I have come here for a few years. Every time, they have gotten me in quickly and addressed the concern in a reasonable amount of time. The woman working the front desk is accommodating and helps explain what’s going on so that I can understand it. They always call and give an estimate before starting the work to make sure I’m good with the cost and understand what all needs to be addressed. I will continue to come to Buddy’s for all my mechanic needs and recommend the to anyone looking for a reputable/timely shop. Thank you!

I personally would never go here. I went to a wonderful auto shop. The people were so kind. They showed me exactly what was wrong with my car wiggled my control arm n tie rod Gave me a price. I told him it was really high and I couldn’t afford it he said he understood to do my research maybe I could do it myself. A customer heard me and recommended me to this store. I called this store explaining what’s wrong with my car that I wanted to fix the tire rod myself, but was looking for pricing for my Control arm and an alignment. He said he needs to look at it 160 I said u couldn’t just give me a price he said he can’t price something without knowing that’s the issues. I told him I know for certain it’s the issue I was shown and got to wiggle the control arm myself n tie rod and explained I’m

Dont do business here! Absolutely no character at all. Told him what might be the issue and he saw it wasn't the issue but instead of informing that information took a perfectly good part off the car charged a high dollar and then said that wasn't the issue this is the problem and that would be an additional cost. When asked why didn't call to inform before changing part basically said oh well not my fault u thought it was this. What type of mechanic does this dishonest thing. Times to hard to hurt people financially like this. Changed a perfectly good part and just shrug it off. God don't like ugly and this was as ugly as it comes! Very shady, extremely rude. He uses rudeness to make u go away after u have called out the issues and dishonesty. NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! U WILL EITHER GET

On Tuesday, October 1st, 2024, I had a very disappointing experience with Buddy’s Automotive service. Three weeks earlier, I took my overheating Malibu to their shop and received a quote of $ 1,564.34 for a new radiator and labor. After agreeing to the repair, they informed me that they couldn't fit the new part and needed to take the car to another shop for necessary adjustments. Upon inspection, I found that my old radiator had been reinstalled despite being charged for a new one. Today, I was told my bill would be $3964. When I arrived at the shop and brought up the issue with my old radiator, they couldn't deny it. Buddy's Automotive had reinstalled the old radiator and deducted $300 from the total bill. I then tried to pay by check, but Buddy’s Automotive refused to accept it, insisti
