Excellent customer service. Clearly explain work that needs to be done. No overselling. The work completed on the electrical system in my car more than met expectations. Everything works now!
Friendly, helpful staff, excellent work and reasonable prices. They frequently replace key batteries and check and repair tires at no cost. I highly recommend them for car service and repairs.
Budd & Company repaired wire damage to my car caused by rats, and were great with communication! Prices seemed very reasonable, but the staff themselves are the real stars here. Everyone I chatted with was exceedingly kind and helpful, and I will certainly be coming back if I need any assistance in the future!
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!
Excellent service from Mr. Brian Peck—very professional. 100% recommended.
While getting an oil change Jimmy noticed a problem with the radiator. After explaining it to me we decided the radio needed to be replaced. They scheduled the job 24 hours after the decision and my old Toyota is now in good shape. The work gets done well & efficiently. Jimmy is great at explaining issues, listens…
Had an emergency starter issue and they were able to order the part while I drove there and replaced it without having to wait all day or come back. Was in a tight situation and they came through for me. First time there so made a good impression and I will be back.

I originally came to this shop because it was rated 4.8 on goggle maps, and yeah the service reps are nice, when you don't know that they're trying to rip you off. I came in with a specific problem, they diagnosed a broken part, and ordered a new one. They were going to charge me over $300 for the part, despite the…
Fast,courteous, affordable.
Budd & Co have done repair and maintenance on several of my families vehicles in the past few years. Most recently they did a brake service on my car as well as tracked down a rain leak that was soaking my carpets. And when my daughter's car was stolen recently they did the repairs to get her back on the road. All…
Budd & Company was an amazing experience. They give outstanding service and have honed the skills to be a top tier customer service establishment. Anthony was particularly great! I 100% refer them to everyone I know!
Had to have our car towed in. They let me know it had arrived. Then did testing to find the problem. Called me and sent over their findings, to approve the work. Greg was my main contact. He was courteous, friendly, and went out of his way to help. We are so excited to have a shop close to home. We definitely…
