Mike went above and beyond to make sure me and my vehicle were taken care of in the best possible way. They found that the issue should be covered under manufacturers warranty and let me know taking it to the dealership would save me the cost of an expensive repair. When the dealership gave me a hard time, Mike actually called the warranty department at the dealership to make sure the repair should be covered. He ended up saving me a lot of money and I appreciated his honesty.
Budd & Company have been my mechanics since I moved here 3 years ago. My car broke down this weekend and I took it there. They replaced my starter free of charge bc it was still under warranty and had oddly failed. They consistently are honest, desiring to inform you thoroughly of your car’s issues & their process, and have excellent customer service. As a woman, where we can easily be taken advantage of, this is such a comfort. I have much gratitude for finding them & am a loyal customer. Highly recommend!
Budd & Co. completely deserve the highest rating. They are professional, polite, timely and a great value. I recommend them to all my friends and neighbors. They really know how to treat customers and they do great work. Five stars!
I brought my 2017 Explorer in for an oil change. They were super fast and flexible with my schedule and were able to have it ready in time for me to leave for work in the morning. Super friendly service!
Good service. Replacing my door handles and lock cylinders was a bit pricey, but the service was beyond. Thank you to Jordan and staff for doing a great job. 💯🙏🏿
I have been going here for two years and would not take my car elsewhere. These guys are knowledgeable, thorough, and always care for the customer.They even serviced my car during the June heatwave, I was impressed with their work ethic.
Highly recommend. They were very honest an easy to work with!
Guys are super nice! Fixed my tires twice! Gonna change oil with them next week!
Gouged me on price (3x avg price according to several sites data) and held my vehicle for a day before they even looked at it. Service was fine which is why I wouldnt say 1 star, but I wont be back.
I came to Budd & Co because I saw a referral in our neighborhood social media. The communication of the staff was top notch. Even though I didnt know what was wrong with my car, they were able to understand what I was trying to ask about and explain the work in a way I could understand, and they were friendly and direct about it. I feel 1000% more confident driving after having them look after me. And the bill was less than I thought it would be!
I took my car in for a second opinion after the dealership gave me a lengthy list of suggested repairs. Budd and Company was a lot more honest in their inspection and ended up saving me hundreds of dollars. Everyone I spoke to was professional, friendly, and very helpful. Ill be bringing my car here from now on.
Very attentive and professional!! Trustworthy and wont quote unneccessary repairs
I took my car here a couple weeks ago and they were very nice and attentive. They fixed my car quickly and i’ll definitely be back if I have any other issues!
Great service, helpful staff, I havent felt like they are trying to upsell me on anything. Thanks guys!
I had a flat tire less than half a mile from Budd & Company. I pulled over and tried changing into the spare, but the lug nuts had been tightened too much. Nothing seemed to work. I called Budd & Company because they were the closest auto repair shop. Mike - the owner was very helpful, asked me to drive over, took care of my car the same day despite being busy and fixed the tire.They have earned a customer for life. Highly recommend Budd & Company for all your auto needs!
I have taken my car to Budd & Co for repairs for a few years now and have always been pleased with their honest, efficient and professional service. Many years ago, as I was passing the repair shop, a technician waved me in due to a visible low tire. He took care if it and I was on my way. In my recent visit, Mike was very helpful and took the time to have my car checked out for an issue that was happening inconsistently and getting the right part to fix the issue. Thanks.
Came in to get a full service oil change. I loved that I could drop off my car and pick it up at a later time. The team was very friendly, fast and efficient. They even found a nail in my tire and removed it/patched it for no charge. I will be coming in to get all my service work done going forward. Thank you.
Budd and Co has been my garage for 12 years and 3 cars. They are quick with their diagnosis, clear in their explanations, and precise with their quotes. I feel confident in relying on my vehicle because Budd and Co keeps it in good condition for me!
Jordan fixed my head light and wiper blade real quick and was out in a flash
Its hard to find an honest garage these days until I found Bud and company. They did a 36000 mile check of the car plus oil change and tire rotation for about half the price of what a dealer would ask. I drove 5200 miles on a road trip without any problems after the service . You can trust these guys at an unbeatable price.
Thieves. Prejudiced thieves. Thats all I can say. NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN
Highly recommend! Happy friend encouraged me to go year ago. Honest, great prices and guarantee work.
