Sam is awesome! Took my Audi S4 in with shifting issues and Sam recommend a transmission flush. Car feels so much better now. Super fast service and very reasonable pricing. I don’t trust anyone else with my S4!!

It would be an understatement if I said the service I received here was any less than Immaculate!! Let me just say- my car was there less than 5 mins and had already been diagnosed (that may not mean anything to you but coming from other places where I would leave my car for days for a quote and service then having my car still have the same issue.. this is a blessing to me). Sam is so prompt, so attentive, so informative, so fairly priced (charges less than 1/3 of what I would have paid elsewhere). I only visited there once but I almost cried when he told me he was moving to Florida! Haha.. it was a joke! I can already go on and on about how amazing my experience was- and experiencing the trust and confidence his other clients- FRIENDS that were present displayed- puts the icing on the cake... THESE REVIEWS ARE ACCURATE!! I feel so confident about my new mechanic!!!! I can actually see myself keeping my BMW now!! Seriously, if you need work on your foreign and you need someone who cares that you can trust... TRY THIS GUY!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!

Sams Import Auto Repair shop have exceeded my expectations. We were new in town and was in need of a mechanic fast. We found Sams Auto repair online and brought it to him. I must say, he really takes pride in what he does. He is a very good mechanic and I would highly recommend him.

I Have taken multiple vehicles of mine to Sam and they are always done in a timely manner. I even noticed dealers send their cars come to Sam. You will always have my business! Thank you!

The check engine light was on with 3 different engine codes on my Toyota Sienna - MAF and 2 Oxygen sensors. I took it to two other mechanics, before I took it to Sams auto. They both replaced the part but the light still wasnt going away. One mechanic said, take it to the dealer as it might be wiring issues, but couldnt really give an exact diagnosis. The other said it could be a wiring or computer board issue and said he can fix it, but it will cost up to $1,300. I then went to SAMs auto and he found out that the real issue was a fuse, not wiring issues or anything to do with the computer board. He fixed it for a much more reasonable price, replacing the fuse and the oxygen sensors and MAF. At last, the check engine light went away and my van runs like a charm. He was my savior, saving me hundreds of dollars and knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. I would definitely recommend him.

Sam is timely, reasonably priced, and very knowledgeable. He’s very experienced with German cars As well, which is hard to fine in this area

Sam was prompt, professional, and fair. Prices were more than fair, and he went the extra mile to make sure my car got taken care of. Can’t say enough good things about this shop.

Recently took my Tiguan here for a misfire issue, had everything taken care of the same day. Honest, fair, excellent service, I will be back for any other repairs I need in the future.

If you have an import, this is where you take it for service. Excellent shop with excellent customer service. So much cheaper than the dealer too.

Sam”s Import Auto Repair is my go to place for all of my maintenance and repairs. They get my car in and looked at fairly quickly. They let me know and show me the problem before they do any work. When I give them the go ahead; they do a great job and their prices are very fair.

Sam is a great mechanic. He knows what is he doing. Have his as my mechanic since four years, no hazzle or questions on his skill set. Very reasonably priced too for the work and advice he gives.

Sam is very reasonable on his pricing and honest on the repair issues. Had my BMW X3 that went dead in my garage. He came down to my place and did a diagnostic check. I had to tow it down to his garage and he did a detail inspection. Needed a major overhaul on the engine and I took it to the dealer as it needed major parts replacement that was partly covered under previous warranty. Sam charged me a minimal inspection fee as a good will. He is very knowledgeable on BMW car issues. Went to his garage based on a customer reference from my workplace.

Sam does all the work on my BMW he is a good mechanic. He explains the problem and recommends solutions. Cost for repair very reasonable and warranty for work and parts are very fair. I would recommend his shop for your auto repairs. I seen Maserati, Mercedes Benz, being worked on at his place of business. Sam is there really deal

I couldnt recommend Sam enough. My single turbo 135i was having a few issues after an engine build and Sam took care of them all in a timely, cost efficient manner. He is extremely knowledgeable and is the only person In the area I trust to work on my car.

Quality parts excellent work

So happy with the service and pricing at Sams. As a woman, I have often not felt comfortable dealing with mechanics but was treated with respect here. Sam takes the time to explain things and I appreciate his honesty. I wish all mechanics were as good, and I hope he stays around for a long time.

Could not be happier. Sam helped me with some long running issue with my land rover. Not only did he work on the existing issues, but he also gave me great advice on things to look out for in the future. Will always contact him for any needs in the future.

My A4 was having issues as I was trying to get to Chicago. Sam fit me in last minute and was able to get everything fixed the same day. Sam was super friendly and helpful. He showed and explained everything he did. Very transparent and honest, highly recommended.

Sam is GREAT guy and an AMAZINGmechanic. I just moved back to Peoria and had great mechanics in California who worked on my BMW & Range Rover and Sam has filled that spot to the highest expectations! Great prices, very informative and the staff is friendly and helpful!!!!!!!!!!

Sam is an honest auto repair person. Thats all I really need to say. Hes worked on my A6 and my Passat. He recently saved me over $2000. The local Audi dealer (you know who) wanted over $2000 for a steering column replacement. Sam found one used for $149. Since my A6 is a 2005 a used column is just fine.He is highly recommended!

