About us

Budget Brakes & Service opened its doors on August 3, 1979. At that time the building was a small 2 bay facility, which was adequate for the time. Business grew rapidly over the next 4 years to where it was necessary to expand the building to its current size of 6 bays. Unless someone gets a tour of the facility, it looks like a 3 bay operation from the street; however the back of the building mirrors the front 3 bays, for a total of 6. This will usually allow us to have an opening for service, even if it appears like the front 3 bays are occupied. During this time, more than 34 years, brake systems have been our area of specialty and account for 50% of our business. However, we also perform complete auto and brake repair service here as well. We have stayed updated with all the current methods of auto service, and receive monthly updates to our database for quick and accurate diagnosis of systems. We also use the latest diagnostic equipment to insure your vehicle is properly repaired the first time. Our senior staff enjoys over 40 years of combined knowledge to insure your complete satisfaction. We offer computerized follow up and service reminders, this way you don't have to worry about remembering when your vehicle is due for service or what is necessary. If you can't get here during our normal business hours, we have an after hours drop box for your convenience. We are also aware that being without your vehicle while it's in for service can be very frustrating so we offer courtesy loaner vehicles to our customers (call for details). So, as you can see, we've been here for you in the past and will be here for you in the future. We can solve all your automotive service needs from bumper to bumper and anything in between. We at Budget Brakes & Service are totally committed to your overall satisfaction.

They were very professional. We can always get something cheaper but it doesn't mean that it's going to be a better quality.

We have taken our cars to Budget Brake and Repair for some time now.  They are very professional and forthright.  My son, took his car in and was told how he could make the repair himself and save quite a bit of money.  It was extremely refreshing to work with a service vendor with customer retention and quality as a standard

It was good. They had one mechanic named Phil, and he was very accommodating and made sure I had a car. He made sure that my car was filled with gas when he brought it back to me. He also made sure that the car was washed. I like the fact that they give you another car while your car is being serviced because a lot of places do not do that.

Took my mother's car in for service regarding a problem with her front wheels.  We were greeted by Phil, a very friendly, knowledgeable and outgoing gentleman, who immediately made my mother feel at ease with leaving her car there for service.  He answered all her questions and explained things thoroughly.  He called when the car had been inspected and outlined everything that was found to be needed, explaining in layman's terms exactly why a certain item needed repair.  He broke it down as to what was needed immediately and what could wait; what was needed for safety reasons and what could be done at a later time.  It ended up that she needed to have new rotors on the front wheels,   They had become warped and could not be resurfaced.  The rear wheel cylinders needed to be replaced as they were frozen.  He then outlined other things that were in need of repair, but could be put off for a while and done at our leisure.  The engine light had been on and they inspected that and found that only a small hose had come loose, which they immediately attached at no charge.  All in all, our experience with this shop was excellent.  This is our second time using the facility and each time we have felt at ease about leaving mom's car there.  Phil is an asset to the facility as he makes one feel very comfortable and is very patient and explains things so that you can understand the reason for the service.  He is good at outlining all the problems and being very specific about each.  Would definitely recommend this facility for service on your car.
