Behind every dashboard light or strange sound is a story, and we’re here to read it. At Barnes Auto Service, our diagnostics and ADAS services in Louisville, KY, are powered by technology but guided by the values that built our shop: honest communication, top-tier service, and a commitment to your safety.

Finding the Fix:Why Accurate Diagnostics Matter Most
Modern vehicles rely on hundreds of sensors, modules, and systems to function properly. From your ignition timing and fuel efficiency to your emissions and electrical systems, each component depends on precise communication and performance.
When a warning light comes on or your car starts acting “off,” our vehicle diagnostics allow us to read trouble codes, identify root causes, and deliver accurate repair recommendations, saving you time, money, and frustration.
What is ADAS?
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane departure warning
- Blind spot monitoring
- Forward collision warning
- Automatic emergency braking
- Parking sensors and 360-degree cameras
“The difference between good and great? Just a little extra effort.”
– Biggie Munn
