Brian and Elijah were great to work with. Brian took the time to patiently explain all the suggestions. For me, I just always expect to get the usual call of, well, here is what else is wrong with your car beyond what I brought it in for. It was no different this time from that perspective, but the manner in which Brian took the time to go over it was different. While any business has to make money, and for car places, they need to get additional services, it also cant be at the compromise of integrity and if you really do need the service. Brian took the time to explain what was needed or potentially needed and why, calmly and really simply doing his job really well. Overall the services and prices were appropriate (except for the cabin filter/air filter changes as those take less than 5 minutes each on my own). Id recommend this location without any reservation. Brian really does represent the auto services industry incredibly well!

I’ll love the service here!! They are super friendly! Brain explain to me about my rear pads that it’s was time to change them. The overall is that Brakes Plus is an amazing and great place to go to for an oil change or any car problem issue.

HORRIBLE ETHICS AND NO HONESTY.I took my truck here to have my rack & pinion replaced since I dont have time. They told me I had $5,000 worth of problems I needed to fix. One of the first things was a serpentine belt. I just so happened to change my serpentine belt two days before this, so it was brand new. On my estimate they said it was worn. On the phone when I called, they told me they go off of mileage and didnt even look at it. So they didnt even look at my belt and were trying to charge me for a new one and installation. When confronted about this they were speechless and didnt know how to respond... They said they will ask a mechanic. Looks like they might judge everyones vehicle off of mileage and wont even look at it. Save yourself time and money and go elsewhere.

They are very reliable and trust worthy. They listen to my needs and exceed my expectations. They are always kind and willing to help and will go the extra mile for customers. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else but Brakes Plus.

They are super sweet and helpful. My family and I have gone to them for over 7 years. My mother used to always make them burritos and tamales for how nice they’ve always been. Definitely recommend for anything you need with your vehicle especially if your going on a roadtrip, they’ll tell you exactly what you need and tell you the estimate.

Dan Terrell was extremely professional and knows his stuff. My husband and I have had to have both of our vehicles worked on within a 2 week time span. He gives of himself 110% to be sure the job is done right. You can tell he has worked in this field for a while, just by his sheer knowledge, and dedication to his profession. We give him 👍🏼👍🏼s up!

Dean, Brian, Connor are always professional, polite, and understanding. From the front staff to the cleanliness of the bathrooms I always feel at home here. The techs always do a great job and they explain the services their recommending, why you would want to do them, and realistically how long you have to do them. Ive never been upsold even when declining a service. Finding an honest mechanic and a good reputable shop is hard, but these folks make it easy. I had to have an engine replaced, wheel bearings done, brakes, shifter and I wouldnt think of taking my vehicle elsewhere. They will earn and keep your trust.

Excellent service . I’m from out of town and I’m a truck driver. The guys at this location got me in in no time, found the issue and got to work delivering my truck in an amazing time frame so could get back on the road. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Great job guys.

I caught a flat tire and slowly drove over from the gas station, hoping they could help me. THEY WERE AMAZING!! They do not do tires, but they took off my bad wheel, the tire was off the rim, took it over to discount tire for me and had a new one put on. They then put the new tire on my car for me!!!! I had all 4 of my kids with me, they didnt have shoes because we were only going to grab some McDonalds for breakfast drive thru. They welcomed us in the store out of the cold. I wanted to give them some money, but he refused to take it!!! They saved me TONS of money, time and heartache! I cannot thank you enough! If I could give more stars I would!!

Out of their way helpful. I was stuck there due to a blown tire with a 4 year old and 8 week old puppy. They did not have a the tools or resources to fix my tire, but did everything possible to get me on the road including driving my rim to discount tire to have the tire put on. And advice on vehicle healthGreat people you can trust. Will be back for continued service. Thanks Brian Mann.

Review №32

They were able to squeeze me in on a busy weekend to make sure the issue I had was not a safety concern. They inspected and did not charge me. Very honest and I will use them for everything going forward.

