Easy booking, friendly staff, and timely service. Oil changed with synthetic for a great price. Thanks guys!
they were fast and professional with their service and inspections, provided a detailed estimate of work, and kept me informed of the repairs process / were accommodating to my insurance estimator
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!
The reception was easy, the work was done fairly quickly. Though I got a wrong final receipt/invoice that says I declined two service I did not ask them to do. This is minor and did not affect the total pricing, but still...Oil change did not come with routine checks that is one thing to note.
VERY fast and friendly service! free coffee and treats! lots of parking space. very informative as well and they're great with prioritizing auto needs and assisting with payment. i didnt need to worry about a thing. i will definitely be going back😎
The whole team is professional and easy to talk to ! They take time to explain everything . You get a printout of what’s been done and what coming up so you can budget your car maintenance! No pressure and they do an incredible job ! Waiting area is comfy and clean and clean bathroom to use complimentary water and…
Budds has always been a great place to take my car, good customer service, convenient location and fast turn around.
I had done some research on best shops to take my car into and saw good reviews for this place. I called ahead and told them what I needed and asked for a quote - he told me $67. When I went in, the front desk quoted me $2,000 for a bunch of random recommendations. I said no to all of them except what I came in for…
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.
Excellent experience getting my car serviced Andrew Santana was very professional and helpful <3 Definitely will be coming back !
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!
i LOVE budd & co! they always get me in ! even next day! always helpful & honest! highly recommend!!!!
Great price, great customer service! Fixed my climate control unit for $200 less than Midas quoted me and did a complimentary ac recharge. Everyone working there is very friendly and helpful, and their pricing is very transparent. Aaron and Alejandro were particularly helpful. Highly recommend!
Good price for oil change, very helpful inspection included. Sends written up findings with photos as needed. Gives clear options to approve or decline additional work without pressuring you. I will return for future car maintenance.
This was my second visit to Budd & Company for (2) different issues. Both times I was treated well and my issues were taken care of. Their shop is clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and made sure I understood the charges for the work being done. I will continue to use them for future service issues.
Very friendly and professional. Clean and comfortable waiting area. Fast and efficient service.
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…
Visiting for a promotional oil change. Customer service was excellent! Friendly staff, made sure I understood the work being done as well as the work needing to be done. BUDD has been in my community for many years, this was my first visit but I will definitely be returning.
Quick, simple and Awesome team!!! The guys are great and very informative.
The best 2 experiences I've had at an auto shop, probably... ever? Aaron, Brian and Chelle are so friendly and personable, and the mechanics are incredibly efficient. Although I hope I don't have to come back anytime soon😅, when there is an issue I'll def be coming here again. Thank you
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.
Budd and company were really helpful in getting an issue fixed with my car that was cutting my mpg in half. Turns out the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. Their prices were quite fair and they were really transparent about the costs at each point
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!!
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!
I brought my car in for a quick oil change and inspection. The whole appointment only took an hour and the staff was super friendly. The biggest call out is this shops transparency on required and suggested services. They provide pictures of test results ran on your vehicle to validate the need for the service. In…
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…
These guys are ROCKSTARS!!! Showed up late on a Friday for an oil change and Brian and Alejandro fit me in before close!! Super reasonable price for full synthetic oil change (beat the name brand chains pricing in the area by a sizable margin) and super quick! Highly recommend taking your car here, I’ll be coming back :)
The guys there are super awesome
Came in for an oil change. Scheduled it day of. Easily got an appointment. The garage team and office guys were all very welcoming. Most reasonable price Ive paid for oil change in Seattle. As a young lady i usually feel targeted for naiveness in auto shops, but I did not feel that here at all and they didn’t try to…
Great place. Staff is very friendly and very good at doing exactly what you need them to do.
Oil change- they were very prompt and the price was right! Excellent job!
I have taken my Subaru forester here several time and the crew here is really friendly and they get things done quickly!!
I was referred to this location, reasonable prices. The staff was professional and efficient, and everything was handled smoothly. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future car maintenance.
Honest and reliable.
Professional, courteous and quick service with fair prices!
I called earlier last week to make an appt for a Friday oil change for my 2014 Honda accord. Super easy, but ended up having to call morning of to reschedule due to a work meeting. Greg assured me that was no issue & let me know he could take me around 2:30p that afternoon. (I got the sense that he did that out of…
Literally the worst experience I have ever had at an auto shop. I made an appointment for the morning for an oil change and inspection. I dropped off my car on time and they said they would get to it later (even though I had an appointment). I asked what time I should get my car, emphasizing I needed it back later…
