Reliable Auto Repairs When You Need Them Most

Southside Auto Repair has served Lexington drivers with dependable repair and emergency services since 1968. Our third-generation family-owned business has earned its reputation by successfully diagnosing and fixing problems that stump other shops. Every vehicle that enters our facility benefits from our team's 20+ years of experience, particularly with challenging diagnostic issues that confuse other mechanics. We recognize that car troubles aren't just mechanical problems—they interrupt your routine and add unnecessary stress to your life. That's why we focus on delivering precise, comprehensive repairs using quality parts and thorough testing procedures that get your vehicle working properly on the first visit.

Southside Auto Repair stands out through our dedication to honesty and customer education. We provide digital vehicle inspections so you can see exactly what's happening with your car, and our technicians explain issues in simple, clear language. You'll never receive unnecessary repairs or confusing technical terms—just straightforward assessments and skilled workmanship. We proudly serve as the trusted repair partner for the University of Kentucky and collaborate with Federated Car Care and Technet Insurance companies to offer warranty coverage that provides peace of mind. During our courtesy inspections, our thorough approach helps identify both current concerns and potential future issues. For emergency breakdowns or scheduled maintenance, contact us to benefit from three generations of automotive knowledge.
