After a terrible day of getting my vehicle stolen and stripped of its catalytic converter, I was able to get the best help from Bucky’s. They got my van in at the end of their work day, did the repair and got me on the road. Customer service was very attentive and patient. They made my terrible day a little bit better. Thanks 🙏
My daughter has dropped off her vehicle about 3 times to Buckys auto. She has nothing but good things to say about them. Im bringing them my vehicle soon to get some work done on it. Thank you to the staff for making our familys experience stress free.
Had some electrical issues I couldnt figure out. They found and easily fixed it. Also installed a new reservoir in my engine bay. All done and paid for within a day.
Seriously a legit garage with great folks wanting to keep your car taking care of you. Was driving through on a road trip and had the great luck to drive past and check the review. Got an oil change and new headlights in about an hour. Will be back whenever driving through!Thanks so much to Shelby, Griffin, Jose and the team!
I went here heart broken, when a mainstream tire dealer and installer damaged exhaust components that have been discontinued by the manufacturer. No big deal right? Wrong, it is an Apexi N1 titanium coated cat back for my 02 Nissan Sentra spec v. A lot of work has been done to restore and tune it. Cody and the team at this location are amazing. They gave my a no bs approach to the repair when I couldnt find the parts and wanted to save a now rare/legendary piece of import tuning culture. Once we found the pipe was mild steel they were set loose and I was completely satisfied with the results. They repaired a crushed bracket and relocated the hanger to better suit the stress placed on the resonator. Repaired a hole left from the damage and coated their work with a heat tolerant matching color. They respected my car and treated me beyond professional, like family. I will definatly return, thank you fam!!
Highly recommend! Someone stole our catalytic converter today, so we rumbled over to Buckys. They quoted us a fair price and installed a new one on the spot -- in about 30 minutes! Well be repeat customers.
This is my 2nd time going to Buckys. The first experience was amazing. The 2nd experience made me realize how trust worthy they are. I recommend this place to anyone. Well done guys! You will always have my business.
I cannot say enough good things about my experiences at the Narrows Buckys. I have brought several cars from various family members in several times, and have never been disappointed in the service that I have received. Brian has bent over backwards each time to make my car repair and upkeep as painless and expeditious as possible. He has been kind, professional, honest, and fair. I feel confident that I can refer others to him, and they will also receive this excellent service. Thank you, Brian!
Brian is awesome, he is professional and knowledgeable. He genuinely cares about fixing the issue and getting you on your way safely. I was nervous I might miss my flight but he had my car fixed within an hour. Thank u so much for your great service and honesty!
Brian and his team replaced my calipers rotors and pads and fixed my wheel speed sensor wire. Which fixed my abs light and pad wear light. They did a good job. I could have done all myself except the speed sensor but it would have taken a little while and i needed it done in a timely matter which they did it quickly. Thanks you to Brian and his team. I will be going back soon for my exhaust
Brian at Bucky’s Tacoma Narrows Auto Repair was professional and skilled. He and his team diagnosed the problem when my check engine light came on. He and his team worked quickly, expertly fixed the problem and saved our camping trip.10/10 would recommend using this service, worth every dollar as they are reliable and professional.
The workers at this facility are very honest and straight to the point. Which leaves no room for games and overcharging! Good service!
They fixed my brakes within an hour. Definitely will be coming back 😊
Very nice and helpfull guys here so far very good service for my first time i do see myself coming back. In the future and always getting the few problems fixed on my vehicle and also very fast pace oil change was done in no time thanks guys. 😁
Buckys installed a Cat Shield on my wifes Prius and it was an excellent experience. They were professional, friendly, and fast. We will continue to return to Buckys for future work.
Im always pleased with our local Narrows Buckys. Everyone is very nice. The mechanics are skilled. Everyone is professional. I feel the price is affordable. Never anything negative to say. We will continue going back. Adriane L
Thank you again for saving the day management and Team!
