“Shimmy over bumps at high speed.” That is what I told them. They pinpointed the problem. They fixed the problem and even added a coupon to the job to reduce my cost. Doug did a great job communicating the issue and the progress! He also identified some near future work required so I can budget for those repairs. Did I mention the nearly new loaner car they provided while they fixed mine. Great people! Great place! You cannot go wrong with Ulmer’s in Milford!!

Had a bad experience at another auto place. Everyone on facebook recommended Ulmer's Auto Care. They found out what was really going on and fixed it.

Always professional and polite. The staff only recommends repairs that are necessary.. The "Bumper to Bumper" service is like taking your car for a wellness visit at your physician's office, only it is more affordable!

The staff at Ulmer's always communicate well with me regarding he issues of my vehicle and easy to work with around my work schedule.

I needed an oil change during the Covid-19 pandemic. I was very happy to be able to schedule a pick up and drop off with Ulmer’s Auto Care. As usual, the communication and service were great. I had my car locked with the key inside the morning of my service. Upon their arrival, I just used my key fob to unlock the car for them so there was no need for person interaction or touch. I was contacted by phone when the service was complete with an explanation of the service and payment made by phone. They sent the guys right up to drop off my car. My car was sanitized (as stated in their current services) and returned to my driveway with the key locked inside, per my request. I have been a loyal customer and will continue to be one.

My car broke down away from home. I turned immediately to Ulmer Care Care in Milford to do the repair. They are trustworthy and highly skilled which is why I decided to have my car towed there. They gave me superb service during a time when many businesses are closed. They were there for me to solve my car issue. The icing on the cake was that they delivered my car and gave me a big discount! I gave the guys a tip. Great job to all the personnel at Ulmers Car Care.

Great customer service. Good prices. I am a car guy owning exotic cars and I built racing engines in my youth. I am not very trusting of service shops. After two visits to Ulmers with one of my Jeeps, I trust them completely. No other auto service place has earned that in over 40 years of car ownership. Great job!

The staff here is always friendly and courteous. I'm disabled and have a scooter that I use for work, they help put it in the loaner car IN THE RAIN. (no complaints) I travel from Colerain to Milford to come here.

Alex, one of Ulmer's managers, always gives me great service. Of course all of them have a reputation of excellence. I have brought my cars and trucks there since I moved here from Dayton OH. My son and grandchildren also use Ulmer`s for mechanical work.

Great people and very professional. I feel like they are my partner in ensuring long-term value for my vehicles. I've been going there for many years!!

Not only is Ulmer's the friendliest place, but also the most honest! I brought my car in because the dash lights weren't working. Turns out, I had unintentionally dimmed them! They could have pretended they "fixed" them and charged me. But not Ulmers! There was no charge. The. Best.

My wife and I have been using Ulmer’s ever since we came to town to service our two vehicles. They have done all of our routine service and brakes and always provide great work, extremely friendly, and always give us service updates on things we need right away, or could wait till the next visit. They are on top of their game and a great local business to our community!

Great service and fair pricing. I never feel like they're charging me for something I don't need.

Steve Smith

I had to have some routine maintenance performed on my car. I moved to Milford two years ago, had noticed Ulmer's, and thought I'd give them a try. They are a local business and their lot was always packed. A good sign, right? From the first call to schedule my appointment, to the drop off, to pickup, all first rate. Each person I spoke with was great. They did the work they said they would. The car was ready when they said it would be. And the pricing was fair. Can't ask for more than that. They are now my "go-to" for work on my car.

Deborah Langdon

Friendly and helpfull staff. Took car in for rattle, they found rock in hubcap. Took rock out..no charge. Also brought in car, for under carriage noise, was told rattling part still good and I could wait, until noise got louder before fixing, if so needed. Honest and dependable service.

Loved the shuttle service worked perfect for me a mother of 2 young ones. First time there very nice service was great detailed report with pictures loved that. My only dislike was estimated service time was until 2 didn't get car back until 3 hours after. But I would recommend to others.

Michael Michna

18:07 04 Jun 19

Very honest and reliable. I took my car in expecting to spend over $1,000. Ulmers looked over my car and determined it was a much smaller fix. I love the loaner car program, which saved my a headache of trying to coordinate rides etc.

Dennis Camp

Been going to Ulmer's since 2006, nearly 13 years. I've never had a problem. Alex is great in the Milford office and I love that they take pictures of your car now, so that you can see everything yourself.

