I had called my dealership and they couldn't get me in for 5 weeks for a strange noise. I was able to make an appointment with Ulmer's and the repair was completed within a day. Now I feel a lot safer driving my car.

Ulmer's is one of the very few Auto care businesses I've done business with that conducts itself with integrity and stands behind the services it provides. I've been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and they consistently outshine the competition because they value their customers and stand behind their work. I recommend you give them a chance to prove it to you by scheduling your next service appointment today.

Went in for a brake check, nothing that they could fix, only charged me to take a look, very professional and friendly. They have a courtesy shuttle to take you home and pick you up when your cars finished, awesome bonus. Would definitely take my car here again.

Where do I even begin?! I’ve been loyal for almost 20 years to a mechanic on the west side. However after moving to Anderson, it just wasn’t working to keep driving so far. A neighbor referred us and knowing I was so nervous promised that they were trustworthy and I would love as much as our old place. He was RIGHT! I already had the list of items to be taken care of the first time I took to Ulmers. The diagnostic list they gave me matched perfectly. The pricing was almost exactly the same. The convenience of being so close to home, the customer service being updated every step of the way and work performed couldn’t be beat. I was very hesitant to switch but now am happy to say that I’ve found someone we trust just as much. We recently needed significant work done again and once again, I was more than impressed start to finish. Cannot say enough about this place. Don’t overthink it, just call!

Here's the long and short of it: I trust these guys. I've had a couple minor repairs and a couple major repairs at Ulmer's Anderson. The advice they offer makes sense; they provide detailed estimates; and then they do the work right the first time. I'm a satisfied customer.

Five star service every time. Expect the best, get the best, every time. Did I mention fair pricing………every time. Nothing is more frustrating than to return your car to the mechanic the next day because it wasn’t fixed. I’ve been there. Not at Ulmers, in - out fast with a free loaner….. wait for it…….every time. Thanks guys, David Stricker

Had an issue with another place for oil change, they said that something was cracked and they would not be able to perform the service. Ulmer's looked it over and confirmed that they couldn't find anything wrong with it and recommended just to go ahead with the oil change. I wouldn’t consider going here for oil changes if it didn't take so long. If I have anything greater than an oil change though, I will definitely be using them again.

Ulmers is great; good, honest, fast service. I was visiting family in town when my car battery died. I couldn’t find a shop nearby with the battery I needed until I reached out to Ulmers. They had it in stock, the price was fair, they got the work done in a couple of hours & even made a suggestion for an engine repair to have done when I got back home. They also pointed out that the battery AAA put in a couple of years ago was not appropriate for my vehicle, so now I know how to check future replacement batteries are done correctly.

We have used Ulmer's Auto for many years (35+) -- back to when they only had one shop on Salem Rd. They are honest, efficient, effective, knowledgeable and friendly.