I have a 1955 Ford Thunderbird that has a very unique and tricky exhaust system that runs through and exits the rear transom of the car between the truck deck and the rear bumper, has tight bends, and little room to work. Brian, Shelby, and there exhaust tech did an AMAZING job of getting the exhaust pipes and tips to fit properly so that they were perfectly centered and of equal length on both sides as they exit the car. They also did a great job on positioning the new mufflers themselves, adding hangers to eliminate vibrations, etc. They were professional, timely, and priced well considering the type of custom work that needed to be done. They exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for QUALITY exhaust work done.
We brought our Explorer most recently to Buckys to diagnose a possible electrical issue. Brian discovered the starter was fried due to a failing battery. We were very pleased with the quick work, friendly service and unbeatable cost for this repair. About two years ago technicians at Buckys did a full brake job on the Explorer, and again, completed it in a timely manner, and with low cost for the extensive work the brakes required. We have another repair it needs soon, and we will definitely get it done at Buckys. Highly recommended!
Great work and at a great price. Awesome customer service and very communicative. We will definitely be doing more business here!!
Our check engine light came on so we went to a local AutoZone for a free Fix Finder Service. The diagnostic came back with (2) codes, both having to do with the Evaporative Emission System. One code suggested a large EVAP leak . In preparation for shipping our car out of Tacoma we decided to get any and all work done by a trusted mechanic. For the last few years we have worked with Jeremy at the Buckys at 603 S. Sprauge so we headed over there but Jeremy was no longer at that location. We decided to give another location a try so we went to the Tacoma Narrows Buckys on 6th. When we went there we were sure it would be a cracked EVAP hose because the AutoZone diagnostic said so. Well Brian at Buckys ran another diagnostic which found no major leak and told us to head to the dealership at buy a new gas cap. Voilà! Simple fix.What makes me write this review is that Brian could have charged us over a 100 bucks for the new diagnostic or he could have just went on the information we provided with the original diagnostic codes and charged us for an unnecessary repair. Instead he did told us exactly what the problem was, what to do to fix it and then reset the car so the check engine light turned off.If you are looking for a fair and honest mechanic, check you Brian at Buckys Tacoma Narrows.
Fantastic experience. I don’t usually write reviews, but Brian and the team did a great job. They fixed everything quickly, and kept the old parts to show me why they recommended I replace them.
Excellent service! They only do whats needed. He does take advantage of women! They call with the estimate before doing work.
I want to thank the manager and crew from being good to me. Spur of the moment, dropped in and they handle my issue and where good on the price. I highly recommend anyone to go to this Buckys over any other one.
Best in Pierce County. Ask for Manager Brian. Amazing Diagnostic Skills. He/they service all our vehicles for real estate office and car dealership
Best place to get your car fixed and always professional and fair pricing
I had a bad experience at another auto shop down the street from Buckys. I was hesitant to bring my car to another auto shop. But I had purchased a used car and it had this horrible motorcycle sounding sound anytime I started the car, and it needed to be fixed. I took a chance and went to Buckys. I dropped my car off first thing in the morning and 2 hours later they called me telling me what the problem was. Apparently my vehicle had been apart of an accident, they noticed an impact underneath the vehicle and asked me if I ran over something recently. I told them I purchased the car recently. They said it must of been in an accident. They were able to fix the issue and give me back the cat the same day. And the loud motorcycle sound was gone. I was very impressed with the service I received they were nice and fast and efficient. The job was definitely done with care. I will be coming back to Buckys in the future. Thanks guys for the great service.
This is a really good business. I love it here. There fast and afficint.
They are so helpful and willing to work with you. I will admit that they are a little pricey but its worth it if you are looking for great auto work from certified machanics.
Brian and the guys here are amazing! They fit us in their schedule last minute and told us the issue. Really honest and stand up gentlemen. So thankful for them. Thank you Brian and guys! We appreciate you all!!
So there we were at a Macdonald’s across the street from Bucky’s at 5:30 pm and we noticed that our tire was losing air fast. We drove to Bucky’s since we noticed they were still opened hoping they can help us. I went inside to see if they can fix my tire. Though tire replacement wasn’t in their scope of work, they did what they could to help me. Even though they were just about to close they were willing to help me put on my spare tire out in the rain. I insisted on paying but they didn’t charge me. All that being said, this is a place I would take to take my car to for repairs. They make you feel like family!
