If you didn't take your car to Sampson Transmission to get repaired, did you really get your transmission repaired? I've been going to these guys since 2006 and I have never been let down

None of us are happy when our car breaks down. In fact we are usually angry, displeased and experience all kinds of other negative emotions. How fabulous it was then to have my mood turned around upon entering Sampson Transmission and asking some questions of Roger. It was a breath of fresh air to know he had listened, understood and was willing to explore multiple avenues to find a solution that worked for my car's issues and just as importantly a solution that worked for my personal circumstances.

If I were to describe this business in two words they would be: honesty and integrity.

Thank you Sampson Transmission.

Being able to plan and budget repairs is really important to me. Sampson worked my budget to do the minimum needed to get me back on the road while outlining what still needs to be done in an east to understand manner. I highly recommend them.
10 May 2023 20:29
The staff and mechanics are on point with their amazing service and friendly manner. I highly recommend this business if you want quality repairs.

Sampson transmission has been servicing my vehicles for ten years. Always prompt, conscientious and professional.
23 April 2023 3:22
Great place for recommendations if you have any transmission issue with your car or any issue. All the staff were very (way beyond) helpful and friendly. And suggested me what to do and guide me through all the process.
15 March 2023 9:31

Highly recommend Sampson for auto repairs and transmission I am a retired automotive service technician truck and Coach technician but not physically able to do my own repairs anymore I made an appointment last week to bring it in and when I brought it in Roger made me feel very comfortable leaving it with him willing to go the extra mile for a customer great price the repairs were done very fast and efficiently thank you Roger and staff I'll be back
13 October 2022 13:28
Exceptional customer service. Roger helped save me a significant amount of money on a transmission repair. Would highly recommend him.
04 October 2022 2:06
I’m very impressed with the service and professionalism I received at Sampson. I brought my little Italian car in for a manual transmission change and retrieved it the next day…fixed and right on budget. I was not sold any superfluous additional jobs, just what was required. I recommend Sampson to all who want top rate, honest service. 5 stars
22 September 2022 8:08
The guys at Sampson Transmission are really good folks and I would recommend their honourable services to anyone needing transmission repairs!

If you're revving high and having difficulty switching gears, DO NOT DELAY! GO TO SAMPSON TRANSMISSION RIGHT AWAY!
08 March 2022 12:25
I have used Sampson Transmission for years for both our company vehicles and our personal vehicles. Their work is exceptional quality, they are honest, and they take excellent care of their customers. I would highly recommend them!
05 December 2021 16:25
Kevin and Roger Sampson at Sampson Transmission offer one of the best vehicle service experiences I have ever had. Definitely a 5 star experience.
07 October 2021 5:21
Roger and his team were friendly, professional, and on time, keeping quite within the budget quoted. Fabulous service from start to finish. End result exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

Sorry for the late review as it has been a couple of weeks since we were there but here is our honest review. We had scheduled an appointment to have our rear suspension replaced. When Roger called it seemed way too low considering what we had asked them to do. After discussing some details we realized that they only performed half of what we had asked for. By this time it was 4: 30 and they were closing real soon. My wife and I were frustrated of course but we had to get there in time to settle up and pick up our vehicle so we could go camping the next day. As soon as we got in our car Roger called to say give them another half an hour as they had the parts coming and they would be installed by the time we arrived. Sure enough it was done when we got there and he not only apologized but gave us a very reasonable invoice. His mechanic had agreed to stay after hours to finish the job. THAT IS DEDICATION! Coming from someone who works in the service industry I can tell you that we all make mistakes and it is how we handle those mistakes that makes all the difference. THANK YOU ROGER AND SAMPSON TRANSMISSION! I can honestly say that I would recommend these guys 100%. They will have your back.

