On one occasion the dealership quoted me a large amount to repair something. I brought the truck here and the mechanic found it was some minor issue and saved me about $1200. I believe many other shops would've tried to increase the bill with unnecessary work. 10/10

Had a very disappointing experience at this shop. I came in for a second opinion based on proximity…read moreand positive reviews, but ultimately left with a very bad impression. I initially came in for an oil change and asked the owner / owner's son, Riaz, to check a few items while the car was on the hoist: the belt drive, control arms, brake fluid, and brake pads. I was completely fine paying for an inspection, and he mentioned it would be easy to check since the car was already lifted. After the oil change, I was told that all of the above items needed attention. Based on his recommendation, I authorized the brake fluid service and belt drive replacement. The old belt was never shown to me after replacement. Regarding the brakes, I was told--both verbally over the phone and in writing on the invoice--that the brake pads were 1 mm in the front and 3 mm in the rear, and that they needed to be replaced ASAP. I found this odd and questioned it, but he doubled down and assured me this was accurate. I was quoted $550 per axle, trusted the assessment, and agreed. I was also given labor quotes for the work and asked to return once I purchased the pads and control arms. The labor pricing was on the higher side, though still lower than the dealership. The parts took about a week to arrive. Once the parts came in, I called around and found another shop that beat their pricing, so I dropped the car off there instead. Midway through the day, the new shop called me to ask whether I actually wanted to replace the rear brake pads, because they measured 6-7 mm remaining and didn't understand why they were being replaced at all. I have never experienced an auto shop calling to confirm work because they believed it was unnecessary and unreasonable. That alone speaks volumes. I returned to Amin's to see if they would make things right. When I first called, I was told, "What do you want us to do? The manager isn't here and won't be back for six weeks." After pushing back, I was told to come in and discuss it. When I arrived, Mr. Amin was extremely confrontational and stated that they "only eyeball the brake thickness." I explained that I came to their shop specifically for a professional opinion, and that I had written confirmation from their invoice stating the rear pads were 3 mm, which was clearly not the case. Had I not chosen to source my own parts, I would have been charged $1,100 for brake work that was not needed. I was ultimately told to "get lost and sue me if you want." There was no attempt to resolve the issue, no accountability, and no professionalism. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop. im out money for parts and labor which i never needed.

Having your older work van crap out on a busy road at the start of a busy schedule is possibly the…read moreworst luck you could have. I pulled it over to a quiet residential street, and the road was immediately covered in coolant. In short, not good! After some careful roadside diagnostics I realised that I would definitely need a mechanic's help to get a functioning pump going and reset my serpentine belt. I called a few places up, but Samson was the only one who could see it the next day. So I bring it in the next morning with a a new pump, ready to go but... it was defective! Had to rush an exchange and they redid the work ASAP. And the road coolant? A busted radiator! Totally unrelated, but they threw it in for a very reasonable labour rate and below market price on the radiator. So I got a pump installed and then reinstalled, my serpentine belt re tensioned, and a new radiator with install for well under $1000. Done after a single day, next day service. Amazing! And they noted another job that might need to be done soon (my van's 20 years old, go figure), but didn't pressure me to do it. Probably my best experience with a mechanic yet!

No gimmicks, no frills, but did good work for real cheap (due to the less expensive parts they secure). In the end though our wrecked controlling arm, trailing arm, etc was replaced for a very reasonable and inexpensive price, the alignment (which they don't have the machinery to do so they referred us to Pacific Alignment) cost us an arm and leg!! We do understand that alignments cost more money but we wish we understood their limitations because we might have just gone straight to Pacific Alignment instead, but I don't know if they would've reduced the price or not. It was just an extra hassle to move the car to Pacific Alignment to finish the work. However, I would still recommend this place because they're honest people doing honest work and they didn't charge us an arm and leg like the KalTire folks (we got a quote from them). However KalTire has great service and Samson's is more a mom and pop neighbourhood autobody. I would choose this place in a heartbeat because I love supporting honest small businesses, and this place is one of them!
