REVIEWS

I took my Volvo in for one thing and wouldn't you know 5 other things needed attention. My issues were sorted and resolved with great frustration of my mechanic. Would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a trusted mechanic esp Volvo oriented.

Joshua Ellison

This is my main go-to auto shop for both my Toyota and Ford. These guys are fair, honest and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Carl D

Been going to P&A Smith for over 20 years with various volvos and other vehicles. You don't do this unless you have total trust in a business. They have my complete trust and have earned it many times.

Tires

What can I say? These guys were my guardian angels yesterday. I was up the street and when I got out of my car heard a loud noise and realized it was air leaking out of my tire at a fast rate. I quickly googled and found P & A Smith Auto. I immediately called and spoke to Eric. They took care of me quickly and effectively. While I know it ended up just being a tire plug, you can tell they care about their customers and know what they are doing. Had a good chat with the owner and felt like I gained a new friend and shared stories with a fellow business owner. We always like to support small businesses and wouldn't hesitate to go there again!

Renee Hillman

Jackie Schmidt

Knowledgeable staff, available when you need help, competitive pricing!!

Brakes

I had a wonderful experience at P & A Smith Auto Repair. I needed brake work and an oil change, and they provided both at a fair price. Their car drop-off service was convenient, and they reached out promptly the next day. Their communication was excellent, offering options and estimates before starting the work. I'll definitely be returning.

Stuart Ward

European & Import Vehicle Repair

We used P&A for all our automotive services when we had a Volvo, Mazda, and a VW. Over time those cars were replaced by three Toyotas (2004 Matrix, 2008 Tundra, 2016 Prius) and it became more convenient (if somewhat more expensive) to take them all to the nearer Toyota dealer. When I took the Matrix to the dealership for its NC state inspection I was surprised to hear that it failed due to "leaking steering pump return line", and that replacing all three lines (along with a long-known leaking valve cover gasket) would amount to a major fraction of the worth of the car. The dealership wouldn't clear the block on the state inspection until it was repaired. I took it to P&A and not only did they diagnose that the problem was really only the leaking valve cover gasket (which took some effort to discern) but P&A's estimate to replace the gasket was half that of the dealership. Plus, they worked it into the next day's schedule. Clint was very accommodating! As a result, we will be taking the Matrix and the Tundra to P&A from now on. (The Prius still has a little warranty left.) Very highly recommended!

Chip Davis

Honest, quality repairs at a good price.

Knowledgeable and timely service.

Brian Trabulsi

Fantastic mechanic shop. Have brought my car here for well over 10years and they've always done a fantastic job and will let you know if a repair or treatment can wait and don't try to sell you services you don't want nor need. Highly recommend P & A Smith.

General Services

Have been using P&A Smith Mechanics for about 8 years. They are excellent, reliable, pretty good pricing, very good work quality. I had my alternator replaced, timing belt and water pump replaced, general service and maintenance, 100K service, etc. IF you are looking for an excellent all around, reliable mechanic in the Wake County area look no further than here.

They are the only people that I trust to work on my Volvo after having a bad experience at the Volvo dealership!! They're great at what they do and don't try sell you services that you don't need. They were able to change the timing belt on my car with short notice so that I felt confident taking it on a road trip. They are my go to for all services for my car!

This place is wonderful, excellent service. They were very down to earth and professional and the waiting area was pleasant and immaculate. I am going back soon to have more work done.

This time we had to stay and wait for our truck to be checked out and oil change, etc. They were very accommodating by getting it finished in a very short time. Very enjoyable to go there, and very pleased with their service!

Linda Larsen

As always, great service and very fair prices. THE place to take a Volvo for service!

Chris Schlenker

Amazing experience and amazing people! They not only gave me an honest price, but kept me updated the entire process and ended up coming in at even a lower price and quicker pick up date than expected! The people here are kind, answer every question, and look out for the customer the entire process. This was my first time here and I'll definitely come back any time I need car services! Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Jackie Kopchinsky

My experience with P&A Smith was absolutely great. The water pump went out on my Volvo, I called P&A Smith, they had it in the shop that morning and called me that evening to pick up. Very professional, very fast and excellent guys to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a Volvo.

Corey Honeycutt

Hands down the best auto mechanics in the region. Honest - Affordable - Polite - Competent. I drive the extra miles just to get the peace of mind needed and great work done on my Corolla. Cale and Clint do a great job helping me out!

Ted D

Great job, delivered when they said, for a reasonable price.

Ben Goodwin

P&A Smith is a first class operation - I wouldn't trust just anyone with our 25-year-old Volvo! Chris and his crew are professional, thorough and skilled - a great combination.

Jane Anderson

Excellent! Quick service. My engine light was on when I arrived and now its off. My car is running like it was when I originally bought it. The quotes were accurate and I wasn't pressured into buying services I didn't need. The mechanic was honest from the beginning and called to discuss the progress. I will definitely return.

