Great place good service
Professional and helpful service. Did a diagnostic on my wife’s explorer unfortunately it needed a lot of repairs so we ended up trading in the car for a brand new one. But they were very thorough on what needed replaced and what didn’t need repairs! Highly recommend them
Westin, Thank you so much for the kind words and recommendation! While we're sorry to hear the Explorer needed more repairs than made sense to pursue, we're glad our thorough diagnostic helped you and your wife make the best decision for your situation. That's exactly what we're here for — honest, detailed information so our customers can make informed choices, even if that means pointing you in a different direction. We wish you many happy miles in your new vehicle and hope you'll keep us in mind for all your future automotive needs! Thank You, The Smith Automotive Team
Wow ! Very friendly staff ! I went to the wrong location as they have various locations. Even though I was 20 minutes late they still serviced my car. Fast service, very detailed. Unlike other shops they do not pressure you into getting everything on your car fixed but simply provided a diagnostics. Not to mention complimentary snacks and great coffee ! I will be returning here for an oil change. Thanks !
Kali, Wow, thank you for the amazing review! We're so glad we could work you in even after the mix-up with locations — life happens, and we never want a small hiccup to get in the way of taking care of our customers! We truly believe in giving you honest, pressure-free information so YOU can make the best decisions about your vehicle. A thorough diagnostic without the hard sell is just how we do things here. We're also happy the snacks and coffee hit the spot! We can't wait to see you and your Malibu back for that oil change. Thanks for choosing Smith Automotive!

Great service. Friendly people. They took me home and then picked me up to get the car. The inspection was thorough and specific about costs.
Marilyn, Thank you for the fantastic review! We know your time is valuable, and we're so glad we could make the process as convenient as possible by getting you home and back again. That's the kind of service we love to provide! We're also happy to hear the inspection was thorough and that the costs were clear upfront — no surprises is always the goal.

Friendly fast service. Done well. I wished I had been told about the 150$ inspection ahead of time.
Thank you for the kind words and for trusting Smith Automotive with your vehicle! We're so glad you experienced our friendly, fast service and that the work was done to your satisfaction. We also really appreciate the honest feedback about the inspection fee. You're absolutely right — our customers should always be informed of any charges upfront, and we're sorry that didn't happen this time. We'll use this as a reminder to make sure we're communicating costs clearly before any work begins. We hope to earn your full confidence next visit! Thank You Smith Automotive Team Des Moines
Zac was great to work with, and kept us up to date with everything. There were no surprises, except the job coming in slightly less than estimated. The quality of the work and the customer service were the best we have ever had in town. Will be back with any future auto needs. My family was able to enjoy our 1400 mile road trip with safety and confidence in the maintenance provided by Smith's.
Jason, What an incredible review — thank you so much! We will absolutely pass along your kind words to Zac, he truly exemplifies the standard of service we strive for every day. Coming in under estimate is always a great feeling, and we love that there were no surprises along the way — that's exactly how it should be! Most importantly, knowing that your family was able to enjoy a safe and confident 1,400 mile road trip after trusting us with your vehicle means everything to us. That's why we do what we do! We look forward to being your go-to shop for all your future automotive needs. Safe travels! Best Regards, The Smith Automotive Team
Very attentive to my needs.
