Transmission Repair in Fort Mill, SC

“Going to give props to Christian Brothers Automotive in Fort Mill on 160. I highly recommend them because they went above and beyond to fix my son's car.
The deal: About a few months after me and my son went halfsies on his car, a 2013 Ford Edge (~140K miles), the brakes started getting mushy. Not all the way to the floor bad, but soft. Still stops, but soft and not confidence inspiring. I took it to one place, they pulled the wheels off, told me the pads and rotors looked fine, plenty of life (which I already did the same and knew), then bled the brake system and said that is all they could do. Problem still existed. Did not trust them after that so I moved on. So a few weeks later I took it to another place. Mavis Tire and Brakes on Tega Cay Drive. They replaced the master cylinder and bled the system, said that's all they could do, but the problem still existed. Fort Mill Ford said they would 'look into it', quoted $2,600 or so just to replace the ABS module, and I'd get it back a week later (which translates to 2-3 weeks our time). I said no, too much and too long for that. Problem of mushy brakes still existed. A few weeks later (now, today), I took it too Christian Brothers Automotive. They did a complete check of everything, took stuff apart and dug. No leaky lines, pads/rotors good (as I already knew), but ran tests (not just computer diagnostics) and found the brake booster was bad. That's what the master cylinder mounts to, and what your brake pedal actuates, directly connecting to it. I doubt the master cylinder was bad now, but hey it was replaced. CBA also told me there is an active recall on this part. Ford or Mavis never told me that. Grr. SMH. CBA also dug further and found out the ABS module is bad, its check valves are not working, that a computer diagnostic would not always catch that. These guys went above and beyond to completely understand why one of the most critical safety functions of the vehicle, the brakes, were not working properly. Oh, and they came under Ford's quote by over $2K to do not only the ABS module replacement, but also the brake booster replacement, parts and labor. They won me over, won my trust for sure. Never going anywhere else for anything above routine maintenance.

I'd want to give Rodney at CBA in Fort Mill some huge props. He's the guy who did all the digging and came up with clear, honest recommendations. We had a handful of other things he found too, but mainly maintenance things that he even suggested waiting for later, handle this critical safety issue first.

My dad used to be a mechanic. Had is own garage. I grew up watching and helping him. I could have done some of these things, minus the ABS module (computer controlled car things scare me), but I just don't have the time anymore. It's nice when you find a place you can trust like your dad was working on your car.

Christian Brothers Automotive in Fort Mill is now my go-to place for anything outside routine maintenance.”

“Bought a Groupon for this place and I must say it is a great place. They do a great job with my oil change and making sure my tires have the right amount of pressure”
