Smittys Auto Repair - Mt Dora (FL)

5 /5 PAUL A. LIBOVITZ: I live in Eustis and heard about the shop. When I first went there I wasn’t sure as it is a couple of bays in a warehouse. Well they did an excellent job of replacing a seized engine in my 2014 Equus at an affordable price. Now I returned again February 2025 with my 2017 Jaguar XJ . Once again they did a fantastic job. Car is purring. If you want an honest evaluation and top quality work go there.

5 /5 Bill Golden: Thanks to Smitty and his crew, I made it to a car show Saturday after a severe gas leak Friday! My car took the sponsor’s award too! Thanks again to Happy, Blake, Matt and Francesca and the others for the friendly treatment and the ride home in Matt’s awesome Mustang!

1 /5 Dan Wieczorek: I was told they were a good repair shop, unfortunately I had a bad experience. I needed a new engine and they claimed they found one right of way once I paid a down payment they would get the engine, after I paid the down payment it took 3 months for them to get the vehicle back to me on top of that they have no loaner car so I had to take Uber or rely on friends. After a few weeks the vehicle was stalling at stop lights , they never changed the plugs or wires so when I took it back to them they said it would be another $700 . I had another mechanic look at it and again they claimed Smitty’s was a good repair shop but they said there was an intake leak and an oil leak. When I took it back to smittys they confirmed the oil leak and would call me back to schedule fixing it and never called me back or returned my call . After a few weeks they finally called me back and indeed fixed the oil leak at no charge, but it has stalled on me a couple of times.

5 /5 Gordon Freeman: Smitty and crew do amazing work, for a great price. Had my new engine delivered on a Wednesday and had my car back to me that Friday. Insanely fast for a major job like that. I spoke with Smitty for a good 20 or so minutes while picking it up, and I immediately could tell this wasn’t just a business to him, but a passion. Over 50 years of experience alone, he knows how to hire, and Happy and team are all incredible. These guys set the standard for a mechanic shop, and then immediately exceed it. He is also very well connected in the mechanic scene and knows how to get you quality parts and do quality work for a genuinely surprisingly reasonable price. The wall of his office is covered in certificates that he and his team have earned, and he’s active on the floor making sure his guys learn to an expert level like he did himself. Cannot recommend them enough, they saved my vehicle, got me an engine with 30k less miles than the one they initially found and kept the price the same, and did the whole job in a couple days all while working on a whole fleet of cars. All the work is warrantied for a year, and you most likely will not need that warranty as of the 6 or so jobs he’s done between me and my roommate, there have been zero issues since. I wouldn’t have written the book of a review if I didn’t have so many good things to say, and I could keep going. Never before have I had such trust and good communication with a mechanic. Straight to the point, honest, and don’t hit you with a list of additional things that “need replacing” like we’ve all experienced a time or two before. To close, shop around all you’d like, that’s never a bad thing to do, but I have a good feeling you’ll end up at Smittys not only for the price, but the confidence in knowing things will be done right.

5 /5 Terese Longo: Smitty’s is reasonable with price there very courteous and professional couldn’t ask for a better mechanic shop
