Automotive News & Information - Elite Auto & Tire

These guys were absolutely amazing. Extremely honest, and very quick turn around. I took in my 93 Chevy Lumina in for some work, I had just bought it for $1000 and it cut out on me and I couldn't get it started again, so I had to get it towed in.

First and foremost, their first amazing service is that they offer a free shuttle service, so if you have to drop your car off, they will take you where you need to go, I don't know any other garage that offers this, so that was amazing. Also, it turns out my car needed about $600 work done on it, they had cleaned the parts that had the issue, but to completely fix it, would cost around $600 parts and labor, and they said since its a 20 year old vehicle I might not want to spend that kind of money on it, which they were right, I didn't. They told me they got it running but didn't know how long it would last for. I took the gamble, picked the car up, and I have not had any issues with it. One of the greatest things they have going for them is honesty, and their dedication to your car. Honesty because they could have said that the cost is going to be $600 and it won't run without getting that taken care of, but they were extremely honest and told me it might be ok, but it might not be, but it's running right now. 

Also they called me after hours on a Friday night. It was like 9pm, and he called me because he said he would call that day, and since they are closed on the weekends, he wanted to make sure that I knew the situation and where I stand.

 I can't say enough about how amazing the experience was, from the free shuttle service to the calling me after hours to the rare honesty that we never encounter in garages these days, these guys were awesome, and I will definitely be back there when my car dies again, and if anyone is doubting this, take a look on Facebook because they are there too, and there are a bunch of posts about how honest and awesome they are. - Clinton G.

Nobody - I mean nobody wants a high repair bill. Ever! So why ignore the easy things like filters and fluids? Here at Elite Automotive LLC our Covington drivers know that their car and truck’s filters are important to the longevity of that vehicle as well as the interior comfort. Maximize your car investment by replacing filters regularly. The oil filter traps contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. The fuel filter separates harmful contaminants that may cause problems with carburetors or intricate fuel injectors. The air filter traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons and piston rings. The air filter also plays a role in keeping contaminants off the airflow sensor (in fuel-injected cars). The cabin filter helps trap pollen, bacteria and dust that may find their way into a car’s ventilation system. Keeping the filters and fluids changed regularly is simply a win-win solution!
