Dowdy's Automotive

I can’t say enough positive things about Dowdy’s Automotive Service. Justin has taken care of our vehicles for 14 years now. Recently, I had some brake repairs done at a different shop (Long story) and I was not satisfied with them. Had Dowdy’s review their work and found the other shop had used inferior parts. Dowdy’s replaced the parts and finally the brakes work great. I really appreciate that Justin and his crew listened to me, something most shops do not do. Once you experience their quality work, you will understand. Go now, don’t wait.

I seriously NEVER write reviews but feel like I have to! -Extended Travel Cv Axles -Extended Travel Struts/Coilovers -Brake pads and Rotors I have always had trouble finding good trustworthy shops so I would usually just tackle projects on my own or with the help of some friends. But due to the nature of the repairs I needed and the time that I had available doing it myself just wasn’t going to workout so I went online, set up the appointment and dropped my truck off later that day. The online appointment scheduling is extremely user friendly and I was able to put in everything that was going on with my truck. They got back to me the next day with a full online report with notes, recommendations and even pictures. After looking over everything I gave Justin a call and had a very honest conversation about why this happened and what I should do to fix this. I could have gone with the same parts and spent less money but would have ran into the same issues later down the road and Justin very truthfully and honestly said he wouldn’t want me to do that so they recommended upgrading certain components that would help everything last longer and ride better. I obviously spent more money than originally planned or could have by doing it myself but saved money and a headache in the l long run. I can’t thank you guys enough for the great quality and speed. I use my truck for everything and will be going on a week long hunt by the end of the month so we’ll get to see just how much better the truck is now. If you guys are wondering if you can trust Dowdy’s or if they do good work it doesn’t get any better than this. Thanks again for helping me get my truck back on the road and ready to go back into the mountains.

Justin and Ivan are always helpful and not only do excellent repairs in the time projected, they also go above and beyond with their education on car issues without being a salesperson. Never any pressure. Dowdy's on Meridian and McMillan have been servicing my car for past 3+ years. Recently I purchased a new used car from a dealership who sold me a car that was supposed to have been cleared by their service dept. When I had Dowdy's do an inspection they found major repair issues that would be approx $3000. With that info I contacted the dealership and told them I will be returning the car under the 3 day satisfaction period. After I explained how their service dept missed major issues or they chose not to be transparent about the issues, they agreed to make the repairs. Although, they accused Dowdy's as being extreme in their inspection report. Dowdy's has never bren extreme but they are very thorough, unlike the dealership. I will contine to have Dowdy's service my car because they are trustworthy, repairs are timely with fair prices They will tell you if any discovery can wait or if it requires attention. Their employees enjoy what they do! It shows in the quality of repairs and their customer service attitude! Thank you for being like a family member who has your back when it comes to car repairs and maintenance! You are the best! Grateful for having your awesome service! I recommend that you get their pre-purchase auto inspection before buying a car, it is worth it!!

Dowdy's is my go to for any auto repair. They are fair and do excellent work. I appreciate their communication whenever they are working on my car. I recently had some warranty work done and the experience was far better than the dealer.

I’ve been going to Dowdy’s for 6 years. Once you find a mechanic you trust, you don’t leave. Justin & Ian (and their crew) have always taken care of us. They have honored their warranties, been incredibly honest with what needs repaired versus what can wait, and they have very fair prices.
