North Dakota’s Top Rated Local® Auto Shops Award Winner: Elite Automotive Center

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Elite Automotive Center is a 2019 award winner for auto shops in North Dakota!

When you need reliable, professional auto service in Fargo, there’s no better shop to turn to than Elite Automotive Center.

Elite Automotive Center has received dozens of reviews with an average rating of 4.60 stars, earning them a tremendous Rating Score™ of 86.99 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 auto shops in all of North Dakota!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“Hands down, [this is] one of the best places in Fargo/Moorhead that I’ve been to. [They have] great customer service. They take the time to explain things without even having to ask, and that really makes me feel like a valued customer. [They have a] nice, clean, welcoming environment and friendly staff. I’ll definitely be going here for all my vehicle needs.” – Kenzie L.

Not Your Average Auto Shop

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Philip, who co-owns Elite Automotive Center with Bryan.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Philip about what makes Elite Automotive Center unique compared to the many other auto shops in North Dakota. Philip told us:

“We will take care of people’s needs, whatever it takes to get the repairs done. We work with their budget instead of forcing them to pay for everything and the kitchen sink.”

Philip went on to tell us that Elite Automotive Center is Fargo’s best-kept secret!

We also asked Philip about the Elite Automotive Center mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s his response:

“Our mission is to make auto repair affordable for all our customers. We are a lot more transparent, and we never settle for standard service.”

Building Success by Meeting Clients’ Needs

Philip credits Elite Automotive Center’s strong online reputation to their commitment to tailoring their service to their customers’ vehicles and needs, whether they want to keep their vehicle in the family or to keep it going for another year.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Elite Automotive Center has grown through Facebook, by networking with other local businesses and by advising more from their hearts than their wallets — which leads to repeat customers.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Philip’s expert advice for them:

“Take care of your customer, and keep it personal. You are not going to be able to service customers how you like. …Keep the right people in place; keep your team members happy; be cordial with everyone. Build the right culture with your team…”


Congratulations to Elite Automotive Center for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Philip, for taking the time to speak with us!
