I recently visit the sam's auto repair for some maintenance on my vehicle, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and listened attentively to my concerns. They were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the issues with my car in detail, which I really appreciated.The quality of work done on my vehicle was top-notch. Not only did they address the initial problem efficiently, but they also conducted a thorough inspection and identified some potential issues that I wasn't even aware of. I left feeling confident that my car was in excellent hands.

As a small business, reliability, professionalism and timeliness is important. Sam's Auto meets all these requirements. We have been sending our vans at Sam's Auto for the past 5 years. Highly recommended.

Sam is always willing to help me out with whatever I need. I bring American and Japanese cars to him and no problem! I even know he works on BMWs a ton too. He's straight forward with what needs done and fair. Not passive aggressive either. When I moved to the area a few years ago, I was on the hunt for a shop like this. Annoying, I had to go through some overpriced and not efficient shops before getting to Sam. But glad I found him!

Sam has been working on mine and my family vehicles since 2019. When I had my Hyundai sonata to now that I drive a Toyota Tacoma. They re very reliable, flexible and efficient at what they do. I ve yet to visit another garage since we started working with Sam s auto. Check them out if you need service you can count on.

Update 3/2024Sam's Auto did a repair commissioned by Masic Motors. This is listed below. Not even a year and 20k miles it had to be done again. BUYER BEWARE. Be careful using this shop. I will never come here again and am going to report this to the proper individuals.**Update 4 months later**There is no way my brakes passed inspection at the level they were at. See pictures. You did replace the spark plugs. But plug 1 you forgot to plug in all the way. I inspected the coils and the plug was half out and not secured. I also said nothing about a misfire. It was a vibration. The squealing noise was present 24 hours after ownership. I have the communications to prove it. I'm not upset about the purchase. I'm upset about the service preformed by your shop!!! Bob from Masic did not help me with any repairs except the spark plugs. This is all they focused on when I sent it back to them 24 hours later. Then I was lied to and was not kept up to date on the rest of the information. Seems really shady to me...**BUYER. BEWARE**My vehicle was inspected at this shop courtesy of Masic Motors. This was done prior to us purchasing the vehicle as the inspection ran out in a few weeks. Masic took the care over and brought it back inspected. Within 48 hours of ownership, I noticed a squeal in the front driver's wheel. I mentioned this and the vehicle was looked at. They said only spark plugs needed replaced. While this was done at Sam's, it was not done correctly. One of the plug sensors to the coil never locked in place.Another 2 months went by and the squeal got louder and longer. I had the brakes checked and there was barely any pad left on the front wheels. I needed pads on the drivers and passenger side along with new rotors. I'm not sure how this passed Inspection. Seems like a sticker was slapped on the windshield. I should not have to do a comete brake job within 2 months of ownership regardless of miles. The rotors were also grooved so the wear was present before I owned the vehicle.

We 1st moved to PA May 2021 and Hubby's Town & Country had to be inspected as we needed to switch his MD CDL to PA and it's a process. Aamco was dishonest and said they couldn't pass it on safety and wanted $600 for strut replacement!! I said "NO WAY" and Sam was highly recommended by a Local Car Wash Owner on Jonestown Rd. So we took it there and told Sam if it needs struts then we'll do it but wanted to be sure and get 2nd opinion. He was SO polite and friendly and has the best demeanor! He said that he Car was fine and took care of us ASAP and saved us from unnecessary charges. We take our vehicles here for Inspection and all our mechanical needs. Sam's the best and A1 on price too!!

I found a truck that I really liked at Sam's dealership. Sam was very easy to work with and extremely honest with me. They also made sure the truck was perfect before I left the lot with it. Highly recommend Sam and his staff.

Sam's Auto is an honest repair shop! I do all my auto repairs but was left stranded and towed to Sam's Auto per my dad's recommendation. He did a proper diagnosis, and had me in and out for $85. Spark plug came lose due to a bad thread, which I suspected and he was straight up about. I'm definitely take'n my car back to him for anything I can't do myself. If you're look'n for a good & honest repair shop, trust Sam's Auto Repair And Sales LLC.Service: Engine repair

I was on a road trip with the family visiting Hershey for a few days when my water pump blew up. I didn't have much time to find a place, but Sam was the first one I called. He not only repaired my car quickly, but also rented me a car off his lot so we could continue our vacation. He was very honest and very helpful. His price was extremely reasonable. The world needs more people like him. Thanks again Sam!

We were traveling to the area for the weekend and our car started having some problems. Sam's auto agreed to have a look at the car on a Saturday and ended up staying well past closing to get the car finished so we wouldn't be late returning home from our trip. They really went above and beyond! The car is fixed and the price was very reasonable.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Sam does the best work in town. A family member introduced me to him a few years back and I won t take my cars anywhere else. Sam is honest and fair, and will tell you exactly what is needed for your vehicle. They don t make them like Sam anymore!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Auto tire replacement, Auto maintenance, Oil changeServices: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Auto tire replacement, Auto maintenance, Oil change

I parked my car at my new apartment behind Sams auto. I had it parked in the same spots for two weeks and was never given a warning or notice. There is no signage of private property anywhere in my sight. I asked Sam why I couldn t even get a warning or note that I was illegally parking in his lot and he was unprofessional (scoffing, blowing me off and telling me it s now a issue for the towing company). I was charged 215$ for parking on a poorly run auto repair company. Don t bring your car here.

Sam is the man! Hard to find truly honest people in this industry, but Sam and his family/technicians definitely fall into that. Bought a car from him for a fair price, and when i had an issue he offered to fix it for free! Free!!! What a guy. If you're in the harrisburg area and are looking for a mechanic you can trust to give you honest diagnoses and fair prices, look no further.A kind and honest guy running an honest business. You really feel like he's just as invested as you are in everything going right, and not just because he wants the money but because he actually cares.

I needed alternator replaced on '05 Accord. They said $230 for part, $120 laborI went home, bought part for $114, took it off my car (3 bolts), put in the new one in 20 minutes of labor. One of the easiest jobs.

Bought a Jeep from Sam's Auto a couple months ago. The sale was an easy process. A couple days after I bought the car, I dealt with some issues (check engine, oil well, etc.) Took it to a Jeep dealership to get a quote on the repairs, gave it Sam and he repaired it with almost no cost to me. Extremely reasonable and honest. I'll be going back to Sam's Auto for all my repairs in the future. 10/10 recommend.

I purchased my first vehicle from Sams Auto. Will was extremely thorough, polite, and answered every question me or my father had. I had to wait a few days for my funds to clear and they were patient with that. They worked with me. After I purchased my van, a tail light bulb went out. I brought it back and they fixed it then and there with no problem I was gone in 10 mins! Overall, I am a satisfied customer. They made it clear anything I may need to contact them, and so far so good. So thanks to the team at Sams Auto! Especially Will!!!!
