Great shop, great communication , fair pricing. Wouldn’t take my Volvo or vehicles anywhere else!
Clint and the crew at P&A Smith are class acts. I’ve taken my Volvo there for 8+ years, and each time they are honest, efficient, and transparent with what needs to be done. Highly recommend!
Great service. Helpful and efficient. They value your time.
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 do quality work and have helped diagnose and repair issues other auto shops have misdiagnosed.
They always go out of their way to help us! Wonderful to work with! Always the best service!
Clint, I appreciate the work you have done on my volvo. The professionalism, quality of work, and friendliness ensure that I will be in further contact with you. Thank you, Ben
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…
Great staff, honest with great prices for repair or maintenance services
I had a wonderful experience at P & A Smith Auto Repair. I needed brake work and an oil change, and they provided both at a fair price. Their car drop-off service was convenient, and they reached out promptly the next day. Their communication was excellent, offering options and estimates before starting the work. I'll definitely be returning.
Knowledgeable and timely service.
Fantastic mechanic shop. Have brought my car here for well over 10years and they've always done a fantastic job and will let you know if a repair or treatment can wait and don't try to sell you services you don't want nor need. Highly recommend P & A Smith.
Willing to listen to your needs and provide professional services! Highly recommend it
I moved here 8 years ago & P&A Smith is the only place I go to take care of my Infiniti! They are honest, professional & always give the best service. I know nothing about cars so I completely rely on them to take care of my car, which they do. I highly recommend them. Always the best!
I find that P&A Auto does great work with strong customer care. I trust them with my car and with their assessments of what needs work.
P&A has been taking care of my cars for years. Their work is always excellent, their recommendations are spot on.
I wouldn't take my Volvo anywhere else. Clint is always professional and a pleasure to deal with. I feel they are very honest and fair with their estimates.
P&A is the best. High quality of service.
Great service and attention to detail. Always friendly and very accommodating. My Subaru and I are very happy at P&A Auto Maintenance!
