I have spent over $4,000 with Bud's over the past year .I have a 2004 BMW 5 series. I took my BMW into Bud's to have the battery changed. First to start when I went in they told me that I should have a diagnostic test done about $165 to makes sure what was wrong with it, then they recommended to have the Alternator changed for about $640. I said no thank you I just want the battery changed. The reason I knew it was the battery is that the tow truck driver that brought it in did a few test and let me know it was just the battery. I asked Jesse the manager to please make sure that the battery is registered to the car. BMW need to have this done, due to the fact the computer uses the alternator differently depending on the life of the battery. If this is not done the life of the battery will be drain and you could possibly have issues with the electrical system. When I picked up the car Jesse insured me that this was done. I took it to BMW to make sure this was done, it was not registered to the car and it cost me $264 to have it registered, since it wasn't done at the time of the battery change. Please be careful taking your cars to Bud's. They don't know what they are doing regarding BMW issues and for simple things like changing the battery and following the process that need to be done when regarding vehicle computers. I called Jesse to inform that I was charged $264 dollars from the dealership to complete the registration process. I asked gI if he would pay the bill. He said no. I asked for owners information and he said they are now owned by a corporation. I was given the number (585) 647-6400 for the Monro Corp. I called them and they asked me to email them the documentation. I will let you know how it goes. read more

i was in and out within 30-45 mins. they were super fast and efficient while being super friendly. i would recommend coming here.

Yes, They are friendly and fix my car, whenever I need their expertise. Their location is perfect for me. Food restaurants nearby, Starbucks also. Bud's tire pros do more than tires. Most Sincerely, Mary read more

Get there before 8am left there before 5pm got do nothing done, ask through front desk ones and ask the manager twice quote for My car tires they told me too busy will check it out and will let me k know later but wait until today no one told me how much will cost, I think they refuse to do my business there, why?

Bud's Tire Pros - What do you think with this note, I'm there before 8am left there before 5pm got do nothing. - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverside, California

Update: Turns out their diagnosis was wrong the owner Bud told me there's nothing they can do because a part was discontinued and to sell my car. It was the radiator fan! I took it to a reliable shop and they fixed it for me. Now I have cold air! What a nightmare taking it to Buds. Like I previously said, they are no AC pros. I'd only recommend this place for tires and will only take my car back here because I bought my tires through them. Otherwise go elsewhere for engine problems. Still waiting to hear from their store manager about the part they broke off pulling my dashboard guess I'll just have to fix that on my own too. read more

I came into Bud's Tire Pros recommended by a friend and was not greeted by anyone. I was in desperate need of help. I finally caught the attention of a sales rep who had sunglasses on inside. It was extremely weird he had sunglasses on indoors, and he was also very rude and offered little to no help. I cannot speak to the workmanship (because they tried to charge me $150 for an oil change) the establishment provides, but the customer service was horrible. Moral of the story don't trust a guy that wears sunglasses inside and take your car to Tire Choice down the street. read more

Thank you for the service, specifically to Ricky who took care of my truck and good customer service

I have had nothing but problems with this store. When I bought my tires they did not return my rim key and denied that I had it in my trunk. So I have to buy a new rim lock set. Then when I took it in for tire rotation they did not tighten and lost rim cover. They again denied it, and I had to buy a new rim cover. Then I took my car in for tire balance, and they stripped lug nuts, but didn't replace. This is the WORST shop! Do NOT go to BUD's. I am so disappointed! I went here because they supported the kids school band. But the service is pure dishonest! read more

It's a tire shop, nothing less nothing more. I had an electrical issue and they kept my car 2 days and didn't fix it, so I told them to wrap it up and close my tab, we're done here. They kept it a 3rd day, couldn't 1) fix it, 2)return it, or 3) call me to close it out. It's an F all around. read more

It often seems sooooo hard to find automotive services the consumer can trust. Trust Bud's. I used to price match with TireRack.com. I no longer waste my time. The Pros at Bud's ALWAYS have the best number and the best value. Plus, I know I'm supporting a local privately owned business. I have just started moving all our cars to @ContinentalTires. Absolutely the best tire for your dollar. Do give Bud's a look and a chance at serving your tire needs. read more

With an appointment, I sat and waited for an hour before my car was touched or left the parking lot. At which point I was told within 20 minutes that my tire couldn't be repaired & I needed new tires. Needless to say I got new tires elsewhere & won't be going back to Bud's Tire Pros! read more

Great service and always helpful ! Hans and Jesse are always great to deal with ! Wait times can be long with how busy they are but worth the wait for most read more

I waited in line for the Manager to assist 2 customers in front of me. He kept making excuses as to why he didn't know about particular inventory for a customer. A whole set of tires and the customer left somewhere else. I get to the front of the line. I asked if his technician could check if I had a flat about a 5 minute task. He wanted me to drop my car off on a Sunday and come back later to get it. Basically wasting my entire Sunday waiting on my vehicle. I left $35 repair lost. This is why businesses go down! Won't be back ! The technician was nice tho read more

