San Diego’s Oldest Family-Run Automotive Service
Why trust your car with Smitty’s?
Serving our community for over 75 years!
Smitty’s Service has been there for you since 1945. When Smitty opened the shop, he was just as likely to shoe your horse as fix your car. Today we do only cars, and our training has evolved with the latest automotive technology.
Complimentary Shuttle Service
At Smitty’s Service, we know your time is valuable. That’s why we offer a complimentary shuttle service to get you where you need to go while we take care of your vehicle. Whether it’s work, home, or running errands, we’ll make sure you stay on schedule. Leave your car with us, and we’ll handle the rest—getting you back on the road safely and conveniently.

"Customers don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care."
This was Grandpa Smitty’s philosophy. Today we carry on that tradition of caring and like to think it shows.
