Sam did amazing diagnosit & electrical work for my car.... The Honda in moses lake dealership tried to charge me $5000 for a new hybrid computer module after they sold me a $150 battery and charged me $600 for diagnostics and service. *THE STORY * I went on a long road trip to lake rosevelt and left my car in the sun at a dirt parking lot for 3 days, we had a house boat so I wasn't around the car for days. When I came back to the car it turned on but EVERY single warning light possible came on.. it was scary. With AAA I got it towed to the honda dealership in moses lake and these guys legit tried to scam me, I told them multiple times to please check the wiring because there should be no reason for the failure, the car was only like 100K miles at the time. The offered to buy my car for 50% of the value and told me it would take months for the replacement part that they recommend which was like $5k... I called another dealership in everett (which was 3 hours away) and they said to be careful and not trust the techs because the hybrid computer shouldn't have gone out. I called Sam aswell and he said that, that something seemed off. He offered to come to my house if I would tow the car there and he might be able to fix it on the spot. My friend drove down from everett and we rented a uhaul trailer, towed it like 3-4 hours back to my house in Lynnwood, WA. Sam came out the next day and I'll tell you within 5-10 minutes with a smile on his face he told me he found the problem and it was a easy! Somehow the wiring on the hybrid computer terminal were cut/torn, he resoldered the wires and taped them up and VIOLA! all the WARNING and CHECK engine lights were GONE!!! He only charged me like $150 for the job and that was a steal! The guys at Honda not only tried to scam me, they made me buy parts (a new battery) that I didn't actually need. Thank you Sam, you are probably the best electrical mechanic I have seen when it comes to the auto industry. Look at the photos, you can see the issue, Sam found it within minutes and fixed it all within 30 minutes. read more

I notice that Yelp deems 5 stars as great. In Sam's case, I think "FANTASTIC" is a better description. I have used Sam on two different occasions, and on all my cars. In the first instance, he gave me a quote over the phone and stuck with that price. In the second time, he worked on my wife's and daughter's cars on a weekend. There are a few points to consider as a reason to use Sam: *Pricing - Sam is fair, and he stayed with the quoted price. *Availability - The first time I asked Sam out, he came same day. The second time, he came out on a weekend. *Perseverance - Even with the challenges brought on by today's complex vehicles, he had an upbeat attitude long after I would have been frustrated. *Thoroughness - Sam not only used his experience to diagnose the problems, he also listened to us and asked probing questions to narrow down the issues. In a shop, we drop off the keys and they write down our issues in 10 words or less. *Friendliness - Every time I stepped out to see if he needed anything, he was willing to give me a progress report. He offered his opinion, but I felt like the decisions on my cars were up to me. He even took the time to pet our dog. *Convenience - Obviously, being a mobile mechanic meant I didn't have to drop my car off and get a ride back home or to work. While I don't look forward to my cars breaking down, I will certainly recommend Sam to help maintain them and keep them on the road. read more

I've done a considerable amount of work on vehicles and I've also used various mechanical, stereo, and detailing shops when Im short on time. After being burned several times, I'm typically hesitant/cautious to use a 3rd party to work on my stuff. Sam is an extremely sharp individual with a broad array of deep technical knowledge and skillsets. After being burned several times by businesses that prioritize their margins vs quality- Sam deserves some accolades. I would honestly trust him to solve all my vehicle needs. I have a very heavily modified truck that had work from the previous owner that was frankly a birds nest of wiring. Sam solved some serious issues that I was having and hadnt been able to figure out- turn signals not working, towing package/trailer braking not being reliable, seat electrical issues, headlights not working, etc etc. These issues were DEEP and random. He cleaned it all up and had it working. I thought it would never be solved and well... I guess I got lucky by finding the right guy. read more

Huge thanks to Sam for his help installing an android nav system with bluetooth in my older car. The install was absolutely perfect! Sam came to my home and did the work in exactly the time he said it would take at a great price. He also installed a back up camera for me which is much needed. He has all of the tools and great setup which gave me extra confidence in the work. I am very happy with the system that has helped upgrade the car. Very efficient, hard working and reliable! Thanks Sam! read more

Sam installed a new radio in our 1975 MG, working his way around a messy install by an earlier owner. Sam tidied up the wiring mess and left the dash looking better than before. The sound system is great and makes this car even more fun to drive. Sam cares about doing quality work and treated our car like his own. read more
