I was recommended to Sam by a friend, 2 years ago, when my car broke down the day after I moved to Los Angeles. Not only did Sam explain the problems with my car in a very detailed but clear manor, he lent us a car during the repair time, allowing us to find a desperately needed apartment. Since then I have gone to Sam for all of my car needs (He does smog checks for cheaper than most as well). He treats his clients and his employees as friends and it shows. It is hard to believe that not only do I completely trust my mechanic, I also really like him too.
