I recently brought my 4Runner into Elmo’s Automotive for an oil change and a diagnostic inspection. Elmo was friendly and accommodating — he fit me in right away, which I appreciated.

Elmo is my go-to mechanic. Elmo and his son have been working on my Toyota for four years now, and I am thankful to have a trusted mechanic like Elmo.
Elmo is honest and always does a great job. My Toyota is now over 300,000 KMs and still running fantastic. This is a testament to the work Elmo and his son have done.
If you are looking for a good trustworthy mechanic, Elmo is your guy.
