were quite busy, but they worked me in quickly for my front brakes, an oil change and my state inspection. They got all of this done in about 2 hours and had me on my way. I highly recommend this shop for anyo... read more

Corrected My Tune-Up, Vehicle Runs Great Now – I recently had my vehicle tuned up at one of Brake Specialists competitor's where they offer Bosch spark plug tune-ups for all of the vehicles that come into their shops. Unfortunately, Bosch plugs don't play well with my vehicle. After I left the other shop, my vehicle had several misfire codes and barely made it home. I limped the car up to the Parmer Lane Brake Specialists, since it was near my apartment. They diagnosed the misfire issue for me and pulled one of the plugs tha... read more

Fixed My Evap Leaks! Quick Service! – I had Autozone pull my codes and I had a couple of evap emmission codes for leaks. I brought my vehicle to the Brake Specialists on Parmer Lane. The manager, Darin, told me that they would need to start with a smoke test to determine the leaks. They smoked the vehicle for about 45 minutes and found two cracked hoses. They replaced the hoses and then smoked the vehicle to see if there were any other leaks. The two hoses were my only two leaks. They fixed both of the hoses for the cost of ... read more

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED & FIXED! – I had a check engine light issue that had been plagueing my vehicle for the last 6 months. I had taken the vehicle to several shops who couldn't diagnose the issue. I then decided to take it up to Brake Specialists on Parmer Lane. They had a new Bosch scanner that actually was able to give them a live data feed to diagnose my check engine issue. They diagnosed my vehicle for about $90.00 and then repaired the wiring issue for about another $200.00. I was very happy and will definitely ... read more

Very satisfied customer – My 2007 Honda Fit was only 3 yrs. old and had around 25K miles when the brakes started to act up. I knew that if I took it to a Honda dealership the cost would be very high. Instead I took it to my local Brake Specialist Plus on Parmer Lane. The problem was diagnosed quickly by the manager, Darin Hinkle. This was the first Honda Fit that had come in to his shop. I had great service and fast service. Now I plan to take the car back for a tuneup! Thanks.

gave help when Dealership wouldn't – I own 3 vehicles myself, they all get worked on there. They are always courteous, helpful, and the pricing was better than any dealership. The dealerships keep your cars for days, these people try to inconvenience you the least they can. Now all my kids take their vehicles there.

Always provided good service – Located right by my house; so, we have taken both of our cars here for every possible thing you can think of. They seem to be some of the few honest mechanics out there. They have given me honest opinions on the need to replace my brakes and didn't always try to add work that didn't need to be done. They replaced an alternator on one of our cars that ended up going out not long after the labor warranty had run out and they replaced it without charging us for labor. Very nice guys and seem to do... read more

Stranded on the road after they fixed my truck – I took my truck into this shop to fix a brake leak. They were very rude & had an attitude with me because I would not fix all the different things extra that they wanted to charge me for. I overheard the tech that test drove my truck after the repair telling another tech that he had driven the truck with the emergency brake on, which of course he wasn't going to tell me. I then drove to work where I was stranded because the back brakes locked up on me. I then had to TOW my tru... read more
