I have a 69 Ford Torino.. brought it in because it was cutting out and wouldn't stay running, kept dying.. picked it up week and a half later ..now I'm back to smoking them tires😆thanks a bunch
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 shad... Dont do business here!

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 USED PARTS OR GOOD PARTS CHANGED CHARGES A HIGH DOLLAR AND THEN TOLD THAT WASNT EVEN THE ISSUE AND WHEN ASKED WHY YOU DIDN'T CALL AND TELL ME THEN YHE RUDENESS STARTS
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... 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, insisting on cash. Despite all this, the overheating problem reoccurred on my way home. I believe the service I received fell far below the expected standards, and the high cost did not reflect the quality of work. I feel completely taken advantage of and would strongly advise against using Buddy’s Automotive. On 10/7/2024, I took it to Cable Dahmer Chevrolet for a second opinion about what was wrong with the car. The diagnosis confirmed I need a new engine, which I believe was the original issue.
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 kno... I personally would never go here. I went to a wonderful auto shop.

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 I’m gonna do the tire rod myself that I needed someone to my control arm and Alignment on my car. He said whatever shop you went to that’s gonna be my price too. I said well could you ball park me a price just so I could compare it myself. He told me 1100. My control arm is bolted in with 3 bolts I belt this was really high I explained that to him he Got mad and said if I know what I’m doing do it myself and I’m trying to out price him n he won’t do buisness With me, it was disrespectful and it hurt my feelings like I’m just A regular person trying to make a living on pennies just like everyone else looking for a good deal but still quality work and the way he spoke to me was so rude as hell n ain’t no way these auto shops should be pricing stuff this expensive I hate to see the cost of engine work here if a simple lower control arm on front of nissian Altima is 1100 after being spoke too crazy I would never waist my enegery or time I’m glad I recorded my phone calls bc this one I’ll be posting
