Great experience. They give you a good report for your vehicle and will go over everything that may come up with your car. No surprises and the service is great.

I cannot say enough about how great this shop is. Dave is one of the kindest and caring people that you will meet. He genuinely wants to do what is best for the customer, which is very rare especially when someone is not very knowledgeable about cars. He will also take time to educate the customer about the problem getting fixed and is extremely patient. He has my business, and he should have yours.

Ulmers did a wonderful time fixing my car. There was a lot that my car needed and they ensured it was all completed at the best price available. Dave even shuttled me home the first day and when my repairs went past that they provided me a loaner. A rare find in customer service, quality of work, and price.

I was probably like a lot of people when I came to car care: driving my car until something breaks and then scrambling to get it fixed. My wife, on the other hand is a fierce proponent of just taking her car to the dealership for service. In 2020 I found a car that I really like and began thinking about how to extend the life of the thing by --I know this sounds novel-- doing preventative maintenance. I knew Ulmer's had a good reputation so when I came time to have my brakes replaced I gave them a shot. Great experience. Shortly thereafter I stopped in for new tires. Another great experience. So when it came time to get major deferred maintenance done on my car, it seemed right to stick with Ulmer's. Their pricing is fair, they have to car done when they say they'll have it done, and they ever give you a courtesy car to drive while they work on your car. I hope they're around for a long time!

First-rate company. Always responsive and honest with their estimates and completes work when they say they will. Pricing is fair and the service is high-quality. I’d be hard-pressed to go anywhere else for work on my cars.

I was ready for that same ol neighborhood type feel that I got when it was Al's auto owned by Sean. I got a battery replacement. My battery itself was $250.00, and just to test my system with their diagnostic setup was $134.00. They gave me a coupon, which I did appreciate. The rest was time and tax. Without that coupon, it would have been a $500.00 bill for a battery swap. I know times are hard, and inflation is bad, but wow! By the way, it was 10 degrees, and I don't have heat in my garage or, of course, I would have done it. This was a case of lazy and cold that cost me. If you got the money, it's local and conveniently located.

I love this place! They’re respectful, thorough and don’t try to upsell me every time I bring my car in. If they discover a problem, they explain it, send pictures, and then let me decide if I want to address it at that time or not. What a breath of fresh air!

Totally satisfied with the service we get for our Honda Odyssey at Ulmer's Auto Care. Not only do they fix any maintenance we need but also give a complete bumper to bumper check. We won't go anywhere else.

I've been having the same issue for over 2 years. I took it to the Honda dealership and they charged me for a diagnostic test but didn't find the problem. Ulmer's Auto Care found the problem and fixed it. They also provided me a loaner care free of charge to use while they were working on my vehicle.

2006 Mustang. I Had them inspect the beast and they found something early on that was pretty detrimental, could’ve kept going and charge me a full price for inspection. It Was going to be $500 something but they stopped there and called me and let me know and saved me over $400. Which I didn’t have a problem paying for. I needed a Thorough inspection with honest answers. Even to extent to losing money because of it I would say that’s integrity. No, this is the definition of integrity I think? Would definitely recommend PS they also gave me a loaner for three days which helped out a lot!great place.

Great service, couldn't find the electrical problem or maybe they did and didn't charge me.It starts again and the battery is staying charged. while I had it there they changed the oil and new tires.(They were due to be changed) And told me of some items that are due soon and I will be taking my SUV there for service to have these services completed.

Overall great experience! Very kind & honest; Dave helped me set my appointment over the phone & was there to assist day of for my routine oil change. I love that they will send you a text link of their inspection and include pictures & notes! Was an all day process but I had no where to be & understood considering it’s a small shop. I would definitely recommend!

OMG...I was so grateful and pleased with the respect, kindness and awesome service that I received from Deer Park Ulmer's and Dave.After leasing for over 20 years, decided to buy and was very leary being a single, senior female who knows nothing about cars. I was so thankful for the honesty, courtesy and care taken to make my car drive like new plus I had a "free loaner". By the way I was expecting a huge bill but I was pleasantly surprised with the final cost of parts and labor. It will be my pleasure to recommend Ulmer's to my friends, family and acquaintances for any car repair needs.Thank you and God Bless!Gerri Robinson

Quick service, great communication. You may be able to find cheaper service, but you get what you pay for. Ulmer's team are true professionals who know what they're doing. The repair to my Volvo XC/60 was somewhat complex, but the repairs were done expeditiously and they dropped the car off at my house.

Max and his crew are amazing. They do a fantastic job! They keep you updated! They'll go over your entire vehicle and let you know what needs to be taken care of immediately and what you can schedule later and give you an estimated cost. They supply a loaner vehicle if they have to keep your vehicle. You cannot go wrong with Ulmers Auto Care in Deer Park!

I was out of town in Cincinnati and had a fault light come up on dashboard- Service electronic throttle control. Forced me to rent a vehicle to drive back home and leave in cinci for service. Max so helpful to escalate diagnosing and resolving problem. They could have taken advantage but did not. They resolved my fault promptly and charged me a fair price as I know they put time into diagnosing. You can trust them to professionally service your vehicle. Thanks Max!

I’ll start by saying I know little to nothing about cars. When I look for a shop to take my vehicle to, I look for honest people that are willing to explain what’s wrong with my car to me like I’m 5 years old.Ulmer’s (specifically Dave) was able to check those boxes for me. Up front and honest about what was wrong with the vehicle and didn’t try to get me to have work done I didn’t need. He laid things out for me so I knew what the issue was, what needed to be done now and what could wait.Their location is convenient to where I live and the pricing was fair. I’ve found my new home for all of my auto care needs.

They also provided a courtesy vehicle that saved me from either having to call off work or spend an extra couple hundred dollars on a rental. Thanks, again, guys!

Ulmer's in Deer Park is the sort of place I'd feel comfortable sending my grandmother to. Their honesty and friendliness is so refreshing! I brought them a 2019 Tahoe that I planned to buy, asking them to run a vehicle inspection to ensure everything was in good working order. Their inspection was thorough...the issues they found were all tagged with the appropriate level of concern, everything from needing new wiper blades (which I didn't care about) to leaking shocks (a major repair which helped me negotiate a better price on my purchase). Dave, Max, and their techs are all pros but their ability to isolate what's important versus what's minor is the quality I appreciate the most. I found my trusted mechanics for the foreseeable future!
