This place is wonderful! I called them for help to check my brakes that had just been changed but still weren't working correctly and they were nice enough to squeeze me in right at opening when they had a full day scheduled and only took about 30 mins to get my issue fixed and had me on my way. I can't thank them enough for what they did! If I ever need anything else done, I'm glad I know a place I can trust. Thank you guys!

Very satisfied, did major work on my truck in one day at reasonable price, definitely recommend.

I recently brought my Honda Pilot in for regular maintenance and they found out my Rack & Pin was leaking and replaced it for free ($1200 part) because it was still under warranty, and I'm amazed at the difference when steering. Scott has always been very prompt, honest and professional. Top notch customer service. My family also brings their vehicles here for service. American Brakes is the only Auto Care service I recommend.



11/03/2023

First you should know that I am a very picky customer. I met Scott away from American Brake center and I was so impressed with him and his business motto that I immediately knew that if I ever needed service that I was going to give American Brake a try. My wife's car developed a check engine light so I took it in. I have never been more pleased with service from an auto repair shop than I was with American Brake Center!! They were very thorough, courteous, professional and reasonably priced! And they didn't just go replacing parts. They got to the root cause of the problem and made the appropriate repair. I was extremely happy to find out that they do every aspect of car repairs including tires which I will be back for next week to have replaced on my truck!!

Several months ago I had front pads and rotors replaced on my Lexus LS460. Recently I started getting pulsating when stopping at high speeds. I explained this to Scott and he checked it out and replaced the rotors under warranty at no charge. Fabulous customer service! Scott is amazing! I would Highly recommend American Brake Center on Preston Hwy!

I had some brake/rotor work done here.. the mechanics found I needed new wheel bearings as well. I was grateful for that as I travel a lot for work. My car feels brand new! Great customer service, up front, fair pricing. I will return!



04/15/2023

As requested by the manufacturer, I was recently required to have my vehicle serviced by a dealership as part of my warranty for an engine diagnosis. After several months of multiple misdiagnoses, overlooked and newly created issues after their first repair, a lack of communication, transparency, and accountability, and multiple expenses being billed to my extended warranty, in addition to my loss of work time and out-of-pocket costs, I decided to obtain a second opinion from AMERICAN BRAKE CENTER and AUTO CARE. As compared to the dealership's three options at a higher cost with limited warranty coverages, AMERICAN BRAKE CENTER and AUTO CARE presented the best sustainable option and timeframe. After receiving approval from my extended warranty, AMERICAN BRAKE CENTER and AUTO CARE completed the engine replacement and kept me informed of the progress throughout the process. It has been my pleasure for the past ten years to be a customer of AMERICAN BRAKE CENTER and AUTO CARE at both of their locations. A hallmark of their company is the dedication and commitment they have to providing exceptional and quality customer service, education and care, effective and transparent communication, reasonable prices, warranty coverages, and recommended maintenance and services, all of which builds and sustains trust with their customers and the community. A special thank you to AMERICAN BRAKE CENTER and AUTO CARE for another service that is second to none!

This is my 3rd visit for various routine maintenance and repairs. Every visit has exceeded my expectations! Dealer quality service! No they don't have a fancy waiting room or wifi. But if you want the best mechanics in town, you've found your spot.

Haven't made it in to get my vehicle repaired but the customer service received over the phone is why I will wait until I have the time to drop it off to them to have it serviced. Also my father has been a customer with them for many years and loves their service and stands by it. I'm sure I will have the same experience.

Scott and the crew at American Brake Centers did an excellent job finding the problem in my SUV and then fixing it. They didn't try to sell me unnecessary things. They told me what the problem was and then gave me options to fix it. I would highly recommend these guys.



reviewicon

Best place I have found to get car repairs. Honest, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Always try to save me money instead of finding ways to charge more like some others. Scott is a great person to deal with. I really don't know how, but he is always cheerful and helpful.

The guys here are very friendly honest and respectful. We started bringing our vehicles here more then 20 yrs ago. Fred who has since retired, was manager/owner i believe.

