Autotech Motor Service

had my audi clutch/​flywheel replaced… a complex and scary job since my car is a quattro, adding more complexity and time… two days later, the job was done quickly with maximum honestly. warranty on the labor even when i got my own parts, but they wanted to examined the parts before hand, which I thought was reasonable and fair.

I strongly recommend Autotech Motor Services as the place to go for car repair. My girlfriend’s car had a radiator fan go out on her Hyundai. I had the car towed to Autotech Motor Service for repairs. I knew already what most of the issues were with the car and when Sami explained everything that was wrong, I knew he was telling the truth. Sami went beyond what he said he would do. He fixed a crack in the windshield and even cleared out the water jets for the windshield. Sami is the best, plus he has the cleanest shop I have ever seen. A clean shop tells you a lot about the person. Bottom line, It would take too many lines to explain every detail that Sami and his guys performed, but for quality work this is the guy. The pricing is extremely fair and the service is exemplary. You can’t go wrong. And my girlfriend loves the way her car is running now, she is so happy. Thanks Sami

I came in on a Friday afternoon around 4pm with a screeching engine. The doctor knew just how to treat the patient. Sami identified a serpentine belt tensioner pulley that had lost its seal due to wear and tear. This was causing noise since the lubrication had dried out. Sami fit me in even though he was busy and he stayed after closing to finish the job. I couldn’t be happier.

I had the good fortune of having my 2000 Honda Insight towed to Autotech Motor Service. Since then I have taken the car there for regular maintenance and will continue to do so. Sami Haddad and his crew are kind and efficient + the charges are certainly reasonable. I would certainly refer anyone and everyone to use this shop for any automotive needs.

Sami was honest, super response, and proactive. My car would not turn on, and when I tried to charge it I blew the fuse. I called the shop most highly reviewed on Unilocal and was told I would have to wait two days and arrange my own towing. I then called Sami since they were the only shop open early in the morning and he immediately took care of everything. He got me a tow truck, replaced the battery and the fuse within a few hours, and I had my car by noon. He was not only honest and proactive, but very affordable. I highly recommend!

I brought my Audi to Sami with a check engine light. He and his techs diagnosed it and fixed it for a very reasonable price. Turn around time was quick and they were very personable. it was much cheaper than bringing it to the stealership. I am very satisfied and will be bringing my car back for its next repair.

Hands down one of the best auto shops I’ve been too. Sami and his guys are always honest and to the point.
I searched the area for a decent shop and kept getting referred to AutoTech.
I needed a brake job really bad. Sami quoted me a price better then any other shop I went to. He even showed me my old brakes and rotors and let me know what else my car needed.
Not once did he try and sell me anything other then my brakes and he wasn’t pushy at all.
Very happy I found this shop will be bringing my car back for sure.
Thanks Sami!

This place is great, I’m very meticulous about my car and some other «rafa» place balanced my wheels all half-​assed very recently. My car was shaking at the steering wheel around 80mph or so, passenger door rattling.
Autotech had me in and out in 30 minutes, on the way home I didn’t hear a peep from the passenger door. and on the highway the steering wheel is no longer shaking. Every time I have come to Autotech they do a professional job at competitive prices with little to no waiting for service. I highly recommend this place.

I came to Sami to fix my side mirror on my 2011 Chevy Truck. Someone busted my mirror and it cracked and Sami said if I bought the part, he’d install it for me. I didn’t tell him I put super glue on it to try and replace it myself but when he found out, he laughed it off. He said the residue that was left on the side mirror casing made it quite difficult for him when replacing the mirror but he was super cool about it. He didn’t get mad at all. I highly recommend him. Such a real nice guy!

I’ve been taking our cars to Sammi for years, and we have been very satisfied with the quality of the workmanship, and his prices are very fair. In addition, Sammi is a quality guy, very nice, honest, and personable.

This place is great, and Sami is the BEST! I have owned my beloved Acura since the winter of 2008 and took it to the thieving dealership in Burlingame for a couple of years, where a routine oil and filter change would run at least $ 300. Sami and the guys at Autotech are personable and, best of all, FAIR. They know what they’re doing and are so nice, it would be lunacy not to recommend them to everyone. The last routine change I had was $ 56 and Sami was very helpful in telling me what needed to be taken care of and what I am able to wait on. Unlike most auto shops, I leave feeling like I’ve had excellent service for a reasonable charge – not the exploitation of the mechanically ignorant that usually occurs. I wholly recommend Autotech for anyone who is tired of getting raped by the dealerships.

Sammi (the owner) took my Dodge Viper for a Joy Ride, totalled it while commiting a hit and run, commited insurance fraud and then told me to pound sand!
I cannot belive that I have waited this long to write this review. Many years ago I dropped off my Dodge Viper to Sammi’s shop. They had always been a trusted family mechanic for many years and I would drop off my car and just pay whatever they asked. Granted, they were usually more expensive than taking my car to the dealership, I still took all my cars to him for convenience.
One day I took my Viper to him because the rpm’s were stuck at 1200. He said it was a simple problem and to leave my car with him for an hour or so. Well, my car was not ready that day and I was woken up by a call from him the next morning telling me that he totalled my car. What he did not tell me, which I found out during an independant investigation, was that he strapped both his small children into the front seat of my car and crashed it on Amphlet. He failed to mention that the crash was a hit and run. Every single panel of my pristine car was smashed in. He also lied to his insurance company and said that the crash happened one day later because he was in between insurance companies at the time and was uninsured.
The insurance company paid me blue book on the car which, as we all know, is often below the market vaule. I approached Sammi and explained to him that I had recently (as in a few weeks prior) spent a couple thousand dollars on the stereo and to install pop doors on the car. I asked him to pick up that difference for the stereo which I felt was the least he could do after totalling my rare and exotic car. He not only refused to reimburse me, but he said that he would call the police if I returned to his shop.
Long story short, I sued the guy.
Ironically, ever since I stopped going to him, which has been many years, I have not had a single mechanical problem with any of my cars. Whereas before, it seemed as if something was always breaking on all my low mileage vehicles.

Sami has been working on our cars for years. I have over 200k on my car and he keeps it running in tip top shape. He is always very diligent in telling me what it will cost and how long it will take. I feel very confident in his work.
I recently had a flat tire and was in another city. So I had it fixed at a tire repair shop that was new to me. The fellow there told me he had to check my odometer twice to be sure I really had that much mileage on my car. He could not believe how good my engine looked. That’s all because Sami does all the upkeep on our cars. We both have older cars with lots of mileage and they run great. I get 28 MPH on a car with over 200k miles! Because we have Sami tune them up and keep them oiled and so on.
Can’t recommend him enough. Super service!

I have been a client at Autotech for over 7 years. They provide very thorough service and have always done a great job on all of my vehicles. Sami is very friendly and helpful.

Avoid Autotech at all costs! I brought in my car to fix a cooling problem. Sammy, the owner, asked for over 2k for a gasket change and said he would fully back up the work with a 1 yr/​12k warantee. Based on that he convinced me to go forward and repair the car. In a week the engine began to act up again and leak. I brought the car in and his response was «this leak is not my problem» and you need to pay another 1k to get it fixed. I am livid with this guy. He did not back up his work and tried to play it off saying it was someother problem. He became very nasty and did not work with me to get this fixed. The leak clearly was due to his negligent work.
BOTTOMLINE: AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

Sami, Nick, and the rest of the guys are great. They always take good care of my car (for the last 15 years!) I’ve had about six cars, but that’s only b/​c I keep changing my mind. Sami changed my mind one time when I had the Passat Wagon. Now I have the Acura TL and it JAMMS! –both in sound and acceleration!
