I was having issues with my 2023 Chevy Silverado. The dealership showed no concern for me or my truck. I had heard good things about Watson’s and called them. They told me to come on over and drove my truck on test run. They showed me what was wrong and gave me a very reasonable quote. They got it fixed and had me back on the road. I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. Thank you Daryl and team.

I am well aware that it needed to be towed to your shop but pardon me for assuming that you would have the same guy that towed my suv there would tow my truck! I was willing to pay for for it plus the repairs YOU DONT NEED TO SHOUT AT ME OR USE CAPS, IM NOT STUPID. I BELIEVED IN YOU! They were really good about fixing my suv but when it came time to fix my Ford F350, they kept giving me the run around! The girl that answers the phone is not reliable because she said she would talk to Darryl and call me back but she never does. I called and called her back to no avail! I finally walked over to the shop and talked to Darryl but only to get the run around again. I trusted him so much! The girl there thinks she is too cute to do her job. I finally gave up and had my truck towed to Virgilios in Shelbyville and they have already communicated with me to let me know what is going on! I will no longer use Watson's Auto Repair in Taylorsville Ky

Watsons Auto Repair takes pride in fixing the most difficult electrical problems. They take pride in their work with the utmost integrity, work ethics, and value offered to their customers. I have challenged them with some extremely difficult work and they have performed greatly to my satisfaction. It can be difficult to find a shop that you can trust and I’m very particular to the degree of workmanship that I expect. I work on Aircraft for a living and preventive maintenance is important. Rest assured that Watson’s will keep safety in mind with your vehicle and in the most affordable way possible. Their warranty work is very reliable these days as many parts aren’t made as good as they use to. Unfortunately, many parts are made in China that are not very trustworthy. Watsons will get you the best parts available or maybe even allow you to bring in your own parts. Well done Watson’s, I will continue to keep you in business. Thank you!!!

Awesome experience with this shop! Didn’t over charge or do work I didn’t need. They did the work that was planned and in less time than expected. 10 out 10 would recommend.

I’ve personally had several things done here and I now consider Darryl a friend. Great work ethic and very reasonable prices. Highly Recommend! If it can be fixed he’s the one to do it!

Yesterday I was in a jam and wasn’t sure what to do. My car battery was dead and my family wasn’t available to jumpstart my car. So I called Watson’s to see if they could help me. Daryl told me he would stop by after they closed and jumpstart my car. I was so surprised that a business was willing to do this. After he jumped my car and got it running again I asked him how much I owed him. He told me not a cent he was happy to help me out and this brought tears to my eyes. Such a kind gesture!!!! So refreshing to know that a local business here in Taylorsville operates with honesty and kindness.

Good experience & reliable. Trucks rear brakes were squeaking bad. He could have sold me new drums & shoes like other shops probably would have. But he didn’t. He cleaned the brakes, cleaned the drums, adjusted the brakes & got my son’s truck not squealing anymore. He was honest about it & I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone. A+++

If you're looking for a honest, reliable and fair mechanic, look no further. Watsons auto is by far the best around. My vehicle broke down in Louisville and I had it towed to a known company in Louisville. The price they were going to charge seemed outrageous. So I called Watsons for a quote and it was literally half the price (no joke, half). I was able to pay to have my vehicle towed again and still saved a lot of money. From the office staff to the owner, everyone was friendly and helpful. Support local and if your not local, you better call for a quote, because I guarantee it will be worth you time.

Took my car to Watsons waited a week and never heard anything from them. They finally called me and told me my car was ready. Picked it up on a Monday and by Tuesday it was doing the exact same thing. I called back twice and left a message and Daryl never even attempted to call me back. My experience as a first time customer with Watson was very unprofessional and unwelcoming especially driving from Louisville to Taylorsville. I wouldn't recommend sending anyone here because I was treated very poorly as a customer. Thanks Daryl for showing me your true colors, I've never been treated that unprofessional from in any mechanic in 30 years

Daryl (owner) took extremely good care of my vehicle while servicing! Staff members all seemed very nice and knowledgeable! I will definitely be coming back for any further car repairs or regular maintenance!

This place is awesome. They go above and beyond to get you going. They fixed my truck that nobody else could figure out. Daryl is a straight shooter, honest and I recommend his shop to anybody that needs any automotive repairs. Thanks guys,

Having an experienced, honest mechanic in a small town like this is worth it's weight in gold. We have taken our vehicles to Mr. Watson a few times over the last few years and I never felt like he was overcharging me, or making me feel stupid like some mechanics do because I don't know anything about cars. I just recently had it at his garage because both brake lights went out on my Kia..I checked the bulbs and fuses. Apparently I didn't check the bulbs well enough because he replaced them and they worked perfectly 🤦. I just appreciate having somewhere reliable to go because the one true statement about any car is, they are going to break and you need to trust the person you're taking it to to fix it. Highly, highly recommend Watsons.

Could not have been a better place! We are from out of town and staying at a local campground. Went to leave and power steering was out. Called Watson’s as they were close by. Over the phone, he gave us advice that fixed the power steering. The vehicle was still slow to start, so we drove it over. Owner came right out and hooked up the reader…topped us with power steering fluid and away we went. This is what the world needs more of - good honest people and business owners. Being 600 miles from home and not knowing where to go and what to do, Watson’s delivered something many businesses don’t these days - compassion. Thank you! - The Williams

Daryl was up front about repairs to my truck, did a repair that other shops wouldn’t touch and it also saved me time and money! I fully trust his service abilities and would recommend him to anyone looking to have any work done! Top Shelf service for sure! Thanks again to Watsons Auto Repair!

My experience with this shop was very frustrating. I was told on a Monday that they would look at my SUV on Thursday. Thursday they said Friday. Friday became Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday. Each day they would say I will get right on it and call you this afternoon. On the 10th I went in their office and calmly expressed my frustrations to which the owner’s response was here is your key back. Therefore I will find another shop that cares about customer service. Communications and keeping your word is key the success of any business.

Went to different shop for my car, they couldn’t get it in until the next week, as a last ditch effort we decided to try Watson’s. I tend to be wary of going to a new mechanic, but they said they could have my car in the next day, they did their thing and it was out of the shop within hours. I understand they couldn’t offer that for every problem but this will be where I take my car from here on out!

I came to Watson’s based on recommendation. I heard a lot of positive feedback from the community. My first experience with Watson’s Auto Repair was amazing! They took great care of me and got my vehicle back on the road. This is the best total experience I have ever had with auto repair. Friendly, Great Communication, Top Notch Work, More Than Fair Price… A+! Will definitely bring all of my business their way from now on. Thank You Watson’s!

My car needed some maintenance/repair recently, being new to the area, I wasn't sure where I should take it. I took it to Watson's Auto Repair and they got me in quickly, did the repairs really quickly and charged me a fair price. I STRONGLY recommend this place, they care about the customer and make sure the job is done right. If you're looking for a fair, honest and reputable repair shop, this is the one for you.

Needed some brake work done on one of my trucks. Darryl was able to get me in the same day i called and had my truck back to me the next day. Shop was very clean and organized. Was extremely detailed on what needed to be done in order to get my truck back on the road and pricing was very competitive with other shops. Highly recommend Watson Auto Repair and will continue to use them!
