Kyle and the team did a great job delivering same day perfection after anticipating a two day repair.
Had a good experience with Budd & Co after having remarkably negative experiences with both Honda service departments in the area. They were proactive with their communication, sent over clear videos of what the issues they found were, and explained their findings clearly over the phone. Pricing was reasonable, the…
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!
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
We had a seamless experience at Budd & Company with correcting our suspension and wheel alignment. Highly recommend this place!
I appreciated that they were happy to show me the issues that were causing problems with the suspension. Service was unbelievably prompt and all completed by close of business on a Friday.
I received service that was affordable, professional, and my car repair was excellent.
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!!
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…
What an absolute bunch of pros. They did an incredible amount of work on my vehicle same day, found the source of my mystery fluid leak, and came in literally thousands under the dealership estimates. In a time when hours and dollars matter more than people, Budd’s team stands out as the best of the best in…
I brought my car in for a new exhaust manifold and replacement of both lower control arms, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel completely at home. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and helped me feel…
I've been to Budd & Co. twice. This week was not their best performance. As part of a $2900 in services including oil change, timing belt, spark plug change, and control arm replacement I had them do "battery service" since I was due for a new one. They left the cable and new battery covered in corrosion dust. And…
I had a great experience at Budd & Company Automotive Service Center. Big thanks to Anthony and Peter for their excellent support, and their staff workers are very helpful. My car was serviced well and fully cleaned, and they quickly fixed a brake issue. I would like to give them a full star for being professional, reliable, and highly recommended!
Great service: all the service reps were very thorough, helpful and great communicators, especially Anthony
A really positive experience. As someone who doesn't know a lot about cars it's always nerve-wracking to try to find a new local mechanic shop. They far exceeded my expectations and even noted and repaired a small issue with my brakes without charging me. I will definitely be returning again! Edit: It's been 2…
Absolutely my favorite auto shop in Seattle. Quick, professional, honest, and fair priced. Look no further.
Excellent service- very quick, very friendly! I was recommended to visit them, and their reputation is well deserved!
Very professional, quality work and friendly atmosphere
Budd & Co has taken car of our old Ford since we got it and we couldn't be happier with the service and work.
Neighborhood mechanic that we trust! My partner and I are unfortunately prone to car issues and Budd & Company always hook us up with a great deal and great service. They have done it all on our cars and we are always happy with the work. Mike is the mechanic we often are talking with and he is professional, kind,…
