Had an unknown, loud noise and my car was struggling to start on very cold mornings. They found and corrected what was causing the noise and installed a new battery. Everyone I dealt with, Russ and Rusty, were great to deal with.
Thanks Mathew! You were great to work with as well!
Have used Smith Automotive before and they are great people. Will be using them again for my rear wiper arm.
These guys are great! The pre-work inspection was the best I've ever experienced. I'm almost eager for the next work needed on one of my vehicles!

We put a lot of effort into making sure everything is thorough and clearly explained. We’ll be ready whenever your vehicle needs us next—hopefully not too soon, but we’ll take it! – Smith Automotive
Hi Kayla, We appreciate the 5 stars—thanks for trusting us with your vehicle! – Smith Automotive
I’ve been very pleased with their service. My mom has now given up her mechanic and switched to Smith’s.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you've been pleased with our service — and we're especially honored that your mom has made us her go-to shop as well! Welcome to the Smith Automotive family! We'll make sure to take great care of you both for years to come.
They provided me with an inspection of my car regarding what repairs are needed.

We're glad we could provide that transparency for you. We look forward to helping you keep your car running its best!
Great service and even accommodated things for me to pick up my vehicle early for a family matter: highly recommend.
Very knowledgeable and professional staff.
