Several years ago I had a problem my mechanic wasn't equipped to fix; he told me "take it to Budd, they're too good and too busy to need to cheat". I've taken my 3 cars there for 8 years now and they've been close to perfect. They're not cheap, but better than the dealers. They ALWAYS have it ready when promised. They do the work to suit the car; a great example is my 19 year old Cadillac, he recommended against fixing the air conditioning as the cost would be incommensurate with the remaining life of the car. Mike, who runs the place, seems to genuinely like his work. He WANTS to do good work, and almost always does.
