Was Referred to the shop for wheel alignment before holiday. Was quoted $1,750, thought it was a mistake maybe $175, for only adjustments & no replacement parts. Called back at start of business to confirm price and told them to not perform the repairs. When I got my truck back, they had readjusted truck's alignment making it worst and cut off my passenager air bag monitor. Don't go here they are over priced and they screw with your vehical

Edit: I returned to Sam's Auto today, Fri May 26, for another oil change. I arrived before 8AM and was first in line. My car was inspected, new oil & filter, and was out in less than 20 minutes. Great! I came to Sam's Auto on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, at 930AM. I've been wanting to stop by at this shop, as they have the CHEAPEST 4-wheel alignment ($40 cash) and great offers on Breaks & Oil Change. My Prius needed an oil change & alignment; I got in at 930AM, and within 5 minutes my car was on the mount. At 945AM, the owner Sam informed me (and showed me on the car) of some issues & parts needed. I wasn't pushed to get it fix right then (or to upgrade to better oil instead of conventional). Sam and his son (?) were very helpful, professional, and speedy. I like the relaxed atmosphere and comfy sitting. They provide FREE WIFI, coffee, chilled water, and have a fridge (cold ones?). A big screen TV helps you stay entertained. Restroom available. Will return. Recommended.

8-22-23 Decided to stop by at this den of thieves after work, coming from 15/91 days. Wanted to do an alignment for my car . The old man says yes I'll be $50 cash only. Suddenly he got back to me saying that my car has a big damaged parts and the alignment process it will fail anyways. I asked him for the cost of doing the repairs. He got back again with supposedly a computer print that shows how big is the damage. He told me $ 800 US. AND he needs 2 days to get my car back. 😂I said to him NO. I'll send my car to the junkyard 😂🍋he tried to get my $50. No thanks. This thieves have used parts to do costumers cars. And G-d know what else they do with costumers. You've been advised. I left and went to brookhurst / Lincoln Tire Shop . They inspected the wheels and tires. Was told that the problem was a back tire that was damaged inside. Got a new tire and ¡!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!! 👋👋👋. DRIVE SAFE.

This place, Junior and his father, they have helped me and my family for years with cars. They have looked at my broken down vehicles and told me what was wrong with no charge and given me advice to fix my car that has always worked. The times they have needed to do repairs they've always been honest and more than fair with the price. I'm a mom of 4 and I feel like I can calm them for help and advice. My family and I never being our vehicles anywhere else.

This shop was hungry for money ,because one day, me and my stepson asked Sam to diagnose the engine light afterwards diagnosed ,He told me about the problem it's about ucomputer program to reset it and something else,and he told me the cost of repair is $1,100 So we came back to my house try to solve the issue with engine light .I fixed it by myself and resolved it with the releasing bubbles from radiator ,I save thousand . Be careful with the shop dishonesty!

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM I've brought my car here with them multiple times. Recently, my check engine light was on. Sam checked it and told me it had an Evaporative emission control (EVAP) system issue. He told me the price to fix that was $985. I left and went elsewhere and it turns out that all I had to do was order a new fuel cap and replace it. Just like that, the light went away. The fact that these idiots tried charging me more than 10 times the price is incredibly stupid. Even worse, once I left my car with them and left a GPS in my car and either Sam or Junior drove my car to their house without asking for permission. When I asked them, they said they were just test driving it. So, please stay away from this place because they will scam you big time. I am starting to ask myself if they overcharged me the previous times that I left my car with them. Btw they charge 2,400 to fix an oil leak in case you were wondering.

Junior took great care of me from start to finish. He was very clear on the work that I wanted to get done, good about providing scheduling options and timing estimates, offered reasonable prices, and very friendly/professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

SO GREAT, it's so hard to find a good mechanic, but this Father and son shop is the best. Really appreciate them and would recommend them to anyone! I called a bunch of places to replace my brakes and all the other places were way overpriced, Sam junior did it for a much better price in half the time the other places quoted

Great service and great prices! I looked up the average price of a service to replace my lower control arm and he charged half of what the average was. I referred him to my buddy for some expensive axle damage and he charged 1/3 of the price that the dealership quoted. I definitely will be returning anytime I need my car to be worked on! The service and quality more than makes up for the not as nicely upkept lobby though

Fardin has an excellent vibe and he has great knowledge about what he's doing. He welcomed me into his service with a great smile. I always come here to repair my issues with the prius and they never let me down.

long overdue review of Sam's Auto Shop: Been here over and over because my friend first recommended me to come here. So family-friendly and clear in diagnosing my problem. They recommend me to come to places when the job cannot be done there or reschedule for special cases. Very honest and they share comparison prices with other shops to help me out when things are tough. Love these people!

Sam's Auto Repair shop has been the only mechanic I have used for 8+ years. They are honest, competent and accommodating. They will give it to you straight. My friend sent me to this shop when my mechanic suddenly retired. I started out by getting 2 estimates from different mechanics and then went to #SamsAutoRepair and he came in within the dollar. I also witnessed him tell another customer it would be almost 2k to repair their car but he wouldn't recommend it because the car had other problems. I knew that was the place for me. Thank You Sam !

But finally I got help and I only wanted an oil change witch they had a promotion $17.99 but I brought my own oil and filter they wanted to charge me $15 and then he ask me what kind of car did I had then he wanted $25 really !!

I've been to some auto repair shops before and I found the BEST. O M G.. Thorough and honest explanation of diagnosis from the owner, himself. Truly the best experience ever and feeling of great/well treated customer I am. Highly recommend this shop!!

My car got a death sentence from my long time mechanic and I was ready to give up. Symptoms of the car didn't really add up, and I got referred to this place from a co-worker. It only needed a new radiator and since it was changed, my car got a new life. So far so good.

Very pleased with service and price they didn’t try to sell me other thing, very honest. This was my first time there and I went to get an alignment. They print their prices right on their business cards which is great so you know what you will be paying plus you can easily plan ahead for future services. I would highly recommend them.

Props to Sam's Auto Shop! They are really real and caring for my car. They make sure other parts of the car are safe and ready to go. They made known potential problems, but did not force me to pay to fix, but in the future, let me know that those things would be fixed. Top-of-the-line service for today's automobile shop

The service definitely was beyond my expectations. Though the place had 5 other cars waiting to get serviced my car vehicle was done within 30 minutes. Plus they are fair, honest and up front about the servicing you're getting on your car.
