This service started off well. Timely, responsive and friendly. After service was done, warning light of "oil overfill" popped on. I called them and they said to bring back. I also pulled over to check and not only was it markedly overfilled, they had also left a rag on top of the engine. I told staff I had concerns and Manager came out and was very dismissive and gave excuse that it took 13.2 quarts so was hard to measure. Dismissed the rag being left. My concern: if you are sloppy enough not to add oil in increments to ensure accuracy and forget a rag - how does that equate to competent service. This was an oil change - what would happen if this was a complicated job? Shortcuts? Excuses? Finally, the time it takes to bring it back, cancel meeting that was scheduled etc. Not a good experience to say the least. Update this afternoon - I received outreach from the business management and he did an excellent job of service recovery. Mistakes happen and he did right by acknowledging my concern and discussing the situation. I am impressed by how this was handled.

I have 8 personal and business vehicles. Dowdy's has worked on all of them at some time or another. Brittnee is very proficient at fitting my vehicle in to be repaired and keeping me informed on how things are going or if something else is found. All around great repair business

The guys there are awesome. Super friendly, super helpful. I felt that they truly cared about taking care of my car. I’ve truly never had a better experience when it comes to mechanics. I was blown away at how quickly the repairs got done. My car is running better than ever. I feel safe in it again. Brandon, you are doing a fantastic job over there man. And shoutouts to Chris! Can’t tell you guys how grateful I am for you. Amazing work!

We brought our 2005 Mini Cooper in after receiving a oxygen sensor error. Problem was quickly fixed along with a few other issues we were having. Friendly, honest, low-pressure service. We'll be back!

New in Boise, and my power steering went completely out. Dowdy’s did a great job finding the problem, replacing parts, and getting me back on the road. Nice that their price didn’t change from their initial assessment until I got out the door, even though they had to keep it for a couple of over nights, waiting for a part to arrive!

Dowdy's performed an excellent diagnostic of a fume smell on my older (2002) Pontiac. They were able to find and repair a leaking fuel line causing the smell, and gave feedback on other issues which should be addressed (some of which were handled at that time). Great service, great communication, would highly recommend.

Finally! A reliable mechanic! Took my Subaru here for a second opinion on some things. Super glad I did! They let me know the real deal on what was going on and gave me reasonable quotes , NO pressure. No upsale. No bells or whistles. Def glad I found them. Not super fast, but they are thorough and trustworthy.

I use Dowdy's for all of my vehicle repairs. They are never pushy but are extremely thorough and make recommendations on the items that they find that may need repaired. Every repair they have done has been complete and without any further attention. This makes me feel comfortable with all of my vehicles and that they will run in tip top shape.

I've had the same issue with my truck for years. I've taken to two different shops over the past 3 years with no success. My first time going to Dowdy's & now I won't be going anywhere else. They helped me with my main issue on top of identifying others that have never been mentioned to me before. Don't waste your time or money going anywhere else. Don't make the same mistake as I did, you can trust that you are in good reliable hands at Dowdy's. Thank you Brandon!!

these guys are GREAT! they were honest, and did the work needed on my car in a very timely manner. my car was having trouble with very intermittent starting. they fixed one prominent issue, and we felt like that may have fixed my issue. as it turned out, on a very cold morning the car failed to start again. Dowdy’s paid for the tow to their shop, and fixed one further issue, and my car now starts better than it ever has. all this, and they were really great and professional to work with. i know from many decades of experience how difficult it can be to find a good, honest, reliable mechanic. and i would very highly recommend Dowdy’s to anyone!
