Great experience. The manager, Bill, listened well, was knowledgeable, real, and honest. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. The prices are fair. I had my oil changed and tires rotated. They also checked my battery and alternator for free! I highly recommend this business.

Brakes Plus is amazing! I got my brake pads completely switched out recently. The team is super helpful and reasonable with pricing. They also have Financing available. Thank you JP and the rest of the team for great helpful service! Never going back to my dealership for repairs!

Brought our car into Brakes Plus to have the air conditioner looked at.The manager Bill was very knowledgeable, and walked us through the process, of what he felt needed to be done. The cost of the repairs, was going to be very expensive, so the manager Bill gave us a coupon. We will definitely be back.

I would not recommend this place to anyone who has general maintenance issues with their vehicle. While they can take care of oil changes and simple tasks alike they struggle at finding the root cause of issues and instead have you repairing things that do not need repaired yet. I brought my car in because the starter was not cranking at all meaning when I turned the key to start the car the starter did not turn at all. My lights were fine and I tested my battery which passed so my next step was to give the starter I small tap and as soon as I did this the car fired up however the starter made a grinding noise during the start. The starter and labor was under warranty however when I brought my car in JD and Marcus were extremely rude and unprofessional and told me that it was my alternator causing the problem. What they dont know is I already had a master mechanic check this out who told me the problem was the starter. Yes, the master mechanic did tell me my alternator will need replaced but not at this time. I am a full time college student which I explained to JD so I need to spend money very frugally and he became upset and rude and told me if I wasnt going to take his recommendation then I shouldnt come back. He then told me to leave. Very unprofessional I will never return again and will charge the costs of the starter repair back to them.

Thank you Mr. Bill!My mom required your service at brakes plus, and to my understanding, you delivered fabulously! She left the house nearly in tears and is now practically clicking her heels with excitement. You made her life so much easier, especially since we were very worried about the car.Again, thank you so much! (You know, Im just glad you guys were able to keep my mom in a good mood.) Have a wonderful day and drink some water :)

Mr. Bill was awesome! Little to our knowledge, our air conditioning unit was not a simple fix. It ended up being EVERYTHING. He was empathetic, kind and very helpful and totally knowledgable in dealing with a wife who was on the verge of tears with husband out of town. Its a huge step up in customer service. Thank you so much, you are AWESOME!

Noticed a vibration in my truck. They got me in right away and was finished with a front brake job in just over an hour. The GM Bill is extremely polite and appears to love his job. And he goes out of his way to find you the best savings he can. Thank you so much for your help with my truck. Excellent job on the technicians job as well. You cant have a good GM without the hard working employees like Rick.

Such a rip off... Did brakes(Rotor and Pads both front and rear) job for my Honda Odyssey and it was way expensive than dealer. He said they dont upsell like dealer. But still spent 1000+ which could have been 600 approx. I dont recommend it. Manager is little agressive too.

Over the summer I had a suspension issue that I thought would have been resolved with new parts that this location put on but through the winter that was not the case, so I brought up my concern with Matt & he went above & beyond to remedy the situation & made sure his team made it right. This shop has earned my trust again, so give these guys a try- theyre all great guys!

Review №30

Just a few days ago my brakes started to grind and make a terrible noise. I wasn’t sure where to go to get them looked at but found these guys on google. I went in for an inspection yesterday (was greeted by an incredibly nice women that worked the front) and found out my rotors and pads had completely worn down. The Manager Matt was the one to thoroughly explain what needed to be fixed and worked with me to find an affordable solution to get my kids and I back on the road safely. They worked me in right away and fixed my car within two hours even though they were short staffed and busy. I cannot thank Matt and his staff enough for being so caring and doing an amazing job fixing my car. I didn’t know my brakes could work that good! I was pretty down about having to spend more money on my car (it had been in the shop two other times months prior) but they were very compassionate and helped to make my day brighter. Thank you again!

