Have been coming here for a few years now and I always direct folks in need of a good auto shop to Budd & Company, even those on the east side of the lake. Tara was incredibly kind and I'm always appreciative of the transparency the shop offers through their service and the Lyft back to the shop once service was done!
Great customer service and thier quote came in way below the other opinion I received. My dad told me about Budd & Co. years ago but I never brought my car here because its not near my house. After this service, Budd & Co. will be my regular auto service go-to!
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.
This company is straight up reputable. I had an issue with a brake caliper that had a manufacturer defect that made my car break down on the road. They took care of replacing that caliper and the damaged parts associated with the failure. They fixed it in a day without charge. That’s good business!
All around great experience from the team at Budd & co! Friendly and helpful guys, affordable, quick and great service for my car. I appreciate you guys so much!
I own a 2014 car, and at that age, things pop up. I can count on Budd’s regular servicing to maintain my vehicle and catch any issues before they become a real problem. Would and have recommended them to others
Always honest and dependable. Big fan.
Good👍
Friendly, professional, easy to schedule, explained well and listened giving me choices, and they washed my car
Excellent service after accepting my truck without an appointment because of braking concerns, like the rear brakes weren’t working! Very happy with the repair and cost, especially compared to dealer maintenance. They are now my go to shop for the 2 vehicles in the family.
Recommended by my partner for a repair I messed up. They were quick and professional. Awesome energy
Brought my car in for an oil change, brake system flush, and a general inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was fast, the staff was knowledgeable, and the pricing was fair without any surprise charges. What really stood out was that they went beyond just the car work. When I…
Always great customer service and communication. These folks do quality work in a timely manner at a totally fair price. I highly recommend them.
Great staff! The front office staff were on top of all issue and very communicative up front, no going back and forth and we’re just giving straight honest opinions and options. They helped me get my 2010 Nissan SUV back up and running with 4 brand new brakes and A/C repair within 2 days! Granted, I do not drive my…
These guys went above and beyond. Customer service is amazing. Brian is top tier. Even called and paid for a Lyft while my Porsche was being worked on so I could make it to a meeting. Car was ready when I got back!
In a city full of brand new teslas, Budd & Co saw my gorgeous girl Cynthia for the gift she is (and also saw the anxious attachment I have to my 30+ year old beater wit a heater). Aaron at the front desk was kind, helpful, and had an amazing sense of humor. I shared my previous experience going to mechanics as a…
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!!
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.
Customer service was so attentive it almost felt rehearsed. Also noticed they were kind & patient with an older woman who was kind of a difficult customer. Pricing was strongly competitive, communication was good. Highly reccomend.
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!
