This is my “Go to” repair shop! This shop has always provided me with an accurate account of car repair necessities; unlike other shops. Other shops usually falsely report repair needs, just to make the most amount of money that they can. In other words, they lie! Brown’s automotive will save you money, while also doing a great job repairing your vehicle. (Had engine repair)

Browns was able to get my truck in for maintenance quick and was responsive on all of my concerns. They were thorough, had good communication, and kept me updated on any price changes when more issues were discovered. It’s hard to find a reliable mechanic shop but I trust taking my families vehicles to Browns. Would recommend to anyone in the Smithfield area.

Browns Auto in Smithfield is my go to mechanic for any and all things related to my vehicles. I have used there services for roughly 10 years now. I have trusted them to service two different Jeeps, two different Mini Coupers, my Ram and now my Ford Bronco. The Bronco just happened to catch the eye of one of the young ladies working the service desk today, she said it was amazing and she was jealous. Truth be told, have to give my wife full credit for the Bronco, I was looking at a less expensive trim, she chose the wildtrak. Anyone who has been married as long as us knows that once the wife makes up her mind, no sense in trying to change it. I degress though, Browns has always been great, from the front desk to the back of the garage we have always been well taken care of. I highly recommend thier no nonsense decently priced expert services to anyone in the area.
