“I've used Ellenburgs Garage for the past 15 years. The personal service is appreciated. I couldn't wait until my new car dealership warranty ran out so I could get back Ellenburg's where I felt at home and around people I trusted.”

Questions people actually ask

Call and tell us what's happening — for most common jobs we can give you a real price range over the phone, and a firm number once we've seen the car.

Appointments help us get you in and out fast, but we always make room for breakdowns. Call first and we'll tell you the quickest path.

If something we fixed isn't right, we want to hear about it — ask about our warranty when you call.

Always. We diagnose first, explain in plain English, and never do work you didn't approve.
