"I ran into vehicle issues on my trip back home. The guys at Smart Turn were very polite and informative. They gave me a great price and fixed my van and had me back on the road within a few hours. I highly recommend these guys for any and all auto repairs."

5-star review by Emmanuel Dela Cruz (Noel)

"Stopped here to get my Mazda serviced for an oil change. I used to go to a dealership for car maintenance but that location is now too far for me, so I picked this shop. They do a really good job keeping your car in top condition and they'll let you know if something else needs done on your vehicle. I highly recommend if you're looking for an honest shop with reasonable prices."

5-star review by Bill Hugel

"Smart turn is always timely on their estimates and always very fair in their pricing for jobs.  we recently had our Ford F150 side mirror broken off by a bus and I got two estimates to have it fixed. Smart turn came in $500 less than ford dealership/Tri State and the quality of work was superb!  They were able to order the part and fix it the next day. I highly recommend this repair shop and I have  had oil changes done, brakes, inspection etc done here and very satisfied"

5-star review by Christi Dillon

"Smart Turn Auto truly stands out! Their thorough inspection reports and transparent approach to approving work give me complete peace of mind. I love knowing exactly what I'll be paying before any repairs begin - no hidden costs or surprises. The quality of their work is consistently excellent. I've already recommended them to friends and family, and I wouldn't trust my car to anyone else."

5-star review by Beamlak Abraham

"Todd and Chris were soooo kind, courteous, and respectful. They were so patient with me when I had brought the wrong sized hubcaps and were pleased to install the correct ones. I am so grateful to have visited! 10/10 experience :)"
