Expert service, repair, and restoration for Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and the finest European and exotic motorcars. A factory-authorized Bentley and Volkswagen workshop, family-run in Cincinnati for over ninety years.
For more than ninety years, the Smyth family has cared for the world’s finest motorcars. Smyth Automotive Cincinnati — Sam Smyth Imported Car Service — is a factory-authorized Bentley and Volkswagen workshop specializing in Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and the great European and exotic marques.
We diagnose, service, repair, and restore the cars most shops won’t touch — from daily-driven luxury to concours-level restoration. Every motorcar that comes through our Cincinnati workshop is treated as both a machine and an heirloom, in the hands of European-trained specialists and four generations of doing this work the right way.
Factory-Authorized, Independent
A factory-authorized Bentley and Volkswagen workshop — dealership-level diagnostics and OEM components, without the dealership markup.
Four Generations, One Family
Founded in 1934 and family-run ever since. The same standard, passed down: museum-quality care with real-world drivability.
Recognized Authority
Sam Smyth is a nationally and internationally appointed concours judge for the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club (USA) and Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club (UK) — a level of authority on condition and value that dealerships rarely hold.
Honest, Direct, Fair
We tell you what actually needs doing, let you source your own parts when it saves you money, and pick up the phone after hours. It’s why people drive their cars here from across the country.
Factory-level service and repair for European, exotic, vintage, and modern luxury motorcars — at independent-shop rates, not dealership markup.
Diagnostics, rebuilds, and period-correct restoration across every layout — from modern turbo fours to rare V12s and V16s. Concours-level workmanship that preserves originality and value.
Manufacturer-approved synthetics, OEM filtration, and the careful drain-and-fill procedures exotic and luxury engines actually require.
Precision brake work for high-performance and luxury vehicles, including electronic brake resets and parking-brake calibration with manufacturer-specific tools.
HVAC diagnostics and repair — modern climate systems through vintage R-12 setups — handled to factory spec.
Correct load and speed ratings, road-force balancing, non-marring mounting, and TPMS service for delicate finishes and vintage specs.
Air and hydraulic suspension, self-leveling systems, alignment, and ride-height calibration for Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and performance marques.
From Rolls-Royce and Bentley to Porsche, Jaguar, and Aston Martin, Smyth Automotive services the full range of European and exotic motorcars — pre-war classics through modern supercars. If it was built to a higher standard, we know it intimately.
