First of all I like to say that this guy knew that I just spent $3,000 on a Toyota I paid him another 1200 to fix it when it broke down it was broke down again the very next day. Then he proceeds to tell me about this nice Mercedes that he has 98 has been garage kept and it's still to me for 3200. The very next day he calls and tells me the Toyota's engine is bad and needs a new one or he could just sell me the 98 Mercedes it's been garage kept and is in perfect condition. I went ahead and bought the Mercedes from him I've had trouble with it every day he was responsive at first but then he quit answering my phone calls. He send me to the transmission guy that supposedly fixed his Transmission in the Mercedes previously the guy fixes it again supposedly a week later I'm having transmission problems again and out another 500 bucks. As we speak it's in the transmission shop at amco and they're telling me $3,000 to fix a transmission. He tells me will you know it was a used car when you bought it I didn't force you to. And Sam the guy that owns car traders won't answer my phone calls. You be better off going somewhere else than to go to a Car Trader. All this after he knew that I just spent all this money on this other car then he sold me another lemon. And then asked me to give him a good review when I'm driving off in the Mercedes. read more

I don't write reviews often, but I had to take a moment to shout out Car Traders! Sam is hands down one of the most honest and professional mechanics I've ever dealt with. From start to finish, the customer service was top tier. He kept me updated every step of the way, communicated clearly, and made sure there was always a solution. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable and he even offered flexible payment options, which I really appreciated. What really stood out to me was the transparency -- he sent me pictures of the old part, the new part, and even photos of his team installing it. That level of detail gave me so much confidence in the work being done. The service was also super fast, which is always a plus! After I picked my car up (he replaced my fuel pump), I noticed my gas gauge still wasn't working. I reached out, and without hesitation, Sam made time to get my car back in, diagnose the issue, and fix it. He was extremely accommodating and made sure everything was taken care of. It's rare to find someone this trustworthy in the auto industry. Sam has definitely earned a customer for life -- I highly recommend Car Traders! read more

Finally - An honest mechanic.......;-) I've been doing much of my own automotive work for the past 50+ years and have a well-equipped shop and skills to do it, but sometimes one needs a mechanic, especially when crawling around under a jacked up 6,000 Lb. SUV is not a safe option. Sam changed two worn out shock absorbers for me, inspected and aligned the front, and did so for his quoted and very reasonable price. Not only that, he'd picked up and delivered my truck. (I live close by his shop.) Of special note - Front end work is in too many cases a "cash cow" for too many mechanics who want to sell you parts that you don't always need. Sam didn't even try to do that. He'd inspected the front end after he'd replaced the shocks, told me it was in good shape, and didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't need, then performed the FEA. So far, so good. An honest man and a competent mechanic. - I highly recommend him and his services, - And I'll be back...........;-). read more

My wife's Audi Q5 killed on her way to work. Tried to YouTube diagnose without succes. Randomly contacted Car Traders, and I'm so glad I did. Sam came out to my home and diagnose the problem. (Did not charge me) Sam arranged a tow to his shop. He did a more thorough diagnosis and gave me the options I had in regards to repair. I made my decision late Friday afternoon and Car Traders got active. I was expecting to get the vehicle back some time after the weekend, but oh no!!! Sam calls me before noon and says "cars ready" Wow!!! Vehicle running perfectl! Car Traders have earned my business. Sam is a delight to work with. His breakdown of what's goin on was very understandable and easy to follow even for those not so mechanically incline. The presentation was professional, the diagnosis was accurate, the repair was efficient and the cost was fair and reasonable. Do yourself a favor. Meet Sam and let Car Traders handle all your auto needs. Any vehicle Any service! read more

