Avoid this shopβcaused major mechanical damage to my vehicle. I brought my car here for body repairs after an accident, and I regret the decision. From the start, the shop immediately registered the claim with my insurance (State Farm) without my consent, effectively locking me out of getting any other estimates. The repair took over 22 days to complete. To make matters worse, two days after I picked up the vehicle, the transmission failed. My car was in perfect mechanical condition before I brought it inβthe only damage was the bodywork. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the shop had failed to reconnect a hose to the transmission, resulting in its destruction. I need a total transmission replacement due to their negligence. Do not bring your vehicle here; they clearly do not know what they are doing. Save yourself the time, money, and headache, and go somewhere else.

I got side swept and had a few dents and paint repair that needed to be done on my car and my driver mirror was also broken. I took it in and in less than a week my car looks brand new. It was a great experience and would recommend.

I was really impressed by the work Elar did on my car. Barry was super helpful and patient in explaining and walking through my repairs. Even though I found him through insurance (which made me skeptical initially), I have full confidence of coming back here to get any other repairs done by Barry and his crew at Elar.

Had a minor accident and brought it to Elar due to the reviews and I was not disappointed! My car looks like new. They are great at communicating and sending reminders if you forget to bring in your car when you say you will (me) and were very understanding. They also gave my car a wash/vacuum when it was time for pick up. Highly recommend this place and I am a very happy customer. Hoping I never have to return but if I do, this is the place I am bringing my car.

Elar Auto Review Iβm 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 wouldnβt need to be totaled. Because of the upcoming holiday they would need to have it fixed after the new year, which Iβm fine with. It was in really bad shape, of course I had no choice. Come the new year and Iβm told they have to order the parts. Soon enough February comes and theyβre telling me they still are waiting on parts. Then itβs March and itβs the same. April, May, June, July come and Iβm told the same thing. All while Iβm still paying the loan on my car AND paying for a rental. My complimentary rental through my insurance capped out in February so Iβm paying upwards of $1200 a month just to get from point A to point B on a regular basis. It wasnβt
