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!!

I had my daughter bring her vehicle to Ulmer’s after receiving an inspection report from another garage to get a second opinion.As it turns out, the other garage’s diagnosis was incorrect, and Ulmer’s nailed it.We got the problem fixed and at a very reasonable price.I use Ulmer’s for our company vehicles, our personal vehicles, and have always received top-notch service.The communication is awesome and their commitment from to quality repairs are unmatched and they are the garage that I trust 100%.Steve

I came out of the Krogers in Milford and my car would not start. (I tried a jump and with a battery charger) The battery died after 90000 miles. The next day I asked ulmers about it . They saved me a tow by using their more powerful charger , put a new battery in and performed the other maintenance that I knew was due ( brakes, transmission and heating and coolant checks) and it was finished that day with dollar amount they quoted. If I had wanted they would have delivered to my workplace here in Milford.I trust these guys with my car for everything.

Took car in for check engine light and while I wish the fix had been cheaper (not Ulmers fault) I always trust Ulmer’s to be fair in price and professional in repairs and maintenance. We’ve been taking our aging cars here as long as Ulmers has been in Milford and plan to continue to do so.

Great friendly customer service. I was getting my daughter's car ready for her driving lessons and the front end was vibrating. Their bump to bump inspection report was a great snapshot of everything that needed repairs including tires. They got it done quickly and stand behind their work. I had one small issue and they were quick to fix it. There was no charge because it was related to the repair. Would highly recommend them.
