Elmwood Certified Auto Service

I would highly recommend Elmwood Certified Auto Service! Albert is knowledgeable and explained all repairs needed and safety concerns! The prompt repairs and maintenance work performed was thorough and now my son’s car runs smoothly. There is nothing like a trustworthy mechanic that explains things to someone who has no understanding of cars! I thank you for your great prices, honesty and peace of mind!

In the years that I've been going there, Elmwood Certified Auto Service has provided first class, professional, honest service to me for my older vehicles. Al keeps them running. And Al, with his friendly staff, keeps at it until the problem is fixed, while limiting extra non-related work, other than providing recommendations that will prevent issues later on.

Al and his team are great. Very honest and great prices. My truck always drives better after having it serviced there. Would recommend.

I had a great experience with Al. He is very knowledgeable and polite. The customer service was outstanding. In highly recommended. As a woman I also felt extremely comfortable.

Very happy with my experiences at this shop, which included an oil leak repair and an exhaust repair for my 2016 BMW. Al is fast and up front about repair options. Payment is easy and your vehicle can be picked up after hours.

Having been a business owner for many years I have allways been leary of auto mechanics...we own businesses your THOUGH N LISTENING PROCES IS A LOT DIFFERENT...HAVE A GOOD UNDESTANDING OF CAR PROBLEMS ..SO MY FIRST TIME THERE I KNEW IF HONESTY WAS TO APPLIED HE WOULD DO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT...N TO MY HAPPY SURPRISE AL DID THE HONEST ROUTE..IAM SAYING SURPRISE BECAUSE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST MECHANICS...GREAT WORK..PRICE..PROFESIONAL SHOP...WILL BE MY PLACE GOING FORWARD...

It was a pleasure doing business with Al. Very polite and professional. Top notch. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family. Thank you!

Al and his team do a great job of servicing our fleet, They're precise, quick, thorough, and honest. From any small repair to major work there's peace of mind knowing it will be fixed correctly.

This is the only location I take my vehicle for service. I trust Al & his team and provides great details in any work that is done on your vehicle.

Fist time at Elmwood Ceritified Auto service: Very satisfied with the service that Al and his Team provided.
My car was brought in over night, Al took a look at it and was diagnosed quickly w/reasonable price, Returned same day, & kept me updated throughout the day!!! 👍(UNLIKE DEALERSHIPS: waiting hours to recieve a call just to inform of issue,car yet not worked on, car ready next day)
Elmwood Certified Auto Service: Great Customer Service, Very honest, knowledgeable, & gives breakdown of service along w/pricing. I honestly found myself a new Automobile Mechanic! Thank You!

Well, Elmwood Certified Auto Service has done it once again!!! I took my car in for engine problems expecting the worst. The next day I braced myself for the bad news of having a major problem with it and to my pleasant surprise it was a couple of coils which came to under $300 for a VW. I know if I'd had gone elsewhere something different would have been wrong and I would have probably shelled out 1k-1.5k. Elmwood is as honest as they come and Al is a joy to work with - very competent. Try them for your next repair need.

After having several bad experiences with other auto repair shops where they tried to rip me off and have me pay for unnecessary repairs, going to Al and his team has been a refreshing experience. Al explains everything perfectly and only suggests repairs that are absolutely necessary. The level of honesty and professionalism at this establishment is unmatched. I’ll never take my car anywhere else. So grateful to have found this place! Highly recommend!

Al and his team were amazing. They diagnosed quickly, repaired and returned the car at a reasonable price and its been running great ever since. Will be taking all our cars to him in the future! Thanks again!
UPDATE: Al worked on our other new car, Subaru Crosstrek, and fixed a wheel bearing problem so quickly around the holidays when we really needed the car fixed quickly. Thanks again for the great service 😀

Came to this shop based on a number of testimonials I read online.

My mother recently went to a meineke and, as they often do with women, they scared her with a bunch of pictures of axles and rust and things. They basically made it seem like the car was a ticking time bomb. I don't know anything about cars so I came here and showed Al the pictures.

Very straightforwardly, he told me it doesn't look like anything wrong and if you don't feel like there's any issue you should just drive it home. I was really happy at his honesty and the fact that he wasn't trying to get one over on me but just to be safe I had him inspect it.

He said nothings wrong at all and he was really disappointed at the practices of other places like the one my mom went to. He seemed genuinely upset that they gave mechanics a bad name.

Anyway, long story short, go here if you want an honest diagnosis of what is or isn't wrong with your car.

I want to recommend Elmwood Certified Auto Service to all that read this review. They are professional, and extremally thorough with diagnosing and repairing every issue I had with my car. The most important thing one looks for in an automobile mechanic is truth, knowledge, and honesty. This is what you will feel and get when taking your automobile to Elmwood Certified. Thanks to all of them who took such good care of my car.

I have been coming here for years. Dennis was the owner before, but now Al have taken over the place. They are always professional, courteous, and honest. They communicate to you about work before they do it and their prices are reasonable. More importantly, they provide quality work. When you use Elmwood Auto, you can feel comfortable that your car will not die on the road. A+++ for this business, highly recommend.

I can trust this business owner to do the necessary repairs on my 2009 Nissan Versa in an expedited manner and at a fair price.

I found my auto repair shop! I have always found it challenging to find an auto repair shop that I could trust would be honest with me, do a great job, and not try to upsell me every step of the way. Al and his crew at Elmwood Certified Auto were fantastic. They worked hard to get my car back on the road as timely as they could. It was a big job and I'm happy to say that I feel safe driving my car again!

It can be nerve wrecking searching for a mechanic in hopes you find someone who is honest. Thankfully, I have found that with this shop. I have been here twice now, and I have received nothing but professionalism and complete honesty, even if it was things I did not want to hear. Even when some repairs are out of my budget, I’m still given great advice on how to go from there. So so thankful!

If you are looking for a great repair shop, Elmwood Certified Auto is the place to go. Al responded quickly to my online appointment request, ordered and replaced one tire, patched another, and had my car back on the road in a day and half. Highly recommend this shop!
