Joe and his crew are true professionals. There is no job they can't handle and he will shoot you straight on pricing, timeframes, services and if you should explore other options. I've had 4 vehicles serviced here for a multitude of situations and Joe has been great to work with.

Buss automotive has been my only vehicle service and repair shop for at least 20 years, I've lost count by now. Joe is very knowledgeable and does consistently expert and affordable repair and service work. You can't do any better! JACK

I've delt with these guys 4 times now, and I have to say I've found my mechanics for life. They do good work, AND if something comes up outside of their control, they'll be sure to make things right. They have a great warranty on their service and will always make sure your vehicle is running properly. 5 out of 5, would recommend.

Horrible. Got charged $75 for a new fuse and incompetent "work". They didn't even look at anything we thought could've been causing the issue. Car still doesn't work and we paid $75 for something we could've gotten for less than $20.
