Inexpensive and fast. Delighted I found this place.

I've had several visits to Darryl's business, and every time I've come away impressed with the integrity and value of the work his team does.

The Bike Hippie

Honest shop. Only place I trust with my ride. Keep up the good work guys????????

Eli Hason

Darryl has been the most honest and forthright mechanic i have found since moving to the area. When I have gone to most mechanics in the Comox Valley I have ended up with bills far exceeding the quotes, even for things I didn't ask to get fixed. Darryl has usually come in under budget and doesn't try to upsell me on things I don't need. I send all my friends and neighbours to him.

1 of 2 of the mechanics I use in town. Keeps the quoted price and explains the process. Never does he just, go ahead, without a call first. My self and my parent go here.

Marley Marl

Honest mechanics. Very good work. Very effective and efficient

Stephanie Hall

Just had an excellent experience with Darryl at Budget Brake and Muffler. He was able to inspect and fix my muffler quickly and inexpensively. He was recommended to me by my dad who first went there over ten years ago (my dad was so impressed with the service he even remembered Darryl's name) and when I got there I saw lots of team photos on the wall for soccer and hockey teams they have sponsored. Highly recommended great local service!

John Bradbury

Always the best service!

North Q

I had a last minute problem with my parking brake seizing late in the day. They got me in right away and got me on the road within an hour or so. They were very courteous as well. Thank you.

Mark H

Bent me a custom piece according to my specs. Good price and did it right away, also tweaked it for me for free the next day after I dry fitted it and it needed a 15 degree adjustment.

Peter Elliott

Didn't try to up sell. Good repair at reasonable price. ????

Braden Webb

Took my 2009 Ranger there as I had an exhaust leak. They repaired it instantly and affordably. I certainly will be coming back here again. Very friendly service and affordable. Keep up the good work guys!

Margaret Bird

Great people. Honest, helpful, and on time. They checked my check engine light for free the day it popped on to make sure it wasn’t a big deal.

Derek Spencer

Darryl is great with his knowledge and I will not hesitate to have him assist me again.

Keith Robertson

I've been taking my cars to Darryl and the boys at BB&M for about 8 years. The service is great, and most of all you can trust him to do repairs that are necessary and not suggest fixing things that don't need it. This sort of honesty creates a lot of good will and repeat customers. Thanks Darryl!

Jarlath Blair

Fast service, highly recommend..

Steven Martin

Always great service... bill matches quoted price without surprises... They fix what you ask them to fix without trying to talk you into replacing every part on your car.

Jewal M

Fast but watch out for pressure upsales

Andrew Chernenkoff

Great place for repairs or maintenance on your vehicle.

Caro Ouellet

Great place to go for exhaust replacement at a very decent price!

Mike duToit

Budget BandM was great. Had a problem coming to Campbell River with the brakes. Darryl fit me in that day and was able to put my concerns to rest. Can't say enough about the guy .... and shop.

Sondra Lambie

Had my first experience with mechanic nightmares at two local shops. Budget Brake and Muffler came to the rescue, actually took the time to look my truck over and get to the root of the problem! My truck was repaired quickly with them, they were kind and had excellent communication through the process. Next time I go here first and save myself some money and stress!

Samuel Roberge

Great manager, super honest. Only garage in Courtney that I go to. I will even drive from Victoria if I can to get my car repaired.

Stephen Shipman

From the very first phone call to the payment of the bill, this was an awesome experience. I brought my partners Nissan Pathfinder in for rear brakes, a change to winter tires, and an oil change. Nothing was oversold. Nothing was replaced that didn’t need it. I was very impressed with the service and the honesty of the owner. Definitely a shop to come for fair and honest service.

Dax Hodacsek

Asked to remove the rear-most muffler (of 2 in the car) and install an exhaust pipe following the same path. The pictures speak for themselves. Quoted $80, charged $120. 6 exhaust leaks were found. When I went back the same day and asked for a refund due to the inability to fix this bad of a screw up, Darryl argued with me for 20 minutes trying to convince me that this was quality work and refused to refund. He did offer to "fix" the leaks which consisted of two quick welds to seal a few of the holes. But after driving for a day the leaks were back. Put the car up on a Hoist and took the following photos. Ended up cutting out the pipe and found that whoever installed the pipe crushed and stuffed the new piping into the old piping about an inch creating a restriction in exhaust flow. Furthermore this blunder caused the exhaust gasses to force themselves through the already poor welding making more exhaust leaks. I would ask them to redo it. But I don't trust Budget to even look at my car after this example of their workmanship. 0/10 would not do again.

loring mackenzie

Fast and friendly, great workmanship

Derek

Had an issue with the front end of my truck so I decided to bring it in to Darryl and his team. They managed to find the issue and Darryl called to explain it to me before they started the repair. The service was fast and friendly and the cost of repair was definitely reasonable. I would recommend them as I will be back for any future repairs to our vehicles. Thanks!

A profoundly disappointing experiance

Absolutely horrendous work. Every car i have brought here comes out with a MULTITUDE of exhaust leaks. The work they do is absolutely bottom of the barrel and terrible quality. Travel down island.

A good experience here. Went in with grinding brakes mid day and they could not fit me in, but made an appointment for the next morning. Was in and out in about 90 minutes. Very fair price, and Darryl was helpful and friendly enough.
