Derrick Jones
Said it would take a few days to get done, was able to get it taken care of in 1 1/2 days instead🔥 I have been here before with my 3 series. This was my first time bringing in my f02 7 series. I learned a lot more about my car just from them being able to take a look at it haha. Before it was driving like it was congested, and running on 6 cylinders. Now it sounds louder, shifts faster, and can breathe so much better. 10/10 would recommend 💪🏽

I was looking for a place other than the dealership to service my BMW X3. After reading the google reviews for Mike Johns Imports I decided to try them out. Let me just say they live up to their 5 star google review. They’re professional, friendly and provide excellent customer service.
Steven Langdon
They are magnificent! I love that I can use a loaner vehicle while my car is being service. They accommodated to all the needs; so I would not miss any work days or tennis matches that my daughter plays. Thanks very much!
E Phillips
I found Mike Johns imports online when we purchased a Mini Cooper through a online service and needed to get the vehicle inspected before our 7 day window for returning was up. They were able to get us scheduled immediately and gave a through, detailed list of all items needing to be fixed in order for our car to be deemed a good purchase. They were willing and able to work with the warranty company to get all those items covered for repair with very little out of pocket cost to our family, which we were beyond appreciative of them doing. Sam is amazing and shows that he loves his job.He is happy to answer any and all questions we had about the process of getting our car fixed. Highly recommended.
Frank Glover II
Their stated moto is "honesty and integrity with the best trained technicians ". So far that has been true. Took my car and gave me a real assessment. I have a two post lift in my garage and normally do this type of work myself, however I am too busy this month. The things their inspection found were issues I was aware of and a couple I suspected. Prices are better than dealer. I know they used to be BMW certified, can't imagine they no longer are.
Kyler Hagan
I cannot say enough good things about this business! Paul, Sam, and Brad were so patient and helped me out so much! I had to get my BMW towed there and they offered me a loaner while it was getting fixed! They are super nice and will bend over backwards for their customers! Mike John’s is definitely the only place I’ll take my car in the Louisville area, no doubt! I highly recommend!

I was referred to Mike Johns from a friend and after wasting my money at the dealer I wish I had known about Mike Johns sooner. Not only were they super accommodating to my schedule but the work was flawless. They communicate thoroughly with no surprises. They fixed everything the BMW dealership messed up and made my sons car safe and road ready. The prices are very fair and the staff is second to none! I will definitely be using them for all of my BMW repairs! Huge thank you to Paul and his son for everything! You all are awesome!
