Auto Repair in Maryville, TN 

Serving Our Area Since 2012 

Your Trusted Partner for Reliable Vehicle Service  

When Sammy Pena founded Affordable Auto Repair & Tire on July 1, 2012, his mission was simple: treat every customer with the honesty and respect they deserve. After 18 years of working for dealerships and other shops in Maryville, Tennessee, Sammy witnessed firsthand how customers were often misled about unnecessary repairs. That frustration led him to venture out on faith, establishing a shop where transparency and quality workmanship would always come first. What makes Affordable Auto Repair different? Our certified technicians take the time to educate customers about their vehicle’s needs, ensuring you understand both current repairs and future maintenance requirements.

Kind Words From Our Customers

Missy and Sammy are such a joy to talk to and wonderful people. Sammy is hands down, probably one of the most genuine and real dudes out there, and an awesome mechanic! I absolutely will take my car to no one else unless I have no choice. Please support this small, independently owned, local family business!

Sherrie Williams

Very fair pricing! Got the job done same day! In my arrogance, I refuse the diagnostic test because I thought it was the water pump bearing(Turned out to be the alternator) The mechanic did exactly what I asked him to and at an affordable price, Provided quality and efficient work! I couldn’t ask for any better! I learned a valuable lesson as well! Let the professionals do their job and stop trying to do it yourself when you have no knowledge! Thanks Affordable Auto Repair!

Sustainable Optimism

Ok so I don’t know much about cars other than how to make one drive. This place though? 100% upfront. Super friendly. And the guy came out with an itemized list of what was needed for my car. And it was broke down in a way that I could understand. And the best part? Best price I’ve found ever! I was quoted like… nearly 300 for JUST my belts somewhere else. This place? For 100 more did belts (and found out I was missing a belt!), added freon, filter, and ran an AC test! And after talking about

Great experience here with these guys, they were able to find the problem, explain it to me in a way I understood and a get me in for the repair a week or so later. Fortunately it wasn’t dire so I could afford the wait. They are extremely courtesy and are really good communicators. They texted me with updates and the system they use for approving repairs was simple. By the time my appointment rolled around I had another issue come up with car that they were able fix at my appointment. I know e

Just coming off a hike in the Smokies and the car starts making an awful screeching noise. 3 guys stopped by to guess what the problem was. Tow or not tow? One of the guys followed us for a bit guessing it might be a stone picked up from the gravel road. We called Affordable knowing that they were closing soon. They agreed to get us in. Pulled the car into the bay when we got there and found a stone that was causing the noise. Husband wife team. So nice. Didn’t charge. Good people.

Sue Demange

Sam and his wife were so incredibly kind and personable. Checked out my car quickly (called on a Friday and he said to bring it in Monday) and had it repaired quickly (two days after they checked it out). Very reasonable pricing too. I also loved that he brought me out into the service area and SHOWED me what was wrong. I will absolutely take my car there for any future work I need done. I had one small hiccup after leaving, and I called and Sam asked me to bring car back in next day, and he had

Courtney Miga

I had a great experience here! I came in with a flat tire, and they were able to quickly find the hole and patch it up perfectly. The service was fast, efficient, and very professional. I was back on the road in no time. Highly recommend if you need reliable and honest vehicle repair!

Tristin Rayburn

I was able to get a next-day appointment even though I called in the afternoon. I had an idea of what was wrong with my car, they ran a diagnostic to confirm and sent me digital report with a cost estimate. I love that kind of transparency. I confirmed that I was ok for them to complete the repair. They promptly gave me a call to let me know an estimated time of completion. The staff was very friendly. The waiting area is nice. The best part was, I didn’t leave with any lingering questions. Iâ

Yolanda Lujan

This is a family owned business and it shows. I had issues with sensors for my back tires and headlights that keep going out. They spent over an hour on the phone with my warranty company – past their own business hours to get the process resolved. I dropped the vehicle off at 8 am this morning and was contacted 2.5 hours later that it was completed. Extremely happy with the service and kindness and will only use them from here on out!

Nichole Sims

Sammy is a first class guy and what every real mechanic should be. He’s honest, fair, and has incredible integrity. To everyone who reads this review drop what you’re doing and call him today and get your car fixed the right way.

Christopher Crabtree

I had been taken advantage of by other local repair shops and I shared my experience with AAR. Upon repairing my car…they took the time to explain and show me the issue! Trustworthy and reasonable service prices! The customer service is also exceptional!! Thank you so much for good service and restoring my trust in people!

April McQueen

I am very impressed with the quality of service I received from this team. My Jeep had a loud clicking noise in its engine. I stopped by their business and they made me an appointment to have it looked at. Went back for appt and they said they would have to order parts but it was ok to drive local. They called me as soon as parts come in and scheduled work. Took them 3 days for all they did BUT that was ok. I am very pleased to say my jeep is running great and no clicking. Being a single woman y

Dena Tipton

Sammy and his wife provided the most hospitable auto service repair experience ever. We were out of town with a failed transmission and they went out of the way to not only provide the service they made sure we were able to get around while the repairs were being made. 100% recommend!
