First off, I worked in the auto industry for 4 years so I am very picky. My parents have been using Dowdy's for over a decade, and they have gone back for a reason. I now take my car there, because their cars are 10+ years old and running strong. They only fix what is broken. Mind you, I am a guy on an embarrassingly tight budget driving a 15 year old car. Justin even offered to stay late to read the code for my check engine light. There's a nice waiting room with TV and a table, and the coffee they have out is actually pretty dang good. I am leaving this review on behalf of an entire family's decade of experience. I inherited a family car and their service invoice still had my mom's name on it. When the ac/heater went out, I asked Justin to change the name to mine on it. He advised me to wait, as this would void the warranty on the part. He could have changed it and charged me for the repair, but he went out of his way to be honest and save me money. It's clear that they guarantee their work here, and they value customer service and honesty more than they value emptying your pockets. It is hard to trust people when it comes to your car, and that's why I go to Dowdy's.

i took my car in because i was on the road to oregon from utah and the check engine light came on. when i pulled into Boise to check it out they were the first shop i came too. right off the freeway! they were fast to let me know what was going on with the check engine light (something about the egr valve) and to fix it and to get me back on the road. was inexpensive and the light hasn't come back on! A+++ on everything about my stop there.
