Choosing the Proper Parts is Important

Selection of the proper brake parts is important for the optimal performance of your brake system - and to keep noise to a minimum.

There are a lot of choices out there. We know which parts work best for each model, for each application based on our experience.

In general, the cheaper brake pads sacrifice stopping ability for noise reduction by using graphite and other materials, which are lubricants to prevent squealing.

  • "Call me crazy, but using lubricants in a brake pad seems like a bad idea from the outset." - Dave Smith

You'll love our 'No Squeal' Guarantee.

We carefully choose our recommended brake materials for stopping power and long life. We also guarantee our customers brakes will not squeal. If they do, we will continue to select another pad or rotor combination until it is right.

Braking systems are becoming more sophisticated and are increasingly requiring special tools and training, especially as cars evolve with hybrid technology. Modern ABS systems can be damaged with improper service procedures and neglecting service could result in very costly repairs. Some new brake systems are even computer controlled, requiring special scan tools. We recommend professionally trained service for any operation affecting the safety of your family or protecting your vehicle investment. It is probably be less expensive to do the job right the first time and spread the cost over the full service life, than get short-changed by having to redo the service again with additional costs.

"Impressed with the Service and the Repairs"

"I've been looking for a local repair shop with reasonable rates and more importantly, one which I feel I can trust and respect their advice. I think I've found it, after many "hit and miss" attempts elsewhere. My Mercedes is well past the warranty period and my husband I keep weighing the advantages and disadvantages of selling it...we just may keep it a while longer now that we have located a local shop we feel will provide excellent service. We found it by chance, so I'm glad to recommend it in the hope their positive recommendations keep them busy! A selfish motive, yes, but I wouldn't bother with a recommendation if I didn't honestly think they were a good place to repair my car."

"Quick and Reasonable"

"I'm not from this area and choosing an auto repair shop without word of mouth recommendation is challenging. I based my decision to go to Smith specialty on reviews and a desire to find a family owned location. I was not disappointed. I brought my car in at 7:30 am and was ready to go by 11. They did a great job of keeping me informed of what was going on and was treated with respect. I will definitely be back!"

See what our Customers are Saying

"Fantastic Group!"

I took my car to them for some repair work. They called around with the VIN number and found out it was still under warranty. Not only that, but they took it to the dealership, managed the entire process, got my car back in record time....AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME A PENNY! That's what a professional company does when it puts it's customers first. Thanks guys!"

"Highly Recommend"

"The owner and staff here are honest, friendly and very knowledgable! The owner, being a master mechanic himself, is always on site and there to assist the other mechanics or the front desk at any given time to make sure the customers are happy and their vehicles are well taken care of. They aren't pushy and don't try to sell you extra things you don't need, but they will advise you if they are sincerely concerned about something. . . I never have to worry about the quality of work performed. I highly recommend this place."