These guys are the best, hands down. They are extremely knowledgeable, and have the highest standards of quality and integrity. The most important thing is to be able to TRUST your mechanic and Mike and the guys earn that trust every day. If there’s an issue they fix it promptly and professionally. If I could give six stars I would. They don’t make them like this anymore
Efficient. Professional. Delivered on their promise. Good organization.
Solid dudes workin here! Fast and efficient! Have been in multiple times to get my 15 year old subaru in tip top shape and they surpass my expectations every time. Will continue going to them for all future auto needs.
This shop always presents a fair assessment of work needed vs. things that aren’t necessary or can be delayed. Where else do you walk in thinking you need major brake overhaul and walk out with just a tire rotation and alignment? These guys are honest and worth every penny. Completes work for the price quoted and on time. Their team is always going the extra mile to offer great customer service and value. I’ve been taking vehicles here for two decades as have family and friends and we are never disappointed.
From minute I called to bringing car in to figure out problem to schedule repair all was great. The initial quote was fair. The cost in end was $75 dollars less! Whose does that now days especially in a major city? Fair, honest, respectively treated. Friend recommended and he was right!
I would consider this place my go-to. These are the guys I trust to fix my car to tell me when something needs to be replaced vs. it can go on for a bit longer. They are upfront about status. The price is competitive, but mostly I have a sense of being safe in my car after going there and that means a lot. Not only that, but they are a good group of guys. I like interacting with them. Really appreciate having this place as an option.
Just had my 08 Civic serviced following a sudden flat tire. Budd and Company did their usual competent work. Its a relief to turn my car over knowing that those who work on it are honest and have integrity. Their service charges are completely fair and in line with industry standards.
Mike and the rest of the crew at Budd & Company have taken great care of both of our older subarus when weve brought them into the shop. Theyre quick to assess whats wrong as well as provide recommendations on what to do now vs. what might be something to do later (or not at all). Definitely plan to continue bringing cars here if anything goes wrong.
Quarantine was a good time for me to get my Jeep worked on. Fortunately my go-to shop, Budd & Co, was open and took good -- and safe -- care of me and my vehicle.
Mike is a super nice guy and the people are great mechanics always good serviceWas lucky I found them
They were friendly and quick
I have been going to this shop since 2000. They have never let me down. Their diagnostic skills have saved me from expensive repairs recommended by other shops. I dont take my vehicles anywhere else.Mike is the most affable customer service rep I have ever dealt with, a real pro.
I was referred to Budd & Co. by my old mechanics shop, that shut down last year. I can not recommend them more strongly. Service is efficient and professional. Billing is transparent. I have total confidence in them, and will continue to do business with them as long as this level of quality service is maintained.
My family has been going to Budd and Co. for probably 25+ years and theyre always honest and very efficient. Mike has always been super friendly and doesnt try to upsell or steer you toward anything you dont need. Its great to have a go-to mechanic you know you can trust!
Been going here for years. Consistently good service, helpful team, and prices that continue to beat out competitors. I like that they prioritize the suggestions, letting me pick what Im ready to have work done on or what Ill save for another time.
Theyre fast and reliable. Ive come to them for electric problems, alignment problems, and much in between. They keep me updated and dont overcharge. Plus, they text to check in on the car. Love them.
Their customer service guy has the nicest, most professional sounding voice ever. The quality of work they do is exceptional.
Whenever I have an issue with my vehicle Im apprehensive to take care of myself, Budd & Company is always the place I turn to. Fast and reliable with impeccable customer service. Everytime I have used their service they have consistently gone above and beyond in diagnosing issues and keeping me updated on the progress on my vehicle. They help me to prioritize repairs and are very transparent with breaking down the cost. Jordan has been my mechanic just about every time Ive used their service and I couldnt be more satisfied with his work, very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are looking for a reliable shop that wont try to rip you off and provides excellent service, there is not a shop in Seattle I could recommend more
Budd & Company has serviced my Honda, Acura and now Lexus for years. I trust their work, recommendations and willingness to answer any and all my questions. I highly recommend them!
Budd’s was great! Took me in as a walk in, located the tire noise and resolved it and ran a diagnostic that indicated I needed a new battery, which I knew was past its 5 year life. Fit in that work, gave a correct estimate and had me on my way quickly. On a busy Monday as a walk in! Very satisfied and Mike was super courteous as well.Highly recommend.
