Dax went above and beyond with the repairs on my vehicle. He even picked it up at my work and dropped it off when he was done. Quality work with fair prices. Five star all the way!

My wife was pulling our 32' travel trailer with the family and 250 miles away from me/home at the beginning of their vacation. The truck blew a high pressure oil pump line (diesel) and left them stranded on the side of I-35S just on the Huxley, IA off-ramp. I called Bud's Auto Repair because of the good ratings and close proximity and I'm so glad I did. Dax, was the first person I talked to and he was both timely and professional. He and I talked over the situation and he got the trailer and my family to his shop and the truck to a diesel specialist up in Ames. The point is he made an awful situation

Today I was stranded on I35 going north between Huxley and Ames on GAME DAY!!! Dax, the owner of Bud’s Auto Repair and Towing and came out with his tow truck! I can not say enough about how much I appreciate what they did. They literally put their life on the line, when they deal with interstate traffic. Thank you Dax! You made sure my van was in working order before you sent me on my way.

I've known Bud for close to 25 years but when I moved to Ames, I stopped driving to Huxley to have my auto work done. However after a couple overpriced or dishonest car repair jobs I came back and once again got honest and accurate service from a thoroughly nice guy and his mechanics. Worth the drive every time.

My truck blew a fuel pump and Buds was the AAA tow company. I asked at the time of the tow I asked if they handled fuel pumps on Nissan trucks and how they compared price wise to a dealer. They assured me they could beat the pricing no issues. Well they quoted me $832 which seemed high compared to all the online posts for replacement costs. I called the dealer and they said they could do install for a clean $700. I called Buds back to see what the price difference was a result of they said they broke some bolts on the skid plate when taking off and doing diagnostic work. I asked what it would cost
