Sam's Automotive Repair in
North Bergen Township (NJ)

Sam was our New Year's eve Miracle! We broke down on the N.J. turnpike and had to be towed off the turnpike. We were told it would be impossible to have the car repaired and to plan to be in Jersey for the next 2 days because nobody would fix it at 4 on New Years Eve and nobody will be open New Year's Day. We called Sam to see if we could get it looked at today and he said absolutely, bring it in. That in itself was a sigh of relief, but the tow truck driver reminded us, yes he can look at it, but it wont be fixed today. Well Sam went out of his way and proved the driver wrong. He could fix the car, but didnt have the part. He called around and found one 30 minutes away. The shop should have closed at 7. But Sam made it happen. He got the part, and stayed late to fix our car and get us on our way. He was smart, knew what needed to be done, was friendly, helpful, informative and skilled. He was our bright spot on our trip home. We highly recommend him and wish he was local to us, because he would be getting all of our business. Thank you Sam!

I had my first ever flat tire today, and even though I was stressed at first, my experience here completely turned my day around. I drove to the shop with my flat tire, and Sam helped me right away. He was kind, efficient, and got my tire replaced quickly — and the price was very reasonable too. What could’ve been a bad day actually became a really positive experience. It reminded me that life can have “flat tires,” but as long as you stay calm, take care of yourself, and trust that things will work out, they usually do. I’m really grateful for the great service and kindness I received here. Highly recommend!

Forget the shady corrupt shops! Come to Sam's repair! Honest knowledgable down to earth guy with fair prices. Passed my inspection thanks to him and his mechanic fully repairing my check engine that was on for monthss, on a Sunday afternoon, that was awesome! Every other place gave me run around and astronomical prices, not Sam. I highly recommend this shop. Respectful, straight forward and thorough without getting ripped. I really appreaciate you Sam and your mechanic!! Thank you so much! Def coming back for anything else. DO NOT HESITATE TO COME HERE!

Sam is truly an amazing guy!! We were stuck in New jersey trying to get home to Missouri and our water pump went out!! 17 hours from home, super stressed out, and know absolutely no one here I called around to shops. No one could help us it was so close to 5 and everyone was shutting for the weekend. I saw Sam's business name read a few reviews and called. He had us come to him to diagnose the problem, got it figured out, and planned to do the next morning. We came in got the part put on and were on our way. Before we left he told us to text him if anything happened. Unfortunately the part we had gotten was defective from the part store and we had an issue so we called him and he told us to come back and we would get it figured out and fixed. He opened early for us to get the new part on so we could get on the road to home, got us breakfast sandwiches and coffees, and his whole crew here was so nice and chill. We 1000% recommend this auto repair shop for all your needs. He's fast, efficient, nice, and understanding. ❤️❤️

Sam’s automotive repair shop took me in last minute to repair a flat tire that needed to be fixed to be able to safely drive back to Montreal. Super service and friendly service. Thank you so much. Merci 🤩

I was out of town when my car overheated on a Sunday. Sam was able to diagnose and fix my vehicle that day. He is very professional and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

Both of my front tires had punctures and Sam patched them up really quick and for a reasonable price. 10/10 service. Would absolutely go back to him!

Sam is the best! My wife and daughter were traveling to NYC and their car was dead in a parking garage in Weehawken. Late on a Friday. He came to the car got it jumped and had them follow him to the shop to get a new battery and they were on their way. God bless this man and I highly recommend this shop!

Sam is the best mechanic out there. I went there for a vibration issue in my car when I accelerate above 40 miles per hour . Two mechanics Dave auto repair and Ramzi auto repair both worked on my car and couldn’t fix it at all. Sam is able to quickly identify and resolve the issue easily . He is the man !

Sam to the rescue! Last Saturday car wasn't starting. Portable car jumper + another car jump starting the car didn't help. Online, I set up an at home servic appointment. The earliest appointment available was on Monday morning... the company never showed, nor called. Found Sam's automotive repair was in the neighborhood, found them on Google and gave them a call. Sam confirmed he was nearby and was able to come by soon and called a short while later when he was on his way. I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. He took his time to explain the issue with my car in a way that was easy to understand and was able to start the car. The starter needed to be replaced or this could happen again at any time. My daughter took the car to his shop and it was fixed within a couple of hours and without any pressure to add on unnecessary services. Pricing was fair and I feel like I got great value for the quality of service provided. I’ll definitely be going back in the near future for maintenance, want to confirm the car will be in good condition before the winter. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, efficient and quality car care. Thanks again Sam!

Couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to Sam. Car went down and I was in a jam. It was just before the shop closed but Sam answered my random call anyway, finding his number by googling in a panic a nearby mechanic online. You can immediately tell by the sincerity in his voice that he was genuine. Helped me find a tow, confirmed when he received my car, managed and communicated expectations perfectly, and guess what, fixed a unique problem perfectly. Explained everything he did clearly for me to understand and the price was more than fair. Sam earned a customer for life and I find it funny that by a random chance that I found him. I’ll never use anyone else moving forward. When you know nothing or little about cars and need a mechanic you can trust.. just go see Sam and his team. You can thank me later.

I recently had my car serviced at Sam’s Automotive Repair; Sam was kind and efficient. He fixed my car’s front bumper for an affordable price and his crew even straightened out my plate which was dented in, and fixed a pushed in back reflector, which wasn’t part of the job or price.. They surely made me feel welcomed, helped, and happy. I definitely recommend this auto body shop. Great Guys!