Got charged $140 at 11am for an oil change and to fix a nail in the tire they say two hours. I wait 2 and half call and they say they're working on it give them another hour I wait another two hours show up at 3:30 at 5pm they FINALLY pull in my car I leave at 6:30 and they only gave me $30 off... IT TOOK THEM FROM 11-6:30, 7 AND A HALF HOURS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE REPAIR ARE YOU SERIOUS WHILE LYING TO ME THE ENTIRE TIME so obnoxious they clearly didn't care for a smaller paycheck so they wasted my time how nice! read more

We were heading out to a trip with our 32ft trailer and needed some air in our tires- our pump went out. We pulled into this spot and Rick was great! He gladly helped us out and made a great start to our day. Thanks Rick! read more

Car maintenance is expensive but, I was past due for my brakes, tires, and alignment to be done. I was able to get my car back relatively quickly and Bud's kept me updated on the status of my car. They did not try to upswell me on any unnecessary charges. Very pleased I had a good experience and my car feels safe, smooth, and has no squeak. Will go back for any of my car maintenance needs! read more

I brought my car here yesterday, i was supposed to get an AC inspection with them bec. The other Buds @ MoVal says my car requires a different freon than the regular one, and this location has it. But they ran a problem with my car, they said the AC machine detected contamination and went to safe mode, so they couldnt fix it, and had to take it to the honda dealership instead, they took about 3 hrs. To check it out, i have no problem with that, but they were nice enough to give me a lyft ride home while i wait. The Buds @ MoVal doesnt even do that!! Its either you stay, leave with a friend's car, or take an uber/lyft ride home. Rides going home doesnt come cheap. Jesse was the one who helped me out, in fact all the front guys and staff were very friendly and professional with their job, i like the fact that they took a look at my car right away, as soon as i checked in at my appointment. The other Buds @ MoVal, even though you had an appointment with them, like right when they open, theres other cars came before me already parked in their garage! Anyway, even though they didnt get my car fixed, i think i actually prefer going to this location instead, the location is a bit bigger and i been a loyal Bud's customer for years! One question to the owerns: if i made a lifetime alignment warranty with Buds @ MoVal, can i use it in this location too? Cuz i think you can look up my records with my phone number. read more

This is a warning for all who read this review. These people take advantage of people who do not have much knowledge on cars. They told me that the car needed a big job that would cost over 1K then I took the car to another mechanic and he said it was a simple fix that wouldn't cost much at all. I think it is completely shameful that they really thought i was that dumb to fall for their lies and for that same reason they have lost my service and my trust. Do not waste your time with this business. read more

I would like to start off by saying that I am a father of 4 grown kids, a retired Navy Veteran, and MECHANICALLY inclined! and I am Indigenous to these lands of the Americas. Now, I am a true believer in allowing my kids to handle their own business themselves, so my son-in-law took my daughter's Jeep Patriot in for service and was told a list of items that needed to be done, front & back brakes motor mounts and both front rotors I myself had done the front brake pads less than 3 months prior to them taking the Jeep to them, and not only that they had made the comment that the Brake Pads were installed backward on both sides. and the total bill came up to a grand total of $600.00 and some change. They kept the vehicle overnight to complete this work that was a scheduled appointment. which brings me to this point of writing this review. just yesterday since I have relocated closer to my daughter I am more available to help with small auto repairs to save her and her husband money being that they have 2 beautiful little girls, my granddaughters, I went over to do a front brake job on the Jeep and a Tire rotation. Look here, I'm 220 lbs. man in shape, not only did I have an issue breaking the lug nuts free later to find out that there was a small amount of lock tight put on the studs, one of the threaded pins for the caliper was stripped and left on her car! Now any ordinary person would be stuck but I managed to remove the pin and replace it with a new one ( which should have been done @ Bud's ) So I hope that this helps not only the readers but the single Black female, young Black man, and anyone else that goes to any of these establishments seeking to get an honest diagnosis of their vehicle and gets this type of treatment. Maybe I should come out of retirement, just a thought..... read more

I am so thankful that this place opened up close to home. Bud's has top-quality service. Their front staff are always friendly and very helpful. They do thorough work here - never had any issues after leaving. Their prices are not bad either. I pay around $70 for an oil change, which includes rotation and balance of tires. They offer packages for things like alignment. I paid $210 for lifetime warranty! I highly recommend coming here; it is one of the best auto shops that I've been to. read more

Bud's has changed ownership and as a result, customer service. My daughter's car had a shake in the steering wheel. We took the car and they 'inspected' it, for 45 minutes. They recommended we balance the tires and have the rotors turned (approx $400). Three employees stood at the car looking and looking and so we decided to have just the balance done. We brought the car back to the house and I lifted the car with a jack and heard a clunk. Removed the tire and found a bolt was loose on the front end. We tightened the bolt and all shaking went away. I spoke with the manager at Bud's and asked for my money back ($30), they refused. We've been going there for years and years, but I think it's time to find another place. read more

