We also perform major and minor engine repairs, transmission services, electrical system troubleshooting, and exhaust system repairs. Whether you drive a domestic or import vehicle, we have the tools and expertise to restore performance and safety.

What sets us apart is our commitment to transparency. Before any work begins, we provide a clear estimate and walk you through the recommended repairs.

Visit our Rainier Ave shop for honest diagnostics and reliable auto repair in Seattle.

Your brakes are the most important safety feature on your vehicle. Worn pads, warped rotors, or failing calipers can dramatically increase stopping distances and put you and your family at risk. At Budd & Company Automotive, we provide complete brake inspection and repair services for all makes and models in Seattle.

Our brake service includes thorough pad and lining replacements, rotor resurfacing or replacement, caliper inspection and replacement, brake fluid flush, and anti-lock brake system diagnostics. We use an on-the-car brake lathe to ensure perfect rotor runout and prevent future pulsation issues. Signs you need brake service include squealing or grinding noises, a spongy brake pedal, vibration when braking, or the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

We recommend a brake inspection at least once a year or every 12,000 miles. Our technicians will measure pad thickness, check rotor condition, inspect brake lines for leaks, and test the master cylinder. All brake repairs come with a warranty on parts and labor. For reliable, thorough brake service in Seattle, trust the experts at Budd & Company Automotive.

Seattle summers can be unforgiving, and a broken air conditioner makes driving uncomfortable and even dangerous. At Budd & Company Automotive, we offer complete A/C system testing, repair, and recharging to keep you cool no matter how hot it gets outside. Our ASE certified technicians specialize in both R134a and R1234yf systems.

Common A/C problems include weak airflow, warm air from vents, strange odors, unusual noises when the A/C is on, and refrigerant leaks. We start every A/C service with a full system performance test and a visual inspection of all components—compressor, condenser, evaporator, hoses, and fittings. Using electronic leak detection and UV dye, we pinpoint the exact source of refrigerant loss. We then perform necessary repairs, evacuate moisture and contaminants, and recharge the system to manufacturer specifications.

We also offer preventive maintenance like A/C system sanitization to eliminate mold and bacteria. Do not sweat through another commute. Schedule your A/C inspection or repair at our Rainier Ave shop and enjoy cool, comfortable driving all season long.

Proper wheel alignment is essential for tire longevity, fuel efficiency, and safe handling. At Budd & Company Automotive in Seattle, we provide precision wheel alignment and complete suspension repair services. Our technicians use state-of-the-art alignment equipment to adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to your vehicle's exact factory specifications.

Signs your car needs an alignment include uneven or rapid tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or vibration in the steering wheel. Driving on Seattle roads with potholes and curbs can knock your alignment out of spec quickly. Beyond alignment, we also repair worn shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, and sway bar links. A healthy suspension keeps your tires planted on the road, improves braking stability, and provides a smoother ride.

Combine an alignment with a tire rotation to maximize tread life. We also offer wheel balancing to eliminate vibration. For expert suspension and alignment care, come to Budd & Company Automotive—where precision meets safety.
