Buds Auto Repair in
Blair (NE)

Purchased a vehicle from almost 1,000 miles away from Woodhouse Ford down the road from Bud's. Had Bud's perform a pre-purchase inspection for peace of mind, and could not say enough good things about them. Answered the phone with a very friendly tone and conversed with me for more than just business. I decided to go with them as they are not far from Woodhouse and their true local customers appear to have nothing but good things to say. I will add to them, what a genuinely nice experience with Bud's even though I never left Tennessee! I fully trusted that they gave the vehicle a good look and they even brought up very minor 'issues' that some shops would just consider 'normal' and not disclose (ex: wear and tear on key fob) I could tell it was important to them for me to understand the full picture of the purchase I was making and they seem very knowledgable about Ford vehicles. If I was local or when I find myself in Omaha to watch another Vols national championship, I would certainly trust them to service my vehicle. What a breath of fresh air to talk to such friendly people. Thank you for helping out from a far! Very very reasonably priced used vehicle inspection I might add! Happy with my purchase and very happy with the decision to have Bud's give it a look prior to finalizing the deal.

I have come in from IL not to just visit family but also to have Bud's do my oil change, 48,000 mile check up. I have always relied on Bud's to service any of my vehicles. He & is wife Teri are very upstanding owners. They are also very trust worthy.

We had an excellent experience taking both of our cars into Buds! It’s such a relief to find a mechanic we can trust being new in town. Bud and his wife Teri went above and beyond to get our cars fixed up quickly and for a really affordable price. Teri sent us a handwritten note in the mail to thank us for our business the first time we came in, and the second time she personally picked me up from my house so I could get my car and not have to take a taxi. I highly recommend them and I’m so thankful we found Buds! They are one of a kind. 10/10 fantastic service and kind people we can trust! Thank you!!

I will always take any of my vehicles here from now on. I absolutely love this place. Everyone is extremely friendly and explains everything they've done to your vehicle during your visit.

The local dealership was nickel and diming me every time I took my Jeep in for an oil change to the point I no longer trusted the service advisors in anything they said. Bud looked everything over and gave our vehicle a clean bill of health, did exactly what we asked. We live on gravel and due to snow melt causing an excessive amount of mud, Bud's did charge an extra fee for having to deal with all of the caked mud in the wheels for our tire rotation, but I felt that was very fair and reasonable as opposed to simply refusing to do it or making up excuses about why or how it couldn't be done like the other shop. The honesty, speed of service, and quality of work performed thus far has made me a return customer. His pricing was fair and I didn't feel uncomfortable sending my wife in alone to get service thinking they would try and get something over on her. Thanks Bud and family for the work. We will keep giving you our money!

Bud has taken care of my car for 30 years. He is an excellent mechanic, honest, courteous and friendly. I recommend him without reservation.

I have taken a variety of vehicles here for a wide array of repairs....and Bud has always completed everything 100%. Teri keeps us informed and updated of items found, solutions, options, and associated costs. EXCELLENT vehicle repair shop!

Bud's is always dependable, professional and economical. Bud's recently diagnosed a serious problem undetected by others, sourced the parts at a good price and did the repairs quickly.

I wish I could give Buds more than 5 stars My grandma went to the Chrysler Dealership in Blair because she had a noise in the front right, the Dealership recommended $2000 in brake parts. I told my grandma at that price it would be best to get a second look. I called up Buds and had the best conversation with the receptionist so I scheduled the appointment with them. After my grandma took it in they found the FR wheel bearing going out. They replaced it for less than $150 and sent her on her way. I am so impressed with this shop, they didn't have to treat my grandma so nice, they could have screwed her over like the dealership. BUT they treated her like their own family member, actually makes me tear up knowing she was treated so well. If you want a Good, Honest, reliable, straight forward mechanic shop that will take care of you like family, stop by Buds. Thank you for taking care of my Grandma! You guys are the best!

