Tim is a great and fair tech. I called a lot of other shops for a diesel engine oil change they all wanted way more then the Granger dealership. I called Tim and he said he could do it for the same price as the dealership, he is about 2 miles from my house right in town and the same price score. I have had him do a few more things since then but have taken my vehicles to him since then for quick work.

Over the years, a number of sources told me budget break and chassis is the best in the business. They did an extraordinary job yesterday and suppressed my expectations. I highly recommend.

May not look like much from the outside and where it’s located but man, they do great work. Both times I’ve been there (both mine and my wife’s cars) and the guys are quick and honest. Actually told me I’d be good getting no service fo 20-30k miles and there would be no charge for looking at it. If they keep treating their other customers like they did me they will continue to have a thriving business.

I noticed my brakes were grinding and I couldnt go any longer without getting them replaced. I called at 8:30am and they were able to squeeze me in for same day service. It was extremely affordable and all of the staff were friendly. I will be returning and referring friends as well.

Worse place to take your car to. The guy is a scam. He replaced the wrong part and charged me $500 for it then when I told him to fix what I took the car to him for he says that they can’t fix it there. Didn’t return my money. I don’t recommend them to anyone. These are the kind of guys you take your car to get fixed and then drive off with more problems.

Best place Ive been to so far constant updates on your vehicle great prices for automotive repairs and friendly staff theyre not just in it for the money you can tell they actually want to make sure your vehicle is safe for you to drive and inform you of any repairs that you dont necessarily need right then but to keep an eye on is super helpful

Ive been coming her for years now. They are always honest and helpful. Ive been to other spots and the service just didnt compare. Wont be going anywhere else unless I have too. Sometimes, as a women, it feels like people are trying to pull a fast one on me, but not here.

Writing these as Tim services my vehicle. Coming from another state it is hard to find someone as reliable and professional as him. No up sales here just got to the point and perfect pricing. Definitely will recommend it here !

The people here are nice but I waited over 4 hours for service after they told me an hour and a half estimated... they got the wrong part gave me no updates until I asked.... and quoted me way over what the price that was said... I wish I had never entered this place... me personally would not recommend!!!!

We have used Budget Brake on many different occasions, as we own a mechanic shop but do not have an alignment rack. We use them whenever we need an alignment done. Never had any issues with Tim or his staff. They are ALWAYS very friendly, and professional. From one small business owner to another, Keep up the good work!!! You guys are GREAT!!!!McCannics Garage

Literally every time, its prompt, polite, and you cant beat the price!I called one place and asked for a lightbulb replacement, $89.... I called Tim, $8.Today, Im doing some break work, I asked one place, they said eh, around $100; Tim? he knew right off the top of his head, $82. He is just the type of guy you can trust. and THAT is what keeps us locals coming back!!!
