I switched over to Ulmer's in Milford almost 15 years ago after I having bad experiences at two…read moredifferent mechanics in town. They were almost half the price of my last mechanic to do all 4 brakes on my truck. The staff is friendly too. I can't crawl under vehicles anymore so it's a relief to find an honest and reliable mechanic so close to home. I like that they send a link to your phone with the break down of the repairs and the pictures so you can tell they're not upselling.

Knowledgeable and welcoming staff. Had my truck in for some repairs last year and the process was…read moreeasy. Reserved my appointment online and dropped my truck off first thing in the morning. The lot is small and located at a somewhat funky intersection but I was able to double park once I verified with the staff. Recommend this shop as they were honest about what repairs were worth fixing and what could either wait or wasn't worth the cost. I appreciate this persective where other shops often upsell. Will be bringing other vehicles here in the future.

Excellent service. They are thorough and caring mechanics. I got them (specifically Phil) as a…read morerecommendation from a trusted friend for some car woes. Not only did they take good care of me, they also let me know what might need to be done soon and what could be put off a little while. In my case, I needed a timing belt done on my Honda Civic. In the 2005 model, it's a good idea to get the water pump done and save on labor costs later and they also replaced instead of just inspected some of the internals where most places try to cut end costs to the customer there. In the end, their price was more than fair as compared to several other local options. Needless to say, I'll use their services again.

Be aware that their $59.00 bumper to bumper coupon may cost you more dependent on the make of your…read morecar. Because my VW Tiguan took six quarts of oil I ended up paying $75.83 for this bumper to bumper service. I have no problem with the quality of the service, but I do have a problem with the deceptive nature of the coupon. No where on the coupon does it state a limit of quarts or coupon is only good for up to five quarts. This reeks of "bait and switch" and they should make the language on their coupon state it is only good for five quarts.

They removed and replaced 2 transmissions incorrectly fixed a flywheel causing my clutch to be burnt up resulting in them having to get an entire new clutch for the car. They told me to drive on a flywheel where any gear it would slip and not stay in gear, causing unknown damage to my brand new transmission from mazda japan I had waited 3 and a half MONTHS FOR. You read that right. They choose the slowest shipping option and made me wait that long.. I recored the tech in the drive saying that the slipping was normal for a new flywheel....they will lie. They will decieve. They will judge you on appearance. They left my car with 3 miles of gas and the first time they swapped my transmission my interior piece was still hanging off. They are a nightmare to go to and this was all WARRANTY WORK for my maxcare carmax warranty. They should've never got my business. Be like me, stay smart and avoid scummy business like these!!! Worst employees I've ever seen in person!

Donovan's is a trusted local business and we would take our vehicles to them for any cause (both…read moreDonovan's Express and the main location in Pleasant Ridge). When they discovered an additional issue right before they returned my vehicle, they did not charge for labor and even gave a discount on the part. When my AC recharge did not work the first time due to an underlying issue discovered later, they also did not charge for the failed AC recharge. The workers are always kind, patient, and explain issues thoroughly and carefully. They never act hurried or impatient, and when an issue arises on their end, they are apologetic and strive to make things right. My father listened to the Dale Donovan car show on Cincinnati's local radio station for years. We love supporting this local business! Shout out to Wayne for being so sweet and kind.
