Village Smith Import Car Repair

If you need an honest, hardworking mechanic, Ron & his Village Smith Car Repair is the place you want to be. He is honest and the repairs are done correctly and in record time. More than once, when he presents my bill, I ask if he forgot to include something because the final cost is so low. «Nope» is the answer I get. I even ask if I could round-​up the price a bit and he refuses. Ron has even done minor repairs on my daughter’s car without charging her because he knows she is working her way through college. All he would say is «No charge. It was just a little fix.» Some things are too good to be true. Lucky for us, Ron is the real deal!

Ron to the rescue again. Honesty is his policy and more people should be this way. AAAA

In addition to being one of the nicest and most honest people you will ever meet, Ron is an excellent mechanic. He is totally trustworthy and will always go the extra mile to give you the best service possible. I keep telling him he should raise his rates, but he says «Never!» He has done so many favors for us… he always finds time in an emergency and has kept our cars in great shape. Ron is the BEST! We hope he never retires!

Ron has worked on our vehicles for almost 30 years, and as another reviewer shared, we’re in our sixties as well, and have dealt with many, many mechanics.
Ron is by far and away the most honest and competent mechanic we’ve ever known. On more than one occasion, we’ve had a vehicle towed to Ron when it died on us. Upon our return, he’d have it running like new. He’d tell us, «No charge.» When I would gasp, «But Ron, we had it towed in!» He’d humbley say, «I didn’t do much.» You can bet that would never happen at a dealership.
With any repairs or tune-​ups our vehicles have required, we always feel better than well taken care of by Ron. We LOVE that man!

Best mechanic and most honest mechanic anywhere. I have known Ron for 20 years, he has worked on every car I have owned. I know that he will charge a fair price (actually lower that I expect, each and every time) and give me the best possible service. Definitely worth seeking out!

The owner Ron, is an awesome guy and is really quick about getting repairs done. Like what others have said, he’s an honest guy who really is extremely nice. He also does good work. I’ve taken my car to him twice now and haven’t had problems after the repairs were made. The first time he looked at my car, he diagnosed the problem, told me it was a cheap do-​it-​yourself-​fix and charged me nothing. The second time I was expecting to be charged a much higher price for the problem my car was having but the cost was quite inexpensive. I highly recommend taking any issues you’re having with your car to Ron.

Absolutely the best mechanic I’ve ever experienced. I’m 63, so I’ve known more than one and I drive cars until they die… so mechanics are important to me. I would not hesitate to drive 200 miles to have him do my work. The world would be a lot better place if everyone did their business as Ron does.

Ron at the Village Smith (VS) was recommended to me about a year ago from a co-​worker. This co-​worker raved about his honesty and willingness to go the extra mile to help her drop off her car, take her to work, and pick her back up when the car was ready.
The first time I used the VS, I called him about a fuel injector issue with my car. Ron asked that I try to fix it with an fuel additive first. I was thankful that he suggested something that would try to save me money in the end. While the car needed more service the VS was more than happy to help and my car ran great afterwards.
My most recent experience with my 12 year car, Ron was not able to diagnose and insisted on not even charging us. Again his honesty came in to play and makes me realize I am really in good hands with this particular mechanic.
If you are looking for honesty, kindness, and professionalism, this is the place to go. Even if it is for a quick oil change. Before I bring my car anywhere I will bring it to Ron.

Taking your car to Ron is like taking it to a beloved Uncle. You know he won’t overcharge you or make needless repairs. He’s a super honest, super nice guy. Many friends in Healdsburg have recommended him to me, having known him for years. I trust him absolutely.

Ron is the best ever! He’s such a nice guy, and he’s been working with imports for years and years. It’s in typical Healdsburg style, with the place looking a little run-​down, and with old pictures of his family surrounding his desk. He really knows what he’s doing, though; my family won’t go to anyone else. When I got my Toyota used, he insisted we take it to his shop so he could check it out… for free! His quotes are always at least $ 150 less than anyone else on big jobs. If wish I didn’t live so far away now so I could always take it there for repairs.
