I needed to have my exhaust manifold to head bolts replaced on my 2010 F150 4x4. This is a big job when the studs are broken. Chris and his team did a great job at a value price, I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing professional, care that is well executed. Everyone in the office and the technicians were very understanding and professional.

Brought in a Ford Expedition without error codes that was having cruise control issues. Chris and team diagnosed it, identified the problem, and then went the extra mile to confirm nothing else could be the problem before proceeding with the very reasonably-priced fix. Will continue bringing my family's cars here in the future!

Everyone I have spoken with at the shop including Chris have been professional, straightforward, and up front. Fair prices and thorough diagnostics. Really appreciate a mechanic that takes the time to document and walk you through the details of inspection. Appreciate them bringing life back into my vehicle and keeping me safe on the road. If you are looking for honest and trustworthy people, this is the place to go.

Jorge worked me in to have my oil changed. I had scheduled it online but it didn’t go through and he couldn’t have been nicer. I’ve been there before and never had a problem with anything I would certainly recommend them

I chose Hudson's Automotive Service based on their Google reviews; they did not disappoint. Very fair, diagnosed the problem with my truck repaired and returned the vehicle earlier than expected.

While replacing the timing belt Austin failed to set the timing correctly and my car would hardly run and when I mentioned to Chris that it ran great before he got very angry. Austin told me that it was likely a bent valve and suggested that I scrap the car or buy a used engine. Since my engine was non interference I told them this was unlikely but they argued with me saying it was an interference engine. Chris finally admitted it was a non-interference engine. I was barely able to drive the car home because it ran so rough. I was charged over $1000 dollars for this incompetence.Austin also pulled the valve cover and failed to tighten the 4 nuts holding it on. 2 nuts weren't even hand tightened. 1/2 quart of oil dripped onto my exhaust and driveway. I ended up pulling the timing belt and timing the engine myself in my driveway and now runs great again. Another time I brought the same car in and they failed to secure a hub cap so I lost one and had to buy a new set. Another time they replaced suspension part on rear wheel of another car and didn't bother to check alignment and the tire which was new blew out a couple of weeks later while on the highway. The tire was riding on the extreme inner edge and quickly wore out. Bring your car there at your own risk.

I need some work done before we had to take a road trip. After comparing costs at other area garages, I was able to schedule the work the next day and the work was done in the specified time frame. Chris also did a complete check of everything, including tire pressure, filters, and oil pressure. I felt confident being able to travel now. I will definitely use Hudson's again

Hudson Automotive went above and beyond to repair our vehicle and get my family back on the road. They got us into the shop immediately, gave us a quote that was several hundred dollars less than competitors, and the owner even offered to give me a ride home so I wouldn't have to walk. Not only was the price much lower than competitors, but they did a full inspection, sent me photographs of everything, AND the owner called me to explain the inspection results AFTER the shop was already closed. Hudson Automotive exceeded all of my expectations by working tirelessly to take care of me and my family; I will definitely be using them for all of my vehicle needs going forward.

This is truly a reliable automotive shop. Chris the owner & his team are top notch. They have always been fair, honest, & reliable and go above and beyond to assure top excellent service with a small town feel! I was introduced by a friend to this service provider after a dealer was ripping me off left and right. I highly recommend this place for any and all car service. 5* without a hesitation!

Always greeted with a smile and genuine concern for your needs. Service is always quick and reasonable. I have never had to return to correct any errors because there aren't any! I would highly recommend Hudson's Automotive Service to anyone with car repair needs or even simple auto maintenance! Big city service with a small town atmosphere! They treat you like you're part of the family! I'd give them 10 stars if it were an option!

I have been taking my car to Hudson's for years and I always get great service. Even if something doesn't go right...they will make it right. It only happened 1x but I took my car in for new breaks. Got the new breaks and the next day ..some weird sound was coming from my breaks. I called and talked to Chris..he was like bring it in. I brought my car back and he rode in the car with me..so he could hear it. He heard it as well.. I left the car and they ordered a whole new set of breaks and replaced them all. Some times it's not the shop but a bad product and Chris made it right. Recently I took my car in just for a tire rotation and I explained to Austin that we were down to 1 car so I would have to wait for it. As soon as I got there..Austin took the car in..rotated the tires and was done in about 20 to 30 min. I so appreciated how they took care of me...as it's difficult being down 1 car in a family. They are honest and hard working.

I’ve been taking my cars to Hudson’s for over 20 years (started when Mick ran the place). Chris and his team are always professional, knowledgeable and timely. If something needs updating now, they tell me. If it can wait, they tell me that too. I have confidence my car will run efficiently when I drive out of the Hudson lot!

Got my car towed there and as soon as I got there they were able to check it out, gave me a call back letting me know what needed done & the price. They told me it would be about 3 hours of work & that they would give me a call letting me know if that was all that needed done to fix my car. I was able to pick it up the same day it was brought in. I didn’t meet anyone other than the owner and woman at the front desk but both were extremely nice & it was great service! Highly recommend them!

Top to bottom outstanding service. Both in the garage and up front. Everyone there is very friendly and will bend over backwards to make sure you leave in a much better situation that when you arrived. The mechanics take the time to actually get greasy and diagnose the problem rather than throw noodles against a wall. Locally owned business that proves their reputation is every bit as good as you hear! My entire family uses Hudson’s Automotive and wouldn’t trust anywhere else!

Chris called me and said your car is ready. I told him that was the best news I've heard all day. Hudson's Automotive has professional workers that provide great service to our community. This time I got a complete new exhaust system replacement. I wouldn't trust anybody else. They have fully knowledgable personnel. Hudson's is the only place where I take my car for service. They are honest, caring, trustworthy and professional. When I started my car's engine, I expected to hear a loud sound. There was no loud sound or noise coming from the car. It sounded like a brand new car. Thanks guys. I'm happy.

Great experience on my first time getting my 2017 Edge repaired. Even let me bring my own purchased parts & they did the labor. Completed work on time as quoted.
