I have had several items addressed on my car (which is 14 years old with 211,000 miles) and each time I felt that the quality of the work has been high. The people have been easy to work with and they are proactive with communications.I'll be back.

There is no better team to get your car right! We have a very fussy Mercedes and Jenn always gets us in asap! They have always taken great care of us and won’t take our cars anywhere else.

The communication was awesome, and my car’s Work was done efficiently. Unfortunately, when they called me to tell me my car was ready. I did not have somebody who could drive with me as everyone was at work and I was at the hospital visiting my family member. So Ulmer’s sent their shuttle to come and get me…. It was a huge help.

A difficult repair made easy. The staff helped me with scheduling and logistics that turned a nightmare into a manageable challenge. Thank you for your support . Also identifying a potential problem with timing chain that prevented a future imminent catastrophic failure. Huge savings in expenses.

Fantastic experience here! Battery in my jeep died and I was quoted $1100 through the dealership. I called this place as it was the first place that popped up with good reviews and they got me in that day for half the price. They shuttled me to and from work so I didn’t miss a day either. I was so happy with the service and efficiency! Great customer service. Thank you guys!

Montgomery Ulmers does quality work at reasonable prices. I switched to them after Kings Toyota and Kings Subaru kept screwing up. Loose lug nuts, didn’t tighten the oil plug, etc. Now I use Ulmers and Donovan Blue Ash for all my car work. Never had an issue.

I take several cars for maintenance and repair work to Ulmer's Auto Care Center in Montgomery. Jenn or Mike keeps me informed of the progress. Information on findings is texted to me for my perusal. If a part is needed, they tell me accurately when it is due to arrive and when the vehicle will be ready to be picked up. I appreciate the good service that Ulmer's provides.

(May 2026)--Our most recent experience with Ulmer's was also very good. We got an oil change and transmission flush. They took pictures to compare to last time. They noticed a little oil around the gasket but no sales pressure to get it repaired immediately. Just keep an eye on it. Because they shared the pictures we can determine if or when to bring it in.Ulmer's offered a shuttle service which is greatly appreciated.Our experiences with Ulmer's has been very positive. Definitely recommend them.We took our car in for an oil change. We thought we might need a brake fluid service. After an inspection of the car, Ulmer's determined we did not need the brake fluid flushed. They gave pictures of everything they checked during the inspection.This is the second time we took our 2017 Honda Accord to Ulmer's. The first time a Dealership told us we needed a $1500 starter. We took the car to Ulmer's for a second opinion. After an analysis they determined there was a bad cell in the battery. Not the starter at all. All we were charged for was the inspection. Because the battery was under warranty we had it replaced were it was originally purchased.We were treated with honesty and respect at Ulmer's. Definitely recommend them for good work and honesty.

Ulmer did a excellent job on a pre-purchase inspection for a car I was about to buy. It helped reassure me that all was in proper order, and also let me know about required maintenance issues that needed to be done.

Alex L.

Got me in immediately and were very nice! Will call them whenever there are any car needs.

Great service from the team and great communication. Issues have been fixed and pricing was incredibly fair in my book!

John W.

Took my fairly specialized European car with some scary issues to Ulmer’s as they have the talent and most equipment needed (vs just going to the dealership). Very professional engagement and reasonable diagnostics charge. Hit the point where a trip to the dealership was required and that’s perfectly understandable. I think that’s smart and good business practice. I take all of my family’s other vehicles there routinely. They always do a great job. Solid customer experience as well.

Thomas D.

13:23 22 Apr 26

Always attentive, gives immediate and long term recommendations for my car. Also, always on time. Much appreciated.

Sara S.

13:16 09 Apr 26

The service at Ulmer’s was excellent. What I really appreciated was pictures of the parts/tires that needed attention. This is extra mile of service goes beyond what I have seen with other auto services.

Thurston L.

14:39 06 Apr 26

Inspection provided me with detail of repairs needed and accompanying photos. Mechanic, Steve Harris, and office staff helped prioritize the list and choose options that fit my budget. They even provided a loaner car.

Renée N.

13:49 02 Apr 26

Good experience. They were able to fit me in last minute and provided a comprehensive review of the things that needed to be fixed.

Mike C.

They're always friendly and professional. The shuttle service is extremely helpful and is a huge reason for me to keep coming back. I had tires done there recently and the pricing was competitive all-in vs. Tire Discounters and others.

I recently pursued a challenging, long-standing repair. Ulmer’s thoroughly, efficiently diagnosed the issue. A suitable replacement part was quickly located, installed and verified.From the initial phone call to completion of the job, service was courteous, professional and outstanding in all aspects.I would highly recommend Ulmer’s expertise without reservation; I may have found my trusted go to mechanic.

