Your Trusted Foreign Car Repair Specialist in Arlington

At Sam & Joes Foreign Car Repair, we operate on a philosophy centered around trust, honesty, and exceptional customer service. Founded in 1977 by brothers Sam and Joe Masri, our shop was built on a shared passion for foreign automobiles, sparked by our early experiences restoring a Volkswagen Bug. With over 45 years of combined expertise, we set a new standard for reliable foreign car repair in the DFW area. Our commitment to treating customers as we ourselves would wish to be treated has remained unchanged since day one. We invest in advanced diagnostic equipment like ABS, SRS, and ASR systems to ensure precision in every repair. Our team of I-CAR and ASE-certified technicians handles everything from routine maintenance to complex engine overhauls with equal proficiency.

The nearly two-acre facility accommodates over 50 vehicles simultaneously, ensuring timely service for all clients. Located centrally between Dallas and Fort Worth at 2101 Duluth Drive in Pantego, we serve customers from across a 50-mile radius. Our dedication to quality has earned us recognition in the North Texas Automotive Report and repeat business from owners of prestigious makes like Porsche, Jaguar, and Volvo. Every service interaction reflects our core belief that integrity and technical excellence form the foundation of lasting customer relationships.

I am really really bummed out at the pizza from this restaurant. I ordered gluten free and asked for extra cheese and ricotta. They didn't give me extra cheese and if they did this is a joke. With extra cheese you shouldn't see the sauce underneath at all. I asked for ricotta and they barely even left a quarter size dollop. Two of the pieces didn't even have ricotta on it. The pizza was $20 which I don't think it was worth that at all for what I got.

The sauce was probably the blandest sauce I've ever had in my life unfortunately. Pizza sauce should have herbs and flavoring. It just tasted like bland pasta sauce. Pizza was awful but I will say that It did come out fast and the person that gave me my pizza was very nice.

Stopped here on a whim with the kids the other night. This restaurant is so clean, really nice/ attentive staff, food was delicious and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back (looks like there is a great deck with water views in the nicer weather as well!).

Update on how much of a scam this place is, everything they' said they did to my car, was horrible and almost giving out, they use cheap / used parts bc you'll never find out or know, I took it to the dealership along with the invoices and wow, I feel so stupid for wasting so much money think they had my best interest.