Been going to Christian bros. For years now from Houston to Austin as well. And have always had my issues with them. In this particular case my abs system went out. Christian bros. Quoted me $2000 for the part not including labor. And the part was back order 6month at the dealership they contacted. My friend at car traders not only kept me up to date but all said and done only charged me $1400 for everything. And the car runs great again and no Christmas tree of light on the dash anymore. He also called more than one dealership to find my part, as Christian brothers even told me they only called there local dealership closes to them. Long story short trust in Sam at card traders not the sweet talkers at Christian bros. read more

I needed new brakes and rotors for my 2009 Lexus. Did some calling around to get estimates and Sam gave me the best estimate with a flat fee. The brakes also came with a 2-year warranty. He needed the car for much of the day, but that is to be expected if you want quality work (and it is just him working on the car). He saved the old brakes and rotors for me to inspect, and took video/pictures of the car before starting work to protect both of us from any accidentals. I live in downtown Houston and will be commuting/ using uber to complete all future work from now on. Sam is definitely worth it! read more

Mr. Sam is simply amazing. The entire process was smooth and he is extremely accommodating! He made this process from experiencing a repair via a wreck smooth. I was taken aback when I brought my car to him, that he offered to uber to get my rental and upon completion, he met at the rental car shop to bring me my vehicle. He kept me informed of everything that was going via text, photos, and phone calls. I am beyond impressed with his work and work ethic. He has secured me as a client to see him for mechanical maintenance on my vehicle. I definitely recommend him for anything! read more

Got in a pretty bad accident and thought my truck was done for after only having it for less than 2 years. I was referred to Sam through a mutual friend that said his quality of work is amazing. They were not lying! Sam had his best people working on my truck around the clock to get it back to me as soon as possible. He communicated with me with updates and pictures to keep me in the loop the entire time. He did the impossible and brought my truck back to life with upgrades! Truck drives like a dream. You would never know it I had been in such an accident. read more

I had an amazing experience with Cars Traders! After another dealership had my car for 2 months and made no progress, I decided to take it elsewhere - best decision I could have made. The team at Cars Traders took care of everything and had my car ready in just 2 weeks! I was honestly amazed at how quickly and efficiently they got the job done. Their service, communication, and professionalism were top tier. If you're looking for a shop that truly gets the job done right and values your time, I highly recommend Cars Traders. read more

I'm extremely impressed with the quality of work at Car Traders. After my accident, they provided free towing and a same-day estimate, and took care of my insurance claim. But what really stood out was the repair quality. The paint match is flawless, the body lines are perfect, and the finish looks factory-original. You honestly cannot tell the vehicle was ever damaged. They back their work with a lifetime warranty, which shows confidence in their craftsmanship. If you care about your car looking right, this is the place. read more

Sam with Car Traders did an amazing job on my 1992 Ford F150. I had been having issues with stalling, accelerating and idling. Sam and his team did a full diagnostic, identified the problems, noticed other safety issues and got the truck back to being fully functional for a great price and in a short amount of time. It drives better than ever. Thank you Sam, wish I had another truck you could wish your magic on! read more

I've had an excellent experience with this shop. They're far more professional and efficient than many others I've dealt with. They handled the repairs on my CT6 Cadillac after an accident, and the results were outstanding. They fixed the front body, including the bumper, as well as the doors. The pricing was very reasonable, and the work was completed within a fair timeframe. Highly recommended. read more

Super quick and great service! My heat in my Jeep was not working. I dropped it off at 1pm, and about two-three hours later Sam sent me pictures of the issue along with an estimate. He was in constant communication with me, and sent me text updates. I was without my Jeep for less than 24 hours. read more

I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra that needed a new engine due to engine knock. Sam found a used engine with 32K miles on it quickly. I dropped my car off on a Saturday and picked it up on a Tuesday. Very quick for an engine replacement. It drives well and the work he did was quality. read more

I've had a great experience with this shop. Honest, knowledgeable, and very fair pricing. They explained everything clearly and didn't try to upsell anything unnecessary. It's hard to find mechanics you can truly trust, but this is definitely one of them. Highly recommend! read more
