Eliot and his team’s work is reliable and fairly priced. My wife and I have been going to his shop for about two years now, very solid!

I came to him with an issue of my brakes being soft he looked at them called to let me know they needed to be adjusted,(the rear brakes.) He he did that, he flushed the brake system ,changed to brake fluid my truck,now stops perfectly! I couldn't be happier with this guy his communication was excellent he did nothing until I gave him the okay.

I have been going to Elliot’s for over 8 years. He is knowledgeable and honest about my car. He has earned my trust countless times. When the dealer or another mechanic claimed work that cost thousands, Elliot always addressed the issues in an open and honest way that was materially less than the dealer and others.

5 Stars for Eliot all day long! We called Eliot on a Monday in complete panic, both previously functioning vehicles went out of commission over the weekend, and a new week was starting!! Based on prior experiences elsewhere, I began my call almost pleading for Eliot to take a look at at least one of the cars before the end of the week. To my surprise, Eliot responded that the one may be an easier fix, but that he would take a look at both and report back to us at the latest a day after I initially called. It felt like I was dreaming! We struck gold trusting other reviews here before we contacted Eliot. He put up with me being a young lady who's dad also wanted to also know what was going on, and quickly repaired our Subaru and Jeep! Prices were very reasonable, even "see if there's an eBay auction" Dad approved! Even more impressive is the turn around time to replace the intake on my car, and a set of brakes on my partners, there were 0 instances of an upcharge for labor happening here. I am not exaggerating when I say we were wrapped up with both cars by Wednesday after calling on Monday (due to parts needing to be shipped in)! With no vehicles usable for work, we were fingers crossed purchasing a new car wouldn't make it to that week's tasks, and without Eliot's help and knowledge of both vehicles, there is no way we would have figured this out. We never had an even stressful conversation with Eliot or Carlos throughout this entire experience, and that is saying a lot given that we were confined to walking back and forth to his shop that first day! In addition to the original fixes, Eliot made sure to follow up with us both after we put the cars back to use, and quickly resolved the issue when a light started coming up on my partner's car that made us weary all over again! Since our experience with Eliot, we have been bragging left and right about finding a good mechanic that is also so close to home. A HUGE shoutout to everyone at Eliot's auto for assisting us during a real "crunch time"! :)

Honest, smart, and fast, what more could you ask for? Eliot definitely knows his stuff and his prices are very competitive.

I don’t live in the area, but I needed a repair shop close by when my brakes started to grind. Eliot got me in right away and within 24 hours the job was done in addition to an oil change and some other small maintenance I needed done. Very affordable pricing and very friendly service- he even texted me a week later to follow up on the job. I recommend them to anyone for jobs big and small! Thanks Eliot! 😊

I really appreciate Eliot’s Complete Auto Repair for their honest, no-nonsense approach. Eliot is attentive and never tries to up-sell, only recommending what’s necessary. He’s upfront about whether a repair is urgent or can wait, which I truly value. Highly recommend for anyone looking for straightforward, reliable service!

My car broke down on me and I google Eliot auto shop. Elliot was so polite and sent over a tow for a reasonable amount. My car was in Elliot for a few days and after the repairs it was riding like new! Thanks again

Went in for an oil change, great experience. Quick and fair pricing, and Eliot clearly knows his stuff.

This is the place to go. I don't know the first thing about what I needed, but it didn't matter because Eliot and his team were on top of it before I could even process dropping my car off. 10/10 and still be back again

Went in for an oil change. They were upfront about how pricing worked and had my car ready very quickly. I also had my brakes checked and they not only didn’t charge for the labor but were honest and said the brakes didn’t need replacing yet.