Mike, Jordan, and all the rest of the folks at Budd & Co are great. If its excellent mechanical skill, honesty, and customer service you seek, this is the place for you. I was referred to Budd & Co by one of their many long-standing customers - and Im glad for it.
Despite a relatively complicated task because of insurance issues....they navigated this extremely well...will definitely come back!
Owner of a local small business myself, I like to support other small businesses in the community.I’ve brought many vehicles to this shop over the years and the guys at Budd&Co. always delivered an exceptionally professional, quality, and thorough service.
Excellent custom service at reasonable prices. Budd & Co. reconfigured & replaced resonator, muffler and exhaust in my 1962 MB 220SE. Superior performance, fit & clearance. Beautifully tuned & quiet. (circa 2010)This week I had a modest suspension reconfiguration. On time, reasonable, good solution.Kudos to George & Mike.
Honest, reasonably priced, and very friendly and communicative. They make sure the job gets done the right way. Highly recommend.
Everything was convenient, quick and easy. Reasonable prices and no hassle.
Quick and efficient. Good deal on fixing blown sparkplug on van. Dealer quoted 3x times the price. Budd fixed in several hours with heli-coil thread kit.Friendly, family owned.Two more trips: They dont chase a problem until the error code is available. Then they fix it at a good price with no wasted money spent chasing maybe it is this...trying to fix it.Did a great job on replacing part of my exhaust system. Always Professional and reasonably priced.
They have taken care of our vehicles for many years and we trust them. They always do a good job and at a fair price. They don’t try to get us to do work that’s marginal or not necessary at the time. We highly recommend them to people we know.
Budd & Co. have helped us with significant mechanical problems with our cars many times. I drive xss an Es alade and my husband drives an Avalon. They successfully did a fullnenginecrebuild of my Moms Jeep Liberty, that car had previously been my car. Anyhow. They do a great job and their pricing is competitive and more than fair!
Budd is one of the best. Clear communication, good mechanics you can trust. Fair prices.
Mike and crew not only know how to fix anything but how to communicate it and treat you like a friend.
Mike and team are honest and very fair.I never feel like I am not in the loop.
I recently moved close and found Budd & Co. after searching for a shop that could accommodate a large truck. I needed to have a vehicle purchasers review, and they were very thorough and efficient. I received a detailed report on all the vehicle needed, and the friendly person at the counter was helpful with ideas also.ThanksGeoff
Friendly and straightforward service! I went for an oil change (booked a week an advance) and it was ready in a few hours (I was in no rush as I had an engagement nearby I could walk to). They even changed my brake light for free since they noticed it during the inspection.
Great communication. Easy to get a hold of and set up appointments. Kinda and helpful and reasonable in costs.
I am so appreciative of the people here!!!! My battery died across the street and they were able to order me a new one the same day, and give me instructions on how to replace it myself. I couldnt get one of the connecters off the old one so they took it off for me and out it on the new one. I was in a real time crunch as I was going out of town the next day and they were able to pull through for me!!! Definitely coming back again when I have car issues!! Prices are fair and theyre open early!!!..Great service!!
Budd & Co is convenient, quick, extremely professional and reliable. No, theyre not cheap, but when it comes to my car Id rather pay the going rate and trust that the work has been done well than save a few bucks and have something go wrong later. They have also been very straightforward about work that DOESNT need to be done. Im definitely glad I found this place.
Weve been loyal customers since 2001. This family owned and operated establishment is outstanding. Mike and the staff of Budd & Co are honest, dependable and accommodating. Sure an oil change is a bit more here than a typical chain store, but they never try to up-sell you. Its a perfect example of expensive is cheaper in the long run. After all, our 1994 Nissan is still running with nearly 300,000 miles on the original automatic transmission and engine.
Hey, these guys are timely, professional and on the mark. They are knowledgeable, keep great records and are a delight to deal with. They have parts on hand and are reasonable with timing depending on your schedule. Would highly recommend! Quality mechanics, prompt and honest.
I had a GREAT experience with Budd & Company. I limped my car to the shop after hours and spoke with Mike over the phone to explain all the symptoms. He was very patient and kept me updated on what his techs discovered and how they will fix the issue. Great customer service, fair rates, and quick work. I would take my car back in a hot second! Give these guys a call if you need work done.