I cannot say enough good things about this shop ♥️. Service was excellent. Honest assessment of my vehicle and great pricing for services. Highly recommend !!

I had a ballast for my headlight replaced. Bud was very friendly. Took the time to explain to me & show me what was wrong. Very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions.

I will be going back! They are amazing Teri seen that I didn’t have a ride back after I dropped my car off and offered a ride and also came and got me when the car was done!! The price was reasonable and it was done in the same day!! Very knowledgeable and was honest thanks guys!!

Buds Auto Repairs is a fantastic Auto Repair shop 10/10! They do great work and at an affordable price. The customer service is excellent, and they always go the extra mile for their customers. They even sent me a Christmas card. Thanks again Buds Auto Repairs

I appreciate that Bud doesn’t do unnecessary work. Teri always calls to let me know if something comes up during an inspection or service that we weren’t expecting, so I can be involved in the decision making process. They do good work and are honest in dealing with people. Thanks Bud and Teri.

They definitely got over on me so beware of scummy tactics. They removed a plastic guard I didn’t ask them to remove and then charged me $35 to remove it. They also charged me $75 to “diagnose” what I already told them was the problem. The amount of hidden charges to make an extra $100 was comical to say the least.

Bud’s Auto Repair is a professional small business auto shop that delivers on customer service, quality and competitive pricing. It is always a pleasure to say hello to Bud, Teri and Ms. Bailey.

Bud and Teri are wonderful and caring people, always friendly, always helpful. I discovered Bud's several years ago and haven't gone any place else since then. Bud is extremely knowledgeable and I fully trust him to make the appropriate repairs when necessary. The costs with Bud are significantly lower than the dealer that I have been previously using to service my cars.

Bud's performed numerous repairs on my step-son's Escape (school car). Their attention to detail and value-based recommendations (and work) was outstanding. Had we engaged a Ford dealership for the repairs, I know the cost would have been double. We strongly recommend their service.

It's difficult to imagine that in today's world, one could find an honest, efficient, fair auto mechanic but that's what you'll find at Bud's Auto. Over the years, he's taken excellent care of my car. He and Teri are courteous, kind and accommodating. Thank you, Bud & Teri!

Bud and Terry are the best! I've had transmission, brake, and even power window work done there and all was done right for the right price the first time. Usually charged less or found a way to keep price under budget or provided additional service free of charge. This is small town friendliess, with best in the country industriousness.

Like always, Bud & Teri took very good care of my car. I'm always happy with their service & prices. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. JJ

I have been doing business with Bud and Teri for years. I have referred many friends there as well. I have never felt like I was getting something more than I needed. They have always treated my family and I well. I will continue to do business with them. Thanks Bud and Teri for everything.

We have been taking all our cars to Bud's Auto Repair for the last 10 years. We continue to have confidence that we will receive quality care from people we love and trust! I highly recommend them!

Bud's is our go-to place for repairs on all 3 family cars. We receive estimates that include best-case and worst-case scenarios, and have never paid more than what was estimated. We trust Bud's because they have always done business with us honestly and respectfully. Our family HIGHLY recommends Bud's Auto.

Took my motorhome to Buds Auto Repair hoping he would be able to do the necessary annual maintenance required. Before I found Buds, I had to drive over to Camping World. I was very pleasantly surprised and happy to find outstanding service in my own backyard. I am confident after 2 visits to Buds that I won't have to make that long, fuel consuming drive.

When I came to Blair 3 years ago I was newly single and needed help with car care. It was at BUD'S I found it. Terri keeps track of what upkeep my car needs! I found Terri and Bud very honest, easy to do business with and interested in me--something you will never find at a big place! Terri knows who I am when I call is and is always accommodating with appointments. It is definitely an asset to do business with local people.

Awesome PERSONAL service! Always a job well done, affordable prices, and most importantly HONEST about what does and does not need to be repaired. We trust them with both our 2010 and 2013 cars for this reason. Thanks Bud & Terri for another job well done