Dyani Mayers

Nancy Hannah

Clint and the team members are always professional and the repairs are performed correctly.

Joe Hunter

P&A Smith is great. Their pricing is fair and honest. They never try to pressure us into services we don't need. The work they do is quality and they bend over backwards to make sure they keep you as a customer. We bring all our cars here now, even though they are not Volvos. I highly recommend P&A Smith. Update - Still using them in 2021 and service is still fantastic. Still highly recommend. Update - Still using them in 2022 and service is still fantastic. Still highly recommend.

Mike Lopez

I moved here 8 years ago & P&A Smith is the only place I go to take care of my Infiniti! They are honest, professional & always give the best service. I know nothing about cars so I completely rely on them to take care of my car, which they do. I highly recommend them.

Gretchen Street

The only place I take my Volvo now after a bad experience with the dealership. They are friendly, professional and don't overcharge.

I wouldn't take my Volvo anywhere else. Clint is always professional and a pleasure to deal with. I feel they are very honest and fair with their estimates.

Stephens Family

P&A is the best. High quality of service.

Edward Ellerson

After being price-gouged for years at the dealership, we had P&A recommended to us and have use them exclusively for over a decade. We go to them for all our car needs. If they don't have the expertise they have a large network of vendors who can take care of your needs. We love the fact that they are so easy to work and will always call you back. They are on-time with doing the work and get the cars back to us when they say they will. We don't go anywhere else than P&A!

David de Tenley

All I can say is that 5 stars aren?t enough for P&A Smith. I have been visiting them for the last 15 years. They are the best auto maintenance/repair business that I would ever use and would feel comfortable leaving my car with. They always go above and beyond with customer satisfaction as well as making sure my car is 100% perfect. Clint always makes sure to be very thorough with me with any questions I might have. I would never go anywhere else.

Judy Pizzuto

Friendly and do very good work. Always get work done very quickly for me.

P&A has been taking care of my cars for years. Their work is always excellent, their recommendations are spot on.

David Frac

I had a lingering engine/fuel problem for 2+ years. I took my Volvo to several Volvo dealers and none could identify or solve the problem. I accidently stumbled across P&A Smith Auto. Within a week's time, they properly diagnosed and fixed my car. My car is running great and I no longer am considering selling my car. I've taken my Volvo to P&A since -- they always do great work at a fair price.

Bradford Washabaugh

I am not a ?car person?, and I do so appreciate the professionalism & communication skills of the staff at P&A Smith. Any issues they find are explained so I can understand what?s going on. If nothing is wrong with my 20 yo Volvo, they tell me that too! I have always been very satisfied with the quality of their work. Highly recommend them!

Debbie Schmidt

I?ve had these guys work on my volvos for nearly 15 years. They have not only provided quality service, I have also bought two of their used cars. In these days, trust is a must with critical support services such as car maintenance? these guys are it. Wondering why it took me this long to write a review ... me too! yr welcome.. btw loaner cars available if you schedule ahead...;)

Donald Peterson

Always great service! Have been using their service for many years and will continue to do so. When we purchase a car we also have them check it out first - great team all around!

Matthew Noonan

I?ve been coming to P&A Smith for past several years after a particularly bad experience with another well known Lexus place in Cary. Everyone here is very professional with great communication. On my last visit, in addition to addressing my check engine light, I asked them to replace engine and cabin air filters. I also asked them if they can find an extra screw for my engine air filter housing since I noticed that one screw was missing last year when I replaced the engine air filter myself. My car being of Japanese origin, it?s a pain to find the right metric screw :) When I went to pick up the car, Clint reminded me that the engine air filter was reusable and was barely dirty. Not only they didn?t replace it, they put 2 new matching screws on the engine air filter housing for me. It was a great reminder of honesty and extra service that bring me back to P&A Smith whenever I need some work done to keep my elderly car driving smooth.

Harrison Kim

We had an issue with our volvo over the holiday weekend. P & A Smith got us right in after the holiday, got everything fixed and had us back on the road quickly. We so appreciate their response essentially and expertise as well as overall awesome customer service.

Jamie Stacilauskas

Always great service! Have been using their service for many years and will continue to do so. When we purchase a car we also have them check it out first - great team all around!

Matthew Noonan

Just want to mirror all of the other positive reviews given to P&A. I've taken my Volvo, Ford and even my Jeep to them and the are 100% honest and provide high quality repairs. When they can't help, they recommend other quality services nearby. P&A is my first go to garage.

Thorsten Stremlau

P&A is the best. High quality of service.

