I was quoted 325$ for my carrier baring, and 110 for the tow I needed to get it there =435 and it would be done in two/three days!
I got a call 2 days after the tow saying it would be 800 because they couldn't fix the baring and had to send to another shop, I reluctantly agreed to 800$
The next day I had to call because I got no call about it being ready and was told it would be ready that afternoon, said they were working on it and she would call when it was ready!
Around 4pm I got a call and Buddy said it was 1123.57 and was ready to go. What happened to the 800 we discussed the day before I asked him, he said he never said 800 even though he was on speakerphone so my husband could hear the conversation...and I should have common since there would be more fees... poor customer service and I feel like they scammed me, never will I ever use this place again!

Will never come back!!! I was laughed at and made to feel stupid when I questioned price check. Buddies price 600 everywhere else I checked....240-300$ price wasn't the issue it's the fact they were SO rude! I work in customer service and these two clowns I guess they had enough business for the day.

I just love Mrs. Jessica and Buddy. I haven’t trusted a mechanic in a long time but this small owned family operated business has restored my confidence in the services that were provided.

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!
