Ed is awesome!!! I have known Ed for about 17 years now and he has fixed all of my cars, and all of my children cars as well!! If you are looking for someone knowledgeable about cars he is your guy!! He and his staff are friendly and professional!!! He has many resources and he gets the job done. If he can't fix it he will tell you who can!!! I love this man and his staff!!!

Fantastic garage. Super honest people! Will use 100 percent of the time. If you are in Birmingham and have a Suburu, go to them for service.

Best experience ever! Couldn’t be happier Element Garage is bar none the best (kept secret) automotive mechanic business in the southeast!

Yvonne worked me into their schedule quickly (because I needed to drive my Mazda out of town soon) when I told her that I thought what I needed could be done quickly. Edwin was most helpful in getting the driver's side low beam headlight better aligned! He even showed me how to adjust the alignment further if it needed it. Once before (on an even older Mazda) they were similarly very helpful and even noticed a leak in the radiator (not what I had brought it in for) and swapped that out for me.

Element Garage is the best! I totally trust them. They have taken great care of our cars for over a decade and plan using them for many more years.

My experience at Element Garage was excellent. They took the time to not only explain everything to me, but they also physically showed me the issues they had found. I will definitely be returning for my maintenance and repair needs!

Ed and his staff always super nice and sweet. My sister and I been knowing ed for some good years now and he always make sure our cars are in top shape.

Edwin is the best! It’s awesome that he helps prioritize repairs instead of just saying you need it all.

Have always been treated very well here, especially when my Subaru Outback was having several mysterious issues. Edwin was very communicative and worked hard to try to figure out what the issue was. It is not common to say that you look forward to coming to the mechanic, but everyone here is so pleasant, I think you could easily say that about Element!

I would and have recommended this shop to others. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and direct to the point. There are were no fillers and unnecessary procedures offered. I've finally found a reliable mechanic.

Went there on 10/03/23 to get a diagnosis on my wife's 2015 Volvo XC 60 , nobody in the front office except a dog behind the counter , walked around the side in the gate to a mess of a yard , ( more like a junk yard ) walked a bit further to see an old stripped out bmw race car , looked at my wife and said , Oh hell NO , you are not leaving your car here as we may never get it back and left in A HURRY

Hate to criticize a small business, but this shop did not do good work. Got my oil changed and they didn’t install the filter correctly so it leaked and smoked while driving. Also had my tires rotated and they stripped 4 of the lug nuts. Only positive is the low price but I guess I got what I paid for.

I had some work done on my Subaru and I am astonished by the detail, precision, and honesty that was provided by Element. They did a fantastic job with the service and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for friendly, thorough repair experience.

I recommend thois auto repair shop since the people there a very honest and it's not a greedy and reasonable price they look after and let you know when you're next oil change and tune-up I trust Edwin who's the owner there

The best mechanic in Birmingham! Honest and dependable. I will only take my car to Element!

Edwin did great work on my van. Affordable and quick. When another unrelated issue cropped up a couple of years later I called him and discussed my problem. Instead of having me come in he recommended a simple repair I do myself. He was dead on and saved me the wad of cash I’d have paid for the tow and the repair. Thanks man.

Edwin worked on my daughters 14 year old Volvo when it appeared to be on it's last legs. He got it running and she drove it for months until the battery died. He offered to go jump the car and monitored the battery to see what the problem could be with a fairly new battery. It was up and running again. Then last week she discovered water under the driver side rug. Edwin fixed the leak and patiently removed all the water from the cab. Yesterday we drove the car from Birmingham to DC. It drove like a new car. Thanks, Edwin.

Best car repair shop. Edwin cares about your issues and repair it with reasonable price. I couldn’t find any shop in BHM to repair my front end issue, spent about $3K in 2 yrs, maybe 7 garage repair shops. Edwin figured it out in couple of days and fixed it next day.