Courteous & Excellent Customer Service!!!!! On 1/4/2021 I called to see how soon a mechanic could look at my brakes. Scott told me their availability and I dropped my car off on 1/5/2021. Scott provided me with an update and total cost in which I gave the green light to replace my rear brake shoes & resurface the drums. My vehicle was ready once I got off work. Scott was very Professional with me, yet totally Honest which is important. The price was very reasonable and I drove away very pleased and with a peace of mind that I was able to have my brake shoes replaced. If you are looking for a GREAT service this is definitely the place. I will be a returning customer!!!

I have been taking my Ford Edge here for years and will continue to do so. They are always honest and get the work done quickly. They answer any questions I have and I trust what they say. I have never felt like they tried to sell me something I didn't need or over charged for any service I have ever had completed there. With them doing more than just brakes it makes it easy to have one place I can take my Edge to no matter what needs to be done.

Was getting ready to leave for work and my car wouldn't start. Made one phone call to Scott at American brake and everything was handled in the most professional way. The next call I received was that my car was ready to be picked up. They made a most stressful situation completely effortless on my part. They are amazing and I would recommend them to everyone.

I can't say enough good things about this place. We've been thru quite an ordeal with a van we bought that looked all pretty from the outside but beneath that hood lurked some pretty hefty neglect. Scott and Mark were so patient and fair to us to get it fixed. We've always been Toyota people. This time we thought... let's try a dodge... good price, lots of room. Well our good price almost doubled. Even after all the money we spent to get it fixed it's still not running great. We decided we're done with it! Trading it on Monday for a Toyota Sienna. I highly recommend American Brake. They are honest and not out to rip you off in any way. That's how a good business succeeds. A+++++ Thank you guys!!

The work at American Brake Center has been excellent. I have 4 cars serviced at American Brake Center. They do great work. Their prices are very competitive with other places. Scott and his crew of mechanics have done great work on all my cars. Scott always lets me know what needs to be done immediately and what is coming down the line in terms of repairs. He has also helped me in buying two cars for my daughters. He and his mechanics inspected the cars and let me know what kind of shape they were in. This was so helpful for me in feeling comfortable in assisting my daughters get good, reliable cars. I would highly recommend this shop for good, honest, and efficient work on any type of car!

I got my brakes and my rotors replaced here, and it was by far a great experience. Often times I feel auto shops like to take advantage of me, but the gentlemen who helped me seemed to honestly care about the well being of my vehicle & not trying to ?pull one over on me.? I will definitely be back for my auto needs.

Over the years you have seen auto brake companies come and go, you've heard the good and bad about them all. We are very fortunate here in Louisville to have the American Brake Centers. Two locations honest, upfront and they are truly men of their word. When it comes to working on and completing the task at hand definitely a five-star business. Thank you Scott to you and your crew from the Davis'es.

reviewicon
12/19/2019

Scheduled an appointment the day before and arrived on time, but they were bogged down with work, so I was "worked in" as soon as they could get to me, which caused me to wait in the waiting room much longer than I should have with a pre-scheduled appointment. Service and quality are outstanding-have used them several times before, and will do so again when I need brakes. I do recommend them.

I can't recommend this place enough! Their customer service is top notch and they fixed the issues my truck had. I was visiting Louisville when my truck broke down.

Scott and the guys at American Brake are awesome. I have been going there for a few years now and they do great work and are honest. That's what keeps me going back!



reviewicon

This guy took a car that was bordering street legality and not only made it work like new, but also did so at an extremely fair price. When other shops were quoting thousands of dollars, he said $600. When the repair needed a component that he hadn't foreseen to tell me about, he added it for only the cost of the part, not adding the cost of labor. This shop is worth your time, money, and trust.


reviewicon

They are very helpful and they replaced my brakes quickly. He even changed my oil for free. I would highly recommend this place for both the price and the quality of service.


reviewicon

Great service and trustworthy. I've used them for nearly 20 years with no issues.

reviewicon

Bill and his crew go above and beyond to get it right. Been a customer for years and will keep going back. Service they way you expect it to be! Highly recommended.


reviewicon

Extremely helpful and definitely the most affordable compared to other quotes I got before using their services. Total was hundreds less than expected and car is running perfectly!


reviewicon

Being a female and not knowing much about car mechanics, it is so important for me to be assured that my car is in good hands with mechanics I trust. The guys are never pushing and always call me before any work is done to my vehicle and let me know how much it will cost and what is being done. I highly recommend American Brake on Bashford Ave. Ct. Great bunch of guys!
