I always take my car to Christian Brothers in Grapevine off 114. They seem to be very knowledgeable and have had no problems

how does your engine bay look like, is there a lot of oil all over the engine if so you have a blown gasket. if not what kind of motor oil you use, how many miles does your car have.

Ive used the Christian Brothers in Garland a couple times. They do great work, but they are expensive.

I paid them just over $1500 for a new clutch kit, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and new lines.

Then after looking at the receipt and cross referencing part numbers with Nissan, I noticed something...Yeah they used Nisan OEM parts, but the used the cheap Key Value parts. I was disappointed.

Stay away from Christian bros... they steal.... Don't know your situation but if you have a ride to pick you up, I know of some mechanics in Irving you can drop it off at.

how many miles are on your car?
