I highly recommend this repair shop. Most mechanics don't really spend time explaining things but they did-no rush job or fast talking which was great.

Elar Auto Review…read more I'm baffled at how this place manages to keep any customers given their lack of professionalism and communication. I got into a car accident in December of 2022. A hit and run involving a semi that nearly got me killed. My car obviously needed to be towed. I called several places describing the state of my vehicle. Elar was one of the local places that could take my car in and get it looked at. Upon arrival and after speaking to Barry, the manager, they said with the utmost confidence it could be fixed and wouldn't need to be totaled. Because of the upcoming holiday they would need to have it fixed after the new year, which I'm fine with. It was in really bad shape, of course I had no choice. Come the new year and I'm told they have to order the parts. Soon enough February comes and they're telling me they still are waiting on parts. Then it's March and it's the same. April, May, June, July come and I'm told the same thing. All while I'm still paying the loan on my car AND paying for a rental. My complimentary rental through my insurance capped out in February so I'm paying upwards of $1200 a month just to get from point A to point B on a regular basis. It wasn't until SEPTEMBER that State Farm got involved and asked me why the car hasn't been fixed yet, and I said "hey your guess is as good as mine." I kept going to Elar to see if there's an update and Barry just kept shrugging me off and coming up with a nonsense lie every time. That's when State Farm decided to move my car from that body shop to a different one. Within a day that other body shop immediately quoted State Farm and they decided it was totaled. I waited from December of 2022 to September of 2023 for them to tell me my car was totaled. Months of wondering the outcome and scrambling to find a solution. Spending thousands of dollars. In the end Barry didn't even offer an apology for his negligence and lack of professionalism. I strongly encourage people to avoid this place at all possible cost. Their lack of empathy and consideration will cost you more than just financially.

He was also very nice and patient with me as I asked all of my questions. He also was able to give me quotes on each job and found them to be more affordable than other places in the area. I decided to get my brake pads and rotors changed and everything was taken care of that day. Mario even took time to re-lift my car and show me the work done when I asked to see the new parts. The place is also very clean and well organized - which is impressive for a car shop. I'm thankful that I finally found a mechanic I can trust and highly recommend.

The car was in a horrific state after being flooded during the storm…read more The customer service was just excellent. I had my car detailed after flooding from a recent storm. The job was not perfect but they did a good job with cleaning for the pricey detailing they charged me. The water continued flowing in even after the detailing. Pretty much everything was moved around and not put back in place. The steering wheel, the cup holder, the rearview mirrors. Initially when I turned my car on I got an red screen of death, but fortunately, after I adjusted the steering wheel back in position, it cleared off and got back to normal. My driving glasses disappeared, some items were broken in the process of cleaning. They threw away my wet towels that I was using to clean out the water and some other items which I wasn't too pleased with. It could have been put in a plastic bag instead of taking the liberty to throw away. The garage wasn't exactly near me in the 60626 neighborhood which was a hassle to get to and back. Many of the causes were obviously from the water flooding. Either way, it was cleaned enough to at least get me dried out from the flooding. In the long run I've been happy to be in a clean car.
