First rate techs and fast, solved my emergency issue over the memorial day weekend, towed in on friday, worked on it Monday ready for pick up on Tuesday. Can't say enough about BUDD AND CO
I would like to say thank you so much to Budd and Company on Rainer avenue!! I took my truck in because it was time for an oil change!! Well there were other things that need attention so they took care of that!! Now my truck feels and run like brand new!! With all the fixings that was done I don’t have to go back…
I’m very satisfied and impressed with the service done with my car. The staff esp Alejandro was very helpful honest and very knowledgeable. Thank you !
I have been taking my vehicles in for service since 1997. Always friendly and fast service and at a reasonable price! I have never felt "taken" by them... always felt cared for by Budd and Company. They ROCK!!
Excellent customer service!
Easy to make an appt. Car returned quickly. Keeps my 2013 Scion xD running very well. Knowledgeable and friendly. Won't go anywhere else. Been going there for over 20 years- 5 cars in!
One of the few honest, knowledgeable & professional auto mechanics around. They work hard to work with your schedules. And they’re fast!
Super friendly staff, accommodated me despite the fact that I wasn’t on time, quickly diagnosed and fixed a kind of obscure problem, ended up charging me less than their original estimate, and left a cute little treat for me when I got my car back. I feel very lucky to discover that I live so close to this place and…
Budd & Co got my car taken care of quickly. The staff were friendly and communicated well with me. Would definitely recommend!
Great work always dependable!
I love Budd's! In addition to excellent service, the staff provide friendly, truly respectful, transparent information about what is needed, and can help prioritize repairs for folks like me who need to triage expensive repairs. I've been trusting Budd's with my cars over 40 years; so glad they are still here for us.
Im so happy to have found Budd & Co! Excellent service, solid prices, great work. The team there couldn’t be nicer and my car is back running like it should be.
Budd & Co. are thorough when they do mechanical work. Each time I’ve had a concern, they find the underlying issue and the car drives better than before. Friendly team and great service!
Great repair shop! Knowledgeable, fast, reliable and fair pricing. Repair shop for life.
After visiting two other auto repair shops who were unable to diagnose and fix the problem, I went to Budd & Co. It took awhile but Perfecto, the mechanic on the job, was able to connect two seemingly unrelated problems and figure out that they WERE related and finally diagnose and fix it. Anthony, the service…
These guys are the only place I trust with my older car. If they can’t find the part they can install it when I find it. Great guys!
I trust them completely for all my car maintenance. I cheated on them once with Jiffy Lube in ‘19 and still regret it. Thankfully Budd & Co took me back.
My car’s engine was overheating, and I’d heard great things about Budd & Co. from a friend, so I gave them a try. It turned out to be an extremely easy fix—a faulty radiator cap. While some shops might’ve taken the opportunity to rack up a sizable bill (esp. with someone who doesn’t know much about cars), Budd & Co.…
I trust this shop. Been using it for a while. Took my very old car here to be evaluated before a long trip. Instead of doing lots of costly repairs on a worn out car they advised me not to put more money into it. That is an honest and trustworthy shop!
Replaced the alternator belt. Car is running fine.
Everything went very well. I'm very satisfied
Profesional,,always ready to help!
Mike is great to work with! If anything goes wrong with our vehicles you get a straight answer with what's wrong and never have felt like I was getting the run around. I would recommend Budd & Company to anyone looking for an honest and reliable mechanic.
It is impossible to over state how wonderful Budd's is. We’ve been their customers for 27 years now and will go nowhere else.
Great service.
Mike went above and beyond to make sure me and my vehicle were taken care of in the best possible way. They found that the issue should be covered under manufacturers warranty and let me know taking it to the dealership would save me the cost of an expensive repair. When the dealership gave me a hard time, Mike…
I have taken my car to Budd & Co for repairs for a few years now and have always been pleased with their honest, efficient and professional service. Many years ago, as I was passing the repair shop, a technician waved me in due to a visible low tire. He took care if it and I was on my way. In my recent visit,…
