These two brothers, Irvin and Edgar, and the mechanics that work with and for S.M.G. Auto Repair are pretty wonderful. Their work is good and thorough and they're competent and caring. I left my dealership because I was being treated poorly both in terms of pricing and service and thankfully found this business. I…
Irvin and his team are the best. I have gone here for years for a range of services across multiple vehicles. They are always efficient, honest and very fairly priced. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I moved here in August and I have never dealt with a mechanic before. My car was breaking what feels like every month when I first moved here. They were incredibly nice to me, always returned my calls, explained to me in terms that I would understand, and fixed my car efficiently. I called them to ask what noise my…
came here for new brake pads, rotors, and ABS sensor. This guy hooked me up fast - I picked it up only 5.5 hours after I dropped it. Pep Boys or the other chains will have you waiting days for that service. Plus great prices. He even told me I needed new tires without pushing them on me. Definitely coming here again.
I’ve been coming here for over a year now. I used to always go to the dealer for my work. These guys are always fast, open scheduling, and honest. They haven’t upcharged me or given me obscene list of things to get done. They fix everything I’ve needed fast and reasonably priced. They fix what I ask for and don’t…
They do good stuff up in there. I recommend everyone to atleast try it once
Irvin and his team has been our auto mechanic for so many years now. They have always taken good care of our cars and give reasonable cost as well. Always ready to help and fix cars problems.
Went in for brakes and asked them to also look over everything else: oil, fluids, filters, ect. They were incredibly professional. My initial phone call, he was already explaining what the issues might be and possible fixes/outcomes. They kept us informed the entire time, were very upfront about cost and before…
Amazing mechanic! Don't waste your time elsewhere. This business is professional, accommodating, and non-biased. Incredible prices and solid work. Needed brakes, rotors, oil change, and other small fixes. Prices were incredible and work was done within a few hours. I highly recommend!
This place was super quick and helpful when i came to them when my car was having issues. I talked to Irvin and he helped fix me up immediately and did so at a very good price. Will definitely come back here if I need some nice and quick help!
