I almost never leave reviews as they are often fake or false but in the case of the family running smart automotive I had to leave reviews for their absolutely honest & stellar service anywhere I can post. Their kindness, honesty & no frills approach to car maintenance is beyond anything I'd ever experienced in my life & actually has restored some of my faith in humanity. They did absolutely stellar work, in a quick & timely fashion on a day before a holiday when most shops would close their doors & have you hanging over the weekend/holiday. In my case they not only saved me money, they ensured I was able to retrieve my car before the weekend when I was having difficulties getting to the shop. Thank you Rob, Deanna & family!! You all truly are a godsend & it's appreciated! read more

Purchased an '04 Cavalier this past weekend and my girlfriend, who has been completely satisfied with SMART AUTOMOTIVE for the past 15 years, recommended that I take it in for a check-up. My work schedule is kind of tight, so we dropped it off after work yesterday and picked it up this afternoon, with all communication and payment done over the phone as my girlfriend could not go there during the day, nor myself. There's a drop box for your keys, so makes it very convenient and Rob was very accommodating. Rob ended up doing a complete inspection (on and off the rack) and test drove the car as I thought I may have heard the bearings, but it just ended up being road noise. I also noticed the temperature gauge may not be working as it seemed stuck in the middle, never at zero. Front brake pads and rotors were replaced as Rob found the pads had about 20% of life left. When I went to pick up the car, the receipt only showed charges for the brake job. No charge for the inspection! Plus, the icing on the cake was when I got in the car to leave and noticed the temperature gauge was now sitting at zero. You want an honest mechanic, who not only performs excellent work, but goes the extra mile, above and beyond regular expectations? Go SMART AUTOMOTIVE! You won't regret it. We certainly don't! THANK YOU ROB! You and your team are real examples and set the bar very high. I will recommend you guys first whenever the need arises and certainly return in the future for any needed repairs. read more

I should mention that I have worked as a mechanic in the past. In 20 years of being a customer, Smart Automotive is the only shop I even consider when I cannot or will not do a repair or maintenance task myself. Rob and his staff are skilled, honest, reliable, and stand behind their work. So I think that states it all. read more

I'm writing this review after not going to this place for a while. But I thought about this place today because I just had a third mechanic today tell me that the catalytic converter was a total hack job. It was an after market converter and not put on well at all. And it wasn't really cheap where it makes sense that it was a horrible job. I'd pass on this place, I moved on a while ago. read more

I love this auto shop. The owners are friendly and honest. They have become like family. I definitely recommend this place. Got a second opinion from here. I'm so glad I came here instead. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the team at Smart Auto - and I must admit; I'm embarrassed I haven't written a review yet even after years of fantastic service. First off, this is a local, family owned business and supporting the underdog has always been a priority to me. I remember my first visit to Smart Auto almost ten years ago when I took my very first car in and learned that the transmission was shot. As any 17 year old slaving away making only $5.15 an hour would do, I cried my eyes out at this news while Rob (owner) explained what would need to be done. He referred me to a transmission shop just down the street and made sure I was taken care of. Ever since this experience, I have been 100% paranoid about every noise, unusual vibration, etc. my vehicle makes, and Smart Auto has always been there to answer my questions and provide some "auto Zen" and peace of mind. I can't even list how many times I've brought my car in to Rob, worried that it would explode, and was reassured by his clear and concise explanation of exactly what was happening and IF anything needed to be done. The "IF" is emphasized for a reason - this guy does NOT participate in bullsh**, upselling or generally draining of one's bank account just for fun. He's an honest guy and does fantastic work. I've even called him from Hawaii (where I now live) with "super urgent" (my words, not his) questions regarding a wheel bearing - this guy deserves an award just for dealing with me. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for a top notch, grade A mechanic. read more

I have used this repair shop for at least a dozen years. Rob is on top of things and knows his business. He is work is excellent, his work ethics is superb, and he stands behind what he does. He also lets me know in advance maintenance that should be taken care of in the near future. I highly recommend this shop. read more
