About Elmer's Brighton Garage

Full Service Automotive and Truck Repair

Elmer's Brighton Garage is one of the auto repair shops listed in Rochester, New York. The business is registered at 1848 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14618; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–5:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (585) 244-1616. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is elmersgarage.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 249 reviews, which is a strong result for an auto repair shop in Rochester and suggests consistent service.

Rochester is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Rochester peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

John, Alicia, and everyone at Elmer's Garage have been wonderful in solving and fixing various issues with my Chevy Sonic. They are so kind and understanding, especially when my battery died when I was at the vet with 2 of my dogs and had a total meltdown! Thanks John for always going out of your way to take care of my car (and me). πŸ˜ŠπŸ•β€πŸ¦ΊπŸΎπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

I moved to Rochester from Utah back in October. My dad used to be my mechanic and was a mechanic most of my life. Since moving to Rochester, I've been to Elmer's Garage twice and talked to my dad after each visit about the issues they said I had and what they charged me. They have incredible service, reasonable pricing, and get the job done! Even though he's still all the way back in Utah, my dad approves, and I am happy I found a regular mechanic out here :)

What I appreciate about Elmer's is that they're very upfront about what they can/will do in a day, and keep you informed about any additional issues that might come up during the repair. i just got my wife's minivan, initially for taking off snow tires and replacing the worn front struts. Turned out that the tie rods and rear shocks needed replacing, and it needed the annual inspection. I thought that would mean that they'd need to keep the car overnight, but it was done at 4:30pm. The price was reasonable, and I know they're just down the block from me if I have any problems or questions.

I called to ask for pricing on an oil change and mentioned that I was calling around to compare rates. The man I spoke with literally said, β€œIf you’re price matching, I’m not interested,” and refused to provide any pricing at all. In this economy, comparing prices is just being a smart consumer β€” so that response was shocking and completely unprofessional. The refusal to even give a basic quote gave me the impression that this is the kind of place where you drop your car off for a simple oil change and suddenly you’re being told a thousand other things are wrong. That alone made me decide I would never bring my vehicle here. I’m not interested in a response from the business β€” the interaction told me everything I needed to know. - ** UPDATED April 2026** Thanks for not disputing my review and instead focusing on the reviews i so honestly provided in the past! I find it refreshing that you're aware of your poor service and other reviews from others that support my claim. Thank God i didn't let you lay a finger on my luxury vehicle. I'm sure you would have messed it up even more just like you did the others... so yes, add ELMER'S to the list of POOR SERVICE PROVIDERS that I and M