These guys were great to me, had what I believed to be a driveline bounce at certain speeds. I explained to them the situation and they instantly offered to go for a test drive, during the test drive the tech was very proffesonal explaining everything that was going on and pinpointed the issue to be tire related. They sent me on my way in the right direction to go after the brand new tires That were installed. They were great explaining everything, very professional and offered this diagnostic free of charge. Would recommend to anyone for driveline or any vehicle issues. If I have any further issues with my vehicles I will return for more great service.
15 August 2021 23:47
Ever since moving close by in 2019, I have been bringing in my Jeep to their shop whenever service is needed. They are always cordial, professional, and take the time to explain the diagnosis and how to fix those problems. They always inform you what is required to get the vehicle moving vs what is optional and not needed right away. I'm so glad to have them around the corner!
27 July 2021 14:05
Roger, Kevin and the team at Sampson Transmission really go 'that much' extra. I recently had brake and steering work performed by these guys, the work was performed in a few hours and Roger contacted my warranty company several times that day, at my request, so that applicable costs were charged to the warranty company. Great job and saved me dollars. Thanks guys.
30 June 2021 14:31
Had a great experience with Sampson's. Couldn't ask for better customer service, very nice, polite and informative. I brought my Escape in for an entire rebuild, it drives better than ever.
Can't thank you enough for the awesome job and the extra work given to get the job done right!
08 June 2021 18:20
It was okay, I didn't know what to expect from them as I had never been there before, they took my car for a quick spin then told me there were four problems but when the guy was explaining them to me I had zero clue what he was talking about, I asked him to write down the four problems so I could take it home with me and research everything myself, I barely know what a transmission does and I know mine needs work. I don't see myself returning to the Upper James location. The guy wrote down a bunch of number codes, what am I supposed to do with that?
01 March 2021 18:33
I have been going there since they opened. I have never had any bad experience with them or the work performed on my vehicles. Honest about what is needed and explained in detail. Very friendly. I have and still recommend them to friends and family.
01 February 2021 14:33
I have been dealing with Sampson Transmission for years. They were recommended for a transmission issue on an older Caravan. I was expecting to hear that I’d need a rebuild, but Kevin properly identified that it was only a bad throttle sensor. That was over 8 years ago, but that impression of knowledge and integrity made me a loyal customer. I own two newer vehicles with warranty. I still prefer to use Roger, Kevin and their team for all maintenance needs.
31 January 2021 21:45
Don't get deceived by "positive bias" reviews from a portion of their customers. As with any other service shops, when you ask for a specific job to get done - they make every effort to sell you services that are not needed or requested. This shop is no exception. I voted one star here to outbalance the bias. This is to remind future customers that you have to be vigilant of the recommended types of services.

I walked away the moment I realized that I am being treated like a fool at this shop.
25 January 2021 7:01
This was my first time at Sampson and definitely NOT my last! I've never had such incredible service from an auto mechanic shop. Roger was super friendly and he's incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks again Sampson Transmission for outstanding service and repair!
24 January 2021 2:37
My experience at Samson's Transmission was great! Roger was super helpful, he made time for me to get my car looked at last minute. He was very friendly and took the time to show me and explain what might be going on with my car. I will be coming back, after a great experience!
Thank you again Roger!
11 January 2021 7:46
Wow! Very friendly and professional service. They took the time to "test drive" my car to properly diagnose the problem. Roger called me to explain that it wasn't my clutch.it was my gear box. He went above and beyond to find me a " new to me" part before checking with me and ordering it! This was my first time here, but it won't be my last! My car is running beautifully and the gears are shifting very smoothly! Thanks guys!
22 April 2020 9:38
Roger and Kevin frequently go out of their way to be thorough and helpful. I always find they take the time to explain any mechanical issues and discuss various solutions.

