It was a pleasant visit. The work was extensive and was all day. They got it all done and a little under quote even with the coupons they gave me.

Skills, fair prices and integrity. These are key attributes I seek when I trust my vehicle to a mechanic. Dan at Dowdy's exhibits all of this and more. I have found my mechanic for my next 100K. Thank you.

These guys are top notch. They have now done two of my vehicles and they did not disappoint. There was a small issue with my pickup this time, a misunderstanding having the rear differential oil changed. I didn’t need it done because it had been done less than a year ago. When I brought it to their attention, there was no hesitation they zeroed that portion out with no questions asked. This is why I go back, very professional and honest. I will be taking a third vehicle to them as well. Thank you guys so much for your great work, honesty and the professionalism in your shop!!

The guys at Dowdys are truly amazing, I’ve recommended this Dowdys location to multiple friends and family. In fact I travel past at least 2 other Dowdys locations on the way to make it to my preferred location.

The reason why I would drive from close to Lucky Peak out to Meridian to have an oil change is simple. The guys at the front desk are knowledgeable, kind, caring, and always greet you with a smile… they even shocked me by remembering my name after only one visit.

The guys working in the cars are always clean, professional, have great attitudes and far more importantly than that they are incredibly knowledgeable and have some amazing skills they can showcase while working on cars.

These guys are my mechanics for life now, I just wish I would have listened to my friend that recommended them sooner, instead I waited and found a mechanic far closer to me and had to deal with nothing but shenanigans, excuses, and then just plain nonsense…

but since he’s the reason I went to Dowdys and can finally say I have found a mechanic that’s trustworthy, affordable, and happy to see me (not just happy to see my money)

Go to Dowdys… you could have had your car fixed by the time it took you to read this ridiculously long review…

Not impressed at all. Had the car towed here after speaking with them and was told they could do the job. 5 working days pass and no communication. I called to check the status of the car and was told they couldn't work on it. Reason " the car is too highly modified". So in total 5 days wasted and $265 in tow costs. If your staff isn't competent enough to take a couple bolts out to do the job that's all that had to be said.
