Your Neighborhood Shop Since 1998

When Mike Callahan opened Elm Street Garage over 25 years ago, he made a simple promise: tell every customer exactly what's wrong with their car, what it'll cost to fix, and how long it'll take. No surprises, no upsells, no runaround.

That philosophy hasn't changed. Today our team of six ASE-certified technicians handles everything from routine oil changes to full engine rebuilds, and we still call you before we do any work you didn't ask for.

What We Do

Full-service auto repair for domestic and import vehicles

Oil Changes & Tune-Ups

Synthetic and conventional oil changes, spark plug replacement, and scheduled maintenance to keep your engine running clean.

Brake Service

Pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid flush, ABS diagnostics, and complete stopping-system inspections.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light diagnosis, computer scanning, and driveability troubleshooting using factory-level scan tools.

Transmission Repair

Fluid services, solenoid replacement, and full transmission rebuilds for automatic and manual gearboxes.

AC & Heating

Refrigerant recharge, compressor replacement, heater core repair, and complete climate control diagnostics.

Tires & Alignment

Tire mounting, balancing, rotation, and four-wheel alignment to extend tire life and improve handling.

No Surprises, Ever

We walk you through every repair before we start. You'll see the worn part, understand why it matters, and approve the cost in writing. If we find something unexpected during a job, we call you first.

Every repair comes with a 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty. If something we fixed isn't right, bring it back and we'll make it right at no charge.

What Nashville Drivers Say

Took my Accord in for a noise I thought was the transmission. Turned out it was just a loose heat shield — they fixed it for $85 and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need.

Sarah K. Customer since 2019

These guys saved me over a thousand dollars compared to the dealership quote on my Jeep's AC compressor. Honest, fast, and they even gave me a ride home while they worked on it.

Marcus T. Customer since 2021

I've been bringing every car our family owns here for six years. They remember your name, they don't talk down to you, and the work is always done right the first time.
