Bucky’s Fife

These people had my car for two weeks, fixing the «a“arm on my Hyundai. The initial cost estimate was $ 500.00, and they ended up charging $ 2200.00. The entire staff was unresponsive. I would never recommend them, and get mad each time I drive by one of their shops.

Bad bad service!!! Don’t go there! You can definitely be sure that they don’t know what they are doing, all abt money!

Did a free check eng scan found left the gas cap lose light never came back on all the other shops wanted to charge me 100 bucks for a diagnostic thanks guys

These guys unscrewed my spark plug so when I drove off it would break down. And since they only did an oil change they said it wasn’t their fault. I literally stuck my fingers in and pulled the spark plug out. That’s impossible unless someone has a special tool. The guys at oreillys even said they intentionally did that so I would get everything replaced. I called the Corp office and they never called back. That just shows what kind of company this is.

I received a quote for work on my jeep. We got more than one. We found that buckys was well over $ 400.00 more than anyone else. It pays to shop around. We got the repairs done at meinke and are very pleased.

Went here to get my oil changed and they told my to come back in 2 hrs this was at 11:30. Asked if he needed a phone number to contact me and I was told no problem I’ve got you down. So when I came back at 1:30 they didn’t have my appointment and told me to come back at 4:00…really? Don’t waste your time going here they don’t know how to keep appointments.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! First of all they did the last oil change on my car (actually several) so nobody else has touched the oil drain plug but them. So here is how it went… I took my car down there to get the oil changed. Me and one other woman were sitting in the waiting area with a man. The manager took care of the man first. Then he started talking to the other woman about her oil change. Mind you the entire time this is going on my car was out up on the rack in their garage. After discussing her oil change with her… he came back several minutes later to tell her they found this and that wrong with her car. Then he found other things too… and her bill kept going up. She unfortunately paid it… but it seemed quite suspicious to me… because after he did this he then started in on me. After my car was on the rack for over 40 minutes… up in the air… he came back in with my oil cap showing me this gunk (mind you it was not there when I went in because I take very good care of my car and clean all of it including that part). I check my oil weekly and also clean the engine comparrtment regularly. He tried talking me into a $ 129.00 for an oil flush which I didn’t need. I told him no and he left. Another 40 minutes go by and he comes back and tells me to follow him to my car. Up under my car he shows me my oil drain plug. He tells me that it will not come out and it is spinning in the hole freely. I asked him if it was simply going to fall out and he replied… no… it is in there very tight. What??? Did he just contradict himself… yes he did. So I asked him again if it was loose and he said no… it was tight in the hole… and I then tried to spin it by hand with my finger tips and it would not move. I looked at him and said… it doesn’t move at all. He said I know… it just sits in there loosely and spins. Then he told me it would cost me over $ 200.00+ to purchase a new oil pan… and over $ 200.00+ in labor… plus and oil flush for $ 129.00 and an oil changet to fix it all. I told him that only his mechanic had touched that bolt being they had done the last oil chianges on my car… so if it was cross threaded and stripped it would have been his mechanic. He then told me that parts like that just wear out over time and get cross threaded by themselves… it just happens. Funny… He never mentioned the words cross threaded until I did… did you notice that. I then told him to lowver my car and remove it from his rack and out of his garage. He gave me a look like you don’t want me to fix it… and I then told him again to lower it and remove my car from his rack and out of his garage. I then tokl him I was going to take it to the dealer and have them inspect it for what he had told me… where upon he tore my paperwork up and threw it away and didn’t even talk to me but walked away rudely.
Well Larson VW looked at my car and yes… Bucky’s in Fife did in fact cross thread my oil drain plug and ruin the oil pan by doing so. It ended up costing me over $ 640.00+ to have it repaired. BEWARE… DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION!!! THEY DAMAGED MY CAR AND WOULD NOT MAN UP ABOUT IT… AND TRIED TO SELL ME SERVICES I DIDN’T NEED!!! TAKE YOUR CAR TO A REPUTABLE DEALER!!!

It is hard to find a mechanic you can trust. I am glad I have found a shop I can trust; Bucky’s. I brought my car in and got a good deal on a diagnosis. Then I was told they could do the work, but the car probably was not worth it. No attempt to try to sell me on the work at all, just the facts I needed to make a good decision. I highly recommend Bucky’s to anyone who needs automotive work done, from their great deal on oil changes, to anything else you need.

Bucky’s team helped me and my buddy get back on the road quickly after the suspension in his old Ford truck started making some unsettling clanking noises near Fife/​Tacoma. Turned out to be two broken sway bar links. They were knowledgeable, professional, fair and courteous.
