Bud's Wrecker Service & Repair in
Junction City (KS)

Had to get our truck towed this morning and it was a ways out on the interstate. These people were friendly and efficient, took the truck back to our apartment and it was affordable. Definitely a lot of help to us today, thank you!

Well my experience was just with towing and it was great. He came quick maybe 30 minutes? Over by fort Riley Gates and towed us back home it was quick and easy.Thanks again

Be careful. They’ll tow your vehicles without legal reason to. I bought a car from their auction and they gave it to me after I gave them the money and they came to my house and towed it away. I’d highly NOT recommend them as the owner is very rude and disrespectful. She called me names and did not care to hear what had to be said. Don’t waste your time. They have trash service and they are trash people.

If I could I'd give this place a 0 star because I do not recommend them after my experience, it's better late then never to share my experience though. I (a SM on ft Riley) had a medical episode while driving and crashed into a tree. EMS arrived and within a few minutes got rushed to the hospital. Talked to Police and after getting out I was informed my vehicle was towed (by bud's wrecker). My NCO rushed me down there because I had SI and some other things I needed still in the car. *Found out the price from top of the hill to this wrecker shop was $470... All because the "wheel wasn't straight, they had no keys, and I wasn't there". I was also unable to get ANY of my items from my vehicle or sign the vehicle to them which forced me to sell my vehicle to a scrap yard for $500, just so I can get my stuff and insurance wasn't getting back to me. So take it how you will but I will NEVER use this tow service again after how they screwed me.

Literal theft! They charge storage for days when they are unwilling to return your property to you. I'm all for employees having days off, but they have no right to charge customers for that privilege. They shouldn't be used by the police, they should be brought in for questioning by the police!

Very bad experience I was trying for 2an hours to get me unstuck sent them Google maps everything on fort riley after that time they tell me couldn't find me for me to find help somewhere else manhattan wrecker came straight there within minutes they kept me waiting for 2 an half hours then tell me they said find someone else ugh an they qouted me If they got there would469 dollars just to pull me out but manhattan wrecker was twice cheaper an they found me thank jesus

VERY RUDE! I asked for help changing a flat tire I had a full size spare and had it taken down I just didn't have a jack that was tall enough to get it changed I offered to pay double because of the weather and the lady on the phone said we are not changing truck tires and was extremely rude and didn't bother to even ask the guys if one of them would come out.

Nick was absolutely amazing he was able to put my truck exactly where I wanted it. Very knowledgeable about everything and you can tell he really enjoys what he dose for a living.

Very impressed! The young gentleman who helped us this morning was fantastic. Polite, called to give us an ETA, , arrived early, and was gentle with our vehicle. I called through State Farm Roadside and they contracted Bud’s, but I would absolutely recommend

Truck got a flat tire on I-77 thanks to the road construction. Nick, the tow-truck driver was at my location within ten minutes! He's a good person; was professional, knowledgeable, and fast. I would definitely use these guys again.

My experience with this family owned company was astounding. They have maintained their establishment since 1946 and I can understand why. Nick, the grandson, was so kind and friendly towards me and my 5 month old son. I went through my insurance for the tow and this was the first time a tow has showed up within an hour anytime I or friends were in need. He took the time to check out my car to see if it was an easy fix but couldn't get it. When we talked about trying to find a shop he made a call to a local shop he knows and had me there in no time. The owner, Nick's Grandmother, was sweet and endured me nervously nonstop talking lol! I'm new to the area and it was just so nice to have help from people who take care of their community. I hope this reaches anyone who needs help and I hope you choose this company because they are wonderful. Thank you so much Nick for helping me on a really crappy day! I know you guys work hard and it shows in the effort you put for me and my son!

They did a great job. Arrived for pick up at the said time. I requested pictures to be sent once the car got delivered, and she did. I felt $85 was a bit on the high side for a 13-minute distant, though.

Like many, I used Buds because of my insurance. I had locked my keys in the car. They were there quickly and was very friendly. They also kept me notified via text about their arrival time. (Thank you Nick!)

