What clients say about Smeltz Automotive in Lewisburg (PA)
I called around 3:30 on a Friday afternoon when I got a tire warning. He fit me in, found that I had picked up a nail, put in a plug, and ordered a set of replacement tires in an unusual size, to call when they arrive. I was back on my way before 5. Thanks very much!
Add on: tires arrived and have been installed. Mounted, balanced, rotated old tires to front put new on back. Drives like a dream again. This is an old style mechanic shop, so expect piles and no nice place to wait. But if you want skilled service and honest advice, it is the place for a German car owner.
Older guy was very sweet and gave a good diagnosis I took my BMW F30 to figure out where my mysterious coolant leak was coming from. They found it and called within a day gave me prices of everything and were honest I decided to replace the water pump along with the seal that was bad. They gave me a decent price considering it’s a BMW. Car was done within 3 days great guys and are good at what they do I highly recommend these guys!
I don't often write reviews, but this shop truly deserves praise. Ed, the owner, is highly knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly, honest. Thanks to him, I've saved hundreds of dollars I would have spent at a dealership. Excellent service.
Took my vw jetta for some garage work, car sat there for over a year and never got it in. Just not sure why he wouldn't work on it, never ask for a price just wanted it fixed, never going back to this place again
Ed Smeltz has owned and operated this business for many many years. He and his mechanics are top notch. Can't give them enough praise...very honest and dependable. I highly recommend this business to anyone for auto repair, service and maintenance.
The level of quality and care for your car is something to behold at Smeltz Automotive. Ed and his techs are a gift to those whose cars are worked on there. I own a VW R32 (only 5,000 were made per year until the model evolved to the R) and will only take it to trusted teams that really understand German vehicles and engineering. After recently moving to PA, I was referred to Smeltz Automotive by a trusted friend. Ed is one of the most comprehensive and thorough mechanics I've met. He will do what he can to save costs without compromising integrity.
They seem to know what they are doing but like everything else they arent cheap. Did some diagnosing for us and ended up with a hefty bill and took the car home unrepaired.
Was having trouble with my 2018 vw jetta, was quoted a price from a vw dealer of 2g at the worst. Smeltz did a diagnostic for 2 hundred and fixed the problem. Very pleased.
Ed has been in the automotive business for generations and his passion for the trade is on clearly display out front of his garage with many of his personal hobby cars. He has a great team of hardworking, knowledgeable, and trustworthy mechanics. My family has had vehicles serviced by Ed and his crew since I was a kid. You will not find a more honest and trustworthy individual in the area.
If you value your vehicle and quality of service this is the shop for you. They are not the cheapest in the business, but prices are reasonable and quality+service is exception. If you have a European vehicle this is definitely the shop for you.
I hope Ed avoids retirement for many more years. Conveniently located off Rt 45 in Lewisburg.
You won't find a better place to take your vehicle when you need an evaluation, repair or routine inspection. Ed and his team are extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy!
I took my car in just to get it diagnosed. I informed them all the work my Fiancé and I already put in trying to find the problem. I told them the codes it was showing. They called me the next day to REPEAT what I had already told them when dropping it off. Tried to blame it on a NEW part I just replaced. Absolute a waste of my money
Ed and his well qualified team took great care in taking my engine apart and putting it back together. They went the extra mile to make sure it was running right after the job and even followed up a week later with call to make sure I was satisfied. Thanks guys!
I took my car down and it's a 2001 volkswagen jetta Ed told me he could fix it I explained to him before I took the car down that I could put the front end together aka car don't run he knew that proceed to take car down and he looked at it and then told me he couldn't do it and the work I was asking I could do by myself if I had time in less than two hours
I was referred to Ed's business by another friend. He's been great. He and his workers are professional, straightforward and helpful. He tries to explain as much as possible and will let you know if he's unable to do something. Thanks Ed.
Mr.Smeltz is honest and very knowledgeable. I'm sure there's others who might be cheaper, especially for domestic cars. I have a volvo and he's second to none for them. Also known to be great for most foreign makes and models. You don't go to him for the best price. You go to him because he knows what he's doing and hires mechanics with foreign car experience. I don't go anywhere else for my volvo (local dealership is a JOKE).
Not sure on how well they are, but can say they have cars moving in and out daily,
They do a lot, do not know their prices, but from what I see daily, they work hard and often.
I deliver 7bdays a week there
Very good place to bring your car when you feel something may be wrong. The owner is knowledgeable and very honest. It is fortunate to have a good mechanic where we live.
