S.M.G. Auto Repair for oil change
Clear ✕All 11 Google reviews tagged “Oil change”
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…
Initially called to ask about oil change pricing. Man on the phone was professional, polite, detailed and informative. Scheduled an appointment over the phone. Took my car first thing in the morning. They finished in about 30 minutes or less. Price is fair. They don’t overcharge you. I will be coming back for my next oil change.
I had a great experience at SMG Auto Repair and wanted to give a huge thank you to Irvin (Boss Man!) for taking care of me. I called ahead to ask if they would allow me to bring my own oil and filters for my Mercedes‑Benz GLB 250, and they were completely open to it. When I arrived, Irvin was incredibly helpful,…
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!
Great auto repair shop in Hollywood with great prices. You won't come out disappointed from an auto repair that keeps it honest with the customer. I've had multiple services done at this location from A/C, Suspension, Tires, Oil Change, and Brake fluid change. Ask for Irvin, and he will help you out.