This place is disappointing. Do not trust their quoted timeframes. I'm sure they do decent work, but I'll never know, because I just picked up my car--it's been sitting there all day and they never touched it. I needed a brake job done same day. Called them in the morning and they say if I bring it in before lunch time they can have it done by the afternoon. I have it there by 11am. They say they'll call me with an estimate once they get a chance to inspect the car. Hours go by and no call. Finally at 3pm I call to see the status; they haven't even touched the car yet. It's now 5pm and I just picked up my car, they never touched it. Wasted a whole day waiting when I could've just taken it somewhere else. Based on other reviews it sounds like this is a pattern. If you're gonna try this place just be prepared to wait a lot longer than they say. read more

check your dipstick people! they think they are doing you a favor by overfilling your engine oil! they do it consistently, 1-2 quarts too much oil on every oil change, i had to pump out oil on every car i own and now one has a serious oil leak! read any owners manual! overfilling will ruin your engine! for god's sake you idiots, google it! read more

Called to see how long it was going to take to put 2 tires on. They said we got them in stock and it was going to be about an hour or 2. I said "cool I'll be right in." I live around the corner so the 4 mins it took me to get there magically now its 2 to 3 hours. Hummm.... all within 4 mins. Don't lie to you clients. 3 hours later I'm still here my tires JUST got here and my car has been in the air for 30 mins and no one has touched it. Had they told me they didn't have my tires there I would have went somewhere eles where they have them in stock! I am officially late for work! Thank you! Best of all they didn't even care. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Always helpful, I love these guys! The service is impeccable every time I go. The prices are fair and they back their product. Great place, great people read more

Went to this one last night to replace 1 tire. They take off the wrong tire. Then I came back today. The guy say oh no problem we will just switch them back. Then he picks up the wrong keys. And says oh that was simple mistake. He literally pulls in the wrong car. Which means he doesn't check what car he needs to do. If my husband had not been watching and stopped him. He would have changed the tire on the wrong car.They made me feel as if it was no big deal that they made come back to fix their mistake read more

This place is more than a tire shop; it's a full service friendly environment. Because of their excellent service, not only do I take my vehicles there to be serviced, but so does my husband, mom, sister, and brother in law. Yup, the whole family :) Bud's is a fair pricing shop, with great values and professional employees. They also take care of your vehicle in a timely manner and give you several updates throughout the day and also call you in advance if another issue is found to recommend a repair if needed, and receive your consent before they actually do the work. I have been going to Jesse for years now and he makes the entire process so easy and pleasant. Thank you to the entire team at Bud's for being AWESOME! read more

I recently went here to have my car looked at since it was acting up. They also saw that I needed some maintenance and I had that done as well. We thought that the original problem that I went in for was fixed but soon found out that the problem was still happening. They picked up my car from work and worked on it for no charge since they said they should have been able to find the issue earlier. Hans and Rico were extremely helpful and kind and I really appreciated their help even though my car was being difficult. They went above and beyond to take care of me. I'm so happy that my car is fixed and that I had a great experience with them. read more

I got a screw in my tire, SO I came here to get it repaired. They took me in quickly, estimated $20 to repair and about 45 minutes because they were busy. After about 35 mins I saw them park my truck, like they were done with it, I waited about 10 minutes, and they didn't call me up, so I approached and asked if it was done. He shuffled through the packets and found mine and said it was. Collected my $20 and I was out of there. Had I not had to wait the unnecessary 10 minutes, I would have given them 5 stars. read more

The team at Bud's Orangecrest again met and exceeded my expectations. From the gentleman that helped me with my Jeep tires to the manager who went the extra mile making sure everything was taken care of for me and my family. I do not get much time off of work, especially with what is going on right now in the world. I really appreciate them getting me in and out so quickly on my only day off. The team and manager at Bud's Orangecrest deserve the utmost praise and thanks for working and keeping our communities vehicles serviced and on the road during these trying and worrisome times. I want you all at Bud's to know that you have earned a customer for life and your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Thank you very much, Cory read more

$160 for diagnosis? I went to Autozone and they pulled up the code for free in less than 2 min. Please be aware for thieving prices.

This place has really gone downhill since it got bought out. I bought my tires new there with the road hazard warranty. It still cost me $90 to replace a damaged tire. Rotations were supposed to be free . They are chronically understaffed and who has 5 hours to get a simple tire rotation? Time is money and I regret buying my tires there and will not be going back at all. read more

Sent my son up to this "Christian business" to get his lugs switched out as the caps were rounded and couldn't be removed manually. Manager laughed and quoted him $25 a lug for a total of $600.... What a joke. I called there after my son told me and they said yeah it's $25 a lug without even looking at the issue. Don't send your teenage kids or wives to this supposedly Christian business. CBU should remove them from their local business guide too. Absolute joke of a "family Christian business"... read more

Horrible!!! I paid for Lifetime Alignment at Bud's Tire for all of my vehicles, but now that they have changed ownership, they no longer honor the Lifetime Alignment that I have already paid for! I have spent thousands of dollars at Bud's and now they have lost a customer! read more

People, please don't bring your car to Bud's Tire Pros, especially the one on wood. I make a deal with Rich, the owner, to change my front brake pads for 159.99 for my Toyota Camry LE 2006. Instead of changing the front brake pads with the cost of brake pads only 30 for material, he just rotate and cleaning the rotors and charge my wife 159.99. That is cheating and lair. This is none ethical. read more
