Great experience at this place and very well ran. Had some problems with my truck was able to get me in the same day and have it ready 2 days later. This was seriously the first time someone has ever walked me through everything I had going on. Even offered to have there specialist come up as well if I wanted. When I went in to pick up my car they had everything laid out on the counter so I could visually see everything they had told me they were going to replace and had the team as well there. Mind blown!!!! I might add that before they did anything he even offered to let me take anywhere else and get an another opinion before doing anything. Hats off to these guys. Can't tell you enough how much I recommend this place.

I had my Honda civic serviced there and was taken care of so quickly! Tires were going bad and they replaced all four, did an alignment and replaced a wheel bearing that was much needed. My car drives so smoothly now and is much quieter. Also their prices are honest. I would visit here again and refer anyone to The Shop for their car needs! Thank you

It was nothing personal about this place..grabbing at straws on wat was the problem with the car! Had to take the car back twice after leaving with the car being worse then wen I first dropped it off..spent all kinds of money on wat they said just for them to say it was something else after it broke down after they said it was fixed. Don’t waste your time or money here!

My husband and I have had a great experience with this shop. Excellent brake job and fair prices. Once my electrical panel lit up with the trac off and check engine light. They found my gas cap wasn't tight enough and it caused a vacuum. I was relieved at the quick, easy fix. I would have had to pay $180 at the dealership to find out something simple like that. I wasn't even charged here at all :)

FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY WORK! Having a knowledgeable mechanic you can trust is a rare find in any community. But my experience with "The Shop" in J-Town and with the owner, Steven, has been outstanding! I had two unrelated issues with my Ford Escape. In the most gracious and sincere way Steve kept me fully informed at all times, worked hard to find ways to reduce the cost and completed the work to the highest standards. Steven treated me like a long time friend and customer even though it was my first visit. "The Shop" will be my "go to" for all future services for both of my cars. THANK YOU Steven!


Feb 01, 2025

Fast and respectful group of people! Highly recommended!

Great experience with Steven and the rest of the crew at the Shop! Needed a new battery for a BMW. They exceeded my expectations with efficiency , knowledge and a little bit of fun thrown into the experience. I will definately return for future maintenance.


Feb 01, 2025

Had a great experience with this shop. Quick service and the job was well done. I wont ever go anywhere else for my any of my auto repairs. The mechanic was very knowledgeable and very helpful


Feb 01, 2025

Had about 4 things done to my old trusty SUV they went above and beyond to make my experience fantastic!! Excellent and easy to talk to will definitely be going here for all my vehicles needs!!! Thank you guys!!


Feb 01, 2025

The Shop offers great service with very polite & respectful associates. I would recommend this place of business to all my friends & family.


Feb 01, 2025

The customer service was amazing. Oil change was $49.95 for full synthetic oil.

These are the most honest and hardworking people you’ll ever meet. my sister and I are for Cincinnati and we were in the area to purchase a car from carvana (I KNOW) we got it and went to find the first body shop that would take us. first every other body shop only works on specific cars then the others that we did find in the area had a wait till next week. We called them they said they were about to close but will take us for a inspection. we went there they said this is a “no go car “had a previous accident that we were not aware of problems with the oil and bunch of other things that was never explained to us. They are so nice hardworking and knowledgeable they told us to take this care back and get a new one or DONT BUY FROM CARVANA EVER. The people there are the best . “Always go somewhere you can trust” these are those people thank you so much for all your help

Everyone was so helpful, and Steven went out of his way listening to my concerns, diagnosed my car’s problem in a timely manner, and honestly! Steven made me feel cared for and important, like family! This is the best experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic, and with his staff too!!


Jan 31, 2025

Highly recommend!

Our Prius was acting like the hybrid battery was problematic. We called around and found The Shop who could get it in and diagnose it for us. It ended up being the accessory battery. We appreciated the communications, and quick turn around of the car. I highly recommend this business.

This place is so exhausting, stressful, and will run you around in circles. Been dealing with this people since December 27 when I had my daughter’s car tow up there. After $1700 and having to take the car back up there twice when it was supposed to be fix the first time. They want $645 more to fix a problem that I mind you the car never done before and happen only a hour after picking the car up from there. Definitely bad for business when you have to get your car tow to other shop because the shop that was supposed to fix your car didnt but yet some how make it worse then what was when it was drop off. January 28 finally got my daughter’s car tow away from there to a different shop.

