Visiting Turning Wrenches European Auto Repair, Louisville, KY

Auto Pros on the Road puts the Babcox Media team on location in shops across the USA. This episode is sponsored by Autolite.

In Episode 5 of Auto Pros On The Road, the team visits Levi Johnson, owner of Turning Wrenches in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 2013, Turning Wrenches has been the Louisville area’s go-to experts for European auto service and repair but the shop’s passion for cars has been around much longer.

Levi Johnson talking to the Babcox Media video team at his shop.

Johnson began his automotive career early. At 16 years old, he found his passion for cars working on a VW Beetle given to him by his father. After years of working for various European and German shops and dealerships, as well as helping people out of his personal garage, he decided to open his own shop and Turning Wrenches was born.

Independent shops have always worked with local OE dealerships to service their customers’ cars. When aftermarket parts are not available, only OE parts apply. When independent shops lack the diagnostic capability to solve a problem, sometimes the OE dealer does. IAM shops working on ADAS calibration or embedded software challenges can benefit from OE Dealer service and diagnostic equipment.
