My car sat all winter in the driveway (not by choice ). I brought the vehicle here. He did an outstanding job saving my vehicle. New brakes, battery, and oil change. Honest work. Job well done read more

When on vacation and in need of auto service,a radiator, we weren't sure where to go until we asked a couple of locals. Both recommended Sam's. There are two locations and though the first location,Dennis, wasn't as close to where we were staying he recommended their second location in Harwich. Sam not only helped us but was able to fix our vehicle within 24 hours which was extremely accommodating, seeing we only had one vehicle with us on vacation. Very reasonably priced as well. Thank you Sam, with appreciation, Lisa and Ed H read more

Place is a joke Made an appt they don't honor it They took other business Very not nice, felt personality from owner They also tried to overcharge but I was ok paying. Had my own stuff, $50 for oil change -just labor read more

Sam sold a car to us that was a lemon. He told us it was in good condition. For the last 2 years it has been in and out of the shop because he did not check it car completely. It was unsafe from day one. DO NOT purchase anything from him! He charged is 8grand to a 3000 dollar car! read more

We bring all our family cars to Sam's Automotive Center. They are honest, fairly priced and communicate well. When we bring a car in for repair they give options of repair or replace when they can. Last time they even saved the broken part to show me why it needed to be replaced. I highly recommend them. read more

Had severe vibration from the left front wheel. Being on vacation from Pennsylvania with a short window for diagnosis and repair. I called a dozen shops but only Sam' s could fit me in right away. They diagnosed the wheel was loose and bearing was shot. The quality repair was done the same day at a very fair cost and we able to complete our vacation and return safely. read more

So, a couple of days ago i had my car towed to this location and they quoted $800 to fix my car saying the fuel pump was broken. I shopped around and had it towed to a different mechanic who said he will fix the pump for $350, when i had my car towed to the other store, the other mechanic told me the car is just out of gas. I spent $120 on ordering new parts and towing to only find out the car was just out of gas. Sam's auto repair shop was going to charge me $800 to fix a car thats out of gas??? Either they are very bad mechanics that cant tell a difference between a broken car or out of gas car or they are out there to scam people out of their money. It is absolutely unacceptable, because i depend on my car and i was so close to pay them $800 to fix it. I will be writing a complaint to better bureau business to report this incident. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Sam is a friendly, talented, and honest guy. He does all of my service and inspections. I've had everything from oil changes to carburetors to transmissions, rear ends, electrical, shifters, wheels, brakes, you name it. The man is very fair and an overall great guy. He will save you money any time he can as well. I won't go anywhere else. read more

On the Cape for 4th of July ended up with a flat tire... Found Sams on yelp - they were very helpful with giving me a tow trucks number to get my car to them... And were able to save/patch the tire instead of ordering a new one... Very quick service and very honest workers - appreciate it! read more

My check-engine light came on while visiting Harwich. Sam was recommended to me by another shop, and I'm glad he was! He took in my car that morning, gave me a call to discuss pricing and his proposed fix (replacing spark plugs / coils), and explained everything clearly. I got my car back that same afternoon - and I think he even waived some costs for unexpected labor. Would definitely recommend Sam if you have car trouble while on the Cape, or if you're a local that looking for a shop that's transparent. Thanks again! read more

These guys helped me out when I needed my a/c repaired quickly to pick up an elderly guest. I was in & out! Top rated!

I brought my car to sams auto in Harwich MA on 4/26/2024 I orginally brought my car in cause my front end felt very squishy and I also had a mysterious clunking noise and knew that it didnt feel right and that It needed to be looked at and it needed to be fixed and on this date they ended up doing a diagnostic on my vehicle found out that both of my struts and sway bar links were bad and they needed to be replaced sam ended up replacing everything for a total cost in repairs of $1,150 at this point I took off with my car and the clunking noise was still there I brought it back into him cause the same problem was there and it was very concerning I then brought my car in to get the valve seal gaskets needed to be replaced so I called and made an appointment for Sams auto to replace the valve seal gaskets on my car and now as of 6/24/2024 I had to bring my car into the chevy dealership cause we have been experiencing problems that has not only caused my abs light to come on but it also caused my traction control light to come on as well as my esc light with the check engine light that is when I found out on 6/24/2024 that I have had an active misfire going on with my car so as the owner of the car I asked the chevy dealership if having my valve seal gaskets replaced would have anything to deal with my misfire that is when they have told me that the those seal gaskets WERE NOT REPLACED CORRECTLY and that they needed to be replaced again. These repairs as of today costed me $1,708.22 When I called to confront Sams auto they made me feel like I was dumb and that I did not know what I was talking about and for them to take care of there work that "you had to tow it to them for them to fix it" are you kidding me. I have given you more then one chance to fix your problems and yet you do not even know how to respect your customers and make them feel like they are not right when it comes to your customers having concerns or real complaints I would not recommend bringing your car here I would recommend having your car brought somewhere else to be serviced cause they lack customer service skills in the ability to fix a car correctly read more

i will never use this company again.Horrible ,bought a car from here and got ripped off had to spend 2200 more at Subaru just so it would be drivable and safe .Failed inspection was told because a reset needs to adjust . Subaru showed me the crack in the exhaust. I would never trust this company again , just unqualified untrustworthy people run from these rip off artists read more

