Fantastic people, trustworthy and fast, effective diagnosis of tricky symptoms
Great shop, great communication , fair pricing. Wouldn’t take my Volvo or vehicles anywhere else!
As always the folks at P & A did a great job. Always fast and professional service. Totally recommend P&A!!
We can't say enough good things about P&A Smith. They are honest, reasonably priced, communicate clearly on any issues before moving ahead with work, and have clearly made sure we were not overcharged, which at one point included trying the repair to see if it worked and when it didn't, they removed it and didn't…
Discovered these guys several years ago. Honest and reasonable services. Much better customer service than the local dealership. We’ll be taking our Volvo to them for as long as we own it.
Have been a customer for years. They do quality work at reasonable prices. And they go the extra mile to help when needed, including staying open late to fix urgent issues.
Great service. Helpful and efficient. They value your time.
Clint at P and A is always courteous, honest and quick to get my Volvo in for service. Often repairs are done within the same day. Amazing!
P&A Smith Auto is everything you want in an auto shop and rarely find anymore. Clint and the entire team consistently treated me with respect and integrity, and they earned my trust every visit. They always gave me clear, honest assessments of my Jeep Grand Cherokee, especially when other shops didn’t. What truly…
The team at P&A Smith Auto is honest and great to work with. Trust all my Volvo maintenance and repair to them.
P&A Smith Auto Maintenance maintains our 2 Volvo's. Service provided could not be better. Both Volvo's are always at peak performance. The only Volvo maintenance facility I use since moving to the area 31 years ago. My Volvo V70 station wagon is 2008 and keeps going. Thank you P&A Smith
We’ve been having our cars serviced at P&A Smith for 10 years and we have found them to be professional and highly capable. For that reason we have recommended them to our friends
I have been using P&A Smith for a number of years on 3 or 4 different cars. Their service is always fantastic and their pricing reasonable. I highly recommend them.
They always go out of their way to help us! Wonderful to work with! Always the best service!
If/When you can find a good Mechanic you should keep them. P & A Smith Auto is a keeper.
P&A Smith is great. Their pricing is fair and honest. They never try to pressure us into services we don't need. The work they do is quality and they bend over backwards to make sure they keep you as a customer. We bring all our cars here now, even though they are not Volvos. I highly recommend P&A Smith.…
As usual, P&A was a pleasure to work with. I left my 2004 Toyota Matrix, with nearly a quarter-million miles, with them for an oil change and annual state inspection. It's my daily-driver "mini-pickup" for everything that doesn't require the Tundra's bed or brawn, so it is regularly "rode hard and put up wet". It…
I’ve used P&A Smith for years because they are honest, reliable, provide quality service, and are reasonably priced. They have terrific customer service. I have never been disappointed with the quality of their repairs nor how I’ve been treated by their staff.
Timely, accurate service!!!
Great staff, honest with great prices for repair or maintenance services
