Based on the reviews, this place seemed like a hit or miss. I'll admit that I was a bit hesitant at first. But my husband decided to give it a shot and took my car in. After speaking with him about his experience, I felt much more confident that this place was legit. I didn't personally interact with the mechanics since I had to be at work, but my husband brought my car to Sam's Automotive to replace two damaged wheel studs (which were messed up by a previous vendor). I provided the parts, and they quoted us about $100 for labor. At first, I was a little shocked by the price and unsure if I wanted to take the chance, but I'm glad I did. They fixed the issue, and I'm genuinely happy with the results. I did dock one star, though, because they told my husband the car needed an oil change--which he went ahead and approved. The thing is, I had just changed my oil about two months ago. I'm not sure if it was truly needed or just an upsell, but either way, my husband was satisfied with their service and didn't mind the extra cost. I appreciated their work on the wheel studs but was a bit iffy about the oil change, so I have mixed feelings. Still, it was ultimately a benefit to my car, and I wanted to leave a fair review for others who might be skeptical after reading some of the lower ratings. Hopefully, this helps other Yelpers make an informed decision and gives Sam's Automotive a chance to stand out from the negative reviews. Thank you Sam's Automative for fixing my car~ read more

I've been here a few times to fix a few different things with my car, ranging from a simple oil change to rats chewing up my wires and causing transmission issues, plus a coolant leak that I'd been dealing with for over 2 years that they were miraculously able to solve. Thank you to Henry for being kind and helpful! Great service, great people. Will 100% come back next time :) read more

Don't waste your money here I spent over 1000 $ to "fix" my car. Henry is the main guy that will fix your car for you. But literally a waste of time and money. He never gave me an estimate price only would say I don't know we'll see. He knew that I needed new coils because 3 of them were bad ones and there was only one working. The fuel injectors were clogged and charged me 250 for "replacing" then. After fixing them the car was leaking gas and he charged me an extra 250. So upsetting because he still wanted to charge me to diagnose my car. He still didn't give me a price on that so I decided not to go with him anymore and I messaged him that I found out he never replaced anything so honestly I don't recommend this spot. read more

Last year, when I got my car smogged, I failed and was referred to Sam's Automotive by the guy at the smog check place. Henry checked out my car and did the adjustment I needed, and to my complete shock...charged me nothing. He was so incredibly nice about it too. I decided that the next time my car needed anything, I was going to give this place a try. Since then, I've taken my car here twice, once for a major tune up, and just last week to get my timing belt changed. Both times I was really happy with the work and the price. I'd shopped around for the timing belt job for about a year, and Henry quoted me a very fair price compared to the the other places I've shopped. Being female, I think a lot of shops inflate their prices as soon as they see us walk in. I didn't get that vibe at all at Sam's. Bottom line, if you want friendly, honest, timely automotive service at a fair price, this is THE place. read more

Henry was a referral from another fine mechanic who has been helpful and professional. Going the extra mile to come to the house to assess my car and give me an honest and expert opinion after 3 mechanics looked at it and scratched their heads... Impressive!

I have a vehicle that I cherish and love. I've brought it here three times. I am not the type to ordinarily leave a review here, but feel compelled to share my excitement. The aesthetic fix ups that needed to be done were all taken care of. Any specialty glass alterations/tint etc were executed by his specialists. There is no job to big or small for this York blvd gem. Ask for Henry at Sam's Auto. read more

Great guy, great work, no problems. If you want an honest price and honest work, this is the place to go.

Sam's Auto is THE best repair shop in town. They actually care about the issues your car is causing for you - an empathetic auto shop I couldn't believe it! They are fast, friendly and honest. One time I heard a strange noise when I drove uphill but I couldn't duplicate it for them when I brought it in so Henry offered to drive around the hills in the neighborhood w me to help identify what the sound was. He will never tell you to repair something unless it's really needed and when it is needed he gives you best price in town and has been even known to leave a card on your car in your own driveway when the parts are in. Incredible service, incredible people. He even jumped my car once for free when I called them from up the street. I've been going there now for years and have never once had an issue. Can't recommend it highly enough! read more