So, listen. I don't want to ruin anyone's livelihood so I am going to put this as succinctly as possible. If you need anything more involved than a tire or oil change, go elsewhere. Without even getting into the fact that Sam held the car in question hostage for over a month, I will instead tell how the car was so poorly put back together after Sam worked on it that we narrowly dodged a tragic accident on our 5 hour drive home after said car was finally released from its captivity. I am not exaggerating. We were extremely lucky since, unbeknownst to us, our tire was slowly coming off of the front axel bolt by bolt until the car was not driveable. It was solely the work of our guardian angels that this only revealed itself in my driveway and not as we traveled 70 miles per hour on Interstate 95. Thank you, guardian angel. Thanks for nothing, Sam. read more

I just had the most expensive oil change I ever had. Sam charged me more the twice as much as I have ever paid for an oil change for this car. read more

This guy is great. Professional, reasonable, reliable. We had a flat coming (bolt in our tire) at 4:30pm on a busy summer Thursday. Sam had a lot of cars he was working on and getting ready to close. At first he asked us to leave our car overnight and he would fix the flat in the morning but before I could say yes he had the car jack under the chassis and was taking the wheel off! I'm not exaggerating when I say he repaired it and had us on our way in less than 10 minutes. We were so happy we wanted to give him a tip but he wouldn't take it! Sam and his business are first class! We will definitely return if needed in the future. Thanks Sam for all your help! read more

While visiting the Cape and staying with a friend my car stalled near Sam's new location in Dennisport. The Police Officer who assisted me suggested I have the car towed there. The manager told me the car would be diagnosed and I would be contacted the next day .I got a call the next day and I was told I needed a fuel pump. I doubted this since the pump was nearly new, installed by my long time mechanic in Connecticut, warrantied for parts and labor for a year. I told him to hold off and contacted my Ct mechanic who in turn called and questioned their diagnosis since the pump was virtually new, my mechanic did not like the answers and told me they seemed offended he even asked , and had questioned their assessment. He offered to pay for the diagnosis but wanted the car towed to my friends home a few miles away. The manager told my mechanic no charge, and the car was towed to my friend's driveway. My mechanic was so troubled over this, he drove four hours up from Ct. the next next day with a trunk full of tools, It was not the fuel pump and he had the car running perfectly in an hour by replacing a $ 6.00 fuse. I was of course out over two hundred dollars for two towing fees one of which would not have been necessary had the diagnosis been correct. The readers of my review may draw their own conclusions. I will not speculate , these are the facts. read more

Sam's Automotive Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Harwich, Massachusetts

Honest, professional and extremely reliable. I don't usually write reviews for anything other than restaurants but this place deserve the praise. The owner Sam welcomed me on a busy day and was able to fix my vehicle as promised, on time and at a great price. Since this was my first time visiting the shop I was skeptical as I usually am of places other than dealerships considering my vehicle is fairly new and was still under warranty. Regardless, that day, I needed work done asap and Sam took great care of me. As I waited for my vehicle I observed tons of locals and customers s popping in and out greeting Sam by his first name. Big plus in my books! Shows he's a great guy and people are loyal to him. This is always a sign any business is doing something right! Good luck Sam and your crew! It was a pleasure read more

We were up for vacation and our car made a terrible sound under the front passenger side tire. Sam's was able to find the problem and fix it. We call several other places and no one was able to even look at it. They kept in contact with us and showed us the problem. read more

New auto shop where you can get your oil changed, and any other maintenance needs. It is so great to see a new local auto shop running a business that you can trust. Sam has a very strong background in mechanics and is a man of his word. This is now his second shop he has opened, the other is located in Yarmouth. A+! read more

See all

I would definitely recommend this place. I was turned onto it from a mechanic friend. Friendly and honest. As a female you always worry at the mechanics. I got everything explained to me and he even told me what needed to be fixed and what really didn't. This will definitely be my new go to place. read more

I pulled into Sam's a few months ago to get a sticker, he took it right in and I was done in 15 minutes. Quick easy no hassle. Brought truck in for brakes no hassle done that day. Family member brought car in for work quick easy no hassle. Very reasonable easy to do business with. I would reccomend. I have used a few different places for service in the past but I'll go to Sam's from now on. read more

Thanks Sam, (and the guy who actually fixed my tire..)! And thanks for the work you've done for me in the past. My Ford Ranger and my Toyota Camry thank you also. Next time I come by, I'll bring Benz a Milkbone. read more

Once again, Sam came to the rescue when I was about to leave the Cape after a family visit to head back to CT, and woke to a flat tire. Lug nuts were also stripped, but Sam made it possible to safely return to CT! Second time he readily took me in right away. Great professional, friendly, service! read more

On the way to the Cape to visit my uncle, one of my rear wheels was making loud clunking and sqealing sounds. I called Sam based on other Yelp reviews and he was able to look at my car that day. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a broken strut, quoted a price, suggested I do the other rear strut since it was so rusted and did the work that day. I was lucky he could see me right away. He is smart and friendly and professional. I would go back there for any other car needs when I am in the area. I would rate my experience as excellent. read more

I am never going to come here again. I had to get new tires and 3 months later heard a noise. It got worse so I went to the nearest mechanic. He told me that my tires was missing 2 lug nuts and 1 was loose. I could have had an accident and gone on the highway. I called them and they are giving me a hard time. The bill was $50 that cost me and want my money back. read more

A year later; still 5 stars. 2012 Toyota, driver's side window goes phooey. Is this a dealer problem? Hyannis T. is always a long, long wait and Orleans is at least a two day on everything....Can you fix this, Sam? Of course. Thought the car would be at his shop all day, but Sam called before noon saying he was lucky the part was in stock at the dealer/supplier and they subsequently delivered that morning. So; oil change, fluids changed, new tail light and window track - all done easily and quickly. The best. read more
