I was traveling across New York when some plastic on the bottom of my car started dragging. I called a couple shops and they were full but Earl very graciously gave my a time slot within the hour. When I got there they were super kind and welcoming and Earl spent the time explaining to me what they were doing and even advised me what to do and not even replace it bec he said it wasn’t necessary. All in all it was a great experience, I would highly recommend going there if ur in need of a mechanic.

I cannot thank owner, Earl Clear, and his team for the kindness they showed this wary traveler with a check engine light that came on. I recently had a turbo replaced on my Expedition. Made the 8 hour drive to the Adirondacks from Maryland. While out sight seeing, my check engine light came on again. My mechanic said see if you can get to someone to pull the code. The Ford dealership in Warrensburg basically laughed at me, because they were so busy. Earl said, bring it down and let’s see what we can do. He was a pleasure to chat with while I waited, which wasn’t long at all! We got the code and cleared it, so I would have peace of mind for the journey home. Thank you, Earl, and Smith’s Garage. We made it within 90 minutes of home before the light came back on. Your kindness and willingness to help, was much appreciated. If anyone I’d visiting the Lake George, Warrensburg NY area, and needs some help, ask Earl first!

This is a week late, but what a competent, friendly, HONEST establishment. I was passing through the area on my way home and stopped in for because my TPMS went off so wanted to assure it was still safe to drive. Most other places would have cashed in on the situation. Not them. Earl had the mechanic take a look abd assure the tired were filled according to specifications, then took the time to explain what the problem was without charging me (“we really didn’t fix anything, so no charge”). Plus he’s a dog lover. Would recommend to anyone: locals and the ADK summer/ winter crowd.

Excellent shop! Got me in the same day and they were able to replace my tires and brake calipers for an extremely reasonable price (less than half of what midas quoted). Highly recommended! Fair pricing and vet owned business that does right by their customers

Smiths is my regular mechanic, they are super nice and friendly. The prices aren’t bad, and Earl always makes sure he calls me and asks me if he can do work were needed before he does it. If you tell him you’re on a budget he will make sure to stay under that budget and won’t fix a thing without permission. I’m so glad I was recommended by my boyfriends family to go here! I have started recommending Smiths to my brother and my family as well.

Absolute garbage shop! Earl clear lied and lied and lied. We called told him to do whatever repairs necessary to make truck pass inspection. He told us it needed two tires and some suspension parts. Somehow our vehicle was taken off lift and another put on so had to wait extra days. Finally he called said truck was ready that it needed to be driven 50 miles to reset pcm for inspection. Charged us $775 for two inner tie rods two outer tie rods a idler arm and bracket. Never put on tires. Told us to return for inspection. Picked up truck brought to another shop. Turns out there are several emission codes he never mentions just deleted them. Truck would never pass with those. They didn t put grease in the new parts just installed them dry. Told us if we give him a hard time the job would be cash only cuz he knew we were borrowing money on a parents credit card. We told him there were inner tie rods new on the center console but he chose to buy new ones even tho we supplied new ones. Didn t plug a tire we requested. Didn t check any of the tires air pressure Everything he told us he either didn t do or lied about, then tried to strong arm us to come pay in full with an incomplete job. Earl clear I d a liar and a thief. A true dirtbag mechanic and no one should use this shop again He thinks he s untouchable because warren county sheriffs have their cars fixed there. No one is untouchable. Never use this shop. They can t even level their dirt parking lot and put stone down or have it paved. The office has never been cleaned it s filthy and gross. True liars and thief s. Don t waste your time or money on poor manipulators who will say anything to get money out of you not caring if it s screw you up further. You ll get yours Earl trust me Karma don t play around and you ve lost a good customer!

April 9, 2021

Dont recommend this shop; poor communication, left car for brake check - no call for more than a day, finally I called, was told fronts needed replace but NOT rears; rears WERE replaced without letting me know first, pricey & WORST PROBLEM: my driver side mirror trim was MISSING when i picked up vehicle - owner took NO responsibility - said since car was picked up after hours (@ 7pm), he wasnt responsible for anything that happened on his property/ lot. Now Im stuck with a trip to Subaru dealer - where I should have gone in the first place. Very sad & poor customer treatment. BEWARE! Mysteriously shop called & said they found my mirror trim piece - it must have fallen off & blown under next car in their lot hmmm, will see what dealer says. still think he broke & replaced the mirror.

I was traveling for vacation, and I ended up getting a screw in my tire on day 1 which is not the best way to start it.... I called over a dozen shops, but no one had the time to get me in within the next few days. Finally, one of them recommended Smiths. I called, and he said he could squeeze me in first thing the next morning. I was in and out in less than an hour, and he patched the tire easily. Im so incredibly thankful for his kindness. 100% recommend!!

Earl Clear was the most courteous and prompt mechanic and was a tremendous resource for my wife and I when we experienced car problems with our Honda Odyssey van when we pulled into his garage driving through on transit from North Carolina. On an extremely busy Saturday, he and his wife Jackie helped diagnose our car, arrange quickly to have us get a taxi when we had no other options for our car. We are tremendously thankful for their help and I would highly recommend this garage to anyone in the area to fix their car. Mechanics need to take advice from his high level of knowledge and superior customer service. Thank you Earl and Jackie and we are thankful that people like you are out there to help people that experience car issues. Kindest Regards, Jeff and Elena and family.