Recently purchased a used car and brought it in for regular maintenance. I really appreciated the communication and understanding they provided while answering all of my questions and being genuinely helpful in general. I’m glad to have a place I can recommend to people because I had a great experience.
Always great service!! We loved having Kevin help us for so long and now new management is just as great!! Highly recommend to anyone! Honest, affordable, and very knowledgeable!
Nice manager, job was done faster than expected. The financing available is building up my credit, Im grateful Buckys has it available
If you need an honest mechanic Brian at Buckys is your guy! Fixed all my cars issues didn’t try to sell me unnecessary work! Definitely will bring all my cars to Brian at Buckys narrows.
Brian and his team are outstanding! I had some issues with my vehicle at another location that had me in tears. He reassured me and showed me I wasn’t crazy, took great care of my car, and communicated every detail with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better mechanic team than the team at Bucky’s Tacoma Narrows. Thank you so much! -The Durango Lady.
I love Buckys! It is always my go to shop! I have brought all my vehicles there for years. Prices are fair & quality is good. I highly recommend!!
It a great team Brian the manager were awesome! God bless yall,s Amen peace you were awesome to mr griffin Amen
I’ve been using the Narrows Bucky’s for a couple of years. They are always so nice and go out of their way to treat me right. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience with this place and they were VERY helpful and knowledgeable. They broke it down and explained everything that was wrong with my car and they were very fast. The staff was very nice and funny. I would definitely recommend and I am going to forsure come back if there are any further issues.
Brian was efficient,respectful, and knowledgeable. He was trust worthy with quote, he cared about the cost which matter because of deductible.I will continue to do business with them in the future
Great service... they got my four tie rod ends in on time and below quote ... Great job!
Right when I walked in to get my car checked at Buckys, i was greeted by professional workers and they got me an estimate very quickly. Not only that, but they explained to me the breakdown of the price and I couldnt be happier. I definitely recommend Buckys to anyone who has car trouble. You will not be disappointed.
Impressive, good communication, they got the job done right and quickly. Id recommend to friends & family for sure.
I went in for an oil change and all of the employees where very friendly and my oil change was done in a timely manner and for a good price, however none of the employees were wearing masks at all. Thats the only thing that stopped me from giving them 5 stars, other than that, it was good, they also did a full inspection for free.
They were so helpful, knowledgeable and fast! I will absolutely be back.
Ive only ever had a great experience with Buckys they are my go to recommendation to anyone needing service on there car
Everyone there is super friendly! Especially Kevin who offered to stay late last night fixing our van for Edible Arrangements as he understands the need of us delivering our fruit bouquets in a refrigerated unit. Kevin was outstanding and so is the receptionist. Wonderful people, quick and affordable! We appreciate their service and are proud to have them as our primary provider for our car needs.
Kevin and his wife have been running this Buckys for quite sometime now and Ive never experienced such a great experience. Their prices are extremely low and the service is beyond expectations. I would highly HIGHLY suggest going through them if you want to get any car problem fixed and drive away without denting your budget.2001 Honda Accord hasnt ran this smooth IN YEARS and not only do they have us as a company but several of our employees have chosen this specific Buckys as our place to get our car problems taken care of! Thank you!
Manager was awesome fixed what Puyallup messed up
They dont wear masks. Maybe Ill go back when/if the pandemic ends.
Very helpful and friendly owner and employees. Even though they were busy the day I went they were able to check my car pretty quickly. I had heard a popping noise and my car defroster fan and heater fan stopped. I looked online and it seemed it was going to be an expensive repair. But the owner took a look and said he just popped a cable back in place and it worked fine. It was great to know that now Ive found a great place for all my future car repairs!
