Had my car in for maintenance and oil change. Everyone was very courteous and professional. Went through inspection with me and shared possible later maintenance needs. Great experienceSecond trip because of what I call soft steering they diagnosed and corrected the problem! They are consistently very courteous and informative when talking to me. Appreciate their offer of transport home while they had my car. Would certainly use them again

My 1996 Ram 1500 needed some maintenance. Ulmer's took the time to explain issues and options for each repair needed on my older truck. The suggested what needed immediate attention and what could wait. They provided estimates for each item as well. They did a great job and even repaired items under warranty.

Have been using Ulmer’s for several of our cars for the last few years. They are great to work with from getting scheduled, to letting you know what needs fixed immediately and what doesn’t need immediate attention now but may down the road so you have choices. Their prices are good for the excellent work they do, they offer coupons to save you money, and do great work.

These guys are the best. Had several error codes show up on my Cadillac CTS. Rather than replace the module, they dug in and found the codes just required a software update- which they did. Saved me big $$$.

They did a thorough job fixing my van, but what was supposed to be 1 day turned out to be 3. They advertised "free loaner car, but wouldn't give me loaner until day 3.

As every experience they were on target with diagnosing the problem. Service was ahead of predicted completion. Contacted me with outcome of diagnosis and cost of repairs. Took payment over the phone so I could pick it up after hours. Friendly service. I have been doing business with Ulmer’s for 50 years and will continue for eternity !

I took my SUV in for an oil service, full inspection and window wiper replacement. Service was wonderful as usual. The manager Doug Young, and his technicians were all great! Answered my every question, looked over my car, and got me in and out in no time.I find them to be very knowledgeable and honest. So I'm proud to be a regular customer when it comes to servicing my vehicle.

I’ve never had great experiences with mechanical work. It was always a dreaded experience. I chose Ulmers because they had a great reputation in the community and man am I happy. Huge shout out to Jason and his team in Milford. They really went out of their way to take care of me , my truck and just having great customer service. I will refer anyone who asks for a quality, detail oriented mechanic to Ulmers. They are the best! Thanks gents.- Austin

Solid independent business that provides good auto services. Note that routine services that dealers do in 1-hour usually take much longer as they service ALL makes rather than a single brand, thus parts need to be obtained. And it's a much smaller facility with fewer service bays, but I'm much more trusting in opinions and diagnostics here than at the mega dealerships. I trust Ulmers.....so far.

After my Check Engine light came on I became alarmed and took my car to Ulmer's Auto Care in Milford, Ohio hoping to learn the cause of the problem. Unfortunately, it turned out that my car had more than one.Doug advised me that he needed to order some parts - something which delayed getting my 1994 E 320 Mercedes Benz back as quickly as I hoped. It was my first experience with what turned out to be a supply chain problem.Since I picked up my car it has been a "smooth ride." After driving my low mileage car in local traffic as well as on I-71 and I-275 for the past week I'm happy to say I once again feel safe.With establishing a long term relationship in mind, I plan on taking my car back to Ulmer's.BTW, I really liked the fact that Ulmer's has a "Vehicle Page" - something which allowed me to learn the progress being made on repairing my car without my having to make a phone call. While I haven't experienced this kind of tracking mechanism in the past, it's an amenity which I think speaks volumes about Ulmer's customer care mentality.

Brought in for oil & fluid change. Mentioned broken dipstick. Turned out they had already worked on it. They kept it until a tech could find the right part at a junkyard since the dealer no longer stocked the part. They charged me nothing for that repair. I couldn't be happier, that is real service and honesty!

Ulmers has taken vg care of my car for 30 years...actually more then that when you consider I had relocated for 11 years; then returned to Cincinnati. YES, I'm 65 and Greg and crew have taken good care of my cars since the late 1970s!

Ulmer's is truly the best auto care shop around! I won't go anywhere else. There has been a scheduling issue a couple of times, but they always took care of me anyway. Customer service is top notch and they won't try to upsell or make you repair things you don't need!Highly recommend!!
