It was my first time for repairs here and it was recommended by a friend. Glad I came - they found the cause of my oil leak and were very communicative and direct with pricing. So glad I came; now I have a new mechanic I can trust! Thanks guys!

Great place with great service- they fixed my car up perfectly after a crash and even washed it after. Very responsive, easy to deal with, and got my car fixed in just a little over a week with short notice. Amar was especially friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

I love Anmar. I've never had a better mechanic. He's straightforward about what I need and what solutions will be. He's affordable and doesn't try and up-charge out the wazoo. He's transparent about additional issues he discovers (if any) and if they need an immediate fix or if they can wait, along with fixing everything I brought the car in for. Further he's super personable and remembers me and my life every time, I love getting to catch up with him. Highly recommend bringing your business here!

Ammar takes care of all my cars and he is super nice and very responsive. Never pushes unnecessary repairs. The most honest auto repair person I have met so far.

Anmar was incredibly helpful when my car was towed over to the shop. He even refilled my gas so my car battery could charge longer. Highly recommend for anyone needing a go-to mechanic

2014 WV Tiguan that's been to Sam's for new brakes, oil changes, inspections, transmission, electronic issues, and more. Their pricing is very competitive, if not always the best around. Customer service is exceptional, always accommodating, trustworthy, timely, and they gave me a loaner car when other shops told me only dealerships did this. Highly recommend, Anmar will take care of you.

I have been going to Sam’s Auto since 2003. They do great work and go above and beyond in their service. Also, they are honest and won’t sell you on any unnecessary repairs. I feel truly fortunate to have Sam’s Auto as my mechanics.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

New to Austin and my check engine light came on Sunday night. I started Monday morning at Auto Tek- they told me they were booked out two weeks even for a diagnostic. They referred me to their "overflow" shop Lopez Auto Repair but I opted against. Next I went to Dave's Ultimate Automotive- they told me I could drop my car off Wednesday afternoon and should expect $160 for diagnostic. Finally, I called Sam's. I was told I could drop the car off later Monday morning and they'd have a diagnosis by mid day. Sure enough at about 2:00, I got a call that I needed new spark plugs/ignition coils. The car was ready to be picked up by 5:30 before they closed- amazing!!The repair for my 2017 Ford Edge came out to $760. When I called Dave's and asked for a quote for the same repair, they came back with $842 PLUS the $160 diagnostic.Well done, Sam's. I now have my new auto shop established!***UPDATE 2 WEEKS LATER***As it turns out, my vehicle unfortunately had deeper issues than Anmar had originally anticipated. 2 days after the first repair, the engine light came back on. Hoping for the best, Anmar (at no cost) replaced the spark plugs saying they could be defective. Unfortunately the check engine light then came back a week later meaning the plugs were fine and there was a deeper issue. Knowing about notorious issues with Ford EcoBoost engines (side note- NEVER BUY A FORD), Anmar even printed the bulletin from the Ford website for us. We took the car to the Ford dealership and they confirmed the car needed a completely new engine- estimated repairs of $9K. We let Anmar know of this diagnosis (which came at a $120 fee) and he told us if we brought the vehicle back to him he would replace with the original spark plugs which he had saved, and give us a FULL REFUND. Sure enough, an hour later the car was ready with a check for $760.Moral of the story, I will never take my car anywhere but Sam’s as long as I live in Austin, and you should do the same. Incredibly honest and reliable business, hard to come by these days.THANK YOU ANMAR!

Noticed my tire pressure light was on and stopped by out of the blue to see if they could help, since it was my lunch break and this place is around the corner.Mr. Anmar (I’m so sorry if I got the name wrong!) was courteous and quick to help despite how busy they were and got things sorted immediately. Thank you, would recommend!

Very up front and honest about the work that needed done. Anmar was so kind and professional. He was sensitive to the fact that the estimate wasn’t cheap and was very understanding when I asked for time to decide. Never pushy or tried to upsell me.

Anmar is one of the nicest guys of all time. Always honest with me, never tries to upsell me on anything. Honest, hard-working, good prices. The number of times Anmar has just told me, "It's on the house," is honestly incredible. I've been going here for years and years and won't go anywhere else!

My car's ignition switch/cylinder was messed up from it recently being stolen. Sam's Auto Care did a great job in getting my car quickly fixed. Anmar kept me updated with the parts and prices along with offering his expert opinion which I greatly appreciate as I know next to nothing about cars. I never felt unaware about the repairs needed for my car due to Anmar's well explanations. Nonetheless, I felt very comfortable going into the shop especially as a woman. My car is running a lot more smoother than it did before it was stolen. Thank you Anmar and his team! I highly recommend this shop and will be coming back for my cars maintenance.

It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days but these guys are SO honest, so competent, so kind. I can’t speak highly enough of them. I took my truck to other places who quoted me thousands of dollars, only to be told by Sam’s that the issues were minor and just needed fluid replacement and some other smaller repairs. Thanks guys!!

I work at the salon across the st and we all take our cars to Sam’s. The nicest and most honest shop ever.They do a great job every time and for once I feel like I can take my car to the shop without getting robbed. Highly recommend it!
