Towed to Most Local Place
I’m new to the area and when my car broke down and had to get towed this was the closest mechanic. I ended up going to my dealership because my issue was covered under warranty, however Cass in the front office was extremely understanding, helpful, and kind. She had great customer service and was able to help me.
Angelo S., Owner/Operator from Smithwest Service Center responded on 01/23/2026 09:41 AM

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It is always nice to hear that our team, especially Cass, is making a positive impression on our customers. We're glad that she could provide you with the understanding and assistance you needed during what can be a stressful situation. While we would have loved to have been your go-to mechanic for the repair, we hope to be of service in the future should the need arise. Your feedback reminds us that good customer service can really make a difference !

Very bad
My car was brought there for a battery and alternator. They wanted to charge me over $1,550 for this service. I brought the car to another car service station and they only charged me $650. In addition, they seem to pad the labor hours when performing the service, telling me it takes 40 minutes to change a battery. It takes at most 10 minutes, I have done it many times.
Angelo S., Owner/Operator from Smithwest Service Center responded on 01/09/2026 04:57 AM

Regarding Your Recent Visit and Feedback

Dear Charles,

We are responding to your recent feedback to clarify the facts surrounding your visit.

Your junk vehicle has over 250,000 miles, and during your visit we diagnosed a failed alternator and battery. We presented you with multiple repair options, including the option of installing a used alternator to reduce cost. You declined all repair options and chose not to proceed with any work.

A diagnostic fee was charged for the time and expertise required to properly evaluate the vehicle. As with all customers, this fee applies regardless of AAA membership, as our technicians do not work without compensation. In addition we are glad you found a shop that suites your wallet.

Submitting a negative survey despite declining repairs does not accurately reflect the services provided or the options offered. We acted professionally, transparently, and in good faith throughout your visit.

We stand by our diagnosis, our pricing, and our business practices.

Sincerely,
A Scaglione
