      Took my car for repair, it took them a month to try to fix(initial estimate was one week). On my way back after receiving it, it overheated, contacted them and the owner said he will send somebody or will tow it back as the car was not drivable. Then he stopped answering my phone calls. Never picked back the car or fixed it.

      Sameer "Sam" and his mechanics are solid folks. These guys will tell you what you need to know about problem areas and not tack on any frivolous work.

      It's not a fancy shop with an elaborate waiting room, but that's perfectly fine. Lower overhead costs equals more aggressively low service rates.

      I had a thermostat installed by them in a BMW go bad and Sam gladly swapped that out. The part was defective, but his responsiveness was not! This is a good shop...they are competent guys.

      I have been going to Sam's Automotive for years. During this whole time, his service has been the best. The quality of his work is outstanding. You're fine. Sam will research and give you the best pricing to get the job done.

      Had a check engine light and Sam's got me right in. Found the issue and fixed within a few hours. Great customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend.

      if I could give Sam six stars I would. This shop is a rare combination of honesty, fair prices, and quality service all wrapped into one. As long as I live in the area I will go nowhere else for my auto repair needs.

      If you're looking for a great, honest mechanic, Sam's Automotive in Sterling, VA. Only thing he doesn't do is body repair. After trying to go to Tires Plus in Herndon (avoid that place at all costs), my friend Marilyn recommended Sam. He not only fixed my brakes and gave me new shoes and pads, he charged a fair price and didn't gouge on the labor cost. Very rare to find such an honest mechanic these days. Highly recommended.

      This is a great independent garage. The owner Sam is very honest, professional and knowledgeable. The work done on my Jeep was outstanding. It drives like new now.

      They got me right in for my scheduled appointment time and the job was completed when promised.

      They took the time to discuss what they did and how proper maintenance will prevent this issue in the future.

      If you are looking for a great, honest garage in Sterling, this is the place to go!

      3 years ago, I made a review about Sam. And, to no real surprise, he is still my go to when it comes to my vehicles. Regardless if it's brakes, or oil changed or an inspection, he should be sought out over any chain location. He's a good guy who runs a great shop. Seek him out!
