On July 21, 2025, I spoke with the owner, Eddie, who agreed to refund me $250. During our…read moreconversation, he acknowledged a breakdown in communication between the original technician and the one who later attempted to complete the work. He admitted that key information wasn't properly passed along. Eddie also confirmed that the confrontation with the tow truck driver did occur, and while he acknowledged it was an unfortunate situation, he said there was blame to go around. That said, my experience with Butler's Automotive, located at 1401 Reynolds Street in Augusta, Georgia, was truly awful. We initially brought our Toyota Tundra in to have the rear wheel bearings replaced. After the job was supposedly completed, I noticed a persistent noise while driving. I returned and asked them to recheck the work. They told me the bearings were fine and instead claimed the driveshaft needed to be replaced. They quoted me $2,200 to install a new driveshaft. Alternatively, if I provided my part, they would charge $400 for installation. I was also told that if I chose not to proceed with the installation, I would still owe $200 for labor already performed. I ordered a new driveshaft and had it shipped directly to their shop. After the driveshaft arrived, they told me it wouldn't work and insisted I now owed $400--double the amount originally stated if I chose not to go forward with the job. When I pushed back and reminded them of the $200 agreement, they justified the higher charge by citing time spent moving the truck in and out of the bay. Though I strongly disagreed, I paid the $400 just to get my vehicle back. Once I had the truck, I installed the same driveshaft myself without issue. The part simply required a universal joint strap--something any competent technician should have recognized and handled easily. Their claim that the part didn't fit was unfounded. To make matters worse, when the tow truck driver arrived to retrieve my vehicle, Eddie and several employees were disrespectful and used profanity toward him. Their behavior was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. In total, I lost $400--$200 in unnecessary shop fees and $200 for towing--due to poor communication, misdiagnoses, and unprofessional conduct. While I appreciate the partial refund, the overall experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend Butler's Automotive to anyone. If I could give them a rating below one star, I would.
