Established in Ireland

Samuel M. Smyth II and family represent Cincinnati’s first (since the 1950s) and oldest European car Specialist repair center. With almost 4 decades of hands-on training started as a nine-year-old going to his Grandfathers and Father’s garages and learning from them and their factory-trained, certified, and mechanical engineers. After several years of very closely supervised restorations, Sam was ready to rebuild an entire car. His father brought in his own personal Jaguar XK120 and Sam pulled the engine, stripped the car to the frame, reconditioned all the parts, and reinstalled everything, from the engine, drive train, Instrumentation, and accessories. (This was just the lead of many other exciting motorcar restorations including, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin DB MKIII, Lotus Seven, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and SEL models, MG TC TD TF, Ferrari 365, AC Bristol, BMW 507, Porsche 356, Maserati 3500GT and Quattroporte, Land Rover (Series 1,2,3, Defender), Volvo P1800, Delahaye 178, Deusenberg SJ) His father told him he was passing on to the generations of his experience and knowledge. These Strong basics and almost forty years of hands-on experience have enabled Sam to understand how to repair all components of a motorcar.

At the time of this writing, we are the only VW and Bentley Crewe-authorized independent service garage in the world, and we will always be the first! Smyth Family Imports is a small garage that’s big on value and huge on customer service.
