Winter break last year my catalytic converter was stolen from my jeep. Horrible sound when you started it up the works. I called around to all the shops and ultimately shorts was the only one willing to help and work with me. I took it in and they told me that's what it was and got me set up with someone from another shop who could help me since they didn't have the machine that I needed to fix my car. They told me exactly what I needed not to be scammed and they were the only people to say sorry to me this entire experience. In short, if you're looking for reliable, kind, and trustworthy I cannot recommend shorts enough.

I want to write about how, after 2 1/2 years and 6 mechanics later, B&W Automotive Repair, located…read moreat 228 Gold Rush Road, Lexington, KY, was finally able to solve the problem with my older 2003 Chevy Astro Van. The Mass Air Flow Code had been on since I bought the van 2 1/2 years ago. After countless visits and numerous parts replacements by other auto repair shops, the team at B&W Automotive Repair meticulously diagnosed the issue, discovering a wiring problem with the mass air flow sensor that had eluded previous mechanics. B&W's persistence not only restored my van's performance but also gave me newfound confidence in its reliability. Now, I can finally enjoy driving and road-tripping without worrying about it unexpectedly breaking down. Thanks to B&W Automotive Repair, my Chevy Astro Van runs smoother than ever, and I feel grateful for their expertise and dedication. And above all, they charged a reasonable price to find the problem. Thanks Angie Clemons

I do not recommend this establishment AT ALL. they will keep your car for 3 weeks , not call you or…read morereach out to you at all during that time (leaving you to follow up w them each time only to get told they'll try to get to your car in a few days), only for 3 weeks to have passed & your car is still in the exact same condition it was in when you took it up there: Parked out in the gravel lot, boxed in amongst many of the other wrecked and battered cars that are there just rotting, sitting on cynderblocks....windows busted out, etc; Furthermore the front desk worker definitely needs to work on his customer service skills if he is going to be working w the public. When we had finally had enough and decided to go get above mentioned car, he tried to insist that a $148 diagnostic fee be paid- when they didn't have a diagnosis to provide us with when asked what the diagnosis was. Comical. So basically it was giving-- that any little way they could make money- they were trying. expecting to get paid $148 to plug a diagnostic machine up to a car for not even 60 seconds--unplug it-- & still have no diagnosis is......WILD we were told to "get the fck out & never come back!" .....lmaoooOooooo ...AS IF WE WOULD, EVER‼

I was extremely dissatisfied with my 3 week project which turned into a 3 month project over…read moreCentral Import Authority. Here are the main issues I had: -There is now a large dent on my rear bumper that was not there before. Now I have to pay to replace the entire panel. Erik, the owner, does not want to assume responsibility because "his employees said they didn't do it". Yeah, seems believable. I know for a fact the truck was moved on an almost daily basis and parked on the street because Erik has so many cars backlogged, he doesn't have room on his lot for many customer cars. I wonder how a dent could happen which this brilliant system in place? -This entire process took nearly double the time estimated with Erik putting many walk-in appointments ahead of my vehicle. At least two weeks went by after all of the parts had arrived before work began. There are cars on his lot that have been there over six months with no work being completed. He said that he prioritizes vehicles based on how badly the customer needs the vehicle back instead of the usual "first in, first out" approach. Sure makes me feel special! -Several parts and labor time was added on the final invoice that I did not approve. I paid it, regrettably, because I wanted my vehicle back after having spent over triple the time waiting on it as originally promised. -The power mirrors do not fold in. I paid for the mirrors to be installed properly and they were not. -The headlights do not turn on and off automatically. I paid for proper installation of the headlights. -The grille does not line up with the hood. The panel gap is off by at least 3/4 of an inch. It looks terrible. I paid for the grille to be installed properly. -The stitching on the dash is damaged. It was not damaged before. -The front sensors were not installed in the front bumper. I expected this to be part of the install for the front bumper. Now the parking system does not function. I took the truck back to Central Import for an estimated five days so that these issues could be resolved. After TWO WEEKS had passed with several texts and calls ignored, Erik called me to inform me he was done working on my truck and to come pick it up. He was extremely rude and said he did not want to work on it anymore and hung up twice. He called me a liar and used several profanities. To my dismay. I discovered absolutely no work had been done in the two weeks at their shop. What a spectacular waste of time. I would not take a Hyundai Daewoo into this shop with 500,000 miles. It's disorganized, overpriced, and absolute chaos. Not to mention, unprofessional. I don't think anything has ever been finished on time in the history of this entire operation.