Reading other reviews I really couldn't believe most of them were pointed at the receptionist. When I had called she was so helpful on getting me the information I needed, and informed me on all the documents she would need from me. When I had arrived she had a friendly smile and was happy to assist me outside with my vehicle even while raining. Very professional, kind, understanding people here. Thank you Buds!

I have actually had to use their service twice through my insurance company and both times Bud’s came through for me within a decent time! They took care of my situation, fast and easy, and they were very professional and courteous. I read the other reviews and I’m not sure, but the lady that was on the phone with me from Bud’s, was professional and courteous, and was not rude to me! Thank y’all for all your help!

My experience was very good. All the guys was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The lady working the front office was courteous and resourceful. Very nice. I'd use this businews again without hesitation.

I had put in a roadside assistance claim cause I was a dummy & locked my keys in the car at the gas station over on HWY 77. They were there before I even finished my jerky, I swear. It was about a 15 minute wait between my claim & him being there- he was done within 35 seconds. Super nice guy as well! Highly recommend them!

My car broke down and had it towed by this repair shop through my insurance. At first I did not want to leave a review but looking at other reviews, I see there is a recurring issue about the lady on the phone. Se was extremely rude and disrespectful with me on the phone from start to finish. Upon picking up the phone she started talking to me with derision. Later in the conversation she was telling me: "I don't care where you are ... but you have to be there in 15 min" etc.... The mechanic/driver was very nice but this lady has a problem. Nobody should be doing business like this in the 21st century. If you want to avoid a bad day besides the stress of your car breakdown, stay away from this shop. I hope they will respond to the review and tell me she is no longer working there. The Manhattan, JC community does not deserve such treatment.

Had to have my car towed. They were here very quick. Very nice guy who came out for the tow. Really like this place and would highly recommend.

Had our car towed after an accident to their yard until it is moved to a collision place. The lady on the phone was extremely rude and unprofessional. She shouldn’t even be working that job if she can’t act decent enough on the phone when someone asks important questions during a sensitive time. I would NEVER recommend this place due to the receptionist/lady on phone. Kindness goes a long way and she clearly don’t know what that word means. The man who picked the car up was great! Had no issues with him. He was extremely helpful during the pickup process of our car after the accident.

fastest tow truck experience ever! Nick was very punctual and professional, we will be recommending Buds Wrecker to any friends in the area needing towing services. thanks again!

Excellent costumer service. My keys got locked in the car, called my insurance to make a claim. They recommended Buds company. They were at my house in 10 minutes or less. In and out. Definitely recommend.

The driver was very knowledgeable about what he was doing with my vehicle, and how to get it up on the flatbed without damaging it. He placed the car exactly in the spot I wanted it in the driveway.

Bud's Wrecker Service was dispatched through my roadside assistance. The gentleman arrived rather quickly and was personable, kind and efficient. I called my dealership to ensure that my vehicle had arrived and it had promptly been dropped off. Thank you!

Our insurance company sent out Buds to jump start my husbands truck, 1st they never called to let us know they were on their way, my husband looked out the window and seen someone messing with his truck. 2nd they brought DEAD jumper boxes (husband has 2 batteries on his truck) to try and jump his truck and instead of taking responsibility for it they blamed it on my husbands truck saying his truck completely killed their boxes. The boxes gave no power what so ever to his truck. He was there no more than 10-15 mins and said the batteries were trash and he needed to buy new ones. Called the insurance company back and filed a complaint and they sent someone else out and they jump started it with no issues at all. We also have our own personal battery tester, the batteries are good not trash like they said. Very unprofessional and rude.

Asked the lady on the phone about towing prices just now. She was really rude. If you cant even answer the phone politely than you don't need my business. Based on other reviews I would probably fire the receptionist and hire someone professional. She is scaring away business from you guys.

Stranded on I70 west of Junction City and not only were they there within a few minutes but already knew what repair shop was open and where we could get service late on a Saturday! You saved our day MM! Thank you for your professionalism and rescue. Price was more than fair for this service. Call these guys 1st!