Nolan M.

15:08 19 Mar 26

I’ve never had a greater experience with a car mechanic business. Outstanding. Will be going to Ulmers for all of my future needs.

Carol G.

Matt looked at my car a few minutes after I arrived. He showed me the comparison between the old and new filter and replaced my filter in just a few minutes. I was charged only for the filter which seemed reasonable.

Nori M.

14:48 12 Feb 26

I am from out of town and brought a used car for inspection before purchase. They did an amazing job, very thorough check, caught some concerning repairs, provided a very detailed report. They explained everything to me and walked through the report. I would 100% recommend this business.

Jennifer B.

Ulmer's was friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient when I needed a mechanic for my 2011 VW diesel.

The absolute best repair shop in the city!!!!

Jim W.

14:29 09 Feb 26

I scheduled a tire installation and showed up on time. I went to lunch and came back in 30 minutes. The car was almost ready! They offered to perform a full analysis of my car and offered a ride to my office while they did it. I could not be happier with their service! To top everything else, their tire pricing is competitive with that place you hear on the radio 10 times a day.

Joe R.

A Great place to take our "older" Volvo. Not many places that are as good at foreign cars.

Martin M.

Had a great experience! I needed a distance sensor recalibrated that another shop wasn't capable of doing. Ulmer's was able to do the work and they offered a loaner to get me around for the day. Jen was awesome, made it easy to set up my appointment, and she kept me up-to-date with all the progress. Highly recommend!

Alison M.

14:12 25 Jan 26

The staff is always friendly and accommodating! The mechanics are thorough and knowledgeable. They keep you unformed and updated about what repairs may or may not be needed.

Ulmer's (both locations I've been to, Montgomery and Loveland) have always been the best car repair experience I've ever had. Loaner vehicle or shuttle service was included. Ulmer's, repairs and service done right!

Ulmer's Montgomery, specifically Jen, was so helpful and knowledgeable. She was even able to get me in sooner than the original appointment I had set. My intention is to visit them for my future vehicle needs!

Michael W.

New to the area and didn't want to take my car to the Land Rover dealership. I'm satisfied with the work that was done. Pickup and drop off is a plus.

Dustin B.

I own a older vovlo and Ulmers has a very thorough volvo tech. I've always done my own auto repairs because I'm particular. The tech did a great job at inspecting, finding things and showing the issues. Also the service rep was great and walked through everything. Ultimately we did not have them do the repairs, only because of the current age and value of the car. We'll be bringing our other cars back to ulmers for service.

🙂 Was so pleased when used Ulmer's Shuttle Service for latest service. The drivers Erin and Andy were so nice! Also thrilled to have found Ulmer's Auto Care in Montgomery to service Porsche Cayenne. Had car in Louisville and used local Louisville dealer but found the dealership prices very high and they always wanted to do a package of services. Tried one Louisville local shop but they could not get the warning lights off after completing the necessary service. This was NOT a problem at Montgomery Ulmer's! Service was completed and warning lights/messages shut off. The Cayenne is getting some years and mileage on it but now that we have Ulmer's to help us, we will probably hold on to the Cayenne longer. In addition to have confidence in the services performed, the office personnel, Jen, Jeffrey and Shea, were super to work with! A+++

Really friendly and accommodating. I had enough done to take two appointments. Both were complete on time and as quoted. No trying to upsell .

Brian F.

14:47 18 Nov 25

They were great. Unfortunately my repair ended up being way more expensive than I had hoped. But they prevented catastrophic damage with their repair. And with a 4yr 48 000 mi warranty on their repairs, it gives you confidence in their work.

Lee K.

My car had squeaky brakes for months because the dealership said there was nothing wrong with them. Ulmers heard me! They worked through the issue thoughtfully and now my brakes are perfect! Thanks for an enjoyable driving experience!

Corporate O.

Great service. The printout helped me plan for repairs in advance.

Rick M.

15:57 04 Nov 25

Chose Ulmer’s because it was local and has a very good reputation. The service department at my car dealership recommended some things that seemed questionable. Went to Ulmer’s for a second opinion. They recommended a much cheaper solution, got me in within 24 hours, and fixed the problem. Better service, less expensive and trustworthy. Pretty good combination! I won’t be going back to that dealership for service.

diann K.

20:23 02 Nov 25

Awesome experience in getting a pre-purchase inspection, from friendliness and knowledge of front desk person to the inspection, which was very thorough. Greatly satisfied with Ulmer’s service, timeliness, and knowledge. Will DEFINITELY use them for other maintenance services going forward!

Ulmer's took my car the morning I called. I appreciate the great service, including the shuttle. I'll definitely have them service my car again!
