Sam and his team are hands down the best hybrid technicians available. Don't let the size of their small shop fool you- these guys are true experts. They deeply understand every single aspect of how hybrid vehicles work, from the high-voltage battery systems to complex diagnostics. It is incredibly rare to find…
I normally deal with Sam directly who is a knowledgeable professional. Today, I arrived to drop off my vehicle or make an appointment. I was met by someone who didn’t introduce himself and had no identification to indicate he’s an employee for Sam. He told he to come back Monday because they are too busy. I asked…
Sam is an amazing mechanic, very knowledgeable and experienced. This is actually the second time I take my hybrid to him. He’s always very professional. This time he went over and above to help diagnose my problem. He’s patient and doesn’t mind explaining what he’s doing…if I could give him more stars I would!!! I definitely recommend him!
Sam is the most honest and knowledgeable mechanic I've ever met. If you're having issues with your Toyota Prius don't hesitate to stop by his shop. He'll take care of you!
The BEST service you can get!! Sam deserves a lot more credit than what can be put into words in a review. He's honest, trustworthy, and experienced!! I found Sam (like some of you may be doing) through his Google reviews. My 2007 Prius red triangle came on suddenly while I was leaving work and within 2 minutes, I…
The owner of Sam"s Auto Repair was truly a savior for my family. I was helping my daughter move back to NC and hoping we could drive her Toyota Prius home to Raleigh. However, because the Master Warning Light (known as the Triangle of Death) was on, the dashboard lights were intermittently going on and off, and the…
Sam is probably the most honest and hardworking mechanic I have ever met in my life. My Kia Optima Hybrid shut down and wouldn’t start. After reading the reviews I towed it to Sam’s, he looked over it and got back to me lightning fast and told me that the issue was with the Hybrid Battery and that it was still…
My car was in a bad condition after a minor cae accident. Sam to great care of my vehicle at an affordable price. I was very impressed with sam's work. I will advice to any prius owners out there to check out Sam's auto repair. I like to call him doctor Prius.
Thank Goodness for Sam!! !! He definitely is a life saver. I was about ready to junk my car and because of his honesty I decided not to. My 2008 Prius was back on the road in no time. His passion and knowledge about hybrid vehicle is amazing. I had taken it to the dealer and what would have costed me $4,500 was…
Sam's Auto saved my 2008 Ford Hybrid, after I took it to dealership (10k quote to replace hybrid battery) and a 'we can't help you' from a hybrid specialist shop in Austin. SAM is the MAN! Honest, professional, skilled mechanic. Highly recommend.
Sam’s is by far the best private mechanic I’ve been to for Toyota Prius repairs. Excellent shop, professional service and honest assessment of what needs attention. If you have a hybrid, go here!
I brought in my 2009 Chevy Tahoe hybrid for a check engine light diagnostic, and the owner gives honest information on the issue with the vehicle. This is my 2nd time stopping by and I would definitely recommend it 💯💯
I was very fortunate to find Sam’s shop. He is extremely experienced, having worked in dealerships in the past. The service and value is far better than the dealership can offer though. Sam knows his way around cars, particularly hybrids, and is quick to diagnose the problem and clear in explaining the options for…
