    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Vehicle Tips

      The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

    • Vehicle Tips

      Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

    • Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

What our clients say about us?

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • One of the best garages I've ever been to.


    -Mike O.

  • Very friendly staff. Brought my car in without an appointment, got an oil change, inspection, and 2 new tires and was out of there within 3 hours. Nothing but good things to say about this place based on my visit.


    -Michael C.

  • John and crew are the best to deal with. Very fair and honest. I would never consider taking my vehicles anywhere else.


    -Bob A.

  • Great service, experienced mechanics, the wish I'd been taking my car here sooner. I won't bring it anywhere else from now on.


    -Cray R.

  • Great service! They could have upsold me but chose not to. I will be back!


    -Raul G.

  • Nothing but great things to say about these guys. Extremely polite and friendly service. I've yet to have any issues with the work they've done. They'll go into detail over what the problem is and how to fix it to help you make a decision. They're what I've been looking for in a shop.


    -Thomas D.

  • I called and was able to get an appointment within a couple of hours, the service was very fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend this garage for any kind of work you need done to your car in the Rochester area!


    -Jacob R.

  • My parent's have used Elmer's for more than 30 years and I have been going there for 15 years. Always great service, honest people and high quality work. John and the rest of the crew are fantastic.


    -Ryan E.

  • I was in town for a few days when my change oil light lit up. I purchased the synthetic oil at a local auto parts store and then drove next door to Elmer's Garage to see if they could perform the labor. Couldn't have asked for a more friendly, helpful or fair treatment. John, the owner, fairly discounted the cost given that I had already purchased the oil and heard him advise subsequent clients against unnecessary repairs or interventions to their cars even though he could have benefited from the income. Friendly, prompt, trustworthy. I had frequented other garages in Rochester when I lived there. This is the garage to go to.


    -Rabbi S.

  • The best Garage in Rochester without a doubt. Helped me on numerous occasions with looking at cars before I purchased them, were extremely patient and helped me look for exactly what I wanted. Have gone to them for repairs and questions and have always left feeling satisfied. Great staff, always very friendly and will do whatever they can to help. I've never met a person who was dissatisfied with their experience at Elmer's. That is the only place I will ever go for repairs and service, they are head and shoulders above the rest. They live up to and exceed expectations, overall GREAT service.