Sam knows his craft, he spent years at a luxury car dealership as a master techinician. He is one of the very few honest and compassionate shop owner I’ve dealt with. My radiator needed to be replaced and he did not up-sell anything since I was on a tight budget. I’ve noticed other customers were happy with his services, and his mechanics are knowledgeable and very polite as well. He has a direct line when calling his shop. He made me test drove my car with him on the passenger after the repairs were done to make sure everything is good. Thank you Sam!

Hands down the best auto repair experience I've ever had, whether independent or dealer, body or mechanical. Sam is professional, transparent, communicative, and reliable. His estimate was lower than 2 others in the area. I paid out of pocket, so the cost was extra important. You won't find better value or experience.

Other auto shop wanted to redo the whole engine for $4K. Sam recommended starting from basic maintenance and see if that solves the problem (misfires). Spark plugs were replaced and 2 coils. Its did the work. Cars got 300K miles on it. If it's good for 50K I'm good.

The best place I've been to get my car fix in my 30 years of driving. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest assessment of your vehicle problem. The owner Sam is honest and trustworthy. Give this place a shot but have patience because he's so good you may have to wait. But he's open 7 days a week including Sunday. Prices are fair and reasonable $$$.

Sam was very helpful and got the job well done! Most body shops are closed on Sundays in the area but it was very helpful that he and his staff were open. Most importantly he helped me identify the noise coming from my car by taking a drive with me before and AFTER the job was done to make sure its all in order. I never came across a mechanic test driving the car with me to be that thorough. As a customer, it was very reassuring of the work! Trust-worthy shop.

Sam was the most helpful mechanic around town!! Everyone else wanted an appointment for a week or two ahead and I called Sam and he said I would be able to go in same day! Did a quick diagnostic and was back on the road after He addressed and fixed the problem! Now im able to drive 800 miles back home, Thank you Sam!

I had an issue with my AC in a 2006 Pontiac Vibe. No other mechanic said they would be able to take care of it today. But I called Sam and never even had to ask that question. Within a few responses back and forth via phone call Sam practically knew what the issue was and told me to bring it in within the hour. I didn’t mind paying him the fair price he quoted me at for the work ($750 to replace a radiator and AC blowing unit + some other intricacies I didn’t comprehend). Thank you Sam for your hard work and dedication, folks like you are few and far between these days.

After getting back to my car, that sat for 1x week, at the cruise parking lot, we noticed a loud thumping noise. We had many hours of driving to get back home, and did not feel safe. Other garages had no availability and we were in a jam. I called Sam’s garage and he answered before the start of his business day and told us to him the vehicle. Sam saved the day! We needed new brakes and he resolved our car issue. We were able to get home safely, thanks to Sam!!! Very reasonable prices. Thank you Sam x a million!!!

I drove all the way from Long Island to Jersey for a gig (Mobile DJ). The gig was from 11 AM - 3 PM and my car broke down just before the gig. Luckily I made it to the gig but knew I had to get the car fixed before driving it back to Long Island. So it’s 3 PM by the time the gig ends on a Saturday and it’s usually a nightmare just trying to find someone open at that time. I googled and found Sam. Not only was he open but he got my car fixed that same day. My car runs great, I got home safe, and was at home sleeping in my bed on Long Island that night. And the price was great too. Would 100/100 recommend. Thanks so much Sam! You’re a lifesaver!

A+++ Highly recommend going to Sam’s for your auto repair work, maintenance, and modifications. Sam is super helpful and knowledgeable. His prices are affordable as well! I was driving my 4Runner from Queens, NY to NJ to run some errands a couple weeks ago on a Sunday. All of a sudden I heard a loud rumble from the exhaust as if I had open pipes. When I pulled over, I noticed the C-clamp on my aftermarket exhaust had come loose, which was causing the loud noises. Since it was Sunday, late-afternoon most auto repair shops were closed. I’m so blessed to have found Sam and his shop. He said “bring it in and I’ll take care of it”. Sam was able to squeeze me in and get the exhaust and c-clamp back onto. Problem solved in <30 mins and at a very reasonable price. What a huge relief! Thank you, Sam! I’ll be back for other maintenance and modifications work soon!

My son and I were visiting the New York/New Jersey area, and during our trip, our car started having problems and making a strange noise. We needed the car assessed and fixed quickly so we could drive home safely on schedule. We called several places that would not fit us into their schedule for at least a week. When we called Sam, he was able to help us right away. He diagnosed the problem and had it fixed for us the next day, even though he had many other cars in his shop. We were able to drive back with peace of mind, and the car is running great now.

About 2 weeks ago, I had to get an oil change and tire pressure done quickly, I called and got an appointment for the next morning! The price was cheaper than I expected. Sam even looked at my tires and gave me some pointers since I am a new car owner. I am very pleased with the service I received, and I will use Sam's services to help maintain my car.

Sam is transparent, honest, kind and quick. I had issues with a recently replaced battery and Sam was able to quickly accommodate for my situation and take his time to educate me on the issue. My previous experiences with mechanics have been quite the opposite. If you care about your car and its longevity, go with Sam!

I had my car looked at for my hood and battery. Sam took a quick look at it and took care of it. What was surprising was that he took a look at a rattling noise that my car had for weeks now. He and his employee lifted my car, looked under and tighten some bolts. Viola! Fixed it in under 15 mins and charged $100. What I like about his business is he actually looks at the issue at hand and fixes it! Hope his business flourishes.

Sam is reliable. Even when his shop was going through a tough time with a fire, he still reached out to schedule repairs to my car and everything was done in a very thorough and timely manner. When price went a bit over budget, he still was able to negotiate with me to meet my needs. I appreciate his honest way of doing business!