Edward Ellerson

We have been taking our Volvo and Honda to P&A Smith since we moved to NC five years ago. Work is consistently excellent. The best indicator of quality is how few problems our cars actually have. We let P&A Smith do the routine maintenance and they keep running properly. Our cars are 13 and 10 years old respectively and both work beautifully.

Pat Wilson

Fast and Courteous

Mechanics that you can trust can be hard to find, but P&A Smith have been 100% trustworthy for the 20+ years I've been going there. Give 'em a try!

Ed Bailey

P&A Smith is great. Their pricing is fair and honest. They never try to pressure us into services we don't need.

Deborah Burke

Great mechanics. I've been coming here for years with my Hondas. They give a quick analysis of the problem and then offer differing solutions, if appropriate. I don't feel they talk down to me as a woman. Mostly, they do good work that lasts.

Carol Lewis

P&A Smith team is awesome...we always trust their expertise and their service is fantastic. We are so glad we found them to maintain our Volvo!

Jamie Stacilauskas

Best auto shop in the Raleigh area...especially if you have a Volvo

as always great to work with - thorough diagnosis & followed by necessary repair. Has always kept me informed as to needed repairs & permission to proceed with any other suggested repairs/services.

Sandra Philbeck

Always such exceptional service! The guys at P&A Smith always go above and beyond! On my last visit, one of the service techs advised that it was time for me to purchase new tires. He took the time (at closing time!!), to demonstrate how to measure tire tread. As always, I'm so appreciative of P&A Smith's attention to detail and exceptional customer service!

Tandy Burke

Clint and the guys at P&A are top notch. I always know my car is in good hands. Can't rate them high enough!

Mike DeLuna

We went to see a vehicle that was advertised by this dealer. Clint assisted us and he was very patient, personable and extremely helpful. Definitely appreciated.

Therry Lawes

First, let me say I appreciate the team that works here! Every experience that I have had so far has been nothing less than perfection. Last year, I had to purchase a new vehicle. I contacted my regular shop and to this day have not received a call back(don?t think I need one! ) I called P&A Smith Auto and asked could I bring the car I wanted to purchase to them to have it looked over?it was a resounding yes, without hesitation. Needless to say it was a little money well spent, and I love my car! I?ve asked for quotes and ways to take care of my car and this team did not disappoint! They even helped me sign up for a maintenance app so I can have a history of maintenance readily available at all times. It?s one thing to be a customer needing work done to a car...it?s another to be informed about your vehicle every step of the way and treated with respect. I appreciate their efficiency and workmanship! So glad I found them!

Makeba Fussell

This is a great shop with honest, up front, and caring employees. They have been helping the Springer family with all of their vehicle service for years. I highly recommend P&A Smith auto for any of your service needs. I wish I could give them more stars.

Dallas Springer

Friendly mechanics, and the estimate will be your final bill. I've been back, and will until I get rid of the car.

Brandon White

Always honest and give you details and tell you what repairs are urgent vs. What can wait and for how long...they tell you what to do together to save time and labor costs....live this place... they are always accommodating for me and my out of town schedule!!!

Karen Kelly

I have been very pleased by the repairs and service work done by the team here. They are very thorough and knowledgable in their approach to providing the needed services. I greatly appreciate their ability to diagnose a problem and provide logical, practical solutions. The feeling of trust I get dealing with them is worth a great deal to me.

David Crittenden

Darren Reynolds

Great place for your Volvo to be serviced.

John Anderson

A little over a year ago my son's 2006 C70 suffered a broken timing belt the P&A Auto Team worked with use to come up with very satisfactory solution saving us thousands dollars with minimal risk. They also went far beyond to make sure we knew what options we had. Unfortunately this vehicle was totaled in an accident a few months ago (no human injuries). Needless to say if I still owned this car if would be back at P&A for service whenever it was due.

Gary Kuhn

These guys are A+. I have a Volvo and have been coming here for service for a few months now. They are excellent at communicating the issues that they find to a layperson. and I never feel like I'm being "upsold" on repair work. Chris is super nice and easy to work with.

Anna Knight

You can trust these mechanics. They will treat your car like it was their own.

Philip Kinney

Excellent. Comprehensive knowledge and competitive pricing. I drove 35 minutes just to get my 1998 Volvo S70 serviced by the experts at P&A Smith Auto Maintenance.

Bishop Bettini

The people here are impressive, upfront, and honest. They will inform you of maintenance issues that presently require attention, and of items to be mindful of for upcoming maintenance. The quality of their work far exceeds that of any dealership I have ever visited. I do not feel the need to re-inspect their work as I have after leaving a dealership. I trust their skill level, knowledge, and competency. If there is a maintenance issue I cannot tackle myself, this is where I come.

Richard Wisotzkey

Have had my cars serviced there for over 5 years. I would recommend P&A Smith Auto to anyone. They know what they're doing, are cost competitive and very professional. Very trustworthy. Linda Marston
