Flawless transaction. Even with having to get parts in, my car was serviced and repaired in one day. I’m quite happy with this work.
They carefully and thoroughly diagnosed the problem and explained the solution clearly, including regular maintenance in the future.
i LOVE budd & co! they always get me in ! even next day! always helpful & honest! highly recommend!!!!
Excellent service. Got me in right away for a fluid flush.
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.
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…
Had an amazing experience here. Friendly peoples The service was detailed. Even followed up post service. Completely satisfied with the experience.
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.
Great work fast professional service
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…
Genuinely the best car shop ive come across! I just moved to the Seattle area and my car is my life line, i was so nervous that I wouldnt be able to afford the repairs, especially after being to so many shops that heavily upcharged. Brian was able to help me figure out a plan that worked best for me and they fixed…
Absolutely the best service! I'll never go anywhere else.
My brakes were in need of some serious maintenance. Brian helped get my car serviced and back on the road quickly and efficiently. Fairly priced. Amazing customer service!!
Budds does great work and the owner and employees are very friendly! My parents bring their car here so I felt confident bringing mine too.
i’ve had my car seen here a couple times and the service is always fast and reliable. everyone i interact with is really friendly and professional. glad to be calling this my new auto shop!
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.
I recently had my 2014 Prius V serviced at Budd and Co. Happy with their work and I will be a returning customer!
I have owned my 72 cheverolet Truck for 12 years. During that time, I have always have had issues with my front end steering. I have taken it in for alignment 4 times to different shops and been given clean bills of health. And after paying for new sterring box, new shocks and a multitude of other assorted parts…
New Review guys. Brought my 2018 Ford Escape in for SPA day. You know…pampering of the vehicle. You know a little lube job, new break pads, check fluids and oil change. My car loved the tire rotation. Budd and company are the “hawks” in Seahawk of professionals. Trust all my work with em.
I have been going to Budd for my car needs since about 1988. So friendly, trustworthy, skilled, & reliable!!!
Budd & Company Automotive went above and beyond in its service to my vehicle. In fact, they didn't go an extra mile in their service of my vehicle, but 1,000 miles! The people at Budd & Company Automotive are HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, RELIABLE, REASONABLE, and AFFORDABLE in the service they provide their customers.…
Quite simply: Exemplary customer service, quality work, and a fair price.
Great service, I feel I can trust their work and their pricing. They have done various different work on my Chevy truck over many years. I can recommend these guys
The guys at Budd & Co are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. They always shoot me straight with no extras that I don’t need. I will continue to have all my cars serviced here.
They are very friendly, helpful and efficient. Saved the day!
Budd’s has been my shop for years. Reliable pros, fair and honest. Easy to work with, great communication. They do a huge volume of business, but it’s always easy to schedule because they’re really efficient.
This place is great! I trust them and they have done right for me for over 10 years
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!
Absolutely my favorite auto shop in Seattle. Quick, professional, honest, and fair priced. Look no further.
I keep using Budd & Co because they are a no nonsense shop. Mike is friendly and courteous and gives you the facts.
These guys just flat out do great work. Mike, who runs the place, is a real straight shooter and is very professional. I’ve been taking my vehicles here for almost 10 years and they always take care of me. Prices are reasonable and they treat their customers like family. What more could you ask for?
Budd and Co. are the model of what auto repair shops should be. For example, I brought in my Subaru Outback for a routine oil change. The previous shop had said that the brake pads were basically done, and should be replaced immediately, at the next opportunity. Budd and Co. looked at them, measured the wear, and…
Great guys. Good service. Overall very satisfied. They fixed up my old Blazer and have it running great!
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.
Budd & Co is my go-to for service in the south end where I live. I appreciate their friendly, effective, and professional service for my Jeep.
These guys are the best, hands down. They are extremely knowledgeable, and have the highest standards of quality and integrity. The most important thing is to be able to TRUST your mechanic and Mike and the guys earn that trust every day. If there’s an issue they fix it promptly and professionally. If I could give…
