5-star review by Lynda Phillips-Madson

"I have had P and A Smith maintain my 2016 XCVolvo for several years, ever since it was no longer under warranty, and all the staff there have done an outstanding job!  I have to often drive through mountains where there is little help available if my car has a problem, and I never worry about safety when my car has just been serviced and checked by the P and A Smith mechanics!  I recommend them without hesitation!"

"P&A Smith Auto Maintenance maintains our 2 Volvo's. Service provided could not be better. Both Volvo's are always at peak performance. The only Volvo maintenance facility I use since moving to the area 31 years ago. My Volvo V70 station wagon is 2008 and keeps going. Thank you P&A Smith"

5-star review by Lynn May

"P & A Smith Auto were incredible to work with.  My late model Volvo needed significant diagnostic work and Bobby went above and beyond to solve the problem.  I was kept informed in a professional, timely, courteous manner. Highly recommend P & A Smith for any car maintenance concerns."

5-star review by Jalene Bowersmith

"I've been going to P&A Smith for over 20 years.  They have excellent customer service and are very honest about work that needs to be done and that which can be delayed.  They are also willing to troubleshoot and find solutions that are less expensive if possible."

5-star review by Stuart Ward

"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."
