Very pleased with my service! They checked everything that I had requested be checked and advised me as to what was needed and only what was needed rather than pushing or agreeing to do additional work that wasn't needed. The price was on market with what I expected to pay. It was very convenient to drop my car off the night before and it was ready for pick up when I needed. They communicated with me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend The Shop.

The price was very reasonable, and the quality of work was top-notch, reflecting their expertise. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable car service!

Steve and his team took excellent care of me. In order to get my car back before the weekend, they worked until 7:30 PM. They ordinarily close at 6:00. Then, once they were finished, they apologized for making me wait. Service like that is truly rare. They get all of my business from here on!

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.

Can't say enough about these guys. Stephen and Jacob are awesome. The rack and pinion replacement they did for me around a year ago is driving great. And today they beat Amazon on the battery they sold us!

Steven and crew were great. From initial inquiry to job completion, response time was quick. Communication throughout was thorough - the technician took the time to explain how he fixed an issue. Everyone who greeted me did so with a polite warmth. Pricing was very competitive - I was able to save $$$ by taking my vehicle here instead of the dealership. I’ll be a repeat customer!

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 needed a new A/C put in my car after another shop was unable to finish it. The Shop not only got me in so promptly, but I had A/C running in my car by the end of the week. The value is definitely there! I am so grateful for their professionalism and attention to detail. I found my new automative maintence home!

Was just there today. These guys are great. They diagnosed my issue with an engine light and didn't charge me! Now I know what I need to fix and what parts to order. Other places likely would not have been this honest and fair. 10/10. Quit going to the other places, and come here. I am.

I was very impressed with The Shop and the staff. I went in to repair an oil leak and they went out of their way to make sure the leak was taken care of, and other problems were corrected. My 2005 G35 coup is now running the way I remember it use to. I am going to return my car to them next month to correct some electrical problems that I have. There we recommended to me, and I have recommended them to two other people since I starting dealing with them. I trust these guys with their work, and I look forward to rebuilding my car with them.

Yall won’t read enough of this review to truly describe the incredible respect, honesty, and value that this shop has for you and your vehicle. Were from Nebraska, came in for the weekend but had a misfire on #4 of our suburban. Although he was booked with local customers they understood the weekend was coming and we needed to get home Sunday. Wanna talk about fast… problem was diagnosed, parts were ordered, replaced, test drove, and I was on my way. And the price… I’d be tempted to haul a vehicle out here for them to fix and still save money compared to prices back at home. THANK YOU for taking care of us like you did!

As a woman who has tried multiple automotive shops both chain and small, I cannot recommend The Shop enough. Their style of informing me what was going on with my 2011 VW Golf TDI was knowledgeable without mansplaining and was incredibly refreshing. This is a tip to toe mentality shared among the entire Shop, and you could tell they actually liked their jobs. Not common these days, but so nice to see. I have never felt more confident in my understanding of what is actually being worked on in my car and that the work being performed is of the highest quality. I will without a doubt be a lifelong customer. No one I'd trust more at this point.

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 highly recommend The Shop! They are incredibly trustworthy, have an excellent eye for detail, and provide outstanding customer service.

We recently took our 2009 Mustang to The Shop for a pinion seal leak based on a referral. We had it repaired and returned to us the same day. We are new fans of The Shop! Steven and his crew are professional and knowledgeable, and we love that they are locally owned. We will be using them for all of our future auto needs.

My faith has recently been restored-there are good people doing professional work Jacob and Steven took photos of the work, explained in detail what was needed now and what could wait. If I listed everything they did RIGHT you’d swear I was a preacher and you were trapped in church!! See for yourself-make points with your mother in law, tell her about THE SHOP. You’re welcome 😉

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!!

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!

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.
