Quick and helpful. They let me bring my own parts and had everything installed in a day and a half. Great service.

They did a fine job on my auto. They were courteous, work was completed in a fair amount of time, the price was in line with the service completed. I have gone there before, this place was recommended by a neighbor, and I will use this service facility again. They are AAA recommened.

Brought my car in to check over my electrical before I wore down a new battery, like I had the day before. I installed a new battery and I had advance auto run a test to inspect alternator performance. They reported no issue. Technician at Dave Smith hooks up his battery and alternator tester, has me cycle the lights but not turn on the car (how do you test a generator without letting it generate...) Then tells me his device is reporting that it isn't producing enough power and needs to be replaced. Cool I'm game, I'll even go pick up the replacement. Test it at O'Reilly's, no issues. Decided to check at a SECOND advance auto location and again it reports no issue. Every single test required the engine to be running. It seems obvious why the technician at Dave Smith was reporting that it wasn't producing power, it wasn't connected to a running engine! I know that technician knows more about cars than I do, so I can only assume they know how to use their testers. Either they didn't know how to use their tools, or they were trying to rip me off. Either way it was worth writing this. Double check anything these guys recommend at another shop, and then get the work done at the other shop.

With Covid still a factor, I didn’t want to go to a large ‘Chain’ Service Center. The owner, was helpful & knowledgeable. The mechanic quickly completed my service. Great, affordable local business. Highly recommend.

Great service!

I am truly grateful for the great service that I receive from Dave Smith Auto. Mitch, an excellent mechanic, picks up my car at my worksite and returns it to me as well. Last year my Honda Fit broke down because the alternator was failing, and being 35 miles away, I had to go to not one, but two Honda dealerships for help. The first dealership said I would have to wait a week before they could look at it. The second dealership put in a new battery which was not needed, but I got my car back to Dave"s where the alternator was rebuilt and my car has been driving great ever since. Also, Honda said there is only one company that makes tires to fit my "Fit", but Dave Smith Auto gives me many options and fair pricing. I am happy to refer people to Dave Smith Auto because they have great mechanics, great customer service, and fair pricing.

Outstanding

I have taken my cars to Dave Smith many times over the years. Most recently, I took a car to get the PA state inspection and emissions done. They were ready to start at the appointed time, the service was done on time, the cost is fair, and they are courteous.


Dec 07, 2020

Very easy to work with very professional can courteous and polite great professionalism.


Dec 07, 2019

I recently had a 40 point AAA inspection at this facility. The mechanic was friendly and the service was great. I will be going back to them for my state inspection.


Dec 07, 2018

Honest and fast. This is my favorite place for inspection and emissions.


Dec 07, 2018

Told my car needed one thing done had that fixed then told something else needed done. Lack of communication from staff. Took car to get fixed came out making another noise that I now have to pay extra for. Will not take my car back.


Dec 07, 2018

over priced and does poor work quoted me over $250 (labor) to change a sensor and claimed it would take 3 hours. found a video on YouTube that was 7 minutes long, I jacked the car and undid 2 bolts swapped out sensors and was done in 13 minutes with the car back on the ground

I've used this garage twice. Prices were fair and the service is great. Most recently, I got my inspection done here and the mechanic actually brought be out on the floor and explained what was barely passing on the car and would need attention before winter- The fact he didn't pressure me into all those extras on the spot spoke volumes on their integrity.
