I can’t say enough good things about Justin Erick and Steve at Bucky’s Auto Mechanic Shop. From start to finish, they were super professional, honest, and extremely thorough. They diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed my car right up with no problems whatsoever. The level of care and attention they put into their work really shows — they didn’t cut corners and made sure everything was done right. Amazing service and top-tier workmanship. I genuinely felt taken care of and confident driving my car again. If you’re looking for a shop you can trust, this is the place. Huge thanks to Justin, Erick, and Steve for an outstanding job!

These guys are great! I live in Lynnwood but was in Tacoma running errands with my wife when my Jeep broke down. I prefer to fix my vehicles myself and have never actually sent one to a shop. Unfortunately my work schedule at the time was so hectic that it would've taken over a week to fix it myself. I called Bucky's just before closing from the side of the road to see if I could have it towed there. Jeremiah was very friendly and helpful. He told me they'd have it diagnosed the next morning. Sure enough I got a call the next morning with a diagnosis, a price for the repairs and he said it would be done by the end of the day. They even did a full inspection of the vehicle while being short handed. When the work was finished I asked if I could pick it after closing and that wasn't a problem either! He sent me a link to pay for the services and my Jeep was waiting for me when I got there. What an amazing experience! Not only was this my first time using a shop, but I never actually saw them face to face. Jeremiah was great! He never tried to sell me anything and his professionalism really put me at ease with whole situation. I still prefer to do my own repairs, but if I ever decide to use a shop again, it'll be Bucky's on 48th.

Dropped my car off at 9 am to have a axle seal leak diagnosed. within 2 hours they told me exactly what it was, and price, and by 3:30 same day I was driving it home, all of this with no appointment needed. Gave a me a sweet first time customer discount too. I will be a repeat customer for sure.

Last week my mom’s Jeep started having issues, she took her jeep to this location and paid for diagnostics. They informed her she needed a thermostat, radiator cap ans well as an oil change. She paid for service and they sent her on her way. Well here we are a week later and her gaskets have blown due to over heating that they never diagnosed let alone even checked which should have been done with the issues the mechanics found. They now refuse to accept accountability and refused to provide my mother with their corporate locations phone number. This refusal was done by Jeremiah, who when I called without even explaining to him my concerns or relationship to his previous customer aka my mother he provided it willingly and promptly without pushback! This is shady and unethical behavior! Blown head gaskets are not a cheap or easy repair but had they been properly inspected during the original diagnosing that was paid for this could’ve been avoided, or prepared for prior to it getting worse! Accountability needs to be had period!

I stopped by right after opening, and they took a look at my brakes. Turns out a rock had gotten lodged in there, causing the noise, and they also fixed a metal spring I had installed incorrectly. They didn’t charge me a dime—just told me to come back when I’ve got real work for them. It’s refreshing to find a shop that’s honest and not out to invent problems just to make a buck. Will definitely be back when I have real work for them.

I had my car towed to Bucky's on a Friday late night, and we dropped off the key on Saturday AM. The car spent the better part of a week getting looked at by the different mechanics - the problem was an unusual crank/no start condition. They worked together to figure it out and I am thankful they got us going again!

I brought in a van that i just purchased that seemed to have a coolant leak. Andrew was working up front and offered to have a look and perform a pressure test if he couldn't find anything. I told him i had to drive it to wyoming asap. He told one of the mechanics working to perform an inspection on the whole vehicle. No leaks came back from the test and they had it lifted to inspect before i knew it, and it had a few things to show me that needed attention sooner than later.I made the trip with no problems, and am currently ordering parts to fix these issues with a couple friends. Thanks again you guys! I recommend this shop to anyone who needs work done on their vehicle. ...they offer military discount too!

Bucky's has always been known as a place you have to drop your car off and wait for it to get done. Come with a plan to have some one drive you home if you're local and to come back in a couple to few hours. I asked Reddit Tacoma about the wait times for just an oil change and I got nothing but hate towards the old Bucky's. Ha. I can't speak to your other services you all got. This is probably the fastest turn around of an oil change from any of their locations I've had. It only took a couple of hours and the cashier and I had a good laugh at what Reddit users had to say.

all Bucky’s does is overcharge customers who think they don’t know what they’re talking about.. $1500 to put a rack and pinion in my Scion which i provided. i just paid $1500 to get a new suspension, oil change, struts, and an alignment for $1500 on my other vehicle which is a truck. if y’all want a good mechanic i know somebody and he’s loyal and honest with very fair prices!! takes pictures of before and after and sends them to you and will explain exactly what he did. don’t waste your time and money at any of these Bucky’s

Going to this Bucky's was a breath of fresh air. Jeremiah, Stephen Eric are all cheerful, efficient, polite and very quick at doing their jobs. This was a total win-win situation! As long as the staff doesn't change, I'm a loyal customer.

I have never had a bad experience here. Brought 4 different vehicles here since 2006. Pricing is transparent a fair. Never been gouged or sold something unnecessary. Communication is top notch and they are very fast (at least once they can actually get to your ride, they do a lot of business so sometimes it can take a bit). Highly recommend. Parking is a bit tight however. They do charge a higher labor rate if you supply the parts but that is clearly posted right up front.

I called to schedule for a Saturday appointment which Jeremiah informed me was him making an exception because the shop is extremely busy on that day. I needed an inspection and quote for rear brakes and rotors amongst a couple of other recommended items I received from the dealership. Jeremiah made it easy for me to make a decision to have his shop work on my vehicle. Great customer service, beat the dealership prices and I was back on the road within 3 and a half hours, not only rear brakes and rotors but also front brake pads, rotors, air filter, cabin filter, and brake fluid flush. Thanks again for making the exception scheduling my appointment I was able to get everything I sought out to get done and remained within budget. Be advised, it's impairative to schedule an appointment ahead of time. This is a busy location.

I went in because my car would randomly not turn on and my engine started smoking when it was getting to hot and I didn't know what was going on. I took it here based on the reviews and they checked the car out. Turned out I had a crack in my radiator and they gave me a quote. When I went in to pick up the car I was greeted by the manager Jeremiah and when he pulled up the information he even offered to lower the quote saying he can work with me since I was struggling with finances. Ultimately I decided to sell the car but I would be back because they were super honest.
