This is a unique review because I want to give them 5 stars for as much as they did NOT do as they did do. They did do a great job fully evaluating my concern and bringing up a few items of note on the complimentary inspection. They did NOT push me to fix things that were still within mileage and acceptable limits, instead telling me how much more mileage and wear I had before any of those repairs would be recommended. Came away feeling informed and that I would come back to get my car serviced there again!

I usually do as many mechanical repairs as I can. After replacing struts, control arms and lower control arms you need an alignment. I took my Honda Ridgeline in for that. They were able to get me in the next day. After alignment they test drove the truck. I received a text with photos of other areas of concern. No heavy handed sales pitch, just recommendations. I asked for a quote for replacing the front axles per their photos. A competitive quote and a quick appointment brought the truck back to them the next day. I noticed a shimmy at highway speeds and returned to the shop. Two mechanics worked diligently to diagnose the problem as missing wheel weights and an out of balance wheel. They took the truck on three test rides to assure the truck was right. There was no charge for the second diagnosis and wheel balance. Folks, that’s as good as it gets repairing a vehicle. I may change my habit of doing my own repairs.

I sent my Land Rover in for a repair. The shop did a diagnostic investigation at no cost, and even though they determined they couldn’t fix the problem, they directed me to a group that could. I had a great experience.

I cannot thank Ulmer's enough for helping my wife and I through a difficult situation. Driving back to Kentucky from Boston, we broke down in OH and were towed to the Montgomery location late Sunday evening based on a recommendation from a friend that lives in Cincinnati. I called them at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning to let them know my truck was in their lot and we were stranded at a nearby hotel. They diagnosed the problem (bad starter), got the part over to the shop, and we were up and running at 11:00 a.m. They even picked us up at the hotel in their shuttle. Wonderful people and exceptional service!!!

I had an amazing time here! I was stranded in the area while on a job search over an hour from home and my usual mechanic. Called around and some how lucked into finding ulmers. The owner specifically helped me out in diagnosing the car. I had a double misfire and was not safe to drive home. He squeezed me in and got me looked at. Ultimately buying parts for a Saab requires that parts be shipped and it takes a while. So he hooked me up with a simple temporary fix and sent me on my way. He answered all my questions and showed AMAZING customer service. And the best part is I was broke 22 year old in a desperate situation rather than taking advantage they got me home safe for FREE. Now I’ve accepted a job and plan on moving near the area and I can’t wait to call them my new mechanics!

Best experience I’ve had at a shop.. EVER! Jen and Jeff gave me exceptional service and kept me in the loop with how my car was doing throughout the whole process. They provided me with a loaner car to drive during the whole process and were always available when I had questions/concerns. I would HIGHLY suggest Ulmers for any work needed done. They were honest and timely and my car is running great now! 10/10!!

I’ve been going to Donovan’s Specialty Auto Service for the past few years and I’m so pleased with their work and customer service I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Ever since our daughter’s 2008 Volvo steering wheel belt snapped unexpectedly the night before she was to drive it to NC, I knew I had to have only the best servicing this vehicle. The Volvo is 15 years old but it still runs great thanks to Donovan’s. The car goes back and forth between OH and NC for college countless times and I no longer worry about it not making it. Donovan’s makes sure the vehicle is road ready and safe for my daughter to use in her travels. I wouldn’t take our cars anywhere else. And the customer service is top notch! They are always available to answer my questions, and I’m one with many. I appreciate the work that they do and would highly recommend Donovan’s to anyone looking for a reliable automotive service provider.

Good morning, I drive a Jaguar and it was in need of some repairs, me and my husband tried to take it to the Jaguar Dealership hear in Cincinnati, but after waiting 20 minutes in the shop with all the employees just letting us stand at the front desk, we decided not to use them. Now to the good part, we have always been a customer of Donovan's in Columbia township, but was unaware of Donovan's Specialty Shop, but as always, they are an amazing group of people, I love everything about this shop, and on top of that they got the job done, my vehicle is performing like it's a new vehicle after getting it back. My Jaguar was in a bad way, but they fixed it and like I said it is running like it's new again. Thanks again for everything, C. Knox-Lee

Donovan Tire Specialty is servicing cars in the old Nordic Motors space. The change in owners made me a little nervous because I loved Nordic motors. What I found was the same great service, friendly staff and good communication with me, someone who loves my car but doesn’t understand the technical parts of repair. The service was clearly explained & my questions were answered. When agreeing to the recommended services online-great feature btw, I felt confident in the repair plan. My Volvo C-30 will be back to Donovan-Specialty next time any service is required.Do yourself & your car a favor and check-out Donovan-Specialty!Photo for reference-not my car.
