Buddy's Auto Inc.

My son is a student at Clemson and his 2008 Accord's electrical system was acting up. Being out of town, it's challenging to find a good auto shop. Another shop actually recommended Buddy's and described them as honest. They replaced the Accord's alternator at a fair price and in a timely manner and had him back on the road quickly. Buddy's reputation for honestly and fairness is well-deserved. Would recommend.

My daughter is a student at Clemson and she was in the Pendleton area and her Jeep started smoking. I googled and found Buddy’s and she was about two miles away and made it to his shop on a Thursday afternoon around 4:00. He ordered a new radiator and on Friday Hurricane Helene hit. My daughter really wanted her Jeep back and I told her on Monday it would be later on in the week if we are lucky. They texted my daughter that day that her Jeep was ready. They were able to repair everything with no power at their shop. You can rarely find service like this. I know things lined up and fell in place. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Buddy’s is the best! I am generally anxious about getting work done on my car because I am not knowledgeable about cars. Buddy’s took care of my brake job for a reasonable price and did so quickly. I can’t thank them enough! I now have a mechanic I can trust.

A wonderful place with good, honest, knowledgeable people. Integrity and sincerity go a long way. Our working and Clemson student daughter has had her old, sad vehicle to Buddy’s several times. They are quick, dependable, very reasonably priced and have always been there to take care of her. Recently, that sad car died on the highway (like really died) and the next morn was towed to Buddy’s. They quickly evaluated the problems, and as the car was no longer able to be put back together, they sold her a good dependable car that we had been looking at for a good price. Our experience there was the best we Could have under the circumstances. From the shop to the front office to the management, loan paperwork, etc.., everywhere we had to do business, the experience was quick, professional, friendly and easy. Our daughter was able to get to work an hour away from home the next morning, missing only one day of work at a new job. A whirlwind day and a half long crisis and Buddy’s made it bearable. Highly recommend these folks. They are just good people.

I bought my Lexus from Buddy 2 years ago it had 250,000 miles on it and never had any trouble with it in two years and the cars almost 20 years old. And just recently the brakes went out he has it fixed with in 2 days and at half the price of any other service department. I highly recommend this Christian family man for any repair needs and they also sell awesome used cars that are in excellent condition. Thank you Buddy!!!

Was recommended to go to Buddys due to a great concern on my truck. Buddys gave me a call telling me what was wrong and I decided not to go through with the work due to the steep price for what would be a simple spark plug and ignition coil replacement. All Buddy’s did was run a diagnostic test and the total still came out to be $120. I get that money is needed to be made, but I could have gone to auto zone to have this done for free. If you want people who truly want to help you, this may not be the place for you.

Front desk people very nice and respectful. Had a problem with my car, Bud reached out to me personally and constantly worked with me until he figured out what was going on, fixed it. Very personable staff I apreciare what they done. Was recommended by a mechanic that passed, will be my suggested place moving forward.
