I took my 1988 corvette there and I told them of the many issues I had , they went over the car with a fine tooth comb and found All the things that I was concerned with .

I Highly recommend Smalley Automotive.

First time using Specialty Automotive because of a family reference. The staff and owner were…read morepolite and professional. My wife and son dropped off his 06 Benz wagon he just purchased to be checked out. Received a call from Gunther and explained everything that was done and what to keep an eye on. Extremely helpful and explained everything again to my wife when she paid for services. Appreciate that type of professionalism and straight forward communication. Did not try to up sell any other services. We will definitely be back and spread the word!!!! Thanks.

The reviews below are pretty accurate. This place is okay but far from very good. The car wash…read moretracks are broken the majority of the time so they literally drive it through instead of automated which tends to finish quicker. The end result is okay as there are window streaks, dirty wheels, mirrors always dirty or not dried etc etc. This is the first time I ever paid for the Mac daddy $32 because it was so cold out I didn't want to clean the inside myself. How can you pay $32 and not clean the mats or wipe down the door jams or move the mats and vacuum under? The manager came out after the guy washing the car alerted her and she said the mats are not included for $32 but I could pay extra $4 to have them cleaned. I guess $32 for a wash doesn't include a complete wash. I came home and basically had to wipe the entire car again and do the entire inside over. 2 stars might be generous. However if you pay for a basic outside wash only you don't feel as ripped off as you only expect so much.

I called a couple days prior to make an appointment and they said just bring it on by when I had time. They weren't kidding. I brought the car to them and within 20 minutes I was greeted, the car was checked out, then fixed, and I had paid and left. I can't believe it was so quick and painless and everyone was so friendly! 10/10 I recommend to anyone

Stay away from this shop if you value your time and money…read more I dropped off my 2017 Audi Q7 after hours and left a written note clearly stating that the steering rack had failed after a storm. I wasn't asking them to diagnose an unknown issue--I already knew the problem. I simply needed to know if they were able to repair it. Instead, they kept my vehicle for four days, then called me only to tell me exactly what I had already written in my note. After that, they admitted they couldn't perform the repair because they don't have anyone who can program the steering system. If they knew they weren't equipped to do this type of repair, they should have told me immediately instead of wasting four days of my time. They then charged me $170 for a diagnosis I never requested and even listed inspections that I never authorized. The worst part was their attitude. When I questioned why I was being charged for something I had already identified myself, instead of trying to resolve the issue professionally, they threatened to call the police. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop. I felt that my time and money were not respected, and I will never return. I strongly encourage others to look elsewhere for honest and professional service.

My favorite aspect of this shop, in particular, happens to be that they guarantee all of their work so if something goes wrong with the replaced or fixed part, whatever time limit they have agreed-upon; depending on the price points and work you got done, you get it repaired, again, completely for free (just in case you didn't know/fully understand what "our work is fully guaranteed" means). Not to mention take a look at the picture, which is also incentive as to why I made this post in the first place (: Trust me, you want to come here!