I made a new friend at Sams Import Auto Repair. They did major repairs on my M3 in record time and at a cost that was very reasonable. I will definitely be a returnUp front estimate, completed in record time on a Saturday. Great place for great service on a car that is over twenty years old. Amazing knowledge with bimmers.

Sam is the MAN. He always greets me...hello my friend. He takes great care of my Audi. Very knowledgeable, you cant go wrong. Stop by and see him, tell him Jeff sent you. 😀👍

Sam is great and very professional!!! Solved my problem any went above and beyond to help me out!!

I had an AWESOME experience at Sams Import Auto Repair. Sam is not only very competent he also is very down to earth. He will work around your busy schedule and very reasonable.

Took my Boxster to Sams a couple of weeks ago for service and a track inspection. They did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back.

Very dishonest and unethical business experience. I took my car in to Sams import for replacing my alternator, after replacing alternator Sam said that there are heavy oil leaks and quoted $400 but nothing about a known minor coolant leaks. When I returned home the coolant is leaking very rapidly, I thought it is a coincidence and I took it in again, this time they said the coolant expansion tank and I agreed to change it. After an hour I got a call saying that now my radiator is leaking and needs changed and quoted $400 for parts and labor. I asked them not to fix it as it is an old car and the leaks are minor compared to the one we just fixed and I want to observe for sometime. When I returned home I lost all the coolant so this time I suspected Sams job and took my car to my go to mechanic, guess what, my radiator is fine my mechanic said radiator is solid and I can survive it even in todays -40F temperature. My mechanic found a heater coolant hose thats busted and leaking coolant (not sure if it is a coincidence or an intentional problem created by Sams import for generating more business). My mechanic replaced that heater hose for $150 parts and labor and all coolant leaks are stopped. Sam wanted to change my good radiator for $400 and when I refused to change, the heater coolant hose problem sprung out as a surprise. I believe I wouldnt have incurred the expansion tank and heater coolant hose repairs had I waited and gone to my mechanic for alternator replacement in the first place. I would never go to Sams import again, please be aware. I gave a 1 star because it is not letting me post the review without it.

Sam is the man! Gets work done in timely manner, polite and very smart. I wouldn’t recommend anybody else to work on my cars. Thanks Sam!

My son brought a 1996 BMW 318i convertible when he saw the car in a dealership. He loves the car, but as in any car that has been around for over 20 years, many problems came with it. After we moved to Peoria, we found Sam’s Import Auto Repairs on University Ave. We went that and met Sam, who was the most knowledgeable mechanics on BMW I have ever met. He was also a great guy, respectful and easy to talk to. Since then, he has performed several repairs and maintenance on our three BMWs to our utter satisfaction. His charges are significantly lower than the BMW dealers both in Urbana, where we bought the car, as well as in Peoria. More importantly, Sam is a most trustworthy person, and he is honest in his assessment and fair in his charges. I met several of his customers and they all gave him rave reviews of his work and highest regards of his integrity. If you have a German or other import cars, you would not go wrong to check out Sam’s Import Auto Repairs when you have your next mechanic problem.

Sam did an awsome job on repairing my Bimmer. The engine ran very smooth. I did have any follow up visits..

Brought my X5M here multiple times. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable. Pricing is very fair and work is done in a timely manner. Thank you!!!

Sam was extremely helpful with my old Jaguar- highly recommended for those cars you cant take to just any mechanic!

Been taking all of my BMWs here. Sam does amazing work. So much cheaper than the dealership.

Bro. Sam is honest and a trusted import auto mechanic. He has preformed serveral repairs on my Jagaur and did a expert job. His prices are reasonable. Im very pleased to call him my auto mechanic.

I explained my problem he knew what it was n how to fix over phone. Great guy knows what he is talking about

This is a best place if you want to get your car fixed with reasonable prices.

I have gone to Sams for all my car jobs, big or small he does great work and charges a fraction of the stealership. If you have a BMW, Porsche, Audi or any German brand this is the right place to bring your car! Over 15 years experience on these brands.

In the middle of trying to sell my Audi, the driver seat controls stopped working. Im fairly short so this meant that no one could even fit in the car to test drive it so I took it to Kauth & Mayeur to get a quote as they had done a repair for me before when no one else would touch it. They charged me $200 just to determine the problem and wanted another $600 just to fix it with almost 400 of that as the new Audi original part. I then took it to Sams and ended up buying the part on eBay for $80 and he would install if for just over 100 bucks. Coincidently their location on University street worked out and someone saw the for sale sign in the window and I sold it straight off their lot. Great guys and easy to work with. Will be returning with my next car soon!

Amazing service, very excellent work and service had no issue or problems at all, would definitely recommend everyone comes here to get work done in a timely and cost efficient manner. Thanks Sam!

Took my 530xi for regular maintenanceThey always do awsome work with good quality and resonable price.

I have been going to sam for a few years now and Sam has always beaten the competition when it comes to pricing. He always does excellent work and backs it up.

Some of the most incompetent people I have met.

Great service. Honest and prompt service.

GREAT!!!! Sam is a honest caring mechanic which is hard to find in the Peoria area!!! Hmmm.....

Truly the best in towm...

Very helpful.

Great guy, fair

Very very good
