There really is no such thing as "inexpensive" quality automobile repair in Seattle in the post-COVID era, but that said, the team at Budd & Company is unmatched in terms of knowledge/expertise *and* friendliness. (And hey, I first moved here in 1980!!)
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!

Efficient. Professional. Delivered on their promise. Good organization.
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,…
