Have struggled with finding a good reliable mechanic for years, but Jay's can be trusted. They are friendly, trustworthy, and affordable. Thanks Jay! We will be back (hopefully not soon). I'll be referring friends and family to YOU.

Fast at his work. Highly recommend. He won't lie and is an honest man. One of the workers broke a fish I had hanging around my mirror but I can deal with that because Jay gave me a discount on a very expensive job.

Best auto repair ever!! Very good prices, trustworthy honest & thorough service. I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in Louisville.

Friendly helpful reasonable prices can't go wrong coming here

I went on and on describing all of the symptoms my truck was showing. He assured me that he'd check it all out and run the proper diagnostics meanwhile wrote "runs bad" on his notes. Why over complicate it? Love it! Boom! Next day runs like a new truck. Thanks Jay Baker! You have my business.

Professional, courteous and efficient! Jay Barker knows his business. Hey you in and out, ready to go😊

Best shop in town /the state for that matter I have trusted Jay with my vehicles for at least 15 years and never not once been disappointed very fair pricing 10/10 repair work ! I would drive from out of state to bring my vehicle here !!! Very honest people they won't just work on a car that's not worth working on without prior consultation ❤️

Best mechanic shop in Louisville, hands down a little pricey, but you get what you pay for.


Feb 07, 2024

Best people around you will not be disappointed. I would recommend anyone take the car here for honest, fair and polite service. Can’t beat it.

Dad took his car there and tried to have some work done and was told that it wasn't covered by the warranty and that no other shop would do it as well so paid out of pocket just to be informed by the warranty company that it was supposed to have been covered and the car was in worse shape than before due to a wire that they had broke loose from the connector in which caused the throttle body to go out in which cost another 300 on top of the 600 to have it fixed the first time

Dishonest place. Came here about a year ago. My car’s brakes were a bit squeaky in the mornings. They tried to gyp me out of $500 because they said I needed new brakes. I took my car to Brakes 4 Less on Preston Highway and they said I didn’t need new brakes at all, that the squeaky noise in the mornings was just moisture on the brakes from sitting all night.

Do you ever get concerned when your car/truck needs a repair and you aren't sure if you can trust the auto repair shop? I know that is me b/c I know just enough about cars to be skeptical. The great news is you can put those concerns away when you take your car/truck to Jay Barker's Auto Repair. This is a family run father & son business who will be honest and fair with you and treat you right!! In other words, this isn't some franchise shop that's just trying to make a buck. This family has been in business since 1977 and are a foundation of the south Louisville community. I took my 2005 Tahoe in b/c my starter has been acting up so Brian ran some tests on it, then called me and said the test results says it's working fine but also identified this is the original starter from 2005 so I know it's only a matter of time and I travel long distances so I don't need it going out on the road. Brian replaced it and I had my truck back that afternoon and it's running great and the starter issue is gone. I will be back and I highly recommend you check these guys out for your automotive needs. You can trust them.

I truly appreciate Jay Barker and his employees at Jay Barker's Auto Repair in Louisville. He is very honest and saved me over $500 that another garage was going to charge me for an unnecessary repair. I recommend Jay highly and will not go anywhere else because I trust him to give great service with integrity and fairness.


Feb 07, 2024

I would not recommend this place. Prices are way too high. They charged $130 just to find the problem in my vehicle without fixing anything.


Feb 07, 2024

If you’re looking for a good and honest shop, this is your place!! They are such sweet and dependable people, do great work, and are very fair! ❤️❤️
