South Elm Automotive for brakes

Sean knows his land rovers. These guys are awesome!!! Went back last week. I did not have an appointment. He fixed my car on the spot. The repair was $62.00. Probably $1,500 less than the land rover dealer would have charged. If you have ANY Land Rover products go here instead of the dealer! Yet another…
Professional, Kevin explained what needed to be done ( and what didn’t).
By far the most honest shop i have been to. I will not be going anywhere else.
Great independent repair shop! I use them for European and domestic maintenance and repairs, always prompt and professional. Great work at fair prices with OEM parts. Highly recommend
Been using South Elm Auto as our mechanic and have had nothing but good results from the repairs done on our two cars. The work is always done on our vehicles has always been done in a timely manner.
Kevin is so amazing! We recently moved to the area and had no clue who to take our vehicles too when they needed to be looked at for a number of reasons. He’s honest, upfront, and provides great car advice. Highly recommend them. They will be our go-to as long as we are in the area!
Great service, prices, we'll be back Thank you, Joe
South Elm Auto was great and a pleasure. While any auto service feels expensive, I think their prices were good, as auto care plus was charging me several hundred more for the same job. Rear caliper and bumper was replaced in one day. Very friendly and pleasant to talk to, and I'll definitely be coming back when…
All the work done on my car was that exactly what they told me that we’re gonna do. They all have good workmanship in there. I’m very pleased with everything that they do for me. I would recommend them to anybody that has a vehicle domestic or imported.
The best service every time very professional will always take all my cars there.#1
I have been going to South Elm Automotive for twenty years and have nothing but praise for their honesty, friendliness, fair prices, quick turnaround and a willingness to do anything they can to fit in an emergency now and then. Great shop. I 100% recommend!
I won't take my classic Land Rover Defender anywhere else. Sean and his guys are the best. They are thorough and fair. Sean knows more about these trucks than any other mechanic I've been to. There's a reason people ship their trucks to him from all over the US...
We have been going to South Elm for over 15 years back when it was owned by the previous owners, Kevin and JOHN. The same amazing service has continued with the new owners, Kevin and Sean. We have literally saved thousands of dollars and unnecessary work by going to South Elm automotive. Local dealerships report…
Kevin at South Elm Automotive as well as everyone else are wonderful.Everyone is very professional and honest, and anytime I’ve had an issue with my car, they have always done their best to get my car in as soon as possible. My family and I have gone to this mechanic for years, even before the new owners. The new…
South elm auto has a reputation for being one of the most honest and professional car repair shops in New Hampshire so I decided to start taking my Honda Civic type R for all my services . The work they do is head and shoulders above the dealerships and there prices can’t be beat .
Top notch service. Good, honest people
Great quick thorough service. Brake job and new tires completed in under 5 hours.
I recently found South Elm Automotive after a thorough search for an independent mechanic. I lost my previous mechanic of 25 years to retirement. South Elm Auto has met all of my expectations so far. They are knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, good communicators. They offer the convenience of loaner cars as well!…
Professional operation. Accurate estimates, on time repairs, and never upsells.
I have brought my vehicles and my Dad's vehicles, Volvos and a Chevy Silverado to South Elm Street for state inspections and various repairs for exhaust work, check engine light and brake work. I have been very satisfied with my experience working with Kevin and Sean. They run a very professional shop with fair…
Great shop! Kevin and Sean are great to work with. They are honest, trustworthy and very helpful. They do good work and keep the customer-well informed. I highly recommend South Elm Automotive.
These wonderful honest people have taken care of my vehicles for many years. They are experienced and excellent. It’s so hard to find people you can trust. I am so grateful to them for taking care of my vehicles and my family’s. Including a 1976 Ford Bronco!
