Sam was very helpful and got the job well done! Most body shops are closed on Sundays in the area but it was very helpful that he and his staff were open. Most importantly he helped me identify the noise coming from my car by taking a drive with me before and AFTER the job was done to make sure its all in order. I never came across a mechanic test driving the car with me to be that thorough. As a customer, it was very reassuring of the work! Trust-worthy shop.

Sam is the best! My wife and daughter were traveling to NYC and their car was dead in a parking garage in Weehawken. Late on a Friday. He came to the car got it jumped and had them follow him to the shop to get a new battery and they were on their way. God bless this man and I highly recommend this shop!

Sam is the best mechanic out there. I went there for a vibration issue in my car when I accelerate above 40 miles per hour . Two mechanics Dave auto repair and Ramzi auto repair both worked on my car and couldn’t fix it at all. Sam is able to quickly identify and resolve the issue easily . He is the man !

I recently had my car serviced at Sam’s Automotive Repair; Sam was kind and efficient. He fixed my car’s front bumper for an affordable price and his crew even straightened out my plate which was dented in, and fixed a pushed in back reflector, which wasn’t part of the job or price.. They surely made me feel welcomed, helped, and happy. I definitely recommend this auto body shop. Great Guys!

Sam knows his craft, he spent years at a luxury car dealership as a master techinician. He is one of the very few honest and compassionate shop owner I’ve dealt with. My radiator needed to be replaced and he did not up-sell anything since I was on a tight budget. I’ve noticed other customers were happy with his services, and his mechanics are knowledgeable and very polite as well. He has a direct line when calling his shop. He made me test drove my car with him on the passenger after the repairs were done to make sure everything is good. Thank you Sam!

I was out of town when my car overheated on a Sunday. Sam was able to diagnose and fix my vehicle that day. He is very professional and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

Couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to Sam. Car went down and I was in a jam. It was just before the shop closed but Sam answered my random call anyway, finding his number by googling in a panic a nearby mechanic online. You can immediately tell by the sincerity in his voice that he was genuine. Helped me find a tow, confirmed when he received my car, managed and communicated expectations perfectly, and guess what, fixed a unique problem perfectly. Explained everything he did clearly for me to understand and the price was more than fair. Sam earned a customer for life and I find it funny that by a random chance that I found him. I’ll never use anyone else moving forward. When you know nothing or little about cars and need a mechanic you can trust.. just go see Sam and his team. You can thank me later.

Sam to the rescue! Last Saturday car wasn't starting. Portable car jumper + another car jump starting the car didn't help. Online, I set up an at home servic appointment. The earliest appointment available was on Monday morning... the company never showed, nor called. Found Sam's automotive repair was in the neighborhood, found them on Google and gave them a call. Sam confirmed he was nearby and was able to come by soon and called a short while later when he was on his way. I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. He took his time to explain the issue with my car in a way that was easy to understand and was able to start the car. The starter needed to be replaced or this could happen again at any time. My daughter took the car to his shop and it was fixed within a couple of hours and without any pressure to add on unnecessary services. Pricing was fair and I feel like I got great value for the quality of service provided. I’ll definitely be going back in the near future for maintenance, want to confirm the car will be in good condition before the winter. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, efficient and quality car care. Thanks again Sam!

A+++ Highly recommend going to Sam’s for your auto repair work, maintenance, and modifications. Sam is super helpful and knowledgeable. His prices are affordable as well! I was driving my 4Runner from Queens, NY to NJ to run some errands a couple weeks ago on a Sunday. All of a sudden I heard a loud rumble from the exhaust as if I had open pipes. When I pulled over, I noticed the C-clamp on my aftermarket exhaust had come loose, which was causing the loud noises. Since it was Sunday, late-afternoon most auto repair shops were closed. I’m so blessed to have found Sam and his shop. He said “bring it in and I’ll take care of it”. Sam was able to squeeze me in and get the exhaust and c-clamp back onto. Problem solved in <30 mins and at a very reasonable price. What a huge relief! Thank you, Sam! I’ll be back for other maintenance and modifications work soon!

