(Cranberry Township, PA) The male owner of Oilology, a mechanic shop in Cranberry, faced a trial after receiving a second set of charges. Keith Smith was brought to court on Friday morning from the Butler County Jail, where he has been since he was arrested on November 21st, 2025. A man said that his car was never fixed after months of excuses from Smith, only to learn that his car had been given to another customer as a loaner while her car was in the shop. The owner of the car found out that his car had been given to another customer as a loaner after he received a bill from the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In the court on Friday, police noted that a woman was driving the car to and from Somerset for four weeks. The victim expressed that there were an additional 5,000 miles that were put on his car while it was at Oilology. The judge allowed Smith out on bond and he will not be released from jail until after a hearing on December 19th, 2025 for violating his probation for a conviction on similar charges which go back to 2023. A sign on the door shows that Oilology is closing, but the landlord told WPXI he is selling the property to Meijer, a new grocery store that is moving into Cranberry. The judge stated that Smith will have to wear a monitor, he is not allowed to conduct any business and he is not allowed on the property. Police confirm they are continuing to work through more complaints that are being filed against Smith.
