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…

I recently had my rear bumper repaired and repainted after a hit-and-run, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the work Sam and his team did. The paint damage was noticeable before, but now you’d never know anything ever happened — the finish is flawless and perfectly matched! From start to finish, the experience…

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.…

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%!

I have a Ford Expedition that is an amazing car, that is, until my three teens started to drive. Each of them did damage - front bumper, front fender, and the back corner and bumper. Sam was amazing.

(Excuse the lint from my towel) Finding and trusting someone to paint a black vehicle is not an easy task. Sam far exceeded my expectations. It came out so good, it looks like a mirror. He's extraordinary nice and knowledgeable. I won't trust anyone else to paint or touch-up my vehicles.
