Proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research

Proudly Participating in Brakes for Breasts

This October, we’re proud to participate in Brakes for Breasts, a nationwide campaign that brings independent auto repair shops together to support breast cancer vaccine research at Cleveland Clinic.

  • From October 1–31, 2026, customers who schedule a qualifying brake service will receive free brake pads or shoes, up to a $79.95 retail value. Customers pay for labor and any additional parts, shop supplies and taxes. Most vehicles qualify, and installation must be completed at our shop.
  • We will donate 10% of the total installation cost from each qualifying brake service to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund. Since 2011, Brakes for Breasts has raised more than $2.4 million for research, and Phase 1 clinical trials are complete, with Phase 2 expected to open in 2027. Together, we can help put the brakes on breast cancer.

My radio was broken. Guy at the desk (Kevin) found me the least expensive one he could to replace and the work took less than half an hour. Also they gave me this bag of little cookies. Highly recommend the place.

The guys there were super helpful and accommodating after I had a tire change on a flat. They had me in and out within a couple hours, and even provided me with a loaner vehicle so I could get to class, while they worked on it. Very nice experience overall.

I have brought in several vehicles with different issues going on in each one. Kevin was in constant communication with me, letting me know the problems, prices, and estimate of when they’ll be completed. I will go to the Smithville location again. The whole team is great and have done a fantastic job! Thanks, guys!

Kevin and his team helped me out today. My front driver side tire was making a horrible noise and I had another hour plus drive to get home. Luckily I was passing the garage and pulled in. They sent a mechanic out right away and found all the lug nuts were loose. They torqued them down and was on my way. Thanks for taking care of my issue. Great local team!
