We had break pad and rotors changed last year for my husbands car. Recently had a check up done for the car and they are still like new. We have had bad experience in the past with other auto shops in Madison. Even some well known. Badger city auto is not a rip off like most places. They do wonderful job for reasonable amount in timely manner. Plus the owner is super helpful and quick in replying. Highly recommend this place!
