The Story Behind Smith's Service Center
Before Smith’s Service Center became a trusted name in North Myrtle Beach, it started in a father’s garage in Northern California. That’s where a young boy — now a certified ASE Master Technician - learned the ropes of auto repair while helping his dad fix cars and tune up dirt track race vehicles.

What We Believe In
At Smith’s, we keep things simple:
-
Do the job right the first time.
-
Be honest about what needs fixing — and what doesn’t.
-
Treat every customer like a neighbor.
We’re not here to upsell or overwhelm. We’re here to fix what’s broken, maintain what matters, and keep your car (and your family) safe on the road.
Our customers know us for our transparency. We walk you through your options, explain the repairs in everyday terms, and only recommend what’s necessary. No jargon. No fluff. Just clear answers and solid work.
Experience You Can Count On
With over 32 years in the auto repair industry, we’ve seen it all — and fixed most of it.
From everyday oil changes and brake repairs to full engine and transmission replacements, we handle all makes and models, including light-duty trucks. Our shop is fully equipped with modern diagnostic tools and technology that help us spot issues quickly and get you back on the road without delays.
We offer a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty on all labor and the parts we provide. Because we believe good work should be guaranteed.

Community Matters To Us
Smith’s Service Center isn’t part of a national chain. We’re a local, family-run business that lives and works right here in the community we serve. Whether you're in:
-

We welcome you like a friend, not a transaction. Our reputation is built on word-of-mouth — and that only happens when people trust you to do the right thing.
We know how much your vehicle matters in your daily life. That’s why we go above and beyond to make repairs efficient, affordable, and stress-free.
The Technicians Behind The Wrench
"I take every repair personally — because when you drive out of my shop, I want you to feel completely safe behind the wheel. Whether it's your daily commute or a road trip with your kids in the back seat, I want to know that I gave your car the care it deserves."
That quote sums up our approach. It’s not just about nuts and bolts. It’s about trust.