Called for a quote the guy who answered was very friendly. Ive heard great things about this shop and cant wait to take my car here for a tune up
Kevin does amazing work. They have always been professional and sensitive about the needs i have. Kevin and nicole always communicate in a timely manner with repairs and let you know the important stuff to fix first. I will always go to them first.
Great job on my radiator Brian and K2 thank you!!!!!!
These guys went above and beyond their job to really help us out every time Ive been there. My brakes were really, really bad and they did a fantastic job repairing them. I got a warranty on the parts, and theyve never done me wrong. I recommend them highly.
These guys are not only competent mechanics but they are good people. Im so glad I took my car to them when my engine blew out. They genuinely cared about getting my car working and back to me as soon as possible with the least expense. I will not be taking my car anywhere else form now on.
I took my truck into them today. Very nice people work there. They explain everything that need to be done to it. Very satisfied. Would recommend them to all my friends and family. Keep up the good work. My truck running smooth
I work with a used car dealership. We use these guys all the time. Kevin and Nicole are awesome. Excellent work and very reasonable prices. Dont go to the new car dealer because youll over pay - go here.
Love the staff.. Always friendly. Great place. Recommend this spot for your car needs.
Very friendly and they were extremely helpful. Had everything fixed in one day! I highly recommend these guys to everyone. They are really great and very pleasant!!
Very friendly honest people. I have gone here for muffler, starter, oil changes, new engine put in and i would say this is the only place i trust i live in spanaway and i travel all he way to them. Great customer service friendly staff
I love Buckys in general but this is by FAR my favorite location and Ive been to a fair amount through the Puget Sound. The manager Kevin is always super helpful and goes above and beyond. They are very busy sometimes but that just shows that they are trusted and they have offered to hang around after close so I can come grab my car after they worked super hard to get it done. Im always impressed by them each and every time!
Don’t take your car here or any other Buckey’s location if you value your money or car. Went to the one in Auburn and they play Russian Roulette with parts on your dime. Steer clear of this one!
Kevin and the whole crew there did an awesome job on my Jeep Grand Cherokee that had the infamous hemi tick. They also found a leaking thermostat on the engine and fixed all for a fair price and all in one day. I highly recommend them.
When to get leak on my car looked atDidn’t fix the issue.. is remarks didn’t feel like digging
Good job
Great place to get work done. Kevin is honest and reliable. I only take my cars to him and his staff.
Quality work for an affordable price. They came in well below quotes I got from other shops. They have top quality additives and oils on tap if requested. Very honest and polite employees. They take me right in every time and always invite me back to do follow up inspections a week later to reassure everything is operating properly.
I cant complain at all Kevin was not just helpful but friendly made me feel like I was talking to a friend explained everything thoroughly until I understood 100% there wasnt anything that was hidden or tried tricking you into another few hundred hes honest, reliable and trustworthy I came in today on 3/29/17 to get my brakes done front was fully done with lines and the backs were cleaned lubed and adjusted left a fully satisfied customer and will return very soon to get more work done I highly recommend anyone with something in need of repair to bring it to these guys because they know their stuff I will never take my truck anywhere else these are the type of guys you want to stick with and keep going back to because they will give you a fair price and will leave you with a smile on your face and your pocket book unlike other places that make you pay an arm and a leg so there for I highly recommend you take your rig over to these guys so they can get you back on the road smooth quick and happy!
Kevin and his crew are great. They have always done right by me.
Both my kids cars go here
Great service
Took my car over to Kevin on 6th Ave in Tacoma and had a great experience. He told me everything I need to fix my car at a very reasonable price. Very honest with me from the beginning about what was wrong with my car. He and Brian took the time to show me what was wrong. Very professional when it comes to customer service. I will be recommending my friends and family to Buckys on 6th Ave. Great job guys.👍👍
We take both of our cars here! Kevin and his crew go out of their way for us every time. It is always painful to spend money on car repairs but they make it the most pleasant experience it can be. Kevin does a great job with time management and minimizing our costs. This is exactly what you want out of a mechanic. His crew is friendly and hard working. Thanks again to them.
