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.
Very fair pricing, quick to respond, great about communicating necessary information and showing why things were needed. Got quick service that was effective. Would highly recommend
2nd time coming here in a month due to some bad luck but they were able to recommend a very cheap towing service and fixed my ignition same day at a price way lower than expected. My go to auto repair shop going forward!
If you are anywhere in the Louisville area you should definitely go to the shop for anything you need done. They are very friendly and reasonable people that have helped me countless times!
Steven and his team finished an oil change, tire rotation, air filter change, and a general car inspection promptly all while I was on my lunch break! The cherry on top is that this didn't break the bank. Steven also took the time to explain and show me what truly needs to be addressed with my car sooner than later. I've been overdue finding a reliable and knowledgeable mechanic for car maintenance but I finally found what I was looking for.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Shop after experiencing persistent issues with my vehicle that other shops could not resolve. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that immediately put me at ease. The staff at The Shop especially Jacob were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the diagnostic process they would undertake to identify the problem. Unlike other places where I felt rushed or dismissed, here I felt valued as a customer. After a comprehensive inspection, they quickly diagnosed the issue that had stumped other mechanics. It was clear that their expertise was top-notch. They provided me with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done, along with transparent pricing that was very reasonable considering the quality of service provided. What impressed me most was their efficiency. They completed the repairs in a timely manner without compromising on quality. I left feeling confident in my vehicle’s performance, which is something I hadn’t felt in quite some time. if you’re looking for a mechanic who combines friendliness with exceptional skill, look no further than The Shop. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive repair services. They truly go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction! Thank you all so much!
Quality service from honest men. Took good care of my Ford Fusion while helping me figure out an electrical issue. My family & I will definitely be coming here more often.
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.
The service that I received two weeks ago was amazing and the price for the the repairs was second to none.
Went there to get my oil changed today and my service was excellent. The guys was very knowledgeable and help with something that was also going on with my vehicle other the oil change. They did over charge me for anything and I will be a returning customer for sure.
I've been having some small intermittent issues with my car that are quite elusive, and they tried their absolute best to try and replicate them, but my car just wasn't cooperating. Nonetheless, they're really flexible and honest, and it looks like they're running a great shop!
The shop not only got my car looked at in a timely manner but we’re very transparent with exactly what was wrong and also did a thorough inspection and found a few other things that would have been safety concerns. They communicated very well, explained it to where I could understand and I would highly recommend taking your vehicle here with car troubles.
Last night I noticed my engine light come and had no idea what was wrong. I remembered a business card I received in the mail describing "The Shop" for automotive repair. I took my vehicle in and discovered a great place to take my cars for repair. It's nice to find a repair shop you can trust for outstanding service. Today they won a new customer.
Service was fast, efficient, affordable and the customer service is beyond expectations. This is the second vehicle I’ve had serviced there and I plan to continue to be a customer at The Shop.
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.
They were pleasant and able to get me in quickly. Update: I had my 2nd encounter with then today and they are fantastic. They are pleasant to deal with.
Both Steve’s were amazing .. I would definitely recommend their services to a family member or friend… Jacob the other technician that was present was very thorough and professional . the whole team was a great pleasure to do business with and will further be attending their services. THANK YOU AGAIN !
I highly recommend The Shop! They are incredibly trustworthy, have an excellent eye for detail, and provide outstanding customer service.
The Shop is amazing! I would highly recommend for anyone who needs work done on their car. Steven will treat you right and always provides excellent service, and top quality work.
Professional and informative. Staff made good recommendations as to the brake work I needed. Price was reasonable for this day and age. Work was completed quickly.
The Shop did an excellent job with the replacement of the brakes on our CRV! They were thorough in their explanation of the work they had done and the brakes are working perfectly! I appreciate the personal touch that you won’t get at other mechanic’s shops!
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.
They fit me in their busy day. Listened to me. They're friendly, nicely priced, and really have an interest in your vehicle. I felt like I was in good hands
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!! Super honest, knowledgeable and JUST FREAKING AWESOME! They have earned my business in full. Jacob (mechanic) coolest guy on the block. Owner Steven is right there with Jacob hahaha! 8/26/2024 another great freaking review. These guys are amazing yet again. Can’t express enough gratitude for the people at the shop.
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.
I pulled in and thought I had a coolant leak. They checked it out and found nothing wrong. Very nice shop.
Appreciate and love The Shop SO much! I desperately needed an oil change before going out of town and they thankfully were able to squeeze me in. Their staff are so friendly, the waiting area is very clean and it was an amazing deal! We will definitely be back and I’ve already started messaging family before even walking out the door. Thank you guys!
These guys are hands down the best in town. They’re incredibly kind and knowledgeable and explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you know nothing about cars. Take every car you ever own here. Seriously, they’re awesome.
An Auto repair shops can be found anywhere and some are even proficient but not many can do real auto repair like tearing down a busted engine barely running. My Mustang, after a 116,000 miles, needed just such a repair. The guys at The Shop not only tore my engine down and made the repair and thus saving the car but enhanced the power out put by making additional upgrades to the engine as they reassembled - the whole time sending me pictures of the repair. Such engine work is not everyday auto shop work and was far more than I would have trusted many to do. All the guys at The Shop love cars and know cars. I recommend them to all and trust them with both my cars. In addition to doing high level auto repair the guys at The Shop are a Pun of Fun
This shop is amazing so happy to finally find somewhere that is honest & fairly priced 🙏 I recommend all my mamas out there this genuine business keeps this mama safe & on the road ❣️
Very professional, efficient, affordable, and quick. I would recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you!
They was very nice and extremely helpful when it came to diagnosis and repair they took very good care of my Jetta I’m glad I found them. I can’t thank you guys enough.
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 son had to have his car tuned up before he left for college. They were efficient and explained everything!
If you have any car troubles at all, please go here! I first came because it was recommended to me by 2 separate people. The service is amazing, they are incredibly friendly and are very reasonably priced! Coming here forever!
This place was AMAZING! They worked with me a lot and my budget. I got my AC compressor and belt done here and I would highly recommend this place!
Brought my car in because my radiator was leaking a lot. The team did a full diagnostic and gave me a quote on how much it would cost to fix. It was undoubtedly expensive so i didnt feel like doing it right now. I told that to them and they said there was no pressure and i didnt have to pay for the diagnostic. Very friendly and informative all around.
I recently had an excellent experience at The Shop! They were not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely prompt in scheduling my car for service. The price was very reasonable, and the quality of work was top-notch, reflecting their expertise. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable car service!
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.
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!
Most car repair shops aren’t to be trusted, they’re sleazy and liars for the most part. But not the shop, I found this place from a recommendation and I was delighted when I came here for service, everything was explained and compared to the previous labor I had on my vehicle, the price was outstanding, so I too, recommend this shop to anyone needing auto repairs or maintenance, this is an honest and affordable car repair shop.
