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

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!

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!

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

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.

I brought my vehicle here for a coil pack repair. I was greeted promptly. I dropped off my vehicle, got a call with cost estimate and was able to pick up my vehicle in about four hours total time! Service was prompt and communication was excellent! I was happy with the price too. I will definitely return for future service needs. Great job!

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!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

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!

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.

This place is amazing.hands down. The employees where really helpful. They even drew me a diagram to show me where my car needed a repair and sent me pictures of the area on my car showing where it was broken. Super helpful. Great labor prices. Will always go back to these guys.

I've read some of the reviews before I even had them tow our car Friday. (3/26/21) & even after choosing them I was absolutely terrified & worried because of the few bad reviews. BUT I GOTTA SAY GUYS. As some one who goes to junk yards & fixs small problems with cars. It IS HARD work. & TIME consuming. For people to think it's going to be "cheap" is completely absurd. We bought our own parts & they fixed it up quickly. Got our car back the same day. As an adult with a job & things to do. That is absolutely amazing & awesome. I dont know his name but he was so helpful & informative. We will definitely be sticking to the Wildt Brothers!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

We have gone to them for the past four years. They have been extremely honest and helpful. They have always been quick to evaluate our car and quick to repair our car. They have been the best mechanics I have ever done business with, and I cannot recommend them enough.

My car broke down 200 ft from their location. I walked over to see if a machanic can come and look at it, knowing all it needed was a new bolt for one of the cables connected to the car battery. They looked at me and said they can only help me if I rolled my car over (which was 200 ft away). I understand that they only want to do business in their location, but what does this show of customer care on their part? After 30 minutes I finally got the car started up and took it to the store, he looked at it for 5 minutes and put it just a new screw and bolt they charged me $12. I do not recommend this location to anyone. Poor service, and a poorly ran business.

Friendly and knowledgeable, will definitely be returning for car repairs in the future. I had a lot of questions about what was going on with my car and the guys at Wildt answered with so much patience. Also very happy with the cost of the work compared to other shops in the area.

Butch Wildt and his crew have performed nearly all repairs on our family automobiles for over 20 years, even back in the day when they used to represent and sell BP gas...yes, that long ago! They are very up-to-date on performing repairs on late-model cars, and will tell you up-front if a repair needs to be done by the dealer. I've taken my car in their and been told "we'd love to do it for you, but this is under a recall and you need to contact the dealer to get it done at no cost. And they've told me when repairs would be more than the value of the car, to scrap it...etc.. Those are the types of guys they are. And I've never had to take a car back to get a repair "repaired again." AND you're supporting a locally owned business!

These guys were professional from start to finish. They fixed my car in less than 24 hours and Butch finished the job for $100 less than the quoted price. I'll definitely be a regular customer.

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.

Sucks to say this: A few weeks ago, while getting a dead battery jumped, the cables were put on the wrong leads. This immediately blew the ECTS fuse in my car - which is very very very easy and cheap to replace, but I wanted other stuff checked out, too. I got the car dropped off at Wildt, and left a detailed voice message telling them to replaced the ECTS fuse and to test/confirm the fuseable links and alternator were still okay. Wildt charged me $171.16 to replace the single fuse - which did get my accelerator working again. I questioned the charge (it seemed excessive for just replacing a single fuse), they explained that they spent "a lot of labor/time" checking the car out. That made some sense - if they spent a lot of time making sure nothing else was broken, I don't mind paying for a bit of added confidence. Still, testing an alternator is very very easy, and free at Auto Zone - but reviewing disable links might be tricky?? However I immediately had issues with the power flickering (radio and lights cutting in and out), and a couple days later my car stalled out/died twice while driving, before it completely stopped running altogether, so I got it towed to my house. I Ubered to work the rest of the week, and that weekend I took off the alternator myself, and had it tested at AutoZone (for free). The alternator failed the test immediately, which was killing the battery - so I replaced both of them. Of course, I knew that testing/replacing the alternator wasn't going to fix the underlying issue - it had to be a fuseable link. However, Wildt had told me when I discussed the testing they performed that I was lucky that my vehicle didn't have fuseable links?? I then had my car towed to Smith Imports to get the links tested/repaired vehicle). Smith Imports tested the all of the car's electric components/fuseable links, and easily found the one that was completely shot, and they charged me about $100 dollars more than what Wildt brothers originally did - BUT this included diagnostics, labor, AND parts - and they actually fixed the problem. Having the car towed twice, Ubering to work, and then Smith's repair cost - it would have been nice to have just gotten it right the first time at Wildt - but I'm not even sure Wildt tested anything at all - besides replacing that single cheap fuse... When I saw the car immediately having issues after I got it from Wildt, I just didn't trust taking it back. I've had 'okay' experiences with Wildt before, but not this time - basically felt ripped off. Overall, disappointed with the electrical diagnostics done.

We have been taking our vehicles here for 15 years and they are always straight up with us. I remember one time they told me to avoid replacing something that wasn t critical. Definitely give the Wildt Brothers a shot.

I have never had this company do any work on my vehicle personally so I'm just going off the reviews I've read and from the phone conversation I had with one of the employees when I called to inquire about a diagnostic test for my car. The guy I spoke with on the phone wasn't too friendly and didn't seem to care if he got my business or not. I also read another review from a guy who had taken his vehicle into have a diagnostic test done at this shop and was still charged the $70 even though their machine wasn't able tell him what was wrong with his vehicle. I do believe if I ran a business and my customer came in looking for an answer to a question, they would not be charged unless I could give them an answer, that seems fair enough. Both reasons being said, I decided not to take my vehicle to this shop.