Ive been using these guys for 30+ years. I havent had a lot of cars, due to the quality of service a d care they take. Mike and Jordan both have amazing customer service skills.
Great experience! Had to get my old truck fixed while I was in another state. They did a great job coordinating with me and the tow company. I will bring my broken stuff here again!
It was awesome. They were quick to swap out vanpool van. Very prompt.
Ive come here several times for various issues and Ive never once been disappointed. Mike is extremely helpful, never engages in complicated mechanic talk to try and charge more and very nice. I will continue brining my vehicles here as long as they are in business.
These guys take time to explain whats up with your car in a non patronizing way. They are very honest, and kind. A must if you live in the neighborhood, but Ill keep coming here even when I move out of this part of town.
Great customer service, very honest and helpful. Very fair pricing as well. will definitely come back again for future work. Thanks
My experience with Budd was short but positive. I took my car in for some engine trouble. They did the diagnostic and told me all of what was wrong. I needed a new ignition coil and some other parts. Unfortunately, the repairs were too expensive for me to go through with, so I just took the car home. But they were very pleasant and thorough, explaining everything in detail. If not for the price, I would have been happy to let them work on the car.
As I have come to expect the guys did a wonderful job and even finished early in the day so I could get out of Seattle before rush hour. And knowing I was headed south on I-5, Zack took the time to check to see if it had reopened after the incident at Highline College. I drive in from Shelton because Budds has, for 20 years, done a good job for me . I now live 2 hrs away but I think they are worth the effort.
We’ve been consistent customers of Budd & Co over the last 10 years. Mike and his team are reliable and consistent. They never do more than needed and I feel safe on the road knowing they are maintaining and working on our cars! Thanks Mike!
Better than 4 star but Im not quite sure about a full five star. Ive used Budd & Co for 10 years or more now with 3 vehicles. Ive strayed a few times but seem to always come back.Mike & Zach are super friendly.
Quick and detailed service. Went in for an oil change and they noticed other issues that I was aware of, asking me before doing anything extra. Fair pricing and friendly staff.
Excellent service at a fair price. Theyve around for many years and it shows in how they do business. Highly recommended.
Ive been going to Budd and Company for almost 20 years now. They arent the cheapest, but they do excellent work and I trust them thoroughly. The few times they havent been able to solve my problem, they havent charged me. Plus, they are nice people!
Really enjoyed my experience here! I called frantically not knowing too much about the problem, and they were able to squeeze me in and called every time before they went through with the repair to explain what was going on and how they planned on fixing it and gave me an estimate. 10/10 would take my car here again!!
Excellent shop, with great service. I appreciate the attention to the customer and the quick response for questions, scheduling, etc. My vehicle looks like new!
These guys are always so quick, flexible, and professional! On top of great work, the folks on the phone and in the office are always extremely kind and pleasant
Weve taken all of our cars to Budd & Company over the years and will continue to do so. Weve brought our Oldsmobile, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Honda here for all sorts of work over the past decade, like brakes, coils, an alternator, and other stuff. Mike always treats us fairly and keeps us up to date on whats going on, and hes conscientious about the costs of repairs when multiple issues are discovered. The prices are reasonable, and if an issue is not urgent or doesnt require immediate attention then hell let us know that so we can make an informed decision about what to do now versus what we can safely take care of at a later date.
This Company was recommended to me by my AAA driver who towed my car which by the way was so welcoming, polite and helpful and felt safe with.The mechanics at Budd and Co. were very knowledgeable and accommendating to my needs. I felt very safe and informed through the whole process. I never felt I was being takened advantaged of at anytime or misled.I have drove by this business for many years going to work not knowing how trustworthy, honest and excellent care I would be receiving in the future.I would highly recommend this Auto repair Co. to anyone.
We brought our car in for its 70K service and were pleasantly surprised to find the bill almost half as much as estimated. They explained that if they inspect something and it’s okay and it takes very little time then they don’t charge for it. The higher estimate had been from the manufacturer’s time estimates, which I’m sure we would have had to pay if we’d gone to the dealership. Another great experience at Budd & Company!! We started coming here 26 years ago and have had nothing but wonderful experiences!!