First time bringing my car in here, now I will never go anywhere else. Eliot is great. Excellent and quick service, fair pricing, you can trust him with your car

I came into Eliot’s because my check engine light was on and my car had been shuddering when I stopped and idled. Eliot took my car on the spot, and called me with a diagnosis only a half hour after I dropped it off. He had the parts delivered and the car fixed a few hours later. I was stunned at how quickly he was able to service my vehicle. From start to finish, Eliot was transparent and easygoing about the service and pricing. No upselling, and he was incredibly thorough in his work on my car, even checking back a few days later to make sure the problem was fixed and the car was running well. As a woman walking into a garage, I always hold my breath a bit because of past experiences, but Eliot made me feel comfortable with the service and the care they were going to show my vehicle and his professionalism and friendliness were top notch. This place is my new go-to spot for all future repairs and maintenance.

Quick, easy, and affordable tire patch.

Wanted an oil change before weekend trip. I had never been to Eliot’s , but took a chance and called him. Told me if I could drop my car, he would get it done, no problem. Dropped my car and he called less than an hour later to tell me it was done! He seems like a nice man and all is good with my car. I will go again.

We’ve been taking our family’s vehicles to Elliot’s for nearly 10 years. We were referred by a friend in the neighborhood and It’s who we refer our friends to. Trustworthy, reliable, and simply great service and value. Elliot is a gem and we’ll keep coming back!

Great experience here. I was a bit nervous about taking my car to a new shop, but I'm very glad I found this place. Eliot even followed up a few days later to check that everything was still working. You can tell he genuinely cares about being fair and honest and doing a good job. I will happily recommend Eliot's to others!

Diagnose and recommended repair services in a timely manner. Super friendly and fair on prices

Eliot has been my go-to auto mechanic for 25 or so years; he is close to me and is prompt in his service. Thanks to his maintenance of my 2 Honda Accords, I haven't had to spend outrageous amounts for repairs. I have recommended other car owners to seek him out and I believe they have been satisfied.
Jul 06, 2024
Eliot was quick to assess my car, brought me over to show me the problem for myself, got the parts and completed the repair quickly. It cost much less than the first place I got a quote from. He also checked in a few days later to make sure it was still working. Two different friends recommended Eliot’s and I’ll be doing the same.

Eliot's Complete Auto Repair has been my car repair garage for years now, always my first choice. He and his staff listen, do the job and they are straight shooters. You don’t need to go anywhere else.

My A/C started putting out warm air just 2 days before a 12-hour drive. I was able to make an appointment right away. With car problems that usually cause stress - the entire process from drop-off, maintenance, and pickup was swift and professional. The price for the maintenance was a pleasant surprise from pervious experiences elsewhere. I’ve walked by Eliot’s almost daily but have never needed to stop in. I will be back for not only any possible A/C issues in the future but also for any automotive needs or maintenance. Thanks for the great service! I would recommend Eliot's to everyone!

A good friend recommended Elliot to me and I've been using him exclusively for maintenance and a repair I had for about 3.5 years. I trust his 30+ years of experience and value the relationship such that when I do have a problem, I will already have someone I trust that is not going to hijack my wallet. I just had Elliot's upgrade my headlights and the job came out great, very happy! I am always asking about my brakes. He gives me an honest answer, "...still good...". He does not participate in the "parts torpedo" and overselling stuff that is not needed. In the long run, you will save money and your car working with Eliot!

Eliot's was wonderful for our Honda! The car is in great condition, service was fast, and the pricing was amazing. Clearly knowledgeable and honest people doing quality work. We'll be back!

I had such a great experience at Eliots! This was my first time using a different mechanic since I moved to the city and I’m glad I found someone I can trust for any future issues!
May 06, 2024
Really smooth and easy getting my car in for an oil change here. Good communication and efficiently done. Will certainly bring my car back when it's due again or needs more than just maintenance
May 06, 2024
Super helpful with answering my questions and assisting in the best solution that was affordable. Highly recommend Eliot and his team!

~3 month review~ Very fair prices, and he did a very thorough job. He showed the parts that broke, and he explained his work. I'll definitely come again if something else comes up.

This is our second time visiting Eliot’s and they have always been so helpful. We were able to come in and get help the same day with an oil leak on our car. Highly recommended for the service!
