PRO Automotive proud to be back serving Priest River

PRIEST RIVER — PRO Automotive Owner Paul Smith is happy to be back in business in Priest River and our community shares the feelings about the return of a great car care service provider. “It will be great to be back in our hometown, and be an asset to the community, providing great service with a standard of professionalism,” stated Smith.

As a Master ASE Technician, Smith will use his 34 years of experience in domestic, Asian, and European vehicles to, “solve the problems the first time with speedy service to make sure people are getting what they pay for,” Smith said. Seeing a need for a professional facility that can take care of modern technology Pro Automotive offers high tech, quick and professional service to get you back on the road. Imports or domestics our slogan is, “we’re here for you,” Smith explained.

Smith expressed he understands the expense of taking care of an automobile and takes a fresh approach to saving you, the customer, time and money. He claims preventive maintenance is the cheapest way to keep your vehicle running. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it is more expensive than using preventive maintenance,” Smith proclaimed. The idea is rather than waiting for problems to arise in your vehicle, which usually results in being stranded, utilize the preventive maintenance that will provide peace of mind when traveling, and ultimately save time and money.

Opening their doors on July 1st the fast and friendly staff features long time resident and Automotive Technician Bob Sommer who has been providing quality service to Priest River and the surrounding area for years. Also accompanying Paul will be his wife Gayle who has had a long-standing relationship in the community as a hairdresser at The Hair Company from 1985 to 1993.

Locals have had great experiences already with PRO Automotive, and Smith describes the experience like going to a doctors’ office. Everyone knows the feeling of having that doctor that you can tell is truly there to help you rather than profit from you. PRO Automotive models that experience and offers a great perspective that people are not only clients, but as Smith put it, “Our customers are our friends.”
