Bob is awesome, very funny, and knows his cars!! He was and still is my favorite mechanic. My parents have kept business with them for years, and if I were still living here in Minnesota, I would bring my car here. Miss you guys!! You're all top-tier!!

I went to this place after getting many recommendations from neighbors. Always do great and quick work on my vehicle and are always happy to answer questions and explain things in a kind manner.

Lived in the area for seven years and they always provided me with excellent service with great explanations. Very honest and fair.
I recently moved out of the area and I tried a different mechanic. I was able to call up Elwood for my car history and Chris even gave me great insights on the estimates the other place had given me. He took the time out of his day to do that and really went above and beyond. Great customer care.
Ellwood is a Kingfield neighborhood gem!
