Sam is the guru for hybrids! He knows on and out of a hybrid vehicle . Dr Hybrid. He transparent, fair and trustworthy. He fixed my Ford Fusion hybrid for the fraction of the cost of a dealer. Thought it was the EV battery and ultimately was the pump. He is the best. Highly recommend for you hybrid vehicle

Es el mejor híbrido mecánico que he conocido lo mejor

I took my car to him, said he was going to do the brakes and a he did was put it up to computer and cleared the error message and that was it.

Sam cares and is very knowledgeable. Great prices with warranty

I don't normally leave reviews but I felt the need to after Sam drove out to fix my misfiring engine several months after he had repaired it the first time. He wanted to save me the cost of a tow truck and I am very appreciative of his customer service. Sam has earned a loyal customer in me and I'm sure he will if you take your car there for all your hybrid needs.

Dogged troubleshooter, honest business, knowledgeable and forthright.

Sam is great, only person I trust to work on my car. Does honest work

Called Sam on Monday to repair my 07 Prius which needed a new brake acutuator. Had read on Reddit that he was good with hybrids. When he picked up he offered to repair it for $1000. The other shops I'd called wanted $2-2500 for the job and had a week or more wait. He told me to bring it in on Wednesday and had it fixed that same evening. Could not have asked for better or more generous service. It seems like he's not in it for the money - just to help people get back on the road. He's got a lifelong customer in me.

Great service. 10/10 my main mechanic

October 2023 I was surprised to see Sam’s google reviews and thought maybe he incentivized customers to leave a review. I was wrong, Sam never even mentioned it and all the reviews I read were accurate. I was quoted by North Park Toyota over $2,400, but Sam did the same job for 1/3rd of the price. Honest guy and went beyond the scope of work. I picked up my car and the engine bay had been cleaned, a pleasant surprise. Don’t hesitate to visit Sam with your hybrid needs. 2010 Toyota Prius w/ 195k miles ******** Update / 3 Jul 24 My car started having problems a couple days ago, the terrible loud engine shaking. I sent it to Sam and he had it back and running smoothly within 24 hours. I appreciate his honesty, and very fair pricing. I don't think you will find anyone out there with more knowledge about these hybrids. 2010 Toyota Prius w/ 203k miles

Excellent service!! If u are looking for an honest and rally good mechanic for good and fair prices this is the place, my friends recommended to me and i confirm, Sam is kind and very professional, I’m happy with every single service that i have had in this place. I totally recommend this workshop.

Hybrid genius. Fair prices. Cute cat. Has saved our Prius’ life twice!

If Google would have 10 stars or more I would give all to Sam! Its difficult to find a Car Mechanic/Auto Repair Shop with transparency, honest & trustworthy. But Sam-the owner has all of the above & more. It was my first time at his Repair Shop with My Toyota Prius Hybrid having electrical issue with the MDF and Side Power Mirrors. Shopped around via phone calls and every single mechanic was willing to look at the problem with diagnostic fee of $150 or more. When I called Sam he asked me to bring in my Vehicle and he would inspect/diagnose at no charge and quote me(for the repair) after he finds the problem. I put my faith in him and took my vehicle and within minutes he found the issue and resolved it happily. Also note here that he was busy/occupied working on another car engine but he took my car in without any delay or wait time which most shops make you wait. Truly recommend him and if I have any Hybrid Car issues I will take my vehicle to him for fix. Thank you Sam & keep up the good work for the community.

Sam's Auto works on hybrid cars. For 9 years , Sam has been the mechanic for two of my cars. I purchased a rebuilt hybrid prius from him about 7 years ago and it is still running great. Zero issues. Throughout the years he has always given me the lowest estimates and I am more than satisfied with the service and work performed. I plan to buy another car from him for my child. After 9 years, I am 100% confident in my choice to buy it from Sam's Auto, and I don't feel it is necessary to shop around. I highly recommend Sam's Auto UPDATE : previous post was March 2024. Today's post: 5/4/24 engine light came on. Autozone said that it was alternator or hybrid battery. Sam opened the hood and with one look said it was the water pump. It took about 20 minutes to fix and the car is still running great.

