I've lived in many states and so far I've never found a better auto repair shop than Buss Automotive. They're great mechanics, they have competitive prices, and they never try to sell you something you don't need. If you tend to keep vehicles until they die, it's particularly important to have a mechanic you can trust. Buss has told me NOT to bother fixing a few things when they plainly could have gotten a thousand dollars by saying the repair was critical. They're very military-friendly--actually, they're just friendly, period. Recently I had my car in the shop and was suddenly called out of town for six weeks. They stored my car for a very reasonable fee, which I appreciated. Highly recommended.

Buss is the first and only auto shop that I have found to be totally trustworthy and caring. I am a 75 year old woman who has lived in Boise for 17 years. I am so Thankful to have found them and to have their help when needed!!!

We have been taking our cars to Buss for years. They always do fantastic work and never over charge. It always amazes me how quickly they diagnose the issue and repair the problem and they do it at a very fair cost. Much less that what the dealerships charge. I have been recommending Buss Automotive for years and will continue to do so. It is awesome when you have a mechanic that you can trust.

Joe Buss has been my entire family’s mechanic for years. I almost don’t like to share this secret because he truly is the best in the valley! That said I am just not a gatekeeper of great service. I couldn’t be happier with the care he has taken of our family. Car troubles don’t feel like a burden knowing I can always trust our incredible mechanic.

Fantastic experience! Was looking for a new mechanic; car was having issues and called them in the morning. They had car towed and was able to diagnose and fix the same day - luckily not a big issue. Felt the prices were very fair, even had a military discount. Staff was friendly, took time to explain and felt they really cared. A few weeks after started to have problems, took in and again same day looked and fixed. Also didn't charge for minor things - unexpected. We found our new mechanic! Highly recommended

Buss is the ONLY place Ill take my cars in the valley!!! I moved out of Boise and will still drive back to go to Buss!! Jo is the only honest mechanic Ive met. If youve been told something expensive , go to Buss for a second opinion. 9 times out of 10 they will save you time and money. Quality, fair, and honest work is what you can expect here .

Are you looking for a mechanic who fixes the problem without adding thousands to your quote? Someone who charges for the work they do at a fair price? Someone who stands behind their work and will fix any issues that arise? Then look no further than Buss. Joe is honest, easy to interact with, and will give you direct feedback on what he thinks is wrong with your car and how much it will cost to fix. My go to for all my used cars.

Buss automotive is the most honest, hard working mechanic I have ever been to. They truly care about their customers, deliver the best prices throughout the valley, and are time efficient. I only ever use Buss

In the past, I would take my car to the dealer I purchased it from, and they would overcharge for diagnosis only, resulting in NOT getting my car fixed as needed. I took my car to BUSS and got charged a fair price for the time worked and part only. I was THRILLED to find out I was going to pay $160.99, instead of $3000. I HIGHLY recommend!

A good mechanic is one of those things that once you find, you are so very grateful for. I have gone here for over a decade after getting their recommendation from someone I trust and respect greatly. Buss automotive is honest - which is THE most important quality in a mechanic (besides proficiency and they are excellent there as well). They are also a local small business and I enjoy giving them my business. I wouldn't think of going somewhere else, and I have lived all around Boise. Joe (the owner) is trustworthy, friendly and professional. His staff is great too. I recommend Buss to anyone who asks for a mechanic in this area and I have for many years.

Car repairs are never fun and finding a good repair shop you can trust can be difficult. These guys are straight forward and honest. Fixed my car ahead of schedule and at a fair price. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys!

Joe The owner is great. He's down to earth and doesn't take advantage of you. If you live or work by Gowen Field, check Joe's place out. BUSS Automotive is where it's at! He also offers a military discount, which you don't see as much.

Responsive communications and very reasonable labor/parts charges. However, power steering return line was cut to replace steering box, spliced with rubber tubing that split because the cut was not deburred. Took out pump, and Joe refused to "take the blame" and told me to take my truck somewhere else, then hung up on me. Ridiculous for an ASE mechanic, shoddy workmanship.

I have now had 4 top notch experiences with Buss Automotive, 2 personally and 2 referrals I have given. They are absolutely the best as far as total honesty, integrity, and quality work! I will bring all of my vehicle repairs to them for as long as I live here and I recommend you do too!!

Excellent service from trusted and skilled mechanics! The owner, Joe, was friendly and approachable, and how awesome to find a shop that provides excellent service without the dealership gouge! Additionally, Mandy, the office manager is kind and lovely. So happy to share my experience with Buss!

These guys are awesome! 🙌. Hit a rock in my way back from the prison in my Canyon County Sheriff's Office Van and it flattened the back left tire. I managed to make it to Buss Automotive and their mechanics came out and asked if I needed help with the tire and I said yes please! They changed the tire for me and got me back on the road at no charge!😎. Once again, thank you for your help 🙌. You guys are awesome 💯😎
