Excellent service
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
Great service at a fair price!
Best garage in town! Been going there for years. Very VERY trustworthy. Kevin treats everyone like they’re family.
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!
Folks, if you are in need of any type of auto repair or service please call Kevin and his team at South Elm Auto. Great service. Reasonable price. Loaner available if needed. Been taking both of our cars there for years.
It is my firm belief that Kevin Lawler is an excellent and gracious businessman who truly cares about his clients. My mechanic Sean did an awesome job with every part of his task on my vehicle it now drives like a brand new vehicle and it's a decade old. I will definitely be back anytime my vehicle needs mechanics…
Great service, prices, we'll be back Thank you, Joe
I told all my friends about how amazing my experience was at South Elm Automotive… they are so helpful, honest, and affordable. Thank you!
Best auto garage in town! They treat you very personally and certainly would never take at advantage.
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.
Exceptional trustworthy service.
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...
Prompt, courteous and a pleasure to do business with!

Been using south elm for over 15 years and won’t go anywhere else. Best mechanics around
My headlight did not pass inspection. South Elm fixed it within 30 minutes. Last year, I brought my BMW Z4 to South Elm to have a full maintenance check that included new brakes and other general maintenance. They were efficient and the price was reasonable. Very friendly staff and top notch establishment..plain and simple!