I needed my trailer hitch worked on before Labor Day Weekend and I was totally in a bind, had gone to two other places in Gig Harbor, both of which said they were slammed before the big weekend... someone sent me to Bucky’s on 6th Ave, Tacoma, and they got me right in and started working on it. The guy couldn’t fix it but told me to come back in the morning, so I did. The awesome guys in the shop spent an hour trying to get the trailer pin out (it was stuck) and used every tool possible. He fixed it, charged me for half the labor, and I was on my way. The best customer service ever! Now our weekend away can get started.
The only nice guy in this place is Kevin, BUT stay away from this place cause, I left my car for oil change on 11/08 and my car stayed 2 nights there and ended up with broken passenger window and robbed!!! 2 other cars on their parking lot also were with broken windows!They didn’t want take any responsibility, even the car was in their property. With the question Why no security cameras and whatever they said will not help .The Conclusion is go for simple oil change and get No oil change and broken and robbed car.BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THEY DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING HAPPENEDI UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT AT LEAST TO DO SOMETHING LIKE WARNING THE CLIENTS ABOUT THE BAD AREA
Great place to take your car. Theyre honest and friendly.
Good experience. I didnt feel like I got ripped off which is more then I can say about other mechanics Ive been to. They are good at explaining the problem and letting you know your options. Cool guys working here.
Quality work and for less than other places I shopped around at. They are busy most of the time but very accommodating to your needs on your vehicle. Im very picky and they didnt hesitate to make me happy with my exhaust I had installed, trying out different mufflers after I had already put one on and was not satisfied from the sound. Shame on me good on them. They didnt have to do that, manager was happy to though!!!
I called Buckys around noon on a Saturday asking if they could fit me in for brake pads. They graciously agreed. When I got there they found my brakes were far worse than I thought. They took me into the shop and showed me everything that was wrong and what it should look like. They made sure I understood everything.In order to get me safely on the road, the staff fixed everything for ing them to stay late that evening. They also made sure I was able to afford everything comfortably.I cant say enough about this shop on 6th Avenue and the staff there. As bad as my brakes were they may really have been true lifesavers!
Kevin, Nicole and the crew are awesome! Ive been taking my cars here for years and have always had excellent service!
I went in to get an oil change for my car and they found two leaks, or “problems” so I approved two diagnostics to be done! One solved one of my problems the other should’ve, but because they’re not Chevy specialists, they went in blind! Ultimately they suggested I go to a Chevy dealership, which I did, and the mechanic there told me that the diagnostics I paid for with at this location should’ve detected the leak they said they couldn’t find! The Chevy mechs only knew what was done because I provided them with all the diagnostics results from Buckys!So I was 400$ ripped off by this location for something “supposedly” they could’ve fixed! I’d recommend this location for oil changes only and if they bring up any problems, just go to specialist, so you don’t get ripped off!!
Buckys resolved and repaired my cars broken air-conditioner that another repair shop after many tests couldnt figure out. The service was quick and the staff was very knowledgeable and great at explaining what the issue was. Thanks!
Friendly and knowledge and professional. They replaced my 2 front brake calipers 6 months ago, this month (February) I noticed one of them leaking... I took it here today, Kevin took the tire off, located the leak, fixed the leak, bled the line, and said Thank you for bringing it in, theres no charge and youre good to go. ... Very much appreciated! Great Service and highly recommended!
Came in to replace front struts and coils place was almost closed but shop took me in and offered great price really appreciate the dedication. I work as armed officer and have almost no time for anything and shop made it happen I will defintly be back this weekend to install rear shock on car as well.
