Brakes & More

Nov 23, 2024

I trust Art and crew with all my vehicles and kids vehicles. Have been using Brakes and more for nearly 40 yrs. Although not close to home I’ll drive across town every time. There are none more honest these fellas in all of Baton Rouge.

Mr. Art is an honest mechanic! Just in the 20 minutes I met him as he inspected my car, I knew I could trust his opinion. He talked me through what was wrong/wasn’t wrong & gave me more information than any dealership has. He even filled my tires up with air!! Great business!!

Friendly, fast turnaround and reasonable prices.

Got quoted an astronomical price for new front brake pads and rotors. Took it here and they did the work for half the price. My new go-to shop! Highly recommend.

Although, they're busy, and it's best to call ahead and see when they can take you, they do a excellent job of getting you in and out as quickly and inexpensively as possible. I take my car to them as a first choice. Call them first and they will advise you if they can help you or not.

Always takes care of my vehicles. Mr. Art has worked on my family's cars for about 40 years and specifically on my personal vehicles for over 19 years. Never had an upsale or more-work-than-needed type of issue. If its a simple fix, they are happy to handle it at a reasonable price

Art has been working on my fiancée vehicles for over 10 years, and mine for 7 years. I've seen him treat every customer with respect, and go above and beyond to help me and my fiancée out when we were financially in a bind. He's always explained why something is good or bad, what he thinks you should do, and if you only have the finances for part of what needs to be done, he will instruct you "Get this first, it's most important", etc. Overall just a great person. If he can't fix something, or doesn't work on a specific part, he tells you up front. You don't get that level of service most places these days. 100% recommended!

I was referred to Brakes & More by McDonald's Tire II when I needed some repairs done that McDonald's didn't handle. I've been to B&M multiple times since that initial visit due to the wonderful experience I received. Being female, I'm wary by default when I have to interact with a mechanic, but Mr. Art is a gem & I immediately knew I was in good hands. I've since been here for multiple reasons & I've always been met with kindness and never "talked down to" as women sometimes experience in a male-focused environment. Not to mention the efficiency when it comes to their work. I have complete trust in the quality of their work and never have I overpaid for any service or felt like I'm being taken advantage of. We have two vehicles in my household and both are brought to B&M for our needs.

I went to Mr. Art after a local shop on O’Neal lane quoted me thousands of dollars and told me I would be better off selling it. Mr. Art said that nothing was wrong and that the only thing he see is when my daddy had the car someone welded the strut plate on to the car. So if I could find somebody to grind that off and get my car lined up I should be good. He has my business for a lifetime!

If I could give Art & his team 1000 stars, I would. I recently moved to Baton Rouge and was having some car troubles so I took it to Chabills to get checked out, they said it was going to be roughly $4000 to fix all of the brake issues & another $750 to fix the throttle body. Not wanting to spend almost $5k, I took it to Art for a second opinion and boy am I glad I did. He was able to fix the throttle body & brake issues for $800 and referred me to a tire shop up the road to get 4 new tires. All in I spent roughly $1400 and my car has never run smoother than it is right now. I can’t thank Art enough for being such an honest & fair mechanic, he is now the only person I trust in Baton Rouge to work on my vehicle & I will refer as many people to him as I possibly can. If you’re looking for an honest and skilled mechanic, Art at Brakes & More is your guy!

Really high quality food with a great looking restaurant.

They are the best, Art are you closed until after the holidays

This is a VERY HONEST repair shop. Art will NOT charge you for things that you don't need, like other repair shops would. The prices are affordable and the service repair is great and done quickly. He has a lot of clients and that is a testament to the great work he does and the fair prices that he charges. I left a former repair shop that I used to go because they began to price gouge after COVID to recoup losses during the pandemic while their shop was closed. Brakes and More was suggested by a family member, and it was the best suggestion ever for my car repairs. There are not too many quality and honest car repair shops out there, but BRAKES AND MORE IS AS HONEST AS THEY COME. I cant say enough good things about this place!

This is the best and most fair mechanic I’ve ever done business with. He fixed my Camry issues and had me back on the road quickly. Expertise plus honest ,dependable service work. I will continue to take my vehicles to Brakes & More.

Dec 07, 2023

Trustworthy. Art takes a lot of pride in his work.

Art and Gene are awesome mechanics with great knowledge. We always feel confident when they work on our cars!

Dec 07, 2022

Art and Gene are incredible. They're honest and straightforward. They don't try to beat people across their heads with outrageous prices. This is what keeps people coming back.

Dec 07, 2022

My dad (86 years old) recently had trouble with his truck while driving to Baton Rouge for a visit. The problem caused his truck to shift into limp mode; just enough for him to get off the highway and into the first "mechanic" shop he could find. The shop offered to diagnose the problem for $50, repairs above that. He fortunately decided to get a cup of coffee and let the truck rest instead. He completed his trip without problem and arrived safely. I took him to Brakes and More the next day. He left two hours later with a total bill, diagnosis and repair, of $31.90. Brakes and More is my first stop for anything automotive. Without exception I have found this shop brutally honest and fairly priced. Art once recommended last rites for my wife's car, for free. They are not shy about saying they cannot perform a repair and will refer you to the proper shop that can. Stellar place for preventative maintenance at a reasonable price. This keeps me from the catastrophic problems later with the catastrophic price tags. Thank you Art! There aren't many shops like yours left in this world.

My entire family (including myself) goes to Brakes n’ More and we have been customers for the last 20+ years. I believe “honest” mechanics are a dying breed and Art (the owner) is one of the few that are left. He always does good quality work for a very reasonable price.

This place deserves 0 stars I took my car here for a motor mount replacement it left there worse than it came for $600
