I took my Subaru Forester in for an AC repair. The quote came quickly, was detailed and clear, and the price competitive. This isn’t the cheapest shop you can find but I fee It has the best quality of service for the price point. Definitely wonderful value. The staff were all helpful and great to chat to. Would definitely recommend.

They were patient with my lack of knowledge and were willing to work within my budget. They were communicative throughout the entire process and sufficiently answered any questions I had. Repairs were done in a timely manner and I felt I was valued as a customer. Would definitely go to them again in the future and recommend their services.

Went in with my Tacoma for a 100,000 miles check up, and I am so glad I did. They started with an oil change to also assess the state of the vehicle. Within a couple of hours, I had a full inspection and recommendation report with pictures, explanations, and coded urgency for each repair. Very clear and easy to…

My go to spot for my car maintenance. The guys at Budd & Co are always so thorough and helpful. Moved to Seattle last December and started going there with my old car. Recent got a new car and immediately took it in for some minor maintenance. Always great prices and very accommodating people.