My sister came in this morning for an oil change and a minor squeal from what she assumed was the brakes. Keep in mind it’s an almost new car with about 25,000 miles on it. She was told her brakes were down to almost nothing and that the noise was because she needed new front brakes. Not knowing any better she agreed. While she was waiting she informed us she was going to be a while longer while she waited for the brakes to be done. I immediately questioned it and had her tell them she wanted to see the old parts. She sent me a picture of the pads that “needed replaced right away” and, big shocker, they were nowhere near worn out and did not need to be replaced.I only see two ways this happens.1. This place lives up to the stereotype of how to over sell a woman by herself who knows no better. I’d hope that’s not it but at this point, who knows?Or2. The “technicians” are not actually mechanics and likely hold no certification, education or experience. They simply fell into a job and consider now themselves “mechanics”.Either way the result is the same. You took my sisters hard earned money to perform a service that was never needed to begin with. If they are indeed ASE certified mechanics then they clearly cheated on the brake section. Not to mention that considering the strong possibility of the latter we now have to do our own inspection to make sure things were installed correctly since trust is clearly not in the cards.I have been a customer at this place several times, as has many of our family members. I don’t think I need to say it but I will, strongly, say that they will never see any of our business again. When the manager reads this I’d hope he will find a way to make it right for her, like he should.
5/29/2013 Update....So I took my expedition back first thing in the morning. The lead mechanic took a look at my vehicle and after about an hour and a half of testing he finally figured out the problem. The shop was very understanding with my frustration and the lead mechanic and Mary took care of me. They didnt charge me for any of the 3.5hrs of labor and only charged me for the part that seemed to fix the problem. I would totally recommend the lead mechanic, He knows what he is doing and the shop manager is true to her word and even called to check to make sure everything was going well a week later. I would definitely recommend and my confidence has been restored.5/28/2013I took my expedition in today for trouble with it hesitating when idling like it was going to cut off. It only happened rarely, but since I commute far and have children I wanted to take care of it asap. I was told sparks plugs, new coil need to be replace because it was misfiring. I pretty much already new that was the issue. I was told it was test drove and rechecked after the work was done. Well $600 later not only was the car jerking and hesitating from the start, it now makes a new noise. I have immediately called and informed my vehicle is doing it a lot more than before. I got the impression they had a rookie working on my vehicle which I am not happy about. So the lead tech says he will look at it first thing in the morning, no charge........***.Review subject to change after tomorrow***.
Thanks to Kevin and the crew at Buckys! Replaced a radiator in my 04 Titan, also fit and welded on a new exhaust tailpipe. Knowledgeable, upfront, and courteous staff will make me into a repeat customer.
Honest people. Love taking my truck there if I cant fix it.
I had called them about doing front brakes and rotors and there price was only half the price of another place.And they were crazy busy and still got my car finished before they closed.Very knowledgeable people too. I will definitely come here for any other issues I have with my car.
Always well taken care of here
Ive taken my cars here 4 or 5 times and been very happy with the work each time and pleasantly surprised by the price each time that was always lower than expected.
Thanks to Kevin and his crew for their hard work (and good deal), my old civic is running (and stopping) great now!
Kevin and the team did rotors, pads, and calipers on the rear of my VW Passat. My vehicle was done when they said it would be. No surprises in the pricing. Excellent pricing, coupled with prompt and professional service are the reasons why I will be returning to Buckys Tacoma Narrows the next time my vehicle needs service. I suggest you try them too.
Lied to. I dropped the car off at 9am, explained that I had a leaking exhaust manifold gasket, which I had already diagnosed, and asked if they would be able to get to it that day, since I needed the car to get home at 5pm. The tech at the counter suggested that the manifold studs are usually snapped off and that that was probably the problem. I said, ok well take a look at it and let me know. I work less than a block away, and can see where I had parked my car and it never moved, nor did I ever see anyone working on it, or the hood up or anything. So, after six hours of no action, with my time running out, I walked over and asked if they were going to get to it in time for me to drive it home. They proceeded to write up an estimate to replace the exhaust manifold and studs for about $500+. I informed them that I knew they had never touched the car, took the keys, and left. Upon returning to my office, I popped the hood to see for myself if anything had been touched (it hadnt). But, more interestingly, the vehicle isnt even equipped with studs on the exhaust manifold...it bolts into the head. So, it was impossible for there to be broken exhaust manifold studs, since the vehicle doesnt have exhaust manifold studs. I recommend you stay away from this shop.
I have no complaints from Bucky ..I love them working on my car..
Decent servicce, decent prices.
