Automatic Muscle is owned and operated by brothers Fred Budrick and Dennis Kennis. They provide quality service on heavy trucks and diesel engines including big rigs, tractors, and city trucks. Automatic Muscle also offers high performance engine and transmission repair for rear wheel drive vehicles. They offer a 90day parts and labor service guarantee, and enjoy an outstanding reputation for quality, fair pricing, and dependable service.
Fred has a strong background in heavy truck repair starting with his work on Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel and Mercedes engines in his service shop in Buffalo New York. When he made the move to Phoenix, Arizona, he saw the need for quality heavy truck repair in the southwest and opened up Automatic Muscle.
Fred is certified on Caterpillar engines as well as air conditioning. When he is not working in the shop, Fred is often found restoring classic muscle cars for both race and show. Fred’s love for diesel repair is that it’s never boring or repetitious.
Dennis began working on big rigs over 12 years ago as well, earning certifications on Detroit Diesel as well as Air Conditioning. In addition to being a highly awarded professional, Dennis is also an accomplished bass player. In addition to automotive and diesel repair, Dennis also has experience with marine engines and service.
