Vic Baily Honda asked $265+tax with OEM Honda pad and rotors. Case by case. Sometimes they billed good price and are honest (especially old lady, not young guy), but not always. Before start always ask total price to avoid over priced bill.

Fantastic! First time customer. I brought my Jaguar Ftype R for an oil and filter change. It…read morewas so comforting to know I had a master mechanic (James) working on my car. I saved hundreds by not going to the dealership and who knows what mechanic I would have had there. I found this place because I have an aftermarket warranty and I took the time to read the fine print stating that I needed to get services done from an ASE certified mechanic. I am sure if I didn't read that and I needed to fix a problem, it would have been the excuse of the warranty company to deny any claims. I thought most repair places were ASE certified. After talking to several on the phone, I found out that was not the case. I did a quick google search and Lakeview automotive came up as one of the only service/repair places around with that designated certification and a blue label certification at that. I am not exactly sure what that means but I know for me, it was peace of mind. Knowing that the shop and mechanics have gone thru extensive training, have all the tools/devices they need, and continue to get training in all aspects of their business. This professionalism was demonstrated early on when I first called and spoke to Karen, asking all my questions. I also spoke to the shop manager Phill who took the time to put me at ease about bringing my car in vs going to the dealership. When I arrived for my appt, Karen greeted me with a warm hello and Phill came out to introduce himself. I was taken back to the service bay to look underneath my vehicle and met mechanic James who was also very nice and accommodating. I knew my car was in good hands with someone who actually cared about the work they performed, even if it was just an oil change. I would have said a "simple" oil change, but that's not the case w a Jaguar, it's a lot more involved. When the service was done, I received an email with a thorough inspection report with pictures and items that were completed and items that would need future attention. Not once did I feel any type of upsell. It is comforting to know that I am not going to be told something isn't true or need a service that I don't. Bravo, you guys are A++++ in my book and will get all my future car needs. Thank you Lakeview Automotive and all the staff working there. Keep up the good work. If you are looking for a place for your vehicle, you will be doing yourself a disservice by not contacting this business. Give them a chance, I think you will be impressed.

You would think that when you take you vehicle to a repair shop with great online reviews that you…read morewould get your vehicle back with all repairs completed and everything working properly. But, when I took my dodge dakota to Buddy's automotive for a wheel bearing replacement, power steering repair, and brake pad replacement. When I got my truck back and the front left break caliper was broken (which left me on the side of the road) and two connectors and a hose was missing from my washer fluid reservoir. Buddy's wants to charge me an additional fee to have the caliper repaired and I sure hope that I can go back to get my washer parts. If you want a job completed do not go to Buddy's Automotive in Pendleton SC. You may end up like me and have to fix it yourself on a weekend that you could otherwise be spending doing better things. because you cannot afford the labor cost at another shop to fix Buddy's mistakes!

I do not know the area, I did not have time to shop around. I had my car dropped there with pure faith. Faith it would be a quick repair, not having any idea of what was wrong. Josh was upfront, he had customers ahead of me but would get to it. This was a Thursday. He called Monday, explained the issue and what was needed. He called Tuesday evening with the good news. I picked up my car Wednesday. Honest, expeditious and just a great person. If I am in that area and have a need, I will be returning to Josh.
