Engine repair service near Fairdale, KY

Great work as usual

I've been taking my cars here for over two years now because Louisville Fine Motorcars has won me over not with their dashing looks and stunning charm, but the quality and professionalism they bring to the table that other shops dream about. Luxury service at a price that everyone can afford? Who could say no? There is only two people in this world that touch my cars, me, and Louisville Fine Motorcars. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

I was very impressed with the service. I had the car diagnosed and they told me the price and performed the job. Customer service with a smile! Very satisfied customer C Moore

First visit had quick diagnosis for expensive repair, then after work was completed they found another much simpler issue which could have been cause of initial problem, casting doubt on initial diagnosis. Did the secondary work at no extra charge. Was quick, work complete within 1 week of initial call to schedule. Second repair, removed broken glow plug. Initially quoted one price, then was increased during service. Upon completion, found new body damage to vehicle. Had to review camera footage to take responsibility for damage. Once agreed to, shop repaired damage within 2 days. Paint issues remain (deep scratches) but body damage repaired no charge.

We have used many mechanics in our years of driving. To me these guys at aamco dixie are top notch. From the communication to the diagnosis to the final bill. Charles and Travis took their job very seriously. They explained everything and did the job correctly. John the owner was involved through the whole process. Any questions and concerns became an after thought. They didn't let any issues arrive unexpectedly. Some people might say they are a little expensive but that's just not the case. They are very fair considering after job is done they are still there when needed. They are the best and it starts right at the top with John. Charles treats it like it's his own business. Travis the mechanic was an above average guy. I can see why they are in business. Because of the professional manner with which they do business. Other business's should copy their formula. Maybe we as people should start caring about each other as they care about their customers. We would live in a better world. Thanks guys. Michael and Lynn johnston.

The shop located at Outer Loop & New Cut is awesome! The owners are extremely helpful and the mechanics are as well. They not only do tires, but many other things. They just rebuilt my transmission. I highly recommend them to anyone!!!!

My wife took our 2005 Toyota Camry here for a routine oil change, and was surprised when the tech said we had an oil leak. We just bought the car about 5 months ago so this was our second oil change. It has been a good car and we haven't had any problems with it. We never noticed any oil leaking, never smelled burning oil, and the oil light has never come on. In fact, less than a week earlier, we had taken the car from Louisville to Nashville and back. There were absolutely no indicators of an oil leak. The tech took her back to show her the oil that was all over the engine. It was covered in oil -- splattered up on the underside of the hood (right above the oil cap) and all over the manifold. She didn't think about it at the time, but the oil was fresh -- definitely not oil that had been running through an engine for three months. The engine looked fairly clean except for the fresh oil -- There was no dirt and grime that would have certainly accumulated and attached itself to the oil if there had been an oil leak happening for a period of time. Since it was fresh, the oil had to have already been changed at this point. Furthermore, the car was in the garage for about 10-15 minutes before the tech came to speak with her -- sufficient time to change the oil, but too much time to not have already noticed the mess of oil that was all over. The tech explained that the car was going to need about $500 worth of repairs. My wife immediately called me worried about the cost. I asked her to have them finish the oil change, but hold off on the repairs while I called my automotive friend at the car lot where we bought the car. My friend asked if we would bring the car by so he could look at it. My wife drove the 15 miles from Meineke to the car lot. After looking at the car, he immediately told her that with as much oil as it was losing, that she would end up on the side of the road if she tried to take it home. He said that there is no way anyone could drive the car much more than a day without ending up on the side of the road. But that wasn't all he said. Because of the pattern of oil on the top of the car above the oil cap and all over the top of the manifold, our automotive friend said, "I'm 100% certain that the car was started with the oil cap off." He explained that if it was just the manifold leaking, there is no way the oil would seep "up" to the top of the manifold and to the hood of the car. The next day, after he replaced the valve cover set, he explained that he didn't like to accuse people of shoddy work, but this looked very suspicious. The valve cover gasket was split in half in a way that does not happen from normal usage. It almost looked as if someone had taken a screwdriver and wedged it up against it. He suggested that a possible scenario was that a rookie technician mistakenly left the cap off, started the car, and, in an effort to cover his mistake, wedged a screwdriver into the valve cover gasket. That last bit is quite speculative. But what is not speculative is that my car was working fine before I took it to Meineke, and it was not after I left. There is no way we could have been driving around with that bad of a leak, and for three months up to that point, no one has been under the hood of that car except for Meineke. Ironically, if the Meineke technician had come to my wife and told her, "I'm sorry. We made a mistake and we need to keep your car for a bit longer to fix it. Don't worry about the cost -- we made the mistake, it's on us..." I would probably be a Meineke customer for life. But don't expect to see me at Meineke after this. I reported this to the management of the company and had someone call me back. Over the course of several phone calls, the gentleman and I spoke, but he didn't seem to be concerned about my car or the circumstances. The conclusion was that he supposedly reviewed the tapes of the incident and didn't notice anything unusual. So he wasn't going to give me my money back. Other than off-the-wall speculation, he couldn't explain why my car came to the shop without an oil leak and left with an oil leak. Nor could he explain how I was to trust his word that nothing happened against all of the evidence.

Stein charges $150 for a diagnostic and a "27 point inspection", a higher cost through the door than Tafel Motors. I took my Audi A4 to Stein to inspect a hidden coolant leak and an ignition issue. They quoted the job at $1200 (I later got this job quoted at Audi Louisville for $550). I declined to have the work done at Stein and went to retrieve my car and the presumedly thorough diagnostic analysis which consisted of a few statements: Plastic housing that couples multiple coolant hoses is leaking. Several coolant hoses need replacing. Technician checked the battery. Battery tested marginal and the terminals need cleaning. There was no breakdown of the cost of parts and labor of the quote, no mention of the check engine light, rear differential seal leaking, or oil filter housing leaking––all of which I know are problems that need addressing. When I asked the technician about the leak in the quattro system he replied "No, we didn't see anything wrong with it and we're very thorough." When I asked about the check engine light he replied "You didn't ask us to look at the check engine light; it automatically costs $150 to run the computer." You would think this would be mentioned in the pitch of the "extremely thorough diagnostic and 27 point inspection" –– except we can't take 10 minutes to get a computer reading on your check engine light. I voiced my disappointment in paying $120 (they knocked $30 off since the technician didn't take a full hour) for a service invoice with literally no valuable information on it and was able to coax some part numbers out of them. Of the six part numbers I was given, one was for the wrong engine and one was for a Porsche Cayenne. These guys are laughable.
