I have been going to South elm automotive for over 20 years Always a great experience Outstanding establishment
Great shop, estimates on point, outstanding staff. I highly recommend South Elm to anyone looking for a mechanic.
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
Always pleasant service and great work on my car. We trust Kevin and his staff!!
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!
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…
The people who work there are an absolute pleasure to be around. Very funny, very professional and personable.

If you are looking for great service you need to bring your car here. Worked with Kevin who is an expert with Volvo's. Fixed our steering rack and installed a new timing belt.
Excellent and reliable services my Vechicle state inspection was inspected with the time framework that was said, I highly recommend South Elm Automotive.
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…
My service experience at South Elm Automotive was second to none. Sean and his team are professional, friendly and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure my Lady Rover was ready for many more miles of adventure. 100% recommend South Elm for all your automotive service needs.
First time using South Elm I've looking for a trust worthy shop with decent rates. I was happy with the price an the honesty I got from Sean & Kevin
Highly recommend Kevin of S. Elm Auto & their team. Quick, thorough with utmost quality and integrity. It is a relief to know I will always receive excellent response and service for our Volvos. Personal service at its best here.
