Whether it's an oil change, changing out the rotors and brake pads, or major repair, I've consistently received top-notch service at Sam's.I've been a customer for almost a decade, and I can't praise them enough. Sam, the owner, brings over 30 years of experience, and it truly shows in the quality of their work.Sam's Auto Clinic is more than just a repair shop it's a trusted relationship.Sam's expertise keeps me coming back, knowing my car is in the best hands. If you want honesty and truth. He is your guy.I recommend him highly.

I recently had the pleasure of using Sam s Auto Clinic and I must say, they exceeded all my expectations. Not only was Sam incredibly thorough , ensuring everything was explained to me and that I understood what was being done , but his reliability was second to none. Every interaction was marked by honesty, which is such a rare find in the service industry these days. I wholeheartedly give him 5 stars and recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch car service! Thank You Sam for your great work.

I was a customer of Sam many years ago. My car is pretty old and had lots of issues. It took me long time to find a good car repair shop. Finally I found Sam's Auto Clinic. Sam is very good with my car and fixed the problems. He knows my car well and got all the jobs down. I'm still driving my car and it is in good shape. Sam is a nice person too. He really cares for people and their cars.

Sam is skilled, experienced, and honest. I took my Chevy to him. Didn t expect much from Chevy but Sam made all possible attempts to make it low price repair. He analyzed the problem and sent me videos to make a decision. Next time he didn t event charge me for the same problem. Finally, being a Chevy, it was an expense and problem was fixed by Sam. I liked he tried to make it less instead of replacing everything in the very first time, which have been easier for him. I am writing this after a year and problem is resolved.

I needed to do a brake job on my Porsche and I knew that you need a special diagnostics computer to perform the job. I contacted Sam s Auto Clinic and they had the tool to perform the job. Not to mention much less than what the dealer would charge. Been going to Sam for all my vehicle service needs for years. I wouldn t hesitate to give them business.

I can't say enough about Sam and his shop. I feel so fortunate to have found him 20 years ago. He's changed location since, 3 times, never ever remotely close to my house, but I keep going there anyway. I think even if he moves out of states, I'll follow him there. Hell, il still bring him my car when he retires. ;)He will tell you what your doing wrong with your car, and you know what? Hes always right. He totally calls me on my bad driving habit all the time, and tells me what to do to make the engine run better and longer. He's fast, reliable, and trustworthy, it's so nice to know that you can safely count on your mechanic.As you can guess I highly, highly recommend him. Bring him your car, you won't be disappointed.

Sam takes care of my cars at a fair price - from my 1990 Nissan truck to my 2005 Porsche or my 2012 Prius. He is the best!

Sam is the best car mechanic on the planet!!! I have been driving cars for over 30 years. About ten years ago, a friend of mine (also a mechanic) recommended Sam to me, and I never looked back. He fixes all my family s cars, and he is always thorough and charges a fair price. I will never take my cars to another mechanic.Services: Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

I have been taking my vehicles to Sam since 2014. Expert analysis, expert service. Sam cares about his customers, and it shows in the way he takes the time to talk through and discuss everything fully. He always listens to his customers and gives sound advice without being aggressive or demeaning. He is also fair with pricing and is always up front about potential costs, estimates, etc. I highly recommend you bring your vehicle to Sam for service.

I ve been going to Sam for my car repairs for almost 20 years. Even when he moved to La Canada I continue to take my car there for major repairs. He s skilled, knowledgeable, fair, prompt, and most of all competitively priced. He s like family at this point and always recommend him. If you re looking a for great mechanic, Sam s your man.

We all want a mechanic that we can trust. Well, you'll have that bond with Sam. I've been going to Sam's Auto Clinic since I moved to Los Angeles in 1996. He's moved once or twice in that time, but no matter where he goes, I follow -- and it's because of that most important quality: trust. Sam will look at your car, explain everything that is going on, and he will do his best to work within your budget. Sam does not inflate his prices or recommend unnecessary repairs. Believe me, we all know there are tons of car shops that will give you a laundry list of things you need to do to your car RIGHT NOW, but Sam doesn't operate that way. He tells you what you need now, what you might need down the road, and there's no pressure. Sam is great. I trust him completely, and it's an awesome feeling having somebody taking care of my car that I can trust.

Was on the 210 and my car started to jerk and decelerate. Glanced at the temp gage, it was all the way up to hot! To avoid causing an accident, I hit the emergency lights and made my way off the freeway. Found a safe spot to park and Googled the nearest mechanic. The first hit was Sam's Auto Clinic. I set the GPS and was on my way. The gage was still on hot but was not jerking as much. Was relieved when I pulled into the driveway. Parked and entered the office to the shop. Was greeted by Sam. Explained the situation and he made me feel confident that he would solve my issue. Left my keys with Sam and left to work. Sam kept in touch with me throughout the day. He explained what the issue was and how much it was going to cost. My car was fixed same day. Very happy with Sam's service and expertise. Highly recommend Sam's Auto Clinic.

The highest recommendation for Sam. He was honest about what needed to be done to get my car running well again, down to which parts needed replacement and which were still good. The diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance he performs are top notch, and the pricing is more than fair. The kind of mechanic you look for -- that is Sam.

Sam is an honest, straight up guy who does solid work for fair prices. Doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need. Works on just about anything, newer cars and a couple of my older cars, but can only do smog on 2000 or newer model years.Small, neighborhood type shop and a square deal with me so far.
