My wife and I are traveling around America and buying a couple of cars to ship home to Australia, one of the cars got a vibration and Buds was able to fit us in and check and balance our tyres ;)

Got a flat and luckily this place was close by. Great service and I sat in my car while they replaced the tire! I’ll definitely keep them in mind.

About

Mike and the shop on College Street

Bud's is the kind of place people write reviews about on the way out of town: a couple from Australia buying cars to ship home got a vibration checked and balanced on the spot; Route 66 travelers with a bolt in the tire were patched and gone in minutes; a referral from another shop walked in without notice and was back on the road before he sat down. Mike, the owner, gets the credit for the patience — swapping tires until an aftermarket wheel finally fit right. The race-car photos on the counter are not decoration; the shop still stocks American Racer tires and Bassett wheels for the dirt tracks.

  • Old-school knowledge, old-school service
  • Fair, upfront prices
  • Route 66 travelers fit in same day
  • Dirt-track tires and wheels in stock