I drive from Oakville to have my car taken care of at Sampson because they've demonstrated an phenomenal standard of work and customer service.
15 March 2020 20:33
I have a Honda Odyssey and it had a transmission problem. I went to 4 places and they said I had to change the transmission and it cost me about $3000.00. Then I went to (Sampson Transmission) the name of Kevin and Roger they respect the costumers. They found out what the problem was and it cost me $558.27 and I am so happy everyone has a problem go to Sampson Transmission
05 January 2020 22:00
To say small town service in the big city would be not intirely wrong. They did a masterful job on my Pontiac Torrent that only a big city experience with multiple cars can provide. The feeling was very personable and I felt like I've known them for years. Like only a small town company can provide. I will recommended them to anyone because of there honesty and excellent customer service.
03 January 2020 13:17
Great service those guys know there business honest and friendly never go to a dealership again
27 December 2019 17:23
Great service, priorities and actitud were best.
Thank you, very much. God bless Maria Miller
25 December 2019 18:33
I've been coming to see Roger and Kevin for all my automotive needs for years. They are knowledgeable, understanding folks that treat their customers with respect. Recently I had a catastrophic engine failure in my Ford and they helped me explore every option, set by step, so that I could make an informed decision based on trust-able reports from Kevin. Unlike the Ford dealer where I have my car serviced, they will tell you if there is a leak, or there is an issue that could soon be a major problem. Sometimes it may come across as "up selling" but I have trust in the Samson's ability and integrity. I recommend them to everyone who asks, and that does not come lightly from me as they are the only ones.
07 December 2019 15:41
Very fast and professional service. Pleasant and accommodating staff. I would highly recommend their services.

Service at Samson's transmission shop outstanding courteous and very reasonable and pricing quite happy with the work
22 November 2019 13:30
Best shop in town.fair and great customer service.transmission repairs are frustrating but Roger and his team are a great choice if you need to get back on the road. I highly recommend Sampson Transmission
18 November 2019 5:19
Worst experience ever. They failed to fix the problem, failed to supply a replacement transmission of the same or better quality, failed to return the parts they replaced, failed to fix the problem in timely manner, it took two and a half weeks just to have the car back with noisy and acting transmission. It has hard shifting now, something I never had before. Went to the shop for a flashing gear shifter D light, with no mechanical issues at all. It is a Honda vehicle and has only 190 000 km on it. Ended up with a used transmission replacement, unknown donor vehicle and miealage, for a lot of money and it's not even working as it should. Warranty is next to nothing, six months parts only and less than what everyone else is offering. Definitely will not recommend this place to anyone.
15 November 2019 8:02
A smaller shop with a dedicated staff to solve your problems correctly, the first time. Very professional approach to troubleshooting problems and permanently fixing them. Not into unnecessary repairs.
Kevin is a factory trained technician that lets nothing get by him. Sorted out a problem with my F-350 transmission that eluded the dealer for months, even after tearing it down completely. Been a very happy customer for over 10 years. Highly recommend.
24 October 2019 6:26
Low tire sign on my dash, stopped in at Sampson transmission, they filled the tire that was low. At NO CHARGE. I am from out of town, I was SO thankful for the wonderful service.
21 October 2019 19:18
Very professional, they know their stuff.
Price was as quoted and the service was as quick as possible.
Will definitely use them again
02 October 2019 0:48
So friendly like as I sat in the lounge they knew customers by name. 100% think I've found myself a mechanic.
01 October 2019 22:39
There's a reason for the 5 star reviews. Glad I went. Here's another 5 star review. Well done, great work!
20 September 2019 13:11
Great bunch of folks who bent over backwards accommodating me to get my service completed when it was convenient for me at a very reasonable cost.
14 July 2019 8:22

05 July 2019 22:18
Great service. Transmission problems are usually much worse. Roger was very helpful and the bill was a very pleasant surprise.
04 July 2019 7:23
By far the most honest caring family business ever!
As a single parent, it’s difficult to know who and where to go for repairs.
I had the pleasure of being recommend to Sampson’s by my car dealer approx 5 years ago and never have I found anyone so reliable, honest and fair.
Roger, Kevin and staff are an amazing!
BEST AUTO SERVICE EVER!
12 June 2019 9:45

One of the best in the city.
06 May 2019 11:35
Although this time It didn’t work to use these guys the service and advice that Roger offered was above and beyond. I assure you if I have need for a transmission shop in the future I’ll be using Sampson. If you need transmission work, do yourself a favour and call these guys
