Budget Auto Repair

I took my 2008 Kia Rio to Budget Auto Repair this morning. Do not be dissuaded by the outside of the shop. It was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had in LA dealing with auto repair shops. They are trustworthy (which means a lot in this town), professional, polite, reasonable prices and speedy! I definitely will be going back there for any auto repair needs.

I went to budget auto repair, I called in advanced and the person on the phone told me a quote of $850, and he insisted to bring it in and they’d take care of me. (Yes I got second opinions, and they said around the same price) So I did go with them, and they had my car for 3-4 days, and I received a call from them saying “it was a mistake, the price is going to be $1,750” almost $1,000 more. When I said I couldn’t pay that and explained that I was quoted a different price, they pretended that it did not exist. And they tried to charge me $500 just to get my car released. And that basically twisted my arm to go with their services. When I get my car, it’s okay for 2 days, the check engine light comes on and starts running funny. I take it back and they say it’s a new problem, and they did not see this problem in their “diagnostic” just a couple of days ago. So now I’ve spent that much on getting my car fixed and it magically has new problems right after leaving this business. And while I was there i heard someone from management stating they were having really slow business, and they were struggling. And I do not believe in coincidences. I would not recommend this auto shop to anyone, and would hate for this to happen to someone else that would be willing to pay and them being taken advantage of because they think they can just do what they want. Just stay clear

I pulled up to Budget Auto and a technician immediately came out to greet me. My front headlight had burned out and he replaced it in less than five minutes. I had put off getting it fixed for some time because I thought it was going to take long. Even though there were a slew of cars being worked on he got this simple task done and I was on my way, and it was a great price as well. I am definitely coming here when I have more serious car trouble.

I have been a customer of Budget Auto Repair for over twenty years and they have serviced a variety of vehicles for me, from an Isuzu Trooper through a Porsche through a Nissan Pathfinder, and now a Mercedes. I would not take a vehicle anywhere else. John is amazingly knowledgeable, thorough, forthright -- and honest beyond compare. He gives me options and assists me in prioritizing work that needs to be done. On top of that Budget Auto Repair has the best and fairest prices on everything. If you live in the Great Los Angeles area, there is simply no reason to go anywhere else. With Budget Auto repair, you cannot go wrong.

This place was very dishonest I needed to purchase a part for my vehicle and I asked if they could order it for me they said yes and quoted me the price. About 30 minutes later I received the item inside of packaging that like it had been opened, the packaging was a name brand. On closer inspection I realized that they had put a cheaper part in the more expensive Parts box and gave it to me. They up charged me $50 for a part I could have got myself at AutoZone. In fact that is exactly where they got the part , AutoZone. The part cost $83 he made me pay $130. I went back to confront him and he said that was just business and I guess that's how he does business so if you don't want to pay more for your service or your parts. Don't go to his shop he's very dishonest and he's just stealing money from customers that needed help.