Great response and service. Very easy to deal with and came in well below internet’s suggested price for same service. Nice to have a car repair to trust.

Olivia Randolph

The shuttle service was very convenient -- dropped me off at my house and picked me up when they were all done! Thorough description of their inspection via website including measurements and when to get the car serviced again. I got the Bumper to Bumper service and would gladly get it again from them!

Incredibly thorough. Very detailed. They don't try to upsell. Very professional, timely, and responsive. They also warranty their work for 3 years / 36,000 miles. Pricing is very reasonable. I will never go anywhere else now. Got their info off Angie's list and their reviews are glowing. Check them out.

Confident Feeling to Know That My Care Care Specialists are Close BY.Each year I am pleased to know that the maintenance of my car will be professionally taken care of by Ulmer's Auto Care Center in Milford. Their reminders and follow up help keep me focused on the best care for my car that is possible. The service that they provide is reasonably priced and professionally administered. They are truly a care care gem right in our own back yard.

Jordan Barhorst

12:23 30 Sep 18

Fantastic experience! I brought my car in, not really knowing what was wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic, and sent me a cool little website with a run down of everything, with recommended fixes. From there they worked with my budget to decide what needed fixed and what could wait. Will definitely be bringing my card here for a long time!

Michael Michna

08:32 13 Sep 18

Very professional and quick.I called in the morning expecting for them to be backed up. I was told that they could probably look at it today if I could get it over there. I told them that I had to set up a rental car., they said don’t worry we have a loaner car you can use. Great Experience and I’ve used them enough that I trust them to be professional and not trying to add a bunch of things that don’t need done like most other places.

We appreciate Ulmers quality repairs and above all their customer service. Alex, Dwain, Brian, Bryan, and the crew treat our cars like their own. They offer advice, but are quick to consider all options. The team understands the importance of not only our cars, but also the loved ones we travel with. We recommend highly

Matt Howell

Laura Sharp

Love Ulmers ! Very flexible about scheduling, they actually answer the phone when I call, they always know who I am, and best of all: very honest. If something can wait they will tell me, if I can get a better deal for instance on tires at Costco - no problem! Highly, highly recommended. Only change I would make is to be open half day on Saturdays.

Ulmer's Milford is truly phenomenal! After many, many poor experiences at my local dealership and a lot of money spent to Not fix my car I finally went to Ulmer's. They drove my car, diagnosed the problem and kept it until they were satisfied, then they kept it one more night so they could drive it again the next day cold just to be sure they had actually fixed it! Since then I have taken my car there many times and the service continues to be stellar. They are conscientious, courteous and dedicated. They clearly take a great deal of pride in the service they provide to their customers and they are good at what they do. I will never take my car to another shop. Ulmer's, you have a customer for life! Thank you!

Tim Kitzmiller

I've used a great deal of automotive service businesses and Ulmers is by far and away the best I've experienced. We have a variety of vehicles and vehicle types and Ulmers has serviced them spectacularly - all services as promised, serviced in a timely and on time manner, excellent rates for the services they provide and most importantly, a customer friendly and authentically enthusiastic attitude! An increasingly rare find in today's service world, keep it up Ulmers, I truly appreciate all that you do!

Thomas Bailey

I always experience excellent service here. Scheduling is always convenient and they work with me to get my vehicle into service according to my schedule. The service they perform, routine maintenance or major repairs, is excellent. They don't suggest unnecessary maintenance. I will continue brining my car to Ulmer's for service.

Being a mother a two, who works full-time, and goes to school full-time - my car is the one piece of the puzzle that can never be missing. About a month ago, my engine light came on. This was the first time I have ever experienced something like this. Without putting anyone else down, I went to a couple of other places first, and was over-quoted. I was a nervous wreck. Then, I was referred from a friend to contact Alex from Ulmer's. He was extremely kind and understanding. He took the time to provide me with different prices of parts that were needed and things that could wait. Lets just say, Alex saved me about $700 - $800. My car is now working beautifully and I will never waste my time taking my car anywhere else but to Ulmer's. Thank you Alex and staff for everything!

Allie Sikora

15:01 30 Aug 17

The service these guys provide is unbeatable! The guys in the office are really friendly and knowledgeable, and are in constant communication with me whenever I bring my vehicle in, no matter what it's for. For fair pricing, and an honest opinion, this is where I send all of my friends and family.
