Consumer Comments for Bucky's Complete Auto Repair

Prices were far too high for a brake job. Unfortunately we were in a bind and needed our vehicle asap. Normally we would pay between $200 to $400 for either new brake pads and rotors or an entire brake job. Bucky charged us $2100!!! They charged nearly $400 per tire!

I’ve been going to Buckys for about 3 years now.. it’s not the best mechanic shop around , but also not the worst. Prices are mostly affordable and they offer a cash advance for up to 1,000 dollars as long as you qualify( we don’t have great credit and we qualified) which is a bonus. Staff is alright- however there’s not a lot of consistency with seeing the same mechanic/staff. There always seems to be a new crew each time we go. The majority of buildings are a touch grimey- could use some cleaning in the waiting rooms- but it’s a mechanic shop, not a wellness center. They seem to get the repairs done correctly, as the only time we went back was never due to a lack of positive repairs on their side- rather a problem with a part we were unable to find, which was constantly needing to be replaced. They typically take a long time to fix the vehicle (we will be there literally all day) which is very annoying, but they do get it done.

I brought my truck in for repair to a front wheel assembly. I provided the part as per their request, and asked them to install it on the passenger side. The report from a Toyota dealer said it was a passenger side issue. Bucky's replaced the driver's side part instead, and blamed me for having an older truck. They refused to fix the issue.

EV Repairs: Are All-Electric Vehicles Reliable? Where Will Owners Get Repairs?

The shift to EVs will affect our choice of vehicles and the way people drive. But in the long term, the way owners get them serviced and repaired will be similar to the way things currently are for gas-engine cars. And EVs will need repairs: So far, most new models aren’t very reliable.