My scepticism that a business actually cares about the quality of service that they provide for the customer is gone for this business. Solid, professional, with a great business ethic. Thanks Bill and Matt the tech!

Review №32

These guys know exactly what they’re talking about and were willing to put in the hard work and time to take care of an older vehicle. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told my car was fine and and to just ignore the problems that were identified by the professionals at Brakes Plus in 20 minutes. They added so much life to my tired vehicle and treated me with complete kindness and honesty. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have been gifted with such incredible service. I can hardly believe that I’m even driving the same car. Thank you guys so, so much, for your exceptional care and devotion to your work.

Review №37

Its a good place. I went in for an alignment, and they told me I had some more things wrong with the suspension. They gave me a price for the work, and I told them that was out of my price range. They worked with me to get my car road safe within a price range I could afford. I would recommend Brakes Plus to anyone in need of auto service.

These guysn did a good job: both when I had my oil changed and they let me wait for my car on that one. they did a good job on replacing my rfear struts one thing they did have issues with parts delivery, but they did get me done same day. they dont have time to talk, however they did explain the services they did. I will, probably go to this place again when I need service on my car.

This place was amazing! I had just moved to Lincoln and this Brakes Plus was recommended to me when I needed a mechanic. I was able to get my car in on Saturday, they have a key drop box so I could leave it Friday evening, and after looking at it the manager called me and gave a thorough explanation of what he recommended be fixed. He was open and honest, welcomed my questions, didn’t rush or pressure me, and threw in the alignment (and later one rear caliper!) for free. He was very friendly, fair, and professional. I will be going here for all my car repairs!!!

I dropped my car off 2 hours prior to my appointment for an alignment and suspension inspection. I called an hour and fifteen minutes after my appointment time, and they still hadnt looked at my car. After another hour, I came to pick up my car. According to my eyes and their alignment report, the rear wheels were still out of alignment vertically -- they blamed this on the shocks. While driving home, I noticed the car pulling very hard to the right, indicating that the front of the car is still out of alignment.I am very dissappointed with my entire experience with this shop and will not be returning.

Review №46

There are not enough amazing things to say about Joel and the crew down at this Breaks Plus location! I went in last week needing my breaks and a belt replaced, and the work they did was outstanding and reasonably priced! They made sure I was taken care of from the beginning to the end of the whole process, explaining everything they were doing and why it was needed. As someone who doesnt have a lot of knowledge about how cars work, they helped me understand the problems with my car. They also informed me that my cv axles needed to be replaced and were able to give me a quote, never once pressuring me to get it fixed right then and there. After shopping around and realizing their prices just could not be beat, I went back today to have them replaced. My car now runs and feels better than the day i bought it. It was such a pleasure working with those guys. I felt comfortable leaving my car in their care. Even though i live in Omaha, I will always consider coming to Lincoln to have them work on my vehicle needs as well recommend them to anyone who needs their services. It was a great experience from beginning to end! Thanks for all the great work guys!

FYI I have never written a google review before, and have only done a couple of reviews anywhere. I only do them when I get EXCEPTIONAL service and treatment.My car overheated on a simple trip across town. I stopped in at Brakes Plus - Pine Lake and asked them to take a look. After the nicest chewing out Ive ever had (for not keeping my maintenance schedule) General Manager Joel Mosser gave me my keys and sent me on my way. He made several suggestions, particularly since Im heading out of town next week for a few days, and wished me luck. I will recommend them to any and all who want to hear it.

Pine Lake Brakes Plus has been very great to me. BMW cars are always welcomed at this place. Justin has always shown his professionalism. Justin is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and overall cares about his customers and their cars.

My wife and I went into brakes plus to get some work done on our cars and we are so blessed that we did. The customer service was very professional and outstanding. Not only did they do an awesome job working on our cars, they helped us find a way to save money for our family and not all businesses fo that. I want to give a special shout out to Joel M and Justin B for taking the time to explain in depth what was going on and providing a solution that helps us tremendously. I wont be do business with any other auto store. BRAKES PLUS IS THE PLACE!!!!

