Jeff & Jen (lol!) in the office are amazing and so helpful! They are quick to get me in when my stupid tires get nails in them and the entire team is quick to fix!

Jen was the best. Friendly, helpful, nothing was too much. I am from out of town and needed someone to look at my GTl. These guys squeeze me in and help me out before my long trip home. Will definitely use them again when next in Cincinnati.

I cannot thank Ulmer's enough for helping my wife and I through a difficult situation. Driving back to Kentucky from Boston, we broke down in OH and were towed to the Montgomery location late Sunday evening based on a recommendation from a friend that lives in Cincinnati. I called them at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning to let them know my truck was in their lot and we were stranded at a nearby hotel. They diagnosed the problem (bad starter), got the part over to the shop, and we were up and running at 11:00 a.m. They even picked us up at the hotel in their shuttle. Wonderful people and exceptional service!!!

I sent my Land Rover in for a repair. The shop did a diagnostic investigation at no cost, and even though they determined they couldn’t fix the problem, they directed me to a group that could. I had a great experience.

Ulmer's is a welcome addition to the Montgomery area. I took my Lexus in for routine maintenance for a first visit and was extremely happy with the service and fair price...especially for Montgomery! The people are very friendly and efficient. I will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend them.

I had an amazing time here! I was stranded in the area while on a job search over an hour from home and my usual mechanic. Called around and some how lucked into finding ulmers. The owner specifically helped me out in diagnosing the car. I had a double misfire and was not safe to drive home. He squeezed me in and got me looked at. Ultimately buying parts for a Saab requires that parts be shipped and it takes a while. So he hooked me up with a simple temporary fix and sent me on my way. He answered all my questions and showed AMAZING customer service. And the best part is I was broke 22 year old in a desperate situation rather than taking advantage they got me home safe for FREE. Now I’ve accepted a job and plan on moving near the area and I can’t wait to call them my new mechanics!

Best experience I’ve had at a shop.. EVER! Jen and Jeff gave me exceptional service and kept me in the loop with how my car was doing throughout the whole process. They provided me with a loaner car to drive during the whole process and were always available when I had questions/concerns. I would HIGHLY suggest Ulmers for any work needed done. They were honest and timely and my car is running great now! 10/10!!

I have two Volvos and after some bad service experiences elsewhere, I now will only trust them with the team at Nordic/Donovan’s. They clearly outline any issues they find in digestible ways and it’s clear they know their stuff. I trust them wholeheartedly.

I’ve been going to Donovan’s Specialty Auto Service for the past few years and I’m so pleased with their work and customer service I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Ever since our daughter’s 2008 Volvo steering wheel belt snapped unexpectedly the night before she was to drive it to NC, I knew I had to have only the best servicing this vehicle. The Volvo is 15 years old but it still runs great thanks to Donovan’s. The car goes back and forth between OH and NC for college countless times and I no longer worry about it not making it. Donovan’s makes sure the vehicle is road ready and safe for my daughter to use in her travels. I wouldn’t take our cars anywhere else. And the customer service is top notch! They are always available to answer my questions, and I’m one with many. I appreciate the work that they do and would highly recommend Donovan’s to anyone looking for a reliable automotive service provider.

The best experience I've had with a mechanic. They are super nice and responsive. On top of that, they didn't quote me for a bunch of extra work I didn't need unlike other shops I've been to.

Good morning, I drive a Jaguar and it was in need of some repairs, me and my husband tried to take it to the Jaguar Dealership hear in Cincinnati, but after waiting 20 minutes in the shop with all the employees just letting us stand at the front desk, we decided not to use them. Now to the good part, we have always been a customer of Donovan's in Columbia township, but was unaware of Donovan's Specialty Shop, but as always, they are an amazing group of people, I love everything about this shop, and on top of that they got the job done, my vehicle is performing like it's a new vehicle after getting it back. My Jaguar was in a bad way, but they fixed it and like I said it is running like it's new again. Thanks again for everything, C. Knox-Lee

Donovan’s provided incredible service, and what I like even more is the communication. I have an older car for my child, and the primary thing that the technicians wanted to be sure of was that it was safe and reliable. I truly appreciate their detail.

Donovan Tire Specialty is servicing cars in the old Nordic Motors space. The change in owners made me a little nervous because I loved Nordic motors. What I found was the same great service, friendly staff and good communication with me, someone who loves my car but doesn’t understand the technical parts of repair. The service was clearly explained & my questions were answered. When agreeing to the recommended services online-great feature btw, I felt confident in the repair plan. My Volvo C-30 will be back to Donovan-Specialty next time any service is required.Do yourself & your car a favor and check-out Donovan-Specialty!Photo for reference-not my car.

Donovan tire is the best! Shea was able to get me in quickly and order all new tires, had me back in my car the next day. They gave me a loaner vehicle while my car was in the shop, which made things so easy! After picking up my car, that very next day I got a nail in my tire, I called Shea and they had put a “tire protection” on my tires so it was free to get a new whole new tire! Donovan tire really looks out for their customers, can’t recommend them enough!

I am very pleased with the service I received.Reasons:- I was able to make an appointment and get the service done quickly.- The text notifications for approving service made my life easier.- (Most importantly) The technicians were able to fix a problem that the Volvo dealership could not, even after requesting they look into it specifically multiple times. The technicians were problem solvers not just service guide book readers. The issue was a sticking of the caliper that made a clicking noise and squeaks when braking at slow speeds.

Donavan’s was able to fit my daughters disabled Nissan in and work with me to find the most cost efficient solution to the issue. They are fair and do solid work.

Wanted to an oil change before it was suppose to be because after the last oil change, my car started burning oil and we mixed oil types. So we needed to have all 0W 20 oil in it. Went fine. Just need to keep my eye on the oil.

Recently handed my car over to them to fix a long list of items. It was there for over a month, and they were very communicative throughout the entire duration about the repair status (waiting for parts, what they were working on now, and what they were working on next). They were also able to suggest some alternative options for repairs which allowed me to save over $1200 in parts alone. Highly recommend.

Great experience (again). Bill and his team do great work, have full confidence the work will be done correctly, timely and they always take the time to explain and answer all my q’s. Would recommend Nordic Motors and will certainly use them again for all my car repairs.

From first phone call and pleasant conversation with Elizabeth to driving off in a beautifully tuned-up and repaired car, Nordic Motors lived up to its great reputation when looking over my 2009 Volvo C30 shortly after it passed its 100K mark. What I particularly appreciated was the prioritized list of upcoming maintenance and repairs to plan for the next 18 months of car ownership. It held very clear explanations that the owner of the shop explained further when I had questions. I do believe we will get this little speedster to 200-250K in Bill's and Elizabeth's competent hands. I recommend this independently owned shop as fully and strongly as it's possible to recommend anything!

This company is organized and polite. They kept in good contact about the car and explained what issues I needed fixed right away and which could wait. I did not feel pressured or misled when it came to the repairs and prices.
