In a time when kindness is sadly hard to come by, Sam went above & beyond to help me out this week! He didn’t know me from Eve but took time to solve my car’s needs in such a generous way. Deeply grateful & highly recommend!Service: Auto battery replacement

I had an electrical issue on my '06 Aston Martin DB9. As I'm new to the area I found Sam Smyth online. Based on the great reviews I took the car there. Patrick fixed the issue and the car is as new again. Sam Smyth and son, Patrick, are both very knowledgeable when it comes to exotic/older cars. Highly recommend them and will have the car serviced there going forward!Service: Electrical

Finally purchased a long-time dream car of mine, an Aston Martin DB9 convertible. With no dealer in the vicinity I took it to Smyth Imported Car Service for some routine maintenance and check-out, having used them for service on several sports cars in my earlier lifetime. I'm extremely happy to report that the upcoming generation, Patrick Smyth, provided the same great service as I had always experienced. He is a professional and extremely devoted to his work, paying exceptional attention to detail. I have no qualms now about where I will be taking my Aston Martin for all its service and repair needs, Smyth Imports. Thanks again Patrick!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Sam went out of his way to not only fit us into his busy schedule, but also to help us out financially throughout the process. He made sure to recommend only necessary items and did the work at an extremely reasonable rate. He also has taken quite a bit of time out just to discuss the car with me to make sure that I was knowledgeable about what was going on. He and his son Patrick are kind and great to work with!

Trustworthy, honest and a wealth of knowledge! Sam is not you’re ordinary mechanic. He’s straight forward and to the point. He’s gonna tell you up front the real issue and price and not just string you along like my previous mechanic has. I called in to schedule a time to have my 2009 BMW 328i x-drive looked. I left that call learning more about my car than I ever knew. He was spot on. Sam had never even seen my car and just by listening to me explain the issues I was having, he was able to diagnose the problem. Sam has saved me a lot of money just by being upfront and honest. I greatly appreciate him. I highly recommend you use Sam Smyth as your mechanic. Your just wasting money if you go anywhere else.

I own a Porsche and an MG. My initial experience with Sam was excellent! Very knowledgeable and super courteous with his time to trouble shoot a brake issue I had on the Porsche. It’s great to find a passionate, trustworthy mechanic I can count on for any future work I’ll need done. Thanks again Sam!Service: Auto maintenance

I Highly recommend Sam Smyth. I went looking for someone to do the body restoration of my 1964 Austin Mini and found Smyth Imports among a very short list of local shops. I made an appointment over the phone Mr. Smyth, and sent him preliminary photos of the car. Although the engine was out and he could not see it in person, he spent a good hour talking through a variety of options with me at his shop. He showed me examples of his work in progress, his methods, and helped me with ideas for pricing at various levels of restoration. Ultimately, he recommended another shop he felt would better suit my needs and budget. He recommended the towing service he uses for his business, as well as services for glass removal. Even though I am in the process of negotiating work with another shop, he offered to be available if I have any questions throughout the process, and even offered to come look at the car if I had concerns with the work. I went in looking for advice and walked away with a solid plan, thanks to the generosity of his time and his enthusiasm for the project and these little cars.Services: Body & Trim

HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY!!!I recently purchased a 2016 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus S-Line with 74,000+ miles from a Local Dealership. I initially encountered issues with pricing and some other integrity issues related to their business practices. This is a dealership that is on every side of town and across state lines in IN and KY. I had looked for weeks to find this Audi. I drove over to KY and performed a test drive…CARFAX was clean, One owner, etc. I was informed that the safety inspection was completed. I then had the car transferred to the local OH dealership, purchased, and took delivery. One concern I had was that the “safety inspection” had not been performed. There were no signs that the engine compartment had been touched, as it was still quite dirty from their June possession date of trade-in.Sooo…the day after I took delivery of the vehicle, the “Add a quart of oil” yellow warning light illuminated. I had had driven the vehicle app. 60 miles. When the “eggs are cheaper in the country” dealership promised to perform an additional safety inspection, clean the engine compartment, and a list of other concerns that clearly indicated that IF an inspection had been performed, these things were “missed”. To address the “add oil” warning, they performed an oil and filter change, placed a sticker on the windshield for the next oil change due in 01/23. All was good? NOPE…driving a few hundred miles later, the “add oil” warning light came on again.Being extremely concerned at this point, I called Smyth Imported Car Service, Inc and described my situation. Even though they had no available appointments, they told me to bring the Audi to them and they would take a look to see if they could resolve my issue. Not only did they find the problem, they fixed it and I was on my way! The problem… THE OIL AND FILTER WAS BLACK AS COAL..obviously had not been changed a couple weeks ago! I witnessed the color of the oil being drained from my car, as well as the filter that was removed! (See photos)What I am expressing is not only did Smyth go above and beyond WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE to get my car in immediately, but they were able to show what it means to be in the hands of an HONEST BUSINESS! They have kept in touch with me the last couple of days to make sure I was no longer getting the warning light! I have not! I not only have a peace of mind with my recent investment, I have found a trustworthy place to take my vehicle for service. This is a RARE find! Who would think that something like an OIL CHANGE would be in question?Thank YOU Sam and Patrick for your kindness and expertise and caring to take the time to help me when I had no other options…not even the Audi dealership.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

I have a 94 Defender and Sam was great to work with. He knows his stuff and knows who to call to get parts for this vehicle which can be somewhat challenging in these times. I highly recommend him.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I'm a big review person. I was looking for a place to take my car because the check engine light came on. I have a Jaguar F-Pace. After reading reviews, I decided on Smyth Imported. I made the best choice. I received awesome service, very friendly and knowledgeable and provided me with great information regarding my vehicle. Thanks Sam and Patrick for all you do!!

Great Attention from Sam! I had questions my cars transportation and called Sam just to ask his help. He could not have been more helpful! He was available after hours with my questions and then helped me get exactly what I needed for my car. Highly recommend Sam and Smyth service.

I regret that I have not written this review earlier. Sam Smyth is the BEST! I purchased a 1973 MGB and immediately took it to Sam Smyth to check it out from top to bottom. Well, it needed a ton of work to say the least. Total rewiring, new fuel pump, fuel line, complete exhaust, new gas tank, new carbs. New about everything you name it, it was worked on (Sam, feel free to comment on this and add everything). Sam was great at communicating to me about his work, and was very patient with me as I would drop in to see his progress. It is very rare to find someone so passionate about his work. I will only trust Sam to work on my MGB. I will happily continue to use him again, and recommend everyone to trust this man with the work!Services: Electrical

Restoring my 1972 MGB. It’s been quite the process, but Sam has been great to work with, professional, extremely knowledgeable, honest (hard to find in this industry) and a pleasure to deal with. Give yourself some extra time for your visits because he knows his stuff and has stories to go along with it. Always a pleasure.He sends me update pictures in detail of the work on a regular basis, being I now reside in Florida. With work being almost complete and in the home stretch, I can honestly say, I will never take a classic car to another shop. The MGB looks amazing and runs like a gem.What car are we doing next Sam? Guess I better hit the auction blocks. CheersServices: Oil change
