Aaron Nathanson went the extra mile to provide quick, professional and high quality service for us when we had battery issues the same week we were expecting a newborn! We're deeply grateful to him for his excellent advice and problem-solving ability. This was our first experience with Nathanson and definitely won't be our last!

Aaron was quick and responsive and gave us absolutely no BS for what ended up being an easy fix that we weren't car-savvy enough to identify. I would definitely recommend him and will be going back for any future repairs!

I’ve brought multiple vehicles here over the past few years, and I’ve always been impressed. Between some internet sleuthing and speaking to other mechanics, it’s safe to say Aaron has saved me a few grand over the years. I recommend Nathanson’s to anybody who asks.

  • Price assessment: Great price

I will be recommending this shop to anyone for anything in the future. These gentlemen are so curteious, thoughtful, and kind. They were actually leaving the shop, shutting the gate to leave for the night and they stopped just to help me. Any other shop would have told me to try back in the morning I guarantee it. And he never once acted annoyed. He was so kind. I wish I would have caught this mans name so I could mention him personally. But if anyone needs anything done on their car, this is the place. You won't be disappointed

Excellent mechanic! Aaron always treats me right and will work hard to solve any problem my 2015 Dodge Durango RT might have. Having a trustworthy mechanic in this age is a valuable and rare commodity!

This is the only place I will take my vehicle in Louisville. If you’re looking for a mechanic with extensive knowledge, honesty, and fair pricing, this is the place to go. I have always felt that I can trust all repair recommendations and that the work on my vehicle being suggested is necessary repairs only, nothing extra. High recommendation!
