Meet The Team
Our personal values equal our business values
Ever since opening in 1976, Buck’s Automotive Service has always had the goal of embodying integrity and quality to give our customers an automotive service that they can trust.
Buck’s Automotive team has been together for decades, literally. Most of our technicians have been with us for more than 20 years and some with us for more than 30. This is a testament to our team’s core desire of caring for our customers by keeping their vehicles maintained and safe.
We require our mechanics to be certified by the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). We also encourage constant schooling/training so that they are providing the best service possible and keeping up with the latest technologies.
