Budds has always been a great place to take my car, good customer service, convenient location and fast turn around.
I wanted to share my experience with Budd & Co. from my visit in August. I had been a longtime customer of Greg’s Japanese Motor, so making the transition to a new shop was important to me. My experience started off a little rocky with some confusion about my appointment, but the district manager stepped in and got…
Everyone was great, including the nice young man helping with parking.
I’ve been bringing my BMW to Budd & Company Automotive on Rainier Ave for the past several years, and I’ve always had a great experience. The service has consistently been reliable, honest and high quality. Brian has been especially incredible to work with. He’s always helpful, responsive and takes the time to make…
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
Budd's is my local, really effective, auto repair shop. I feel confident about the diagnostics, quality and pricing.
Excellent customer service. Good timely communication. Upbeat and kind. And, the car is running great!
Superb service, knowledgeable staff, and trustworthiness are hallmarks of my many years using Budd and Co. to take care of my vehicle. Thank you Brian, Tara, and all the staff!
Always honest and dependable. Big fan.
Friendly, professional, easy to schedule, explained well and listened giving me choices, and they washed my car
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!
They were kind efficient and cost conscious. They also kept me informed of everything. I can’t recommend them enough.
Always great customer service and communication. These folks do quality work in a timely manner at a totally fair price. I highly recommend them.
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…
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…
I’m very satisfied and impressed with the service done with my car. The staff esp Alejandro was very helpful honest and very knowledgeable. Thank you !
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.
