Smitty's Service Center

Smitty’s was recommended to me by a friend, as I needed a brake check and had never used a shop in Newark. What I found was an extremely responsive, professional, and skilled service center led by a kind and ethical owner. They worked with my schedule, they kept me updated on everything that they found, and gave me extremely fair and reasonable prices for their services. I am extremely satisfied with the work of Smitty’s, and will be back if I need any further work done. If you’re in the Newark area, give him a call.

Hurts me to even write this but go at your own risk - My first experience here for a post-sale inspection was perfect. Owner was professional, gave me a solid recommendation on one thing, and kept the cost low. Fast forward months later when someone tried to steal my driver side mirror. The connectors were severed so the mirror couldn’t stay upright but both the glass and plastic were intact still. I went for a repair and was told it would be expensive as I needed a new mirror + cost of labor since my car requires the door to be removed for a mirror install. I was also told it would be an overnight job as Honda had to deliver the part. To my surprise, I get a call that same day from the owner saying he picked up the part and my car was good to go. I was already at work so I went in the n

This place is a gem!!! Highly recommend. My Prius died nearby so I walked over to the shop to see if they could help with my hybrid. The owner Smitty immediately walked with me to my car, jump started it, and replaced the battery (for a reasonable price!) within a couple hours. Absolutely wonderful service, and Smitty is a pleasure to chat with. I will certainly bring my car back if I have any more issues!

I called in the middle of the day, asked if they could help me with a car repair, and I was able to be seen within 10 minutes! They helped me remove a cracked plastic sheet from the bottom of my car that I broke while driving over a pothole. It was dragging on the road for 2 days, and within 15 minutes they took care of the problem for me. Smitty and Chris were curious, professional, and fun to talk to. They were upfront about everything, provided a great price for the repair, and truly upheld what a great small business is about. I will be coming back to Smitty's for all future repairs for as long as I live in Newark! They are the best kept secret in the area.

Both Smitty and his cousin were exceedingly personable, and welcoming. It felt like I was being helped by a family friend. They found me a tire for a reasonable price, and kept me apprised consistently. A great example of why you should try to go to local/independent businesses.