This gentleman is definitely a true hero I pulled up to his shop in distress having issues w a recent hybrid battery swap (which was my fault) he took time out of his day to recalibrate my cars Abs system, no ?s asked even tho he was busy! A true Prius genius and enthusiast! I really appreciate you Sam ! Best in san Antonio and in Texas hands down don’t waste your time and money with shops who don’t have the knowledge or the right software to fix any Prius issue ! Sam has it all !!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙

He's done great work for my family who drives Prius's. He's been a reliable source for years! ☺️

Sam is awesome. I had a Toyota Camry Hybrid 2014 wasn’t started, some mechanics said it’s because of the Key I mad a new key for it and pay $250 but it didn’t start then I towed my car to Sam he checked it, there was some sensor it was locked he bypassed that in 30 minutes and my car was ready for driving. I love his attitude he is humble, honest and professional I will recommend him for all Hybrid owner. Thanks Sam 😊

Sam really helped me on a gas leak in my Toyota Prius Gen 2. I brought it to two mechanics and they both couldn’t fix it. Sam found the problem within an hour and worked all day and into the night to fix my car because I was moving within 4 days. This guy really knows his stuff when it comes to hybrids

I have taken my car many times with Sam, and I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done. He genuinely cares about your car and what he does, he will always give you the best advice on what to do with your car and also always recommends where to find the best quality pieces for you car so it lasts long. He always goes the extra mile with his services, showing he truly cares about the customer. If you are reading the reviews to see if this is a good place to take your car, consider yourself lucky you just found him, you will not only get the best job done but also the best price! He has also given me so many tips on how to take good care of my car to keep it in good shape, I now see him as a friend. Thank you Sam! (:

Took my 14 ford fusion hybrid there after 2 mechanics couldn’t figure it out, Sam took care of the problem in no time at all at a good price. He definitely won’t break the bank and he knows what he is doing. Thank you.

After a disheartening experience at Toyota Cavendar Service Center, where they quoted an exorbitant $5,000 for what they deemed a battery replacement, I was at my wit's end. Their approach raised red flags and painted a clear picture of a lack of transparency. Eager for a second opinion and reluctant to dig into my savings based on a potentially dishonest assessment, I turned to the internet for help. Fortuitously, a Reddit post led me to Sam, a local hybrid specialist. As soon as I described the issue, Sam sprang into action. It was evident he had a genuine passion for his work, coupled with a deep understanding of hybrid vehicles. Instead of immediately suggesting a battery replacement, as Toyota had, Sam meticulously examined my car, identifying a filter under the seat that was in dire need of cleaning. He educated me about its significance—a crucial component I was previously unaware of. Not only did Sam restore my car's functionality, but he also prioritized imparting knowledge, ensuring I was well-versed with my vehicle's intricacies. His patience, expertise, and genuine desire to help were a breath of fresh air. Thanks to Sam, not only did I save a significant amount of money, but I also gained invaluable knowledge about my car. In an industry where honesty is a prized commodity, Sam shines as a beacon of integrity and skill. If you own a hybrid, I cannot recommend him enough.

My experience with Sam was very professional.very efficient ..honest ..and very inexpensive..he knows his trade from cradle ..he also made me feel he cares ..very respectful..and explained to me what the issues on the car were..very different than when a woman go to any other mechanic and they make you feel you don't know anything about cars. And on top of that they ripped you off..in th

Sam is a great guy, is knowledgeable and knows his business and on top of that is a great person to chat with treated like family. I appreciate the work today my friend and you’ve earned our dealerships business. Enrique Axis Motors

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!


Nov 27, 2023

Sam is the BEST! I am currently a college student and was struggling to find somewhere to fix my car at a reasonable price especially with my car being hybrid. Sam did an amazing job of fixing my car and communicating with me about what is exactly wrong with the car. He was honest, respectful and very professional. Will definitely be going back if my car has any problems :)


Nov 27, 2023

Sam really is the best at working on hybrids. He was able to fix my car at a great price! I had my car back and running better than ever before. I am so so so grateful for him fixing my car.
