Elmwood Certified Auto Service

It’s so nice to work with mechanics that don’t give you a lot of B.S., are honest with you and know what they’re doing. Jimmy and his guys found a problem with my car that several other places could not, and they followed up the work at no cost. I would recommend any friend/​family member to Elmwood Certified Auto Service!

Have been a happy customer of Elmwood for many years. They are the most reliable, honest and easy auto service business that I have ever dealt with. very customer focused with honest estimates and fair pricing.

The car repair industry is just one basic rip-​off. The problem is that the industry is too opaque. As a consumer, you don’t know how cars work so you don’t know what really is wrong with the car. And, the mechanic can completely lie to you because everything is underneath the hood. You can’t ever confirm what the mechanic is telling you. Is it surprising that auto mechanics lie their butt off?
But, let me tell you that Dennis is the one of the most honest mechanic there are. I am serious. For example, once, my side mirror got damaged. Instead of replacing it, he glued it and just charged me $ 10 for the glue! Other times, if there is a part that’s needed, he’ll call around if the dealership is totally ripping you off. Dennis is a total nice guy.
I’ve been going here for years. Unfortunately, I moved about 2 years ago and I try to bring my car there but it’s difficult since I’ve moved so far away. (Takes me 40 minutes.) But, we need more Elmwood Auto’s in the world.
And, for Nancy’s review that states that Elmwood Auto ripped her off. I can tell you that it must be utter BS. There is no way that Dennis would have cheated her. She might not be lying but perhaps she’s completely delusional? Look at it this way. Elmwood is highly rated on other sites. I don’t mean just a few good reviews… I mean tons of good reviews after good reviews after good reviews. Look it up.

This is an update to my previous review. I own a 2000 Nissan Sentra SE and Dennis has done an excellent job taking care of my car this past year.
It’s running better than it has in years.
He has continued to provide honest and fast service.
I’ve had my shocks, alignment, balancing, and brakes done within the past year and the work has always been good and the estimates reasonable. He also uses NAPA parts.
While waiting for the work to be done, I also see how he interacts with the other customers and you can see that he makes sure they understand the work, the time, and the cost involved. Most of them actually have been with Dennis for years, praising the quality of his work. i keep hearing «we wouldn’t take our cars any place else».
