I already had the impression that Sam was a patient, upfront and competent mechanic based on the work he'd done on my employers vehicles. I recently bought a car and I had to get it repaired immediately. I had a quote for about $600 from another mechanic in PHX, so expected to pay about that much at Affordable Auto Repair. Instead I payed about half that price in total, including the replacement of desperately needed brake pads. I thought Sam was really accommodating and I learned a couple things about my car in the short time we spoke. Also, he fixed it realllyyy fast. Thanks!