Review №33

Brian probably was one of the most trustworthy mechanical advisor Ive encountered. He and his crew spent good 2 hours on my car to double check issues brought up by my dealership, even after I told him theres a good chance I might trade in the car and wont repair in his place, he still went extra mile and did a very thorough job inspecting it and pointed the problems to me. And wont take any compensation for their time for diagnostic work. Highly recommend Brian and his shop, Ill do all my future non dealership-designated work there.

Review №35

AMAZING SERVICE. This was my first experience with this company and I was very pleased with the service. I called in and spoke with a very friendly and knowledgeable gentleman by the name of Brian Mann. Brian scheduled me an appointment so I wouldnt have to wait for service. He gave me his business card, I gave him my keys, and out the door I went. On the way to my vehicle I was greeted by a gentleman who introduced himself as Brandon. He was very polite and said he was one of the mechanics on staff there.Brian contacted me a little while later and he gave me the exact price it would take to get my vehicle back to tip top shape. The price was fair and I gave them permission to proceed. I appreciated the phone call and the upfront way these folks do business.A couple of hours later Brain called again and said my vehicle was all ready for pickup. They did great work. It has been two days now and my car is running perfectly. I think it is worth mentioning that the mechanic who did the work was also named Brandon (there must be two Brandons there), and he really seemed to know what he was doing.This is a great shop with a wonderful crew of gentlemen working there and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of auto service.

Review №38

The dudes at brake plus are legit. They have always done me right at multiple of their Omaha locations. They dont just look for things to tell you need replaced. How early is something hard to find today at service stations. So I recommend this place with high regards. I bring my vehicle 3 hours from Kansas City to have it worked on there when visiting family in Omaha!

Review №39

This location is great! I brought in my car for a new battery because it wasn’t starting 100% of the time and they let me know the battery didn’t need replaced. We found the correct solution. Good to know this place cares about its clients and doesn’t just replace something to make money. We will keep going back here time and time again!

I’ve just moved to Omaha and needed an oil change. Brakes Plus was just down the street from where I work, and was recommended to me by my coworkers.

I cannot say enough great things about Brakes Plus. From the moment I brought my car in, all the way to me leaving; the whole experience was just great. Bill one of the staff members there was very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and kept me updated on progress. The work was superb and my car drives wonderful! He also directed me to Discount Tires which landed me a deal on some sweet new tires.... Thanks a lot Brakes Plus :).

I spent a couple hours on Christmas Eve getting new brakes. Just like the last time I was here, Brian took care of me. He made sure I understood what was going on with my truck and helped me make the right decision. Driving off the lot, my truck felt and sounded so much better. If anyones on the fence about a good car repair shop, they should really consider seeing Brian at Brakes Plus at 168th and Maple.

I went to Brakes Plus for the first time after a recommendation from Discount Tires. They did a great job with my car. I thought I needed brakes done based on what a car dealership told me, but turns out my brakes were just fine after they were checked at Brakes Plus. I appreciate their honesty, great prices and great customer service. I will definitely be coming here for my car needs from now on.

Review №71

This shop will prey on whomever they can to up their sales.First, I took down my first review because I decided maybe I was jumping the gun, but as it turns out, this is worse than I first thought!My mother made an appointment for an alignment with this store. My husband is a mechanic and he just replaced her struts. They have the car up for a few minutes and come back out to her and tellher that she needs new tie rods because hers are loose and then they proceeded to try to prove it to her by wiggling her tire. So, thankfully my mother isnt an idiot and didnt fall for their preying on older women tactic and brought her back back to my husband to check out. Turns out the tie rods do need replacing, but not because they are loose as these people alleged and tried to convince my mother was the case. They need replacing because one of the boots has a tear in it. There is absolutely no reason why the alignment couldnt have been done, but my mother isnt a woman to be preyed upon by mechanics who think women are idiots. We will replace the tie rods, and then get the alignment elsewhere.Attaching a pic of the tie rod in question that was definitely not loose at all. Also $120 for tie rods at this place and we can get them online for $24. Just saying. Think before you let a mechanic do work on your vehicle. And price compare. YouTube has all sort of tutorials for the mechanically challenged and with the right tool my mother could change out the tie rods on her own vehicle in about half an hour.

