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!
Long ago customer who returned for reliable service. Most gratified that the charges were either comparable to or even somewhat lower than what would have been the case at our vehicle's flagship dealership.
Budd &Co is a neighborhood shop and I decided to try them out recently when my clutch was having trouble. They were fantastic! They got me in and diagnosed the issue quickly. Not only were they fair with pricing but they helped with finding some discounts when I faced a big repair. They fixed my car in a very…
Friendly staff, efficient work and very reasonably priced.
First rate techs and fast, solved my emergency issue over the memorial day weekend, towed in on friday, worked on it Monday ready for pick up on Tuesday. Can't say enough about BUDD AND CO
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 !
Anthony provided us with an excellent experience by addressing the challenges with our car, performing proper diagnostics, and making sure our insurance had the correct documentation, which helped us receive payment for our repairs. Thank you, Budd, and special thanks to Anthony.
I'm usually VERY wary of automotive repair shops but Budd & Company has sincerely been nothing but a joy. They are super accommodating, transparent, and reasonable. I can say with full confidence that they go above and beyond to get you right especially at a time when you just want your car fixed. Really can't recommend them enough.
Brian and the Budd & co. team were exceptional. They helped me navigate a transmission crisis and treated me like family.
I got my 2016 Subaru Impreza 5-speed manual transmission replaced here. They were quick, helpful and fair. Not always the fastest at returning calls and providing updates. Price was reasonable at Budd, but still marginally higher than the other quote I got, but I don't regret getting the work done here. They also…
Buen servicio.
Great work always dependable!
Great experience at Budd & Company Automotive. Gregg helped with my transmission and coolant service, explained everything clearly, and made the process simple. Honest, professional, and reliable — highly recommend!
Mike and the team are efficient and communicate well. Super happy with the service and you will be, too!
After visiting two other auto repair shops who were unable to diagnose and fix the problem, I went to Budd & Co. It took awhile but Perfecto, the mechanic on the job, was able to connect two seemingly unrelated problems and figure out that they WERE related and finally diagnose and fix it. Anthony, the service…
I had car problems while visiting from out of state. I had to manage the repair long distance and they made everything so easy. The repair was great and I was able to finish the whole process with no problems
Budd & Co is great! Fast and thorough. Inexpensive! Very responsive too. I highly recommend them
This place is great! I trust them and they have done right for me for over 10 years
Budd & Co has taken car of our old Ford since we got it and we couldn't be happier with the service and work.