Sam’s automotive repair shop took me in last minute to repair a flat tire that needed to be fixed to be able to safely drive back to Montreal. Super service and friendly service. Thank you so much. Merci 🤩

I had my car looked at for my hood and battery. Sam took a quick look at it and took care of it. What was surprising was that he took a look at a rattling noise that my car had for weeks now. He and his employee lifted my car, looked under and tighten some bolts. Viola! Fixed it in under 15 mins and charged $100. What I like about his business is he actually looks at the issue at hand and fixes it! Hope his business flourishes.

The best place I've been to get my car fix in my 30 years of driving. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest assessment of your vehicle problem. The owner Sam is honest and trustworthy. Give this place a shot but have patience because he's so good you may have to wait. But he's open 7 days a week including Sunday. Prices are fair and reasonable $$$.

Sam is truly an amazing guy!! We were stuck in New jersey trying to get home to Missouri and our water pump went out!! 17 hours from home, super stressed out, and know absolutely no one here I called around to shops. No one could help us it was so close to 5 and everyone was shutting for the weekend. I saw Sam's business name read a few reviews and called. He had us come to him to diagnose the problem, got it figured out, and planned to do the next morning. We came in got the part put on and were on our way. Before we left he told us to text him if anything happened. Unfortunately the part we had gotten was defective from the part store and we had an issue so we called him and he told us to come back and we would get it figured out and fixed. He opened early for us to get the new part on so we could get on the road to home, got us breakfast sandwiches and coffees, and his whole crew here was so nice and chill. We 1000% recommend this auto repair shop for all your needs. He's fast, efficient, nice, and understanding. ❤️❤️

I had my first ever flat tire today, and even though I was stressed at first, my experience here completely turned my day around. I drove to the shop with my flat tire, and Sam helped me right away. He was kind, efficient, and got my tire replaced quickly — and the price was very reasonable too. What could’ve been a bad day actually became a really positive experience. It reminded me that life can have “flat tires,” but as long as you stay calm, take care of yourself, and trust that things will work out, they usually do. I’m really grateful for the great service and kindness I received here. Highly recommend!

Forget the shady corrupt shops! Come to Sam's repair! Honest knowledgable down to earth guy with fair prices. Passed my inspection thanks to him and his mechanic fully repairing my check engine that was on for monthss, on a Sunday afternoon, that was awesome! Every other place gave me run around and astronomical prices, not Sam. I highly recommend this shop. Respectful, straight forward and thorough without getting ripped. I really appreaciate you Sam and your mechanic!! Thank you so much! Def coming back for anything else. DO NOT HESITATE TO COME HERE!

Great experience from start to finish. He was polite, honest, and worked fast. No runaround, no pressure just quality service. I’ll definitely be coming back. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but I’ve found mine. Thank you 🙏🏾 Sam.

I blew a coolant line while leaving New York for a road trip and was struggling to find a shop nearby who could do same-day work on my vehicle. Sam and his mechanic John saved the day by fitting me in, getting available parts and building makeshift replacements when parts weren't available, completing the work and getting me back on the road, all at a reasonable price. What a find, and excellent, personable service. Keep them in mind! 2013 BMW 335Xi.

Sam was our New Year's eve Miracle! We broke down on the N.J. turnpike and had to be towed off the turnpike. We were told it would be impossible to have the car repaired and to plan to be in Jersey for the next 2 days because nobody would fix it at 4 on New Years Eve and nobody will be open New Year's Day. We called Sam to see if we could get it looked at today and he said absolutely, bring it in. That in itself was a sigh of relief, but the tow truck driver reminded us, yes he can look at it, but it wont be fixed today. Well Sam went out of his way and proved the driver wrong. He could fix the car, but didnt have the part. He called around and found one 30 minutes away. The shop should have closed at 7. But Sam made it happen. He got the part, and stayed late to fix our car and get us on our way. He was smart, knew what needed to be done, was friendly, helpful, informative and skilled. He was our bright spot on our trip home. We highly recommend him and wish he was local to us, because he would be getting all of our business. Thank you Sam!

Good day to anyone who is reading this, I am writing this because Sam not only helped me find the best high quality alternator at an affordable price but he also taught me that a good mechanic is always clear and understanding at all times. He made sure to confirm with me the address, all of my concerns, and to go ahead in buying the part. This means I did not feel rushed yet everything was so efficient and timely that I had to leave this 5 star review and a tip. Make sure your mechanic is this clear and understanding and doesn’t blame everything on you like I had happen once to me due to them rushing the process. Highly recommend and I am coming back when I have car necessities again! ✨
