102 N Hyland Ave, Ames“Exceptional, fast and easy service. 10s across the board. I've always been anxious about taking my car to the shop due to prior bad experiences, but Eric and his team have yet to let me down. They explain the diagnostic results thoroughly, perform the service swiftly, and almost always have my car done by the end of the appointment day. I cannot recommend them enough and especially to college students!!”
“Shutting an entire drive-through down is not a popular thing to do but very thankful for quickly being rescued by Bobby Wells with Central Iowa Towing. Bobby was super kind and helpful when he towed my brand new beast away.”
“I've taken my daughter's Beetle there a few times, and every time they are great. They understand that they have a lot of students that have to drive a lot going to Iowa State. They are very thorough, and very reasonable with their rates. Highly recommend.”

128 Sumner Ave, Ames“I have brought my car here three times and I have had a excellent experience each time. The first time they accidentally messed up the AC system (while replacing something unrelated). I picked up the car late on a Friday evening, so their mechanics were out and it couldn't get fixed until Monday. They helped me out and loaned me a car (for free) for the weekend. The second time they went out of their way to get a replacement radiator delivered in time before I left for a road trip. The third time they spent 3 days trying to diagnosis an issue I thought had but they couldn't replicate, and they didn't charge me for it.
What you get here are honest mechanics who charge a fair price and take care of their customers. 10/10 would recommend.”

“BUD'S COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our son's 2007 Nissan Altima has been a great car—reliable, with 150,300 miles, and only needing minor upkeep to keep him going from point A to point B. A few weeks ago, we had the left caliper replaced, and the team at Bud's was amazing! Fast forward a few weeks, and we noticed another brake issue on the left side. It turned out to be a fluke, but after having our Nissan towed back to Bud's, the owner took my call on Monday morning, just 15 minutes after the shop opened. By that time, they had already diagnosed the issue, ordered the necessary parts, and assured us that the repair would be covered under warranty.
Though the part in question might not have traditionally been covered under warranty, Bud's recognized that it had affected the previous work. They warrantied and replaced everything that had been impacted by the faulty piece, which was a huge relief!
I knew Bud's was different during my last visit for my husband's A/C repair. A gentleman came into the shop to buy lunch for the entire staff from a nice Huxley restaurant and even offered to buy me, a customer in the waiting area, lunch as well. He was so appreciative of the honest work that Dax, Tyler, and the entire team do. That man was a walking billboard for Bud's, and now I am too!
If you're tired of constantly spending money on car repairs only to have more problems crop up, choose Bud's. They know what they’re doing and stand behind their work and their people.
In 2024, when customer service feels like a thing of the past, Bud's is a breath of fresh air. They treat their customers with respect and fairness, which is hard to come by these days.”
