I would not trust him to fix a tricycle much less a car. He's shop damaged my transmission when he did a flywheel change costing me over 4000dollars. He's shop use to be good but don't take responsibility when they mess up. first of all it was not 6weeks it was 14 days and I actually talked to you in person and said you damaged 1t then you went to Mexico a week later so this is not the first time you are hearing about it. When in for flywheel change and it came back out with damaged transmission. 2 weeks later. I have witnesses in fishtown that will attest to this and a receipt showing 2 weeks. When I told you about it you said you were going on vacation for 2 weeks to Mexico just before Thanksgiving. Had to wait 2 more weeks to get my key back off you cause you were in Mexico. Never had a problem with my transmission till your shop moved. It 14 days later I have major transmission problems right before Thanksgiving. The starter you did still don't work half the time.

My best friend and me were on a Roadtrip thru the states. We had bought our van in New York and before Boston we had a problem with the engine. It wasn't running on all 8 cylinders and we had a lot of vibrations when going above 15 mph. After trying numerous workshops along our route. We made it to Philly. After a few attempts at different workshops we found Smittys Auto Repair which was recommended to us by an other workshop who didn't want to work on our van. After speaking with Tommy (Owner) he asked us to check for a few things ourselves because at the time he was to busy to look at it. Unfortunately we still didn't know what the issue was so we went to Tommy again a day later. He checked our car (even though we didn't have an appointment) and found the issue after 10 minutes. The spark plug of the second cylinder of bank 1 was oily. He allowed us to purchase a special spark plug (with a defouler) at autozone over his company so we'd get it cheaper than usual. He even called autozone in advance to let them know that we're coming so we wouldn't have an issue there. He didn't even charge us anything for his work. It was really good to finally have someome who could tell you what the issue was and who was really honest and helpful. We had other workshops who would tell us to exchange the throttle body for 500 dollar or exchange the whole ignition system for 800 dollar to set a basis and start from there. Tommy found the problem in like 10 minutes. He was really honest and helpful. He is a trustworthy man and if I would live in Philly my car/Van/truck would never see another workshop than Smittys Auto Repair because you can simply rely on him. Tom, vielen Dank du hast uns wirklich weiter geholfen und wir sind dir unfassbar dankbar für deine schnelle und kompetente Hilfe! Das Auto läuft auch nach wie vor gut und wir schaffen es hoffentlich bis nach Kalifornien! Danke für alles! So Gott will sehen wir uns hoffentlich auf ein Bier wieder! Der Abend geht dann auf uns ;)

Tom was very very helpful! He took the time to hear our problem and although he was busy for the next days, he gave us advice what we could do to find the issue and possible solutions. After we investigated the issue further, we came back and he took a more thorough look at it and we finally found the issue. He was even kind enough to bring a diagnostic toolkit the next day, so we could verify the findings. Really rare to find this kind of mechanics. Would recommend 100% without doubt. Even the guy from the AutoZone told us, that Tom was an amazing guy.

Stopped by in a pinch on my way out of the city with low air in my tire. The mechanic was super nice and helpful! he was able to plug the tire with the few bucks of cash i had on me right there on the spot. Couldn't be happier! Honest workers!

Great work done fast and the price is fair too. Well under competitor's quotes. They replaced a radiator, a/c compressor, power steering cooler, etc. on my Lincoln Navigator. Huge job that was done in one day! I highly recommend this shop.

Tommy is the BEST MECHANIC in the Fishtown area! Extremely reasonable pricing & he's such a knowledgeable mechanic & same day service! He's been taking care of my cars for the past 10 years! And again TOMMY is the BEST MECHANIC in Fishtown!

Can't speak of their actual work but the knowledge isn't great. I have a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood 273ci that has a ISC Idle Speed Control motor that needs adjusting due to new one being fitted. After calling them and explaining what I had and what I need (the ISC adjusting due to new motor) the mechanic who answered the phone kept on saying IAC and they can't be adjusted My car doesn't have a Idle Air Control. After repeating myself at least 5 times, I just said ok and hung up. Worse part is this garage (smitty) was recommended by a guy I was talking to in NJ at a car show. Again this is not a review on their work but their knowledge.
