We use them for everything from state…read moreinspections to checking out weird noises to the time one of us got carjacked but eventually got the vehicle back (true story). They're not perfect. When my adult daughter takes her car in, they still call her dad with updates instead of her, but we can get that fixed. We appreciate the ability to drop a car off and leave the keys in the safe drop box. They're also realistic about when they will be able to work on a car, and what kinds of work they do. I still prefer my husband to handle all things car-related (Empowered AND old school?) But I know that when I need to, I can talk to the JC folks and they'll treat me fairly. I don't need to worry about being discriminated against because I'm a woman or ignorant about cars (even though I am both.) I read the review by Suzy G a few months ago. I'm was shocked that JC totally screwed up and caused such distress and expense for her. Yet, I respect that they owned up to their mistake publicly. That speaks volumes. How many companies are willing to take ownership of their problems, not just praise?

The guys at Affordable Automotive were incredibly thorough, honest and, well, affordable! My…read moretimeline was pretty flexible - which was good because my car had two different problems. One ended up just being sensors having gone out - fixed! The other problem had to do with my door locks not functioning. They spent many hours trying to troubleshoot the problem, and learned a LOT about my car's crazy door locks. In the end, the answer Bud came up with he was 85% sure about - so he suggested we wait until the problem grew more pronounced. He didn't want me to spend the money unless he was 100% sure it would fix the problem! How often does a mechanic tell you "I could fix this, but I don't want to yet - it's not a safety issue, so come back when the problem is more pronounced." The previous two shops I'd taken this problem to didn't spend anywhere near the time diagnosing the problem - but they were quite happy to suggest I spend $900+ on a fix. (BTW, when I do finally take this problem in - it'll be closer to $600 to fix.) The long and the short of it is - I found my St Charles mechanic and I couldn't be happier.

My father in law has taken his vehicle to Fred's in Wentzville regularly for quite a while. When I…read morebought it from him, I continued to take it to Wentzville and was always very happy with the svc I received. When I figured out they had a st charles location I was happy because it was closer to home. The car was overheating so I took it to them. The said they ran a pressure test, it was my head gasket(s), and would cost me $6000.00 to fix. I then took it to another mechanic who ran a pressure test that clearly showed it was just a water pump and it cost me under $500. So they either never ran a pressure test, and just made something up, or they have no idea what they are doing! Either way, I will NEVER give them another dime of my money.

This automotive service station is by far as good as it gets in St. Louis…read more Typically when I go to a dealer or a professional automotive repair specialist/mechanic the quality of maintenance isn't what I'm particular of. I'm typically particular about Honesty and Integrity because I completely despise inflated prices and purposeful misdiagnoses. When it comes to auto repair, there is nothing more despicable than a mechanic that gets over on it's customer for unnecessary repairs and more money going down the drain. Rich who I believe owns Budde Brothers has got my car running well when I needed it. Every time I take my car in to places like Car X, Firestone, or even another small business owner like Olympia Auto in St. Peters, I get inflated prices and unnecessary prescribed auto symptoms. Instead, Richard who's always kind and friendly, told me the truth about what my car really needed, and because of this, I ended up paying a whopping $510 less for Xmas. Well Merry X-mas Richard and company, because you are my families go to guy's. The other auto centers should've got some coal as far as I'm concerned. Just because of the money I saved and honesty he gave, I asked if he takes tips. He told me to put my money away because he wouldn't accept it. Once around the summer I noticed my seat belt not working. I took it into the dealer and they told me it would cost me $100 just for them to take a look at it. Later on that day, I called Rich, and he told me to bring it on in right away. He told me to wait one minute, took some DW-40, and fixed my seat belt completely by releasing the gook out of it. He charged me $10 instead of the easy $200 I would've probably paid at the dealer. Sometimes, he let's me bring in my own parts just to save money! I could go on and on, but I believe I've done enough justice. Please, I beg you, go to this place for your car service. If you're not, then I wouldn't be surprised you're draining your money down the exhaust pipe.
