I believe Just Brake is a big scam. People whose are reading these article, please stay out of this company. I took my Honda Accord to change the brake pads and shoes. I know a little that how to change all these stuffs but didn’t take a chance to do this myself. I took it there and after 10 minutes they gave me a estimate of $661 bill. They said, I have to do brake fluid flash, change the rotor, shape the caliper, and these will rebuild the braking performance. I said that I don’t have money to do all these work. Just do the $99 job. After 10 minutes later some one call me and 1st they told me that they are having a really hard time to set my brake system. I need to change the front rotor work. Then they gave me an offer that they could do it at $280 with the front brake system, I said no and again they offered me for $228 and again I said no. In the evening I took a $10 coupon to take my car and the funny thing is they don’t take the coupon. I got the coupon “it says over $100 job, $10 off”
My total bill was 99.88+$6+tax$4= $109.88 which is not qualified with $10 off.
This Just brake located on Scenic Hwy corner, Snell-ville, GEORGIA 30078.
The Just brake company should change their name and keep a new name like
“Just money brake”.
I am really not happy with their this kind of puffer y advertising and their bluffing to the customers. I think some one should make a legal action about this scam store. I don’t have any hard evidence to do prove their bluffing.
People stay away from this company and do your brake work in a small workshop where you will probably not ripped off.

I’ve never used Just Brakes, but after reading all these reviews, it doesn’t sound like a good idea. Thanks for the warning.

I have my truck there now. It started out as the 99.00$ then a 45.95 requried service. prior to this they found a leaking caliper. now I am up another 169.00$, After, agreeing here it comes again. for another 300.00$ I need new calipers but they said some hard wear costing 49.00$ is also requried, this was the last straw. I was told there is no price markup for parts, rebuilding is another option which is cheaper than the purchase of parts. Well currently my 99$ hopeful is now 390.00$, which really sucks. I will have additional required work needed to be completed for another 500.00$ I think going somewhere else is a better Ideal…… I too shall call the corporate office. I write again once I pick up vehicle.

Yes, I had a bad experience with Just Brakes, I allowed therm to cause me to spend $280.00 and had the same complaint when I left thst I came with and they say theres nothing they casn do to correct my problem. I wish I had checked them out first, They display the Better Business Bureau sign in their office, I think I’ll let them know.DW

Last week I filed a police report–Just Brakes unscrewed my brake line and caused me to lose braking power. I’m currently seeking full, legal recourse. I’ll keep this websited posted on my progress.

So I went to just brakes a week. Ago to service my 2009 galant and they told me I needed so many thing and it was gonna cost over 400 and I refused and told he just to do what I asked for which is the 99.98 service and they started telling me not taking there. Diagnostics voids the warranty and I was idgaf I should of looked online and researched first and one week later I took it to another shop which does free inspection and they said nothing was wrong but he stupid fuc**ing brakes were put on wrong so much for certified technicians

I just had to loan $300 to a friend who was “bent over” by these con artists. They told him that their “safety regulations” prohibited them from putting the car back together and releasing it to him. (This is BS – it’s your property – call the police for help)

They told him he needed new rotors and pads on the front brakes, and they even charged him for replacing the sensors (which seems like a big lie because his “Brake” light was on in the car so that sensor is working, and the metal pin that makes the squealing sound comes with the pad automatically, so which one are they charging him for?)… the manager was pretty confrontational and had a reply for everything I could say.

My dad is a mechanic and he gets the same pads for $36 (not the $105 but Just Scum said they cost)… he’s also known current and former employees and he says that corporate policy is to get $850 from each customer who comes in. My friend was “lucky” to only get hit for about $500 on his 2000 Oldsmobile Catera.

I got my brakes serviced at Just Brakes last week. My car was running smoothly before I took it in to get serviced. After getting my brakes serviced my car is now making a very loud humming noise as I drive down the road. It is so loud I can barely talk on my cell phone. Now that I’ve read these posts it is no doubt JustBrakes did something fishy.

Yep, this should be titled “Just Brakes, just Scum” The corruption goes from the local employees who pull any trick to get money out of you all the way to the corporate office that train them.

In my case I call them out on it and refused to give in in they sabataged my truck! They loosened my brake fittings and my transmission drain plug and now there are spots all over my driveway! they WILL damage you vehicle!!