Review №57

Excellent customer service. The technicians are thorough when going over your car’s inspection, including bringing you out to see the vehicle yourself so you can see what needs repaired with your own eyes. They have fair pricing that is clearly written out on the menu board. They even give discounts and commonly have specials on oil changes. They have better prices and better wait times than most of the shops in town. They even offer a free shuttle so you don’t necessarily have to wait for lengthier repairs. I used to change my own oil, but the inspection that they offer provides peace of mind that I wouldn’t otherwise get and all for the same price as is I did it myself.

Review №59

My gut had told me that something was wrong with my car, and as I looked for a quality place for an oil change, I saw the wonderful reviews of Brakes Plus and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed! I was correct that something was wrong with my car and the folks at Brakes Plus were kind enough to explain it to me in a way I understood and walk me through the process of what needed to happen next. Best prices in town, I walked away from my very short waiting time impressed and knew I found the new mechanics for my car. Thanks for treating me like family and taking care of my car as if it was your own, gentleman! Ill be back for my next oil change (on time this time, I promise!)

I have had a bad experience with these guys. My engine was dying soon after being started. Brakes plus mechanics told that my fuel pump was not good. They offered me to change the fuel pump for $850. I towed my car to Baxter Toyota. After checking the computer of my Camry 2011, they found out that one of the fuses was misplaced and another was missing. Engine of my car began working perfectly without replacing fuel pump. Conclusion: Brakes plus has no good mechanics!

Review №73

*repost- posted on 48th, meant to post Pine Lake** lol! (Sorry Joel)For starters, very few places I have encountered have been the complete package for all around vehicle care. Personally, I use my truck for commercial use, so my experience has been from excessive wear and tear and usage, versus the normal daily driver. And when I came to brakes plus the difference in level of service was the first thing I noticed. Most shops in Lincoln have one or two good factors offset by negative factors, for example...you get brakes done but the techs don’t point out other system needs’ while they’re under the rack, or you’ll get a backyard mechanic who did great work on fords but could be seen YouTubing your chevy’s needs before even diagnosing the issue to you. Sometimes you’ll see an understaffed shop and the interior elements of the outfit are in need of attention, (bathrooms, exteriors, unkept work areas). So watching this outfit operate was eye opening that a higher expectation level could be brought here to Lincoln and raise the bar.What is even more impressive is the knowledge and training that comes with the quality of techs they hire. The old saying “hire character and train skill” is inapplicable because they hired both. I have been a repeat customer for this reason, for the money I have spent in repairs due to my job and workload that my truck performs, I am more than confident in saying I have still saved thousands in potential issues that they prevented by just knowing their job, and applying that experience to their service. I recommend having Joel and his team lead your vehicles needs and overall care, and if they have suggestions and insight into your vehicles safety and performance, your wallet will thank you for listening; my vehicle IS my office, and trusting it to them has proven effective several times over in keeping it on the road. One last mention, it’s a very clean shop compared to some of Lincoln’s other options, which goes a long way in customer reassurance and confidence.

Review №85

This new location is really a breath of fresh air when comparing to other car repair businesses in the area. Costco recommend Brakes Plus to me for an alignment evaluation. Brakes Plus made a recommendation but didnt pressure me buy anything. I took the quote home and compared it to other jobs done by dealerships nearby who were at least 25% higher. So, I returned and am so pleased that I did. They had a clean shop, including the restroom, hot coffee, and friendly staff. Service Mgr Joel checked on me a couple of times and Service Assoc Justin advised me about the repairs being done on my car. While I waited, I learned about various car systems on their streaming TV service and auto diagrams on the walls. Location is easy to get to with several places within walking distance where you can go to grab a bite to eat. You can also get a ride, if you need it. This place is all about getting your vehicle into great shape at super reasonable prices (including financing). Its a place youll tell others about. Thats how good they are!
