Kenny Jones Automotive Inc at a glance

Customers frequently praise the shop's friendly staff, thorough diagnostics, and fair pricing compared to dealerships. Reviewers highlight quick turnaround times, honest communication about repairs, and specialized Volvo expertise as key strengths. However, some lower-rated comments criticize the high cost of major labor and diagnostic fees, while others find the policy prohibiting customers from waiting on-site to be inconvenient.

Excellent customer service! I had a lock problem and they got me in the same day to take a look. My XC70 was an easy fix and the locks were working when I left. I've been a Kenny Jones customer for 16 years and 3 cars. They are honest, dependable, and provide the best customer service! I can't say customer service enough! - Naomi

If you have a Volvo and you live in Louisville Kenny Jones Automotive should be your first call if something goes wrong. I called around to a few other shops to get an estimate on a repair before I found Kenny Jones, not only were they by far the cheapest they were able to get me in promptly. They fixed my issue quickly were polite and never tried to charge me more than the initial qoute and never tried to sell me on a million other services or repairs. I will be scheduling basic servicing with them soon. I came for the price I think I'll stay for the honesty and integrity.

That is what we are known for. We are not always the cheapest, but we are always honest. We know the price of doing business and that is getting customers to trust us. Thank you so much for your review. Have a great day!

Kenny Jones is fantastic! They had me on the road in less than 24 hours and I can't tell them how much I appreciated that. I've been using them for 8ish years and they are always upfront with the issues, concerns, and prices. They are friendly and knowledgable. I always appreciate their thoughtfulness with having my desk ready for me to work when I have to stay with my car for the day;-) I can't recommend them enough!

Service people are always listening to what you tell them and then diagnosis what is to be checked by the mechanics saving you time and then mechanics not only check what was diagnosed they run a complete check on the vehicle and see if there is anything else that could be wrong and repair it. Prices are very affordable with highest quality work.
