Absolutely phenomenal place to go for any and all your car needs! I was referred to Sam’s for my back bumper after getting rear ended and they did a great job color matching my one of a kind custom paint job. Everyone there is so friendly, kind and understanding. Especially Dan! (He’s the best) They were very quick…

Went in to ask about some minor paint chips on the hood of my car. They matched the color and sold me some touch up paint. They showed me how to apply it and were very helpful and professional.

Sam's Auto Body did an amazing job with my car. I was rear ended, and called the BMW dealership to see who they recommended to do the repair. They referred us to Sam's Auto Body.
