If you want an honest mechanic who won’t give you the run around, this is it! They explained what was going on with our car and gave us options.
Ivan was especially patient with us and very knowledgeable and professional.
This is the only place I will bring my vehicles to.

Dan was very helpful with diagnosing a sound on my truck. One wheel bearing they were able to replace and recommended a shop to do the rear. Honest and efficient

Easy to set up a repair appointment and Dowdy’s actually works on the vehicle when they say they are going to! Fast diagnostics and reasonable quotes for necessary maintenance. Great all around service and friendly people.

We had a break issue with our 2004 GMC Sierra. We were traveling back to California. Dan Rowe at Dowdy's Automotive of Meridian helped us out tremendously. Great experience! I have relatives who live in Meridian, who have had trouble finding good reputable automotive repair. I would highly recommend Dowdy's... thanks Dan, you guys were great.
Dowdy's is wonderful! They listen to me and they work hard to get my car fixed and back to me in a timely manner (which I really appreciate!). I definitely recommend Dowdy's. 10/10
I always go to Dowdy's for car repairs. As a woman who doesnt know alot about cars, I feel like they are fair and they dont try to sell me un-necessary repairs or try to upsell me. I feel I can trust them to do what's right and to do a great job on my cars.
I haven’t been in ID very long and always worry about finding a new shop… I have taken my Jeep in Twice for service and they have been awesome both times! They are my new Jeep guys!!
Turned out to be a simple relay replacement. Wish they would have just told me it was a super simple fix and not charged me the full labor amount. Sure, I agree with the diagnosis fee, as they need paid for that time, but to charge the full labor fee they did for a 15 sec relay replacement was a bit much.
Dowdy’s is awesome! They always do a very thorough assessment to figure out what’s wrong, and then the repair is quick and easy. I’ve primarily talked with Dan and he is great! Very straightforward service. We appreciate Dowdy’s and call here for all of our repair needs!
I am 77 year old female and only have one vehicle--a 22 year old Ford Explorer. Dowdy's always goes the extra mile to keep it running. I trust them and I appreciate their service. They always make me feel like I'm their top priority.
Five Stars! Dan and Robert at the South Meridian location were helping me today. The are both super knowledgable and very friendly! They got my vehicle in right away. The work was done very well and I am a very happy customer. This was my first visit to Dowdy's and I will certainly be going there from my auto needs.
I have used Dowdy Automotive many times simply because their staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

The repair work is always top notch and I would highly recommend Dowdy’s to anyone. They do fantastic work!!