They broke a lug nut when removing one of my tires and charge me $70 for another one. My car was stuck at the shop for ran excessive amount of extra time and caused me to be 45 minutes late to a doctors appointment (which I had to reschedule and pay a penalty for) since they said it wouldnt be safe to drive a car with a tire missing a lug nut.

Review №76

So let me start by saying I went in for a simple brake job and they tried to quote me 2600. They said I needed more work done than I actually did. They couldn’t even answer simple question when I asked about labor and how many hours the over 800 dollars word be equivalent to he just said that’s the estimate I can’t answer that. When I asked so could it end up being more he said Absolutley it could. So I went for a second opinion and when I got directly back in the car to go down the street it instantly flashed low brake fluid and emergency brake light wouldn’t shut off. So come to find out the second mechanic I went to said they never put your brake fluid cap back on. Wow. I took it to a great mechanic that someone referred me to and not only was he upfront honest and didn’t take me for things I didn’t need. Don’t GO Here

Brakes Plus was fantastic! Will be back!I live near this Brakes Plus location and decided I was long over due for an oil change. I called to set up and appointment and it was super easy. When I arrived they took my vehicle back, did the oil change and completed a full inspection. Bill asked if he could show me some things they found on my car. It ended up being a couple of things that needed to be repaired sooner rather than later. I really appreciated Bills patience with my questions and showing me the specifics of what is wrong with my car. It made me feel like I was in control of the situation. I am currently saving up some money for the repairs and will be back. Brakes Plus & Bill are the only ones I trust with my vehicle now. THANK YOU!

Review №82

Honesty! My suvs turbocharger went bad after only having 45K miles on it. After them checking it and determining it was bad, they told me to check with a dealership to see if it would be covered under warranty. It was, this saved us around $3,000! As we bought the car used we had no idea that the car would have a 60K mile power train warranty. Brakes Plus could have made an easy $3,000 of of us but they told me to check first. So glad I did, Thanks!

Review №87

I recently had to take my car in for a recall at the local dealership and while I was there I was told that my car needed an alignment. I was told it was extremely out of alignment and was handed a paper “showing” me how out of alignment it was. They wanted to do the alignment and charge me $178 for this service. I know never to have a dealership do work unless under warranty because their prices are so high. So I called Brakes Plus right away to make an appointment. They got me in the same day and ran tests on my car. Bill came in and told me that actually my alignment on my car is fine and that there is no reason to have an alignment done at this time. I truly appreciate the honesty and know that I can trust them to not recommend a service that I don’t need. They have gained a new customer and I highly recommend them.

I cannot tell you how fantastic these guys are. I could literally sing their praises daily for what they did. I started experiencing grinding and after a quick diagnosis, they helped me figure out how to take care of the issue and then got me in and out last minute. These fellas deserve all the praise in the world for their quick work and the heart they put into taking care of their customers. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And a special thank you for Bill and Jason, who went above and beyond normal customer service to take care of my issue, you guys are amazing!!

Just called into the place and was talking to Steve. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. I was asking him roughly what it cost to replace my rear pads cause I just replaced the front. He said you need to bring it in here and Ill give you a estimate. I said is there any time that works and he started getting frustrated and saying well when we’re open. Making snarking remarks and then proceeds to hang up on me before I even finish talking and asking questions. Unbelievable definitely won’t bring my vehicle here anytime soon.

This is a very good location and the managers here are great! Its a top notch group that treats its customers very well. I was quoted a very high amount of money from the BMW dealership to do my engine and brake fluid service. They did just as good of a job but for less than half the cost and they provided me with a shuttle to and from my place. I would highly recommend this location and place to have your vehicle serviced. Do not hesitate these guys rock! SS

Thank you Steve Arnett and his crew at this 168th location for helping correct a problem from another location! We will bring all our vehicles to only this location! It is a further drive for us but worth it for their professionalism and their level of knowledge when it comes to making sure everything is done right and being honest about what need to be done.
