Sunny, AJ and the crew here are awesome! They are extremely nice, knowledgeable and caring. Dealing with the other party's insurance is very stressful and they get it. They have been doing this business for three generations since 1936 and they know what they are doing. Honest mechanic and give reasonable pricing. Very rare to find mechanics that go out of their way to help. The accident was unfortunate, but if it wasn't for the car accident, I would have never met these guys. Glad to say I found my new mechanic!

Excellent work done by honest mechanics. After getting into a car accident I found Sam’s Auto Repair and Body Shop online by looking up local shops with good reviews. Sam’s Auto Repair and Body Shop had excellent reviews so I directed the tow truck to take my car to Sam’s Auto Repair and Body Shop. Within a few minutes I started receiving calls from my insurance company trying to convince me to not bring my car in. After all the work was done it was very clear to me why the insurance did not want me to go there. Sam’s Auto Repair and Body Shop did not cheap out quality and parts. They purchased quality parts from the dealer when necessary and fought with the insurance company on my behalf to cover parts of the car that were damaged in the accident that my insurance company did not think ne

I decided not to have Sam's repair my car because I sensed I might be scammed. Sam wanted me to agree to an open-ended piece of work which would be billed at an unspecified hourly rate. The work would be on a small rust patch that had already been repaired once. Sam showed me an Impreza that had similar rust repairing done. But I noticed the Impreza was blocked from being removed from the shop by another car. As if the owner had been presented with a surprisingly high bill for hourly rate work, refused to pay, and had his car blocked so it could not be removed from the shop. Apart from the fact that Sam's would only offer me a rough estimate rather than a real "quote," the price I was given that was specified was high--4K. The shop nextdoor (Mid-American) took one quick look at my c

Finding a mechanic who you can trust can be a challenge but I feel that Sam's Auto Repair and Body Shop gives excellent service and thorough recommendations on car maintenance and unexpected car issues. Sam's Auto Repair and Body Shop deserve 5 star rating because of their excellent customer service. Few weeks ago, I got into horrible car accident and my car was fully damaged from front (see picture). It is such a hassle when you get into an accident. You want to give your car in good hands to be repaired in timely manner. Not to mention, I have hard time trusting the mechanics that were recommended to me by my insurance company as their reviews were average. I went online, did my own search, and came across Sam's Auto Repair and Body shop. I read the reviews thoroughly and spoke with own

Sunny (Moe) was very honest and helpful. I had a minor dent and he was able to fix it at a reasonable price on the same day I dropped it off.
