Our Story

A tradition of trust, built one car at a time, right here in Cleveland.

From Generation to Generation

Smith Family Auto was founded in 1973 by Robert "Bob" Smith, a skilled mechanic with a passion for cars and a dream of building a business his family could be proud of. With a small two-bay garage and a lot of determination, he built a reputation for honest work and fair prices.

Today, the shop is run by his son, Michael, and granddaughter, Jessica, who continue to uphold the values Bob instilled. While the tools and technology have changed, our commitment to treating customers like neighbors never has.
