Joe is a great mechanic and good guy! He's helped me out a ton over the years. First he got donated parts and donated the labor to fix up my first car after my accident. Then after I had my suspension redone by him and it felt as if my frame was welded together. He re-did the work on my suspension and had the new OEM shocks I brought him installed at no additional cost and even refunded me the cost of the original shit chinse shocks he installed trying to save me money. Overall highly recommend, affordable rates and great guy who works with you! (Side note: The front desk people are also very friendly and understanding.) read more

Joe has been working on my rigs for years. If it's broke, he can fix it. This man is, hands down, the most honest and skilled mechanic I've ever used. Fair, honest, knowledgeable, with absolute integrity. If he can't fix it, he tells you. If he can fix it, he does. He knows his stuff on both diesels and gasoline engines. Hands down, Joe at Bulldog Automotive is the very best. --D. L. Keur, Sandpoint, ID read more

These other people leaving bad reviews for Bulldog are absolutely not necessary. Joe is one of the nicest guys I have ever met who is willing to bend over backwards to help people out! I have had Joe do work and I have known others that have had him do work. Is he perfect? No, but who is? But, if he does something wrong he will go out of his way to make it right! He's helped the community, he helps people stay on the road in a pinch and provides a VERY HIGH value as he does not over charge. Frankly, I don't think he charges enough and that is why his shop isn't as pretty as every one else's. He puts his money into just keeping things working, keeping the business alive and keeping his customers happy! Bulldog is well balanced! You want quality work, well, it might be more expensive, but if that is what you want, tell him, he'll spend the time on it. You just want it to work for as cheap as possible, well, he'll do what he can and let you know what he can and can't do. Awesome shop, awesome dude! And a blessing to the community! read more

Took my truck in to Bulldog for work, as they were highly recommended. Got it back, noticed steering worse, more shaking. Was advised hubs worn, so figured that was problem. When i took it tyo a shop a couple months later to do hubs, they discovered spacer was left out causing entire hub to move back and forth on shaft. Turned a simple repair into over $3500. Refused to accept any responsibility. read more

A worker is revving a truck up, backfiring at least 20 times at 5:50 a.m. Absolutely unacceptable and I will be taking further action since this is illegal. Noise ordinance is til 6:30 a.m. , not 5:50 a.m. I will be contacting the police with the video I took of him doing it. I got the man, vehicle and business all on video. Incredibly unprofessional and I will turn as many people away from doing business with them as possible. They recently re-graveled the parking lot and pushed half the gravel onto the sidewalk and just left it. Place is unprofessional and half way finishes a job, couldn't even finish their own parking lot, they will put that same energy into working on your car. read more