Mike and his crew are kind,understanding and reliable.My 1991 Lumina finally gave it last hurrah and Mike was able to facilitate the exchange to a partner scrapyard conveniently and timely even gave me a discount for the diagnostic work.Will definitely return.
When my son left Seattle and I moved into his condo, he directly me to Budd & Co. as a reliable place to service my Honda. I have always found them to be reliable and courteous, and the prices are reasonable. What more could I ask for?
Excellent service and return time. They also provide sensible advice and tips to keep your vehicle running.
My family has been going to Budd for many years. They have always been honest, polite, and fast. I’ve recommended them to any friends who have moved to Seattle. Central location is convenient, too.
I took my car in to see what was up with my brakes. They got back to me quickly with a diagnosis and an estimate. Havent had the work done yet. But i was very pleased.
Ive been using Budd for over 10 years and would never willingly use another repair shop. Theyre hands-down the best shop Ive ever experienced anywhere. Theyve never missed a diagnosis; they always identify the problem correctly the first time, fix it correctly, and it stays fixed. If repairs are expensive, theyll proactively identify ways to reduce costs or to sequence repairs over time. Every time Ive gone comparison shopping on a high price, their quote is far lower than the competition. When I moved away from Seattle for a couple years, I would still make the 3 hour drive back to get my car serviced, just to make sure I wasnt getting ripped off.
Budds has excellent customer service. Mike and Zach are great - very transparent, honest and helpful. Weve had a variety of services here on our 2011 Subaru Outback and highly recommend them.
Solid mechanics recommended to me by a family friend. I “broke up” with my dealership and their free loaner service perk after I met Budd & Co. That says a lot about the acumen Mike, Jordan and team bring to the table; they stepped forward to inform me of a critical safety issue with my SUV that was not brought to my attention by my dealership.No free loaner car can make up for the serious risk of injury to myself, my passengers and my Vizslas that my dealership allowed. Ironically, I bought my SUV specifically to ensure the safety of me, my passengers and my Vizslas (but chiefly my Vizslas).Learning this entire premise was nearly upended through unnecessary exposure to catastrophic consequences during freeway travel was all it took for me to Dear John my dealership forever.I subsequently discovered my dealership was not only aware of the issue, they specifically didn’t road test their last repairs because of it, while failing to warn me when accepting payment for their work. All I received were my keys and instruction for where in their parking lot out back my SUV was awaiting pick up.This has given me every reason I ever needed to move away from corporate interests serving my vehicle and bring my business instead to the small business that Mike and his team work hard every day to represent as the best their industry can be.Bravo to Budd & Co!Enormously grateful to have found you!
Mike and his crew at Budd & Co. have been a pleasure to work with for 5 years now on my little Kia. Ive been in for routine oil changes, battery replacement, and just last week I was in for replacement of my ignition coil. No matter what type of service I go in for, the staff is professional and the turnaround time and pricing have always been fair and reasonable.
I really appreciate these guys service. I find their prices are reasonable and they are very honest. Theyve even turned em away before saying there is nothing wrong with my car after an inspection! How many mechanics wouldnt find SOMETHING so they can charge you more? Not many, in my experience. These guys are a cut above the rest. Make sure to take advantage of the AAA discount if you can.
The folks at Budd & Company are trustworthy, friendly and professional. Ive taken my car to them for years, and they do quality work, from answering the phone to book your service to picking up. They have never let me down, and I recommend them highly!
Asked around and these guys were recommended. Id give a HEARTY recommendation now. Timely and friendly.
Well, it was quite a relief! I went in thinking Id need brakes replaced, thanks to a recommendation from a tire repair shop. Thanks to Budd for an honest check-up. The brakes are fine, the battery needed replacing and all is well.
Great customer service! Very professional. I will not pay $65 dollars for an oil change again. Charging me labor on top of the change is a first in my experiences.
Good communication. Always does what is neccessary; never more, never less.
Awesome guys who dont overcharge for bull.
Very friendly staff....got the work done in a timely manner and fairly priced. Also told me to hold on things that werent totally necessary at the moment (had gotten higher wrote from other place). Would bring my car there again :)
I have taken my cars to Budds for over 20 years and they have always been excellent. I have referred them to other people many times. They have great customer service. They are accommodating in so many ways making it always convenient to work with them.
