Wildt Brothers Automotive Repair

Nov 16, 2024

The first thing I'd like to share is, THEY WOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS THIS LONG IF THEY ARE DOING BAD BUSINESS!! (15+ yr's) ESPECIALLY BEING LOCATED IN THE HEART OF LYNDON/ ST MATTHEWS AREA.. I was raised in the area and they been in business as long as I can remember.. 🤯 I mean.. That right there speaks a lot about a business, especially being located in a High-end/ East End area...👍 I brought my fiance's 2000 Buick LeSabre into their shop because her car was running extremely rough. I'm pretty mechanical inclined but I could not pinpoint the issue. I started off by telling them just to take care of the six spark plugs. There are three plugs located in the back of the engine that is very difficult to get to and they have the right equipment to do it. I could handle the coil packs and the wires myself. They called me on the phone and told me that it was the coil pack that was giving me issues and that to the cylinders were not firing. How was the little confused at first because I am mechanically inclined but also only to certain vehicles that I've owned through my years. Well I have never heard of an Ignition Control Module (ICM) before so I never thought about checking or replacing it. After I got off the phone with him I decided to do some research and came to the conclusion that I was capable enough to replace the (ICM) unit along with the coil packs and spark plug wires. So I went back to him and told him that I was going to replace all the parts myself other than the spark plugs. But since there's nothing wrong with the spark plugs I'm not worried about changing them right at the moment unless the problem does not fix after the parts are installed. I asked him at first what do I owe him because over the phone before I arrived I mentioned something to him that I might just fix it all myself and he said that's fine all you owe me is it diagnostic fee. (Which it is perfectly okay to pay somebody for their knowledge) And he told me don't worry about it, just get the car taken care of. He did not charge me nothing and I even offered him $40 just for the wise wisdom he gave me because now because of his knowledge that he shared with me I was able to fix my fiance's car, an issue that we've been dealing with for almost a year now and I have fixed my fiance's car and it is straight up running like a brand new car now!!😁🤸🏼👍 Also if they're offering to fix your car yes it's going to cost a few hundred dollars because it probably difficult to do.. if it was easy we wouldn't need mechanics.. 🤦🏼 But anyways people.. the owner and his crew have to make a living just like us and obviously they're not rolling rich. They offer a fair asking price and are very knowledgeable on vehicles. I encourage anyone to trust these honest mechanics and their knowledge (don't forget nobody's perfect also) but like I said they are old school wise men that are just trying to make a decent living. Recommend these mechanics to help you with your mechanic needs! 👍

Driver's side window was off track. Took it to Wildt Bros midday on Wednesday. Looked busy. As usual. Expected to get car back on Thursday. BUT NO! A couple hours later THE SAME DAY they called to tell me it was ready! Also fixed fuel door that hadn't been working. Which I'm very thankful for. Price was right too. Thank You Wildt Bros!

Everyone I come back to this page my review is taken down, obviously these hacks work hard to keep bad press off their page. I was a paying customer for this sad excuse of a repair shop. This guys are THIEVES. Since they opened on the wealthy part of town they know they can just charge whatever they feel like for the most minor of repairs. The slob up front wanted to charge $400+ for a repair that I ended up spending maybe $150 on. If you want people that actually care about customers I’d go more toward the Shively area. DO NOT TAKE THIS DOWN, YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, OWN IT!!

Great very satisfied very knowledgeable

Took a newly purchased car in for inspection and paid $130 to have them tell me there’s rust and top off fluids? Took it to another mechanic for the rust who advised it’s just surface rust due to age. Also pointed out repairs (for free) that were not caught from the inspection I paid for. Will not come back here.

First time to go there and they were incredible! Gettin all of my business now!

When I asked if I needed brake pads they said I could probably get 3k-5k more miles out of them. They gave me solid advice and didn't try to fleece me. They did the work I asked for and no problems. I'll be back

Car was overheating as we were driving through Louisville. Wildt's had a good rating so I pulled in there. Gordon was a great and honest mechanic. Fixed me up and we were back on the road. Great place

Good people!

Great service and very experienced mechanics with more than fair prices!

I had a broken lower control arm they priced it called an made appointment priced fair then I had it towed to them on a Friday morning. To be done by Tuesday but they called early afternoon and said you're ready to go 👍.They had a gentleman pick me up and take me to their place on Lyndon Lane. Thirty minutes later I was driving a really smooth trip home. Fantastic service answered all my questions and wrapped it up. I highly recommend the Wildt Brothers. Great service and work thank you.

I had an alternator blow without warning. I dropped my car off late on a Friday afternoon mentally braced to be without reliable transportation for the weekend and perhaps longer, but it was fixed in less than hour at a reasonable price. As a college student with classes, a full-time job, a part-time internship, and not much of a support system to fall back on, having such a quick turn around on the repair saved me from so much stress and money I would've had to sink into transportation over the weekend otherwise. It was a great experience and I'm super grateful!

Dec 07, 2023

They are great people with alot of knowledge. Very helpful and fixed my car in few hours and now my car is good!

Dec 07, 2023

They will tell you what you REALLY need and will even give you options elsewhere if it makes more sense. I've used the Wildt Brothers Auto Repair for flat tires, and tire rim replacement. I like these guys a lot!

Unprofessional over the phone

Very experienced mechanic shop. They diagnosed the problems quickly. Stayed in contact with me explained everything very well. I will be using their services in the future.

Wildt's is a family owned car repair shop which is excellent in service & reasonable in price. If you drive by the location at anytime, you will see how busy they are.

Dec 07, 2023

Did a great job on a pre purchase inspection. Good communication and value. Thorough. Nice people.

Great guys! They only sell you what you need and get you back on the road! Highly recommend!

Great place and the guys are very knowledgeable. They have even advised me on how to resolve an issue myself. Honesty and fair prices makes it easy to keep going back.

Have used Wildt Brothers several times for several years. Always expert work and very thorough and really know their work. Dependable and trustworthy.

Dec 07, 2022

I’ve lived in the Lyndon area for over 30 years. Good guys, but definitely over priced. Do yourself a favor, get a second opinion.

Dec 07, 2022

Professional and fair on price!

Dec 07, 2022

Prompt, professional, and seems affordable compared to my experiences with other shops. Also honest, which I appreciated. They clearly explained the issues and instead of trying to upsell me, they were transparent about which repairs were necessary and which ones were optional. Will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family!

Dec 07, 2022

I had a really fantastic experience with Wildt Brothers replacing my radiator. They were very fair with their price, clear with what they were going to service, didn't try to upsell anything, and communicated with me multiple times during throughout the process. The communication was above and beyond and they've made a life long customer with me. Highly recommended!

Thank you!

Dec 07, 2022

These guys are amazing at what they do.

Dec 07, 2022

They handled a repair on my 2006 Subaru that several other shops wouldn't touch...replacement of the evaporator core for my air conditioner. They also addressed a couple of other items...cabin filter...low radiator fluid. Their work was timely, accurate, and high quality. They were respectful and professional. Bring your mask...some of the staff have risk factors.
