The Shop is fantastic! Steven and staff are extremely knowledgeable and their work was very thorough, at a very reasonable price. I paid 2xs more at my prior mechanic! I will start having them service all my cars now.

My wife and I recently moved to Fern Creek. Since we drive older cars, it's good to have a trustworthy mechanic close by. We happened to meet Steven through our new neighbor, and within about a month both of our cars needed some repair work. We decided to use "The Shop" and we are glad we did. Steven and his staff are courteous, fair, quite knowledgeable, and very accommodating. We are happy and relieved that we've found our new car guy.

I have taken my car here a few different times for different issues. They have been exceptional every time. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and they are very open and transparent with cost and what is going on with your car. They have provided pictures of the damaged items/areas before they were replaced and the part removed from my car when I went to pick it up. The clear straitforward unambiguity is incredible and as someone who has been burnt by mechanics in the past taking advantage of my ignorance, The Shop is a welcome relief for a good autoshop.

My wife went to this shop a few months ago and could not stop talking about how great of a job they had done for a fair price. Recently, I attempted to go to another shop to get my tires rotated and oil changed and was blown away at how much they were quoting for a simple job; due to this I decided to check out The Shop. As soon as I walked in I was treated as if the owner and I had been friends for years and the prices were some of the best I've seen around Louisville. Our initial conversation went so well that I ended up having them do quite a bit of routine maintenance (tire rotation, oil change, air filters, battery change) all at once because I trusted them to give me the best prices (which they absolutely did.) To summarize, if you're looking for an honest, hardworking, and fair local shop then this should be the one you go to. I cannot say good enough things and I will only be going here in the future for any maintenance my car needs.

I knew I needed my brakes checked, and I work right next to The Shop, so I went over and asked if they could look at it. Going in, the vibe was already super fun. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Steven greeted me at the desk, and we talked about possible repairs—then he told me to bring it by, they’d look at it, and if I wanted, they could start repairs right away and hopefully have them done that night! Once they knew what my car would need Steven walked over to let me know and talk it through with me. He was clearly very knowledgeable and he explained what my car needed and why it was important and how they were going to do it well. Brian was the tech, and he stayed late to get my repairs finished for me. Steven kept me updated the whole time. I picked up my car with new brake pads, rotors, and fresh calipers, and my little Hyundai has not driven better since I got her last year. They do oil changes as well, they’re super sweet and fun—definitely definitely go here if you need work on your car.

Having a mechanic that is honest, knowledgeable, informative, and very easy to communicate with is priceless. Steven and his crew at The Shop are all these things. They did a couple of big jobs on my Honda Odyssey with great results. I had gone to a Honda dealer, who provided an estimate of repairs that for me, seemed excessive. I took it into The Shop and they gave it a once over. Helped trim out all the unnecessary work and beat the dealer on the cost of what did need to be done. If needed, I will confidently bring my family's vehicles and certainly give The Shop as a recommendation. Thanks and great work guys!

Incredibly impressed with this place. I called asking about having some brake work done and they told me to bring it in any morning and they would take care of it. The repairs ended up being a bit more involved than expected, but they still managed to get everything done that same day! They were very communicative about my repairs throughout the process. They sent pictures and provided updates. All the staff I dealt with were very friendly and knowledgeable, taking time to answer any questions or explain any repairs. The prices of services were fair and reasonable. I will be back for any future mechanic services.

We moved here 3 months ago and I asked my neighborhood group about a reputable, honest mechanic who was reliable and thorough. The Shop was recommended several times and now I can see why. Steve was knowledgeable and considerate, addressed all of my concerns, and left me feeling confident in the job that was done. Happy to have found our new family mechanic!

Steven and Jacob were super helpful from start to finish! I found this shop on Google because it was close to my area but I’m so glad I didn’t go anywhere else. Communication was clear and they helped me resolve some really complicated issues on my car quickly and effectively! They’re good, honest people who clearly love what they do. Thank you all so much for everything. I’ll be bringing my car back here for all my needs. I would definitely recommend The Shop if you’re looking for a safe place to maintain and repair your car.

Transparent diagnostic processes and fair pricing. The distinction between safety related repairs and other issues that are going to be an upcoming needed repair. These guys give good advice on repairs and vehicle longevity in a time of inflated new car prices is prices, and that has real value these days.

I honestly cannot recommend The Shop enough. At first I came in to get a second opinion and a quote. When I dropped off my vehicle I spoke with Steven about some history about the car as well as what our needs were. He was absolutely amazing, and after walking out of The Shop, I called my wife and said "I don't care if he charges us twice as much as the other place, I'm having them do the work." I never mentioned anything about having another place look at it first, so it wasn't like he was trying to undercut their quote. Even then, he made sure to try and get us the best prices on the parts and got us a couple of discounts on them. Honestly, after getting the quote from the other place, I priced it all out myself based on what they had said, and Steven and The Shop are definitely making money in some nefarious way, because it ain't in parts and labor... xD

I recently had my car serviced at this company, and overall, I am very pleased with the results. My car runs perfectly now, thanks to their precise and high-quality work in replacing many parts. I absolutely recommend getting your car serviced or repaired here for the quality of the work alone. However, there were a few areas where the customer service could improve. The phone conversations were a bit rushed, and the explanations of the issues and necessary repairs felt hurried. Despite this, they did take the time to show me the parts that were replaced, which I greatly appreciated. They also walked my brother and I through the process a bit, this occurred in person upon picking up the vehicle. In summary, I would say that the exceptional quality of the service and the thoroughness of the repairs outweigh the minor customer service issues. I highly recommend this company for any car repairs or maintenance needs.

Exceptional service! I called them quite by accident when the dealership said they could not see me until mid June after my check engine came on. The owner, Steven Kelly, said come right over and we will diagnose the problem. I did and was completely at ease. Took my car in today and I can’t say enough good…a great bunch of guys (even though I had to walk there…LOL). I’ll never go anywhere else!!

I picked The Shop from Google since it had good reviews. I had a whole bunch of steering/suspension work on my old truck to keep it in good condition. They were very professional and communicated well. They were also very straightforward, showed me photos of a couple other issues they noticed, gave me different options, and even showed me the old parts afterwards even though I trusted them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! I’ll definitely go back for future repairs and have recommended them to a couple friends.
