They were great! Consistent communication with concise information. I paid 580 for a left lateral arm if that matters. I was recommended this place by a family member and I'm glad I came.

This is the only place to which I ever take my Jeep. They always get me in quickly and get me out timely. I don't think I've ever had an issue which they could not handle and they always discuss prices before attempting any work. No surprises. The entire team is very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Services: Steering & suspension repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Painting, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Oil change

I had a "specialty" install on my Jeep. I was new to the area and went several places, before someone finally suggested I try Smith Specialty Automotive. From that day to this, I never go anywhere else. Always friendly and courteous; Jordan, Michael, Dave and the entire crew are wonderful. They schedule me at a time of my convenience when I need regular maintenance (and send me reminders if I forget).
They have been extremely honest with me and are very reasonable, always discussing price with me before performing any work. No surprises. They are very conveniently located and I trust them with my vehicle.which in a very real way means that I trust them with my life!

Quality work, easy scheduling, and fair prices. Car had an oil leak, I dropped it off in the morning and picked it up before the end of the work day. Jordan was helpful and followed up with me to ensure he had done things right, which he did. This is a no nonsense, trustworthy shop that I will be returning to for future repairs and maintenance.
