Brindle, Manager of Ulmer’s Northern Kentucky, diagnosed my 2000 Grand Jeep Cherokee with a failed right side CV joint and two failed rear joints. My Jeep would not engage in two wheel drive and barely functioned in two wheel drive. This car has an excellent body and interior, the engine and transmission are in great condition.Brindle also noticed that the power steering pump is leaking, and the car should have replacement power steering hoses, too. With new catalytic converters the car should be like new again! Ulmer’s have great integrity, from Greg and Bryan, through all Service Managers, Service Writers, Technicians, and Staff. They will help you prioritize repairs based on safety, and use high quality repair parts, and expert technical repair!We have trusted Ulmer’s with all car repairs over the last twenty five years!

Ulmer's stands behind their work. I brought my vehicle in for an engine light. They fixed a problem, but the light came back on when I got it home, and it didn't have power steering. They paid to have the car towed back to the shop and fixed the other problem at no charge. Great customer service!

The folks at Ulmers have been a real pleasure to work with. I initially went to them for an engine repair which turned into an 8 month ordeal (due to supply shortages). They kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and took the time to explain all of my options when it came to repairing/replacing my engine. I'm really grateful for Cody and Max for their patience and helpfulness through it all.I've been back to Ulmers twice since the engine replacement and they have been nothing but pleasant and accommodating! As a younger woman, I've never felt so respected and heard at an auto repair shop. I could not recommend them more!

I found this shop in 2020 when I first started experiencing more major issues with my last car. They were always honest, always explained everything clear, and would even show me why my parts were faulty. I have had some bad experiences as a woman, and this place has never treated me any differently nor have they ever taken advantage. Now with my new vehicle, I have started experiencing issues. Not only did they take extra time to inspect the issue, but their loaners are also helpful. I will forever bring my vehicles here and always recommend them. Cody has some of the most amazing customer service, and Bob knows his cars. This place has helped me out alot, and I’m extremely grateful for their eagerness to always help and do the best they can do.

We've never had a single issue here or at the Salem location. We've always received very prompt and courteous service, the loaner cars make things painless, and they have an extremely gracious warranty on all the work they do. Highly recommended.

I just want to share why I use Ulmer's in Southgate. I was an estimator at a nearby collision repair shop. I started sending cars I had in for collision repairs to Ulmer's for suspension repairs and alignments. Because I had so many experiences with them I can say that they are honest, knowledgeable, and professional.Cody, who was my point of contact, kept me up to date on vehicles and gave great advice on how to do the right repair based on what the vehicle needed. His level of service was exceptional.I trust Ulmer's Southgate so much that I began using them for my personal vehicles. Cody and Ulmer's are now my trusted mechanics and it gives me great piece of mind to know that they are ensuring the safety and reliability of my wife's, my daughter's and my vehicles.

We have been using this particular garage for all of our vehicle maintenance for at least 15 years. Just had our first experience with Ulmers who have taken over and we received the same exceptional service. They gave our Trail Blazer an oil change and a good once over. We needed a few additional repairs done and they were very transparent about the issue, the fix and the pricing estimate. This day in age, you need mechanics you can trust.

I was up north visiting last week when I had an unexpected brake issue. I called Glenn and Cody and without hesitation they told me to bring my car in right away. To my surprise, I was back on the road in four hours. The cost was more than fair. I am so appreciative of all Ulmers did to help me out. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone!!! Thanks to everyone there!
