What Our Customers Are Saying

  • Huge huge shout out to Jeff Gatlin and his team at Ultimate Automotive for everything they did on my Runner today. No B.S, nothing I didn't need and addressed things on the suspension system that were faulty due to others mistakes. Only place to go if you want great pricing, honest diagnoses and to support an amazing Small, LOCAL Business owned by an amazing family.

  • I went there for tires and found out my brake pads were pretty much shot. They even showed them to me, and I am so thankful they pointed this out to me. When I saw my old brake pads from the front and back, I seriously couldn’t believe how bad they were. The waiting room has everything to help your wait comfortable. They are super nice, and I trust their recommendations, decisions, and work. Reasonable rates also. I’ll be a returning customer for sure for routine maintenance and any other car issues.

    Melissa Ann

  • Very satisfied with the new tires I received for my company vehicle. UA can handle fleet services with a breeze when other places complain to your face about having to do it. Very friendly and professional group of people to deal with. Will give you industry standard recommendations but not force a sale on you. Highly recommended and will have both my vehicles serviced here from now on. Thanks guys!

    Chelci Hymel 

  • My car is hitting 200,000 miles and I was nervous about bringing my kids on an 8 hour trip alone. After the 90 point inspection I was assured that I would make it there and back safely. I was given a report of what may be a concern soon with an estimate of cost I made an appointment and sat in the nice waiting room for less than an hour. Highly recommend

    Jo Lucido

  • This place is awesome. Very sweet people. They stayed in touch with me all day and gave me play by play of what was going on.. picked up my vehicle and dropped it back off to me because I had no other option. They didn’t do any work until I approved it. Prices were reasonable. They definitely went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be back!

  • Excellent work! Very helpful in explaining what was wrong and how to fix it! Worked great with you insurance company too! Very professional job all around! Would definitely recommend you give them a try!

    Laura Beach

  • Very professional. These guys took care of my car and explained everything to me. Great local business in Slidell! We will be back

    Lizzy Guttierrez 

  • I am not usually impressed with auto service shops but Ultimate Automotive is in a class by itself. The A/C in my 2010 Subaru failed, blowing hot & steamy, so I had them check it out. Don Stannard, the Service Manager, was great to deal with. He was personable and professional, quickly assessed the issue and his tech team came up with a smart and affordable solution. I was most pleased with the clear communication. Don took his time in explaining exactly what was wrong and what they could do to fix it. Best of all, it was finished precisely when promised and blowing icy cold now. (Jeff, these guys need a raise!) Really a great team you got there.

    Ken Newton

  • Had issues with my AC in my 2011 Mazda3, and I called them up. Explained my issues and the man was super helpful, and helped me identify the issue. Told me to come right in, and helped get in and out in just 3 hours! Price was reasonable and he explained everything to me, and overall it was an amazing and friendly experience. Loved the staff and I'm sure you'll love them too!!

    Richard Flix

  • Brought my truck in for an alignment after another shop in town tried three times and failed. Mind you my truck only has 60,000 miles and all of the suspension and steering are tight and in good working order. The guys at Ultimate were super thorough and transparent while looking over the truck to make sure there were no hidden issues preventing an alignment. They took great care of me and my vehicle because they take pride in the work they do. I will definitely be returning for future business!

  • My wife and 3 year old daughter were travelling thru Slidell (several hundred miles from home), when she heard a clunking noise from the front suspension of her car. She took it to Ultimate Automotive, by chance, because it happened to be near their motel. They got her in immediately, diagnosed the issue as a loose sway bar link, and tightened it up. All in less than an hour. They told her there was no charge, but my wife insisted on paying a nominal fee for the fast and honest service. They also told her of a couple of other very minor issues that they noticed that will need attention once she makes it home, too. I am so grateful that my wife and daughter found this place. And I am grateful for the help that they gave to get my family safely back on their way. There are still good people in this world, despite what the news may say, Praise The Lord.

  • My brother lives in New Orleans and was told that this shop will do quality work . From the moment I met Don I felt comfortable. The customer service from him and Taylor alone makes the experience wonderful. I sat and listen to the different customers come in the shop and most came in on recommendation of previous customers. Some customers were returning because of the quality work, prices and honesty. I watched as Don explained by showing a customer the actual part and the damage the broken part did to the engine. For me I was amazed, because explain to a customer and showing as well made the customer understand the problem, how to fix it and what else will happen if not fixed. Every worker who walked to the door spoke very respectful and polite. I have many thing’s wrong with my car. I was given a list from must needed done because of safety issue to issues I had a little time to fix. My report was very well explained to me by Don and why each problem was an issue. Prices were listed no hidden fees. I am getting all my issues resolved in steps starting with the shop’s recommendation. Each time I get an issue resolved my car is riding better, safer, and more reliable on the road. With this level of customer service from Don and Taylor alone I will never go anywhere else. My experience has exceeded my expectations of dealing with an automotive shop. Friendly, clean, reliable, knowledgeable, respectful people of your time, money and your vehicle who listens to your concerns, investigate and provide feedback easily shown and explained to you. Why go anywhere else? Please come and get the honest quality experience I received. Everyone who comes through the door receives the best.

  • Posted in a community group asking for repair guy recommendations. Ultimate Auto was tagged and Jeff immediately contacted me, we spoke briefly and within a few min brought my vehicle to him. I work offshore and would have to leave him with my vehicle for a few weeks. Throughout the entire repair process Jeff sent me pictures and videos of what seemed like every step he took, which was incredible and a sigh of relief as it felt like I was there watching from offshore. Repair was done with OE parts for a fraction of anyone else. Jeff and his team are pure professionals and made me feel more like family than a customer. I literally cannot recommend them more. I will continue to keep using them from now on and have already brought my other cars for oil changes and what not. Family will be coming here also. Do not even hesitate to get anything done here. Jeff and his team will get you back on the road. Period.
