Great service, next day turnaround
I had such a great experience with Budd & Co. today! I got a nail in my tire and happened to be nearby, so I called to see if they could help with a quick tire repair. They told me to pull in, and Dell helped me fix the tire within literally 5 minutes. What really surprised me was that they did it as a courtesy and…
The service was fast, the staff was friendly and helpful, and they had me back out on the road the next day. 10/10, no notes.
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.
People there are extremely helpful and nice, I got the complimentary rides to work and back, replaced my tire the same day, and they are extremely nice and patient to explain what happened with the tire. I even noticed my interior screens were cleaned too.
Awesome service! They went to the trouble of going to the Volvo dealership (twice!) to get new tire locks for our car at no additional charge. Super friendly! Shout out to Alejandro, Aaron and the whole crew!
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…
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.
Dell helped me a lot. Greatly appreciated
I had a flat tire and i got towed into the shop. I was out 10 or 15 minutes later and wasn’t charged for the patch. Everyone there was super nice too!!
Excellent place, fun stuff, nice reading material and extremely generous (:
I love this place. Everyone is so happy and helpful! Thank you for doing what you do and making it look easy. Highly recommended
I had a leak in one of my tires and walked in to have it checked. Got it patched up and ready to go within 15 minutes. Best of all, they did this free of charge. I live close to this business and it was my first time bringing my car in. My experience was top notch and I think I’ll start bringing my car in for all…
Fantastic service. Quick, professional and kind. I’ve been here 3 times now and the team has always been terrific. This isn’t even close to my house but I’ll happily make the trip to stay loyal. Not often can you trust mechanics completely. I do with Budd & Co
I have taken my Subaru forester here several time and the crew here is really friendly and they get things done quickly!!
Service was done reasonably quickly. After they finished since it was raining it would have been nice if the van could have been ready to drive off at one of the bay doors. They have several with plenty of space. Instead it was parked down the street and I had to walk around outside and inside around the…
Unfortunately very mixed first-time-customer experience. Came in for swapping winter tires. Good: - Good resting area with snacks and drinks - power washed my summer tires and wrapped them up before loading into my car Bad: - Tire mounted to the wrong rims and installed on the wrong axles (car has a staggered…
Have you seen those curbs in downtown Seattle that jut out onto the road? (Yesler & James) On a dark, rainy, morning and with a single lane half blocked with cones- as I turned my sedan and drove straight over that curb and blew out my front and back passenger tires immediately! So 7am. I call AAA, I have to select…
Honestly the best repair service in Seattle. They've been caring for my old 98 Cherokee for ages and through 3 owners, the service has been stellar. Ten stars!
Super service 👍🏻
