Great shop, honest and excellent work. The best and only place in Albuquerque I will take my cars for auto body work. Had a bad rear end accident in December and despite the holidays slowing down shipping, Sam kept things on track, had clear communication about the cost breakdown and timeline. What I appreciated…

Over the years, my 11-year old Toyota Prius sustained a number of parking-lot scrapes and dings, and I was tired of looking at the damage. I took the car to some big-name collision-repair places and was astonished at their estimates. I was about to give up and live with the damage when a friend told me about Sam's.…

I needed the hood and trunk of my car repainted due to peeling. I brought my car to Sam. He did a great job, was friendly, and was very communicative through the whole process. The price for the work was very fair and he got my car in (and finished) way sooner than expected. I felt that he went above and beyond what…

I had an odd dent with all the paint scrapped off on the bottom of the passenger door on my Subaru. It was even starting to rust a little, so I decided I better get it fixed. Sam did a great job matching the paint and fixed the dent to perfection. You would never know the difference! Sam also did a great job answering calls and communicating.

Brought in my Ford Fusion to fix a dent in a door and surrounding body and painting it. Sam spent time explaining the process and the quote. The cost was lower than many other places and he did a great job, looks like new. Very upfront and professional. I'll definitely come back if I ever need to.

I like to seek out smaller, long-established businesses when I can, and Sam is a perfect example of why I do. Sam was friendly, appreciative, FAST, and the work he did on my car is perfect. You can't tell there was ever damage. It wasn't a big job but it was complete in less than 24hrs. I recommend him 100%!
