These guys are fantastic. Sam helped me investigate a used McLaren purchase and found problems that called it off! A godsend!!!

Smyth Imported Car Service appeared to be the shop that could make my 1969 MGB GT run as good as it possibly could. Essentially I was requesting a expert tune up. That is what I received. Sam and his son sorted out the ignition and carburetors replacing many parts including the entire fuel system, and the gas tank. The results are gratifying. This MG is fun to drive again, almost like new. This is said after driving over 400 miles in 3 months since Smyth worked on the car. I reserved one review star because of the cost of this work. read more

I was looking for someone to service my 1927 Dodge Brothers Fast Four. I searched and found most wanted nothing to do with the car. I email Sam on Saturday figuring he answered back during business hours during the week, he called me, and we talked for about 20 minutes, and he asked if he could come over and look at the car to help pick the right path. He showed up on Sunday, spent 2+ hours checking things out and trying things. he recommended I drop the gas tank, get it cleaned and coated and flush the fuel system lines and change the fuel filter. I did that and the car runs great for a 95-year-old car. There is some other work that needs to be done and SAM said he would recommend people if he can't do it. Thanks to Sam, I have a running 1927 Dodge Brothers Fast Four. Honestly, you don't find service like this very much. He treated me as part of the family. I recommend him to everyone I talk to that needs a mechanic, and a few that were not even asking for one. It is so refreshing that Sam talks with you and down to you. I was a mechanic and still play and do some of my own service work. Most mechanics still talk down to me and think that they can BS someone. Not, Sam, he is honest, straightforward forward and a breath of fresh air. He will be my servicer for my 1927 Dodge Brothers Fast Four and other vehicles. read more

Sam Smyth Imported Car Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I highly recommend Sam Smyth for service work on classic vehicles. He repaired my 1965 Land Rover which I brought to him with a horrible misfire which made the car basically undriveable. He was a true pleasure to work with, made the correct diagnosis of the problem, and was able to repair it quickly. The car runs better than it has in decades. His work is affordable, and lower than dealership prices. He allows his customers to source any needed parts themselves, saving money. Most importantly he has a ridiculous level of experience, and in my case, knew my car backwards and forwards, as he has owned many of these over his lifetime. He has the rare ability to look over the car and quickly point out potential issues. He was very gracious to help me work up a maintenance list for my vehicle. I highly recommend his shop. read more

I recently met-up with Sam Smyth of "Sam Smyth Imported Car Service" on Remington Road, Cincinnati, Ohio. I had electrical, charging and maintenance problems with the dual-car batteries in my car. I found Sam to be quite knowledgeable on the subject as guided me through my situation. It was readily apparent that he has a deep knowledge and an equal amount of passion for his craft. He is also quite engaging. He took me from theory of operation right through to the final repair. I am "all-set" now, thanks to Sam. His shop is factory certified by Bentley as well as other car manufacturers, so if you are in the area with whatever car you drive, it would behoove you to "check-in" with Sam.

So I'm a bit late posting this review but I feel it needs to be done. I had stopped in during my lunch break and found no one was home. I called the number on the door and got an answer immediately. Sam told me he was right around the corner and to hang out. Within two minutes he was there with his son and invited me in. Now I was a bit intimidated asking about my old Jag X-type while there were RR and Bentleys up on the lifts. Well it didn't take long to figure out that my fears were ill founded. You could not meet a nicer, more trustworthy family. He could have told me right away that he was booked up on bigger more expensive projects and to take a hike but that never happened. I was invited inside the office and offered a beverage. They went above and beyond what was needed as we sat and talked for about 20 minutes, going over options for my $5k car, hunting down parts and recommending a good place that would be able to see me. The only thing greater than his generosity is his knowledge of vehicles. Very impressive. read more
