Budget Automotive and Radiator

I'm still in the process of getting my engine replaced. It was a little more than some other places i called but they are super friendly though. Very helpful as well

I was very impressed with the work done on my truck, I almost overlooked this place, but I'm glad I gave them a shot. I hope I don't need to go back but they are now my go to if anything happens.

A friend recommended Budget to me when two other mechanics had failed to figure out what was causing my car to overheat, and a third had quoted me $1800 for a major repair that didn't sound right to me. Budget figured out the problem and solved it for $400. I have been using them ever since. Nobody is more honest than this team. They do great work, have very reasonable pricing, and never talk down to you. Lots of mechanics will hardly bother with older cars and small jobs, but they have been keeping my salvage-title 15-year-old car in great shape for two years now. They really stand by their work. Really thankful to have found them. I won't go anywhere else.

Im writing this review in March of 24, marking my 20th year of having Paul, Wendy, and the Budget crew wrench on my vehicles. There are a few things I want to write here, as I should have left this review years ago. First: there are no lack of corporate shops in the area that are driven by quarterly profits alone. Maximizing labor hours, recommending services that may not be needed, or (anecdotally) straight up stretching the truth. That said, I have never- not a single time- been advised of something by the crew at Budget that wasnt either absolutely necessary or will be in the near future. They care about your safety and are as honest as the day is long. Second: the integrity that Paul and Wendy run their shop with is evident in every conversation I have had with them as a client. For diagnosis, they've always clearly told me the issue, what caused it so I can avoid it in the future, and what its going to take to fix it in terms that a non-mechanic understands. They respect every financial situation that comes in, and will keep the bill down where they can. Third: things go wrong. Not every service goes as expected, unexpected problems WILL arise from time to time, and there isnt a mechanic on the planet that nails every service perfectly, every time. Any shop that says otherwise I'd be wary of. What matters is how you take care of your people when things DO go sideways, and this is where the Budget crew seriously excels. Paul & Tim have always taken charge of situations like this, worked with me on what my options are, and reached a resolution that is always more than fair. Cant say enough about them here. All in all, I wouldnt take my stuff anywhere else, have had literally over 20 vehicles through here over the decades, and until a world exists without Budget Automotive, theyll get my service every time. Thanks Paul, Wendy, Tim, Mike, and all the crew.
