We're from Seattle towing a travel trailer from Mt. Rushmore to Yellowstone. Needless to say, both far from home and our comfort zone. Our check engine came on just before Buffalo WY and then started flashing, non stop. We found Bud's Auto Repair on Google and headed straight there. Ken & his team were awesome! Even though they had a shop full of cars to work on, Ken had a tech look at our tow vehicle within a half hour. Literally 20 minutes later, they had diagnosed our problem, made the necessary repairs and had us headed back on the road! To be honest, I was desperate, I would have paid just about anything to be back on our vacation. Ken could have taken advantage and up charged for the repair. HE DID NOT. The price we paid was extremely fair. Thank you Ken & Bud's Auto Repair for taking such great care of us!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Been bringing all our family vehicles here since we moved to the area in 2017. They are amazing, never try to sell you anything you don t need and can trust when they make a recommendation. I don t know if there s a cheaper mechanic in Gillette all I know is I ve never brought a vehicle back for the same issue. They just fix it right the first time.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Bud and Ken are always efficient, pleasant to work with, prompt, inform you of all issues (including repairs you may not be aware of) and provide you with information to make the best decisions for you. I feel comfortable sending my wife and children to work with them. I highly recommend working with them on your vehicle.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Auto maintenanceServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Auto maintenance

Bud and his crew have worked on multiple of my vehicles, multiples times. I come back because they are honest, their rates are fare, and they do a great job.

They deserve the awesome ratings they get. If you have car trouble in NE Wyoming, these are the people to take it to! Honest. Fast. Great value. You feel they know what customer service really means by the way they treat you. I'm impressed particularly because they worked me in on short notice (don't normally do that (rude) but a family vacation was days away) even though they were extremely busy already. I've only lived in the area a short while but I already know where I'll go first if I have any car troubles in the future!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes

I'm working in Gillette and had a serious issue with my truck. Everywhere I checked I wouldn't be able to even look at it for at least a week. A contractor I work with recommended Bud's Auto Repair. I went in and he said to leave it and maybe they'd be able to look at it that day. I got a call approximately 5 hrs later and it was done. Professional & courteous!!!!! Very fair pricing. I would highly recommend them!

THANK YOU KEN AND SONNY!!! My daughter was driving across the country and wound up needing a new alternator and belt when she was passing through Gillette. The shop was super busy but Ken and Sonny were able to get the parts and do the repair so she could get back on the road. She felt totally comfortable working with them and is so grateful they were there to help. Thank you, thank you for taking such good care of your customers.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Our rental car started acting up because of a cold snap on our cross country road trip. Bud s was able to see us immediately and get us up and running in no time and at a great price.They were incredibly friendly and walked us through everything so we understood what the problem was.I would definitely recommend Bud s for both out of towners and locals!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Excellent service. My jeep started having issues on our way out to the tetons. AAA recommended Bud's and they could not have directed me to a better place. Made repairs at a much lower than expected cost and in a timely manner.

While on a road trip from Tucson, Arizona back home to Northern Minnesota we ran into some car trouble late afternoon while in Gillette, Wyoming. We were traveling with two toddlers and an infant so I'm sure you can imagine how anxious we were to get on the road again. Bud's waa able to get us in first thing the next morning and quickly find the problem and get it repaired without costing an arm and a leg. Very thankful for their prompt services!

Alway's the #1 place to take your vehicle for repair. Fair pricing, Bud can price quote you a round about figure for repair and if at any time he thinks it will be more he will call you first so there are no surprise's. I have also taken my vehicle in and had the quoted price me less. Never ever had a problem with my vehicle's either after being repaired. Nice to know there still is a reliable, friendly and honest shop in town.

We have been to Bud's many times for truck repairs. We found them to be very honest and trustworthy. Prices are reasonable for work done and they won't "fix" something that doesn't need it. If they can't fix it, they will tell you as much. Highly recommended.

We lost the timing chain (and the engine) on our truck while towing through Gillette. We had the truck towed to Buds' based on reviews and that they said they could get to it first thing Monday morning.While we were disappointed by the diagnosis, it was partly mitigated by the fact that we could tell the shop we'd chosen was the best place we could have possibly gone to. Bud is the kind of opinionated owner/mechanic I like: they won't do things the cheap way; they do it right, or you can go someplace else.They found/fixed a number of other things caused by shoddy work done by previous mechanics while they replaced the motor, and had us on the road by the following Friday, despite having some unexpected delays due to a broken motor mount they found at the last moment.Their prices were quite reasonable, their work was top notch, and I have great confidence in the result.On a side note, we had at least 2 unsolicited, "Oh, you went to Bud's? Good choice." comments made during the week by locals.

Buds got the most difficult Fiat based Jeep running for us. He willingly changed a starter on a 2016 Cherokee (look it up, probably the WORST part to change in this car) and only charged us a few man hours when it clearly took them 10 hours to do the job. They got us in right away and had the car fixed in a day.

Called about question on transmission problems for my truck that I needed done right away, they were honest and said they did not have the time or equipment to work on it, referred me to Nannemann Brothers. These guys are very helpful and would absolutely recommend.

My husband and I came to keyhole, from Casper, for our anniversary and broke down in Wright. We limped it to pine haven. We called around for a mechanic and Buds Auto Repair was the only place we found that said bring it on in, everyone else said two weeks. Buds had us diagnosed and back on the road by 5 the same day. Our truck is running great, pulling our camper and boat around we finally made it to our vacation. Thank you to everyone at Buds.