They were able to literally save Christmas by fixing my emergency breakdown on Christmas Eve! Fixed the problem quick and didn’t try to upsell me any BS. Then when I realized I forgot to apply a coupon to that fix they offered a free oil change to make it up. Excellent shop for any type of car!

Very positive experience with Steve and his top notch team at The Shop.


Jan 17, 2025

Wow, what a blessing to find The Shop. Being new to Kentucky I had to find a place to take care of my car. The Shop was super! Took care of me and the issue. I was treated with respect and I have found my "go to" for car care.


Jan 10, 2025

Couldn’t have asked for better service! The staff at ‘The Shop’ are all top notch and knowledgeable. Very welcoming and friendly. Keeping myself and my kiddos safe in my vehicle is most important and they took care of everything needed without breaking the bank! I will continue to have my vehicle serviced there in the future!


Jan 10, 2025

Great people to work with, and very personable as well as professional


Jan 10, 2025

They helped me with my car, diagnosed problems over phone with pictures, did a fantastic job! Thank you so much


Jan 07, 2025

Always a pleasant experience here! The guys are very professional. Service is always quick as possible, sometimes even same-day. Prices are more than fair! Staff is not pushy when it comes to possible repairs. I highly recommend Steven, Jacob, and the staff!


Jan 07, 2025

I bought my car used a year and a half ago, and it has been nothing but trouble. I’ve taken it to multiple places for various repairs. I brought it to The Shop initially for a transmission leak, but they identified and addressed other issues I had been dealing with. They communicated with me throughout the process and got my car running better than it did when I first bought it. I’ll be bringing my car here from now on!


Jan 07, 2025

Experience has been amazing! Very welcoming, reassuring. Jacob the co owner's knowledge about my car right off the dome put me at peace with what was a stressful situation with my car already! Big recommend👍🏻


Jan 07, 2025

Got my car together within a couple days and kept me updated.


Jan 07, 2025

Great service, and range of services. Great products, and, range of products with competitive pricing. (They saved me $35 on my battery alone) But for me, and, most importantly are the great people at ‘The Shop’. Fantastic customer service and support. The owners really have a handle on how to treat their customers fairly and with a service you will not forget.


Jan 07, 2025

Honest and transparent with quality work! There’s a lot of anxiety bringing your vehicle in for a ‘noise’. A mechanic can tell you anything about what’s wrong and what’s needed. Luckily, Steven and his team diagnosed and fixed exactly what was wrong. They took the time to explain it with pictures. Was up front about the plan, timeframe and costs. It’s been a couple of weeks and the Jeep rides beautifully! I’m glad we have an honest and reliable shop in Jtown, and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.


Jan 07, 2025

I have family members who have had excellent experiences with The Shop, so that's where I took my car after it broke down. Steven called me every day with detailed updates to what he was finding and what it would cost. He was kind and friendly, I felt informed and confident that my car was in good hands, and I feel the price I paid was extremely fair. Best of all, my car drives beautifully (and safely) again. I will absolutely be returning next time my car needs work.


Jan 07, 2025

Moved back to J-Town. Passed this shop several times and had never stopped in. Needed some engine work done on my 96 Mustang GT. Explained the problem and was told they could take care of it. They completed the work in a timely manner and kept in contact with me the whole time the vehicle was there. The staff is very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and professional. Would recommend this shop to any car person that wants quality work done. All my cars will be going here for any repairs.


Jan 07, 2025

They did a great job of with my brakes that were taking a little longer than preferred to brake! It was quick and easy and we had the car back within the day! They explained everything well and it was very reasonably priced! Love working with these men, they make getting my car fixed and enjoyable experience.

This place has got my business from here on out. I came in for a standard full synthetic oil change. They did a routine inspection and found the source of a spooky sound that I had been hearing that I didn’t even think to tell them about! They also identified that I had an oil leak, which I was not aware of. They physically showed me where the issues were, which I felt was very transparent of them. They also explained everything to me to make sure I understood why certain things needed to be replaced. I felt like they treated me with the utmost care, which I really appreciated. Their pricing is also super reasonable. I am so glad I decided to try them out for an oil change! They will be my go-to shop now! Thanks a ton!
