We were referred to Eller’s Auto Service by a family member. For most people, it might be far out (on Hwy 90W, past Castroville, going towards Hondo), however it’s definitely worth it! If you live on the Far West Side of SA, Hill Country, or along the Hwy 90 corridor, I’d recommend considering Eller’s Auto Service. You can’t lose with wonderful customer service, transparency, competitive pricing, and solid work. Thank you again for working on our vehicle(s)! 👍🏽

My family has been taking vehicles to Eller’s Auto for several years. Amazing family owned business that truly cares for their customers.

Ellers cares about good customer service and satisfaction. When I had a turbo malfunction I was quoted $2000 from one local mechanic in Devine And came here and ended up spending $350. They also were able to get it done same day! I will be coming here from now on.

Took my truck in to get valve cover gaskets replaced. All the staff were friendly and professional. It took quite a bit longer than expected to get the job done, but they did get it done. Price was cheap and I have no more oil leaking. So, I'm satisfied. Definitely recommend and will be going there again, next time I need any maintenance/repairs.

Had my truck in there for almost a year 7 months to be exact! Give me the runaround. Only for them to break the original motor they gave me an overhauled older motor that is no good has a cracked head and now I am stuck with no vehicle!

If I could give no stars I would. I brought my vehicle there because it wasn’t starting come to find out it’s been evap code since I bought it. They change the ignition switch claiming that was the problem. Got the vehicle back and it does not run pass. 10mph and speed odometer doeDessn’t work and the gas needle never worked normally. I had one problem that needed to be resolved now I have 3 more problems and they refused to fix it without charging me. I am now a certified mechanic 2 years later. I would never recommend bringing my vehicle here. And I only brought it because of a referral. They are pocket thief’s. Thanks for not resolving nothing! Your son touched my vehicle and could tell me what they did.Desk Representative is of professional.

Can’t say enough about this shop. Took our suv in for multiple issues, front seat lumbar support was not functioning and the third row seat wouldn’t unfold. They troubleshot the issues, replaced a motor and switch. We were back in business in no time. Also did an oil change for me. We won’t be going anywhere else but here

My husbands truck is being fixed there as thats the town our transmission went out in. They told us it would be done Wednesday so we planned to go Saturday to pick up. Something came up and they failed to call us. Its Saturday Its still not finished. The secretary said she was going to call us back to see if we could pick it up this evening and now they wont take our phone calls to even let us know if we should be there today or when they will be finished. They are going to close in 4 min per the Google search and they have failed again to call us and let us know anything.

Have used this shop for everything from repairing my p/u doors, tune-up, check engine light problem, and replace windshield wiper motor. ALWAYS great service at a fair price. Highly recommended !! 09/12/23 Just returned from picking up my truck at Ellers. These guys work MIRACLES! They did not stop until they located the problem and dealt with it! Frankly I was becoming a little doubtful but they came through AGAIN !! AND am completely happy with the bill! Considering the amount of work I KNOW was done....it was bargain basement but with QUALITY results !!

Eller Auto Service is excellent! I drove from San Antonio, TX to Castroville,TX, for an Outstanding car repair! I was a walk in but I didnt have to wait long. I had two diagnostic tests done on my vehicle in 2021 for one service. Ellers Auto was able to beat last years estimated prices... plus I had extra work done for less than the price of the diagnostic tests including labor! There are two John Ellers at this family-owned business. At separate times both Johns took the time to explain what work was or wasnt needed on my vehicle. John Jr., mentioned that Im going to eventually need a transmission. He explained how much just a rebuilt transmission costs..Ugh!! Both Johns were honest enough to say that the transmission work wasnt an urgent matter and agreed that I could wait on this! Whew!! Most shops are in it for the money! I felt at ease and as though I was ALWAYS being told the truth!!! Did I mention that John Eller Jr. has a Batcholors Degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked on cars growing up? John Sr. has worked on various machinery being ex U.S.N., Ret. U.S.A.F and Civil Service... I was impressed and yes, I asked a lot of questions!! The Customer Service is awesome everyone in the shop is very welcoming. The shop is clean and upkeep is nice! This is my new auto repair shop and I will let them do the body work my car needs too!! I highly recommend Ellers Auto Service and Body Work!!

Overall a great experience for my vehicle being in a bad condition. No complaints from me on time it took or the price. They gave me a estimate and didnt go over what I was told even with a few hiccups. I will definitely be taking mine and our other vehicles here from now on. Thanks guys!

I have used Johnnys services for years. They have kept my car (235,000 miles) running for over 5 years. Their prices are among the best and the results are tremendous. Their body work is second to no one. Even my skeptical ex-wife was completely impressed with their body work on my daughters car. (Ive been known to accept lesser-quality for a cheaper price on some things) Lastly their turnaround time is exceptional. John the dad is a military veteran and has a great laugh when the joke is good.

Today Im posting a review even thoe the work they did for me was couple years ago I took my 2007 gmc Yukon. I was having trouble with the oil pressure. I asked them for prices and wat they thought would be better for me to do. I decided to rebuild the engine $3600 was the cost. They took longer then wat expected first of all 2nd wen i got the truck back it was still having same issues. Long story short I moved out of state took the truck as is cause I was on a time crunch do to work . Truck made to destination. And has sat since cause I did have more money to invest in it till now. I had another mechanic look into the truck remove the motor and check to see what was up with it. He removed the oil pan being the oil pressure was and has always been an issue well to our surprise not only were there a ton of metal shavings. Which the gentleman at Ellers told me there would be cause they boared out the block and resurfaced everything. But we also found extra bolts and nuts on the oil pan. Im beyond pist even thoe its been couple years just till did I have extra money like I said to invest in it. Im just saying pick ur mechanics wisely and dont go to these back garage shops that dont do quality work and screw people over.

2010 Ford Flex timing chain, water pump and shocks done. This is a big job and a lot could go wrong. Great work, car drives like new. If you are not reasonably satisfied with them, then you clearly dont understand the industry. Most likely you will not be satisfied with anyone. They treat people like family and take care of them.

Ive been using the Ellers family of garages for over 12 years. They are always quick to find and fix my vehicles problem for a very reasonable price without attempting to inflate with unnecessary fixes. They are the only family name that I trust with my vehicles.

I went there when my car was broken. They replaced the engine. After 6 days, my car stopped working. Went there again. Took 2 more days, I got the car again. The day after, it stopped working again. Went there again, took 2 more days again and again and again. They do not know how to fix a German car. And also my problem was just the engine. After I got my car fixed there, my coolant started to leak. So I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO GO THERE! BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
