What people say
“Drove over 2 hours from Arkansas to have Danny work on my truck from word of mouth that he’s one of the good ones.”
“Dan is a very honest and hardworking mechanic. He is even willing to show you the parts that were broken, tell you how they likely broke, and how to prevent the problems in the future. He is very knowledgable on defective manufacturer information as well, which can help accelerate the troubleshooting process. He stays up to date on information in his field. If he tells you he sees something that might be a problem down the road, he points it out, but doesn't force you to pay for something you didn't ask for. If you consult him on what to do next, he will give you the information you need to make up your mind. He wants all of his customers to succeed.”
“I came in to have a diagnostic test done, as my check engine light was on. Danny knew what the issue was right away, and he was able to get me in the next day to get it fixed. He was informative on the issues of my car, and charged a very fair price for the work he did. I came in on my lunch break and he assured me that the job would be done in less than an hour and he kept his word. I definitely recommend Autosmith!”
“I discovered Danny while at Mr. Muffler next door. Took my 2003 F150 and he diagnosed an engine misfire. He was thourough in explaining the problem and options on repair. Totally rebuilt the heads on my engine and had it running like a champ, in only 4 days! And he worked with me on the payments. Since then I've taken all my vehicles to him and recommend him highly to everyone I know.”

Easier to show us than describe it?
Send a photo of the part, the leak or the dash light and tell us what the car is doing. One picture usually saves a lot of guessing on both sides.
