Dan is the best. His honesty and care for my service make me feel so comfortable. Car troubles are the worst, so I am extremely grateful to have a repair place I trust and can happily recommend to others! read more

Have always had a great experience here! They are very friendly and honest. I never felt overcharged here like I have at other shops.

The most honest and helpful people I know. For over 20 years I've been taking my cars to Busseys and always done right!

I've been taking my cars to Bussey's Automotive for 30 years. Honest, smart, and talented. Dan and Omar are the Best. I highly recommend!

Customer since 2004 NO MORE ! This place has changed a lot. They are just like everywhere now. They only want to work on NEW Vehicles with no real problems. They have some kind of major contract with Marine Corps Base Vehicles so good luck getting in a timely manner. read more

I have been driving past Bussey's for over fifty years and finally needed help with my vehicle. For over a year, a problem has become more of an annoyance and no garage could or would solve my issue. After only half an hour of diagnostics, Dan offered a simple and very inexpensive solution. My growing aggravation was dealt with that easily by going to the right mechanic. Highly recommeded. read more

Such a pleasure to deal with an honest mechanic! Dan knows what he's doing and gets the job done; no extra BS about made up problems or mechanical issues; a rare thing to find these days. I highly recommend him for any make or model of car or truck! read more

Dan took care of our immediate problem, then checked out our "new" '97 Mercury Tracer for overall condition, and referred us to a local and individually owned tire shop for our next needs. Great service at a more than fair price! So thankful we heard about Dan at Bussey's! read more

I have used this business for years. I find them honest and reasonably priced. They may not be the cheapest, but I trust them to do only the work required. I had a major repair that would have cost twice as much at the Dealer. They fixed only what was broken. I heartily recommend them. read more

I went here a few days ago because I had multiple lights on in my Acura. The owner was so honest! He checked the fluids and ran a diagnostics test. He told me just go get an oil change and if the light still comes on give me a call....and you know what? He didn't charge me a thing and the oil change fixed everything! If you've ever panicked because of check engine lights in your car then you understand how relieved I was. Thank you so much for being so honest and helpful! I will be sure to bring my car to you again in the future :) read more

Excellent customer service. Same day service for window repair and oil change. Long time customer remaining loyal since 2006.

Bussey's was referred to me by Oceanside Transmission and I'll be bringing my car back to them for any future issues. Dan and his staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Repairs were done in a timely manner and pricing was more than reasonable. read more

This business came highly regarded so I expected quality service. I asked for a check over for a long road trip in the summer. I mentioned that there was a whirring sound in the engine. They "listened" for the whirring, yet did not put it on a diagnostic machine. They could not "hear" a problem. A small oil leak had been previously noted which I thought was a valve cover leak. I asked them to confirm, but they did not. Upon checking paperwork I discovered the oil leak was not a valve cover problem. It appears that they checked brake, windshield washer, and power steering fluids which they noted were low. The car (2002) has original rubber hoses and surprisingly there was no mention of any needing replacement. I also asked for an estimate on the air conditioning system since it was having problems. They quoted parts and labor for blend door and mode door actuator including parts and labor for $1445. I got that job done elsewhere for $700 and am very happy with that service. Essentially, I paid $52.50 to be told I needed fluids topped off and windshield wiper blades to be safe for a cross country road trip. I paid $105 for A/C estimate. AND Dan told me I should shop for a new car, that this one was going to be needing a lot of expensive work in the future! Sorry Dan, I was hoping you would want take care of my car, but I think not. read more

I just picked up my car after damaging the bumper. The car wasn't even a year old. I am amazed at the work done by these guys. It looks like new. I can't encourage anyone more. If you want to get done right, go to Busseys. Thank you! read more

I can't believe I've never reviewed Bussey's before. I've used their services for 20+ years and never once been disappointed in any way. Dan Phillips knows his stuff, hires quality people, and has integrity. Most of the time, auto repairs aren't something we look forward to, but it's good to know a place where the experience is pleasant and relatively painless. read more

My family have been taking our vehicles to Bussey's for 3 generations. In all that time we've never once had an issue. The staff is friendly, honest and they do impeccable work. This is the mechanic I recommend to all my friends and I wouldn't trust my car to anyone else. If you're looking for a professional, fair and trustworthy mechanic, this is the place. read more

If you are looking for a shop that offers honesty, integrity and knows their business, this is your place. Dan is a top notch guy with a knowledgeable staff. read more

Been using Bussey's for years. I trust Dan. He is fairly priced, knows his stuff and does excellent work.

Six years ago, a coworker recommended Bussey's Auto Service after another frustrating and expensive experience with a auto shop. My husband always schedules regular auto maintenance for our cars. We never wait until the cars developed problems. We are proactive with our cars. Still, we frequently found auto shops insisting parts needed to be replaced even though we hadn't noticed a problem. Dan (Bussey's owner) has never tried to pull a "fast one" on us. If we go in for an oil change, then that's all his does. He doesn't insist on doing extra work. I highly recommend Bussey's. read more

This review is way over due but I can't tell you enough how great this establishment is. They did a wonderful job, they did extra for no charge, and they were inexpensive. This business has been around for decades and this is the reason why. read more

I would highly recommend this place. They are super honest with you and will give you their honest opinion about what repairs needs to be made or not made. I came into this location thinking I needed brakes and come to find out I don't need anything. My cars brakes were just squeaking a little maybe due to the lubrication waring down. They showed me and explained it to me. I give this place a 10!!! read more

I honestly love this shop and everyone who works there. The staff is always super helpful and very friendly. They are honest and fair which can be super hard to find - I always appreciate everything they do !! read more

Dan Phillips and his crew are true professionals. I am very particular about my vehicles. I have them do all of my automotive work, autobody, service and repair. I highly recommend Bussey's read more

I took my ancient vehicle in for new brakes. After they checked out my vehicle I was told that it had a major engine problem. I expected to be told that the work needed to be done and given a huge estimate. Instead, I was told the repairs would be more than the value of the vehicle and given the option of a "temporary fix" so I could get the vehicle to a salvage yard or whatever. They could have done the brake job, then told me about the engine problem but Bussey's was honest enough to give me the bad news without ripping me off. I have a new car and will be taking it to Bussey's for its needs and have recommended them to all my friends and family. read more

I was really lucky to be referred to this place upon emergency after my car overheated. Didn't feel uneasy or like I was getting ripped off at all which has happened to me with so many mechanics since I know nothing about cars. Very reasonable price and real hard working people. Dan is a honest and nice guy who really cares about his customers. Will take my car back here anytime I need to. read more

Bussey's Automotive is a real find, and I'm sure glad I found them 20 years ago. I've always gotten the best price, fantastic service and honest assessment of my alternatives. If something doesn't need to be done, they say so. They give a full range of solutions from the low to the high end. Especially if you are a woman with little mechanical knowledge. You can trust Bussey's to do the right thing! I have referred many of my friends and family, and will continue to do so. And why not... it is like preaching the gospel! read more
