Work at Certified Auto Service

We are a veteran-owned, community-focused shop in Crestwood, KY. We hire people who take pride in their work, treat clients with honesty, and want to be part of something that actually means something to the people we serve.

A Shop That Treats You Like a Professional

We have built a culture around honesty, respect, and doing the job right. That applies to how we treat our clients and how we treat each other.

Monday–Friday Only

8:00am–5:15pm with a lunch break. No weekends, no evenings. We built the schedule around having a life outside of work.
