Our Story
Four Decades of Neighbors Trusting Us With Their Cars
Jr's Automotive Repair has been a fixture at 1130 E 15th Street since 1986. What started as one mechanic's shop has grown into a trusted name in Owensboro — led today by Maurice Drury Jr. and a tight crew who treat your vehicle like it's their own.
We're big enough to handle real repairs and small enough that you talk to the person actually turning the wrench. That's why so many Daviess County families have used us for generations.
