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…

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...

Been using south elm for over 15 years and won’t go anywhere else. Best mechanics around
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 .
This was a good experience getting car fixed, honest people. I would advise anyone needing honest repairs to go here!

Sean and Kevin are courteous, professional and friendly. Their work is always beyond reproach. This is the only place my wife and I take our Volvos for service
Service is always top notch, honest with fair prices. I trust them with all of my vehicles.
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!…
The guys at South Elm Auto are both knowledgeable and friendly as well as fairly priced. I 100% recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable abs affordable auto repair shop.
