Bottom line, Sam is a talented, honest mechanic, offering great value and transparent pricing! To find out how I came to that conclusion, keep reading...I happened to be in the Warwick,/East Greenwich area when I stopped into Sam's Auto and fuel for gas.� As luck�would have it, Sam the owner was pumping gas that day. Right away, he told me that I should use a lower octane�gas for my SUV. I was surprised, because another mechanic had recommended the higher grade for� my 19 year-old Mercury Mountaineer. That piqued my interest because it would result in a decrease of sales on his part.� He explained the reasoning about lowering the� octane and� also took a cursory look at my vehicle.� Sam said that if I ever wanted to� improve performance/increase longevity to stop by his garage.About a month ago, my SUV started leaking from the bottoms around the sunroof.� But there were other issues: it sounded super loud anytime I went over 30 mi/hr, it was sluggish during acceleration and needed general maintenance� like front brakes and an oil change. I waited until I could leave if for a few days, and then I made an appointment with Sam.First thing Sam� did right is he took his time talking to me in order to really understand EVERYTHING I was trying to accomplish. He let me know that it was going to be a significant repair while assuring me that after he looked at it, he would call back, discuss what needed to be done and give me an estimate.Second thing he did correctly was taking the car for a test drive.� I had been begging my old mechanic to do this but the only thing he ever wanted to do was plug the vehicle into a computer.� After the test drive, Sam told me a few things that would vastly improve the performance of the SUV.� He went over things that were an absolute necessity and things that would be good for overall maintenance.� In the end, everything he said sounded reasonable and made sense.But the best thing he did� was the work itself!!.� When I arrived to pick it up.� He showed me all the old parts that were replaced.� Took me step�by step through the�repairs.� He did not nickel and dime me for a few of the�additional things he did for free. It wasn't cheap but it was a tremendous�value,�totally worth�it!� Especially when he said I could probably get another 50,000 miles out of this vehicle with continued upkeep and maintenance.My Mountaineer is about 50% more quiet now!� It took me a couple of days to get used to how fast it accelerates.� It feels like Sam made the car 7 or 8 years younger. I highly recommend Sam's Fuel and Auto for any person that wants to� extend the life of their car, improve performance and get the biggest bang for the automotive buck!

I had the luck to get my completely flat tire right next to Sam's. I had never been to his place before, but he treated me very kindly. Even though he was due to close up in a few minutes, he took the time to look at my tire. He was going to put my spare on for me, but he found out that my car didn't even have a spare unbeknownst to me. It was a Saturday afternoon, and so I left my car there and he was able to put two new tires on it, do an alignment and an oil change for me and have it ready on Monday. He even offered to give me a ride home. And now he is looking into getting a spare for me to have. Great place!Services: Tires, Wheel alignment, Oil change

Super shady gas station. Went here once for some repair work, owner wanted to charge me $100 so he could diagnose the exhaust leak when I showed him where it was. I refuse to get gas here because of it.

The owner was super friendly. Loves his customers, knows them by name. Pumps your had so you don't have to get out. I didn't have cash to top, but I would've just because of the service.

This is the best in Rhode island when it comes to automotive repair and good ol fashion gas service. Just look at the cars they fix, anything from fords to Bentleys. My truck is a 97 f150 and sam has kept it in great running condition with 200 thousand miles. PROOF IS their pictures, speaks for them selves. Highly recommended.Services: Transmission, Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, Body & Trim, Brakes, BatteryServices: Transmission, Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, Body & Trim, Brakes, Battery

I had a very negative experience with Sam. He is very rude and doesn't belong owning a business.
