I can not thank these guys enough. I took my 1973 VW Thing, a car I don't trust with anyone, and they knocked it out of the park. Last month's rain caused my building's garage ceiling to leak on my car's leather top, window, and hood, leaving a nasty water/calcium stain. I thought the paint was ruined, but these…
I had a fantastic experience with Andrew's services, which included ceramic coating and window tinting. He consistently delivered outstanding customer service and ensured my complete satisfaction. After my initial visit for ceramic coating, I returned for window tinting, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I…
I was looking for a high quality interior detailing. I browsed a lot of local shops and read a lot of reviews to find a spot. I saw Sam's and I was honestly surprised by the number of purely positive reviews. Its pretty rare in this business and I am happy to say I trusted these other great reviews and decided to…
Their work lives up to my standard of perfection. I opted for full interior/exterior/engine bay detailing for my older luxury vehicle. Their attention to detail and service ethic will find me a returning customer.
I had a great experience getting my car detailed at Sam’s. They did an extremely thorough job and brought my car back to showroom quality condition. I will be coming back!
This is a great place to go! Very reasonable prices, very good service that was fast and professional and informative. They really did a great job removing the corrosion from my roof and doing a paint correction. I was extremely pleased! I will definitely return!
There is a pipe above where I park my car, and it leaked rusty water and left deep water stains everywhere. I thought my car was ruined, but they were able to get the stains out and polished the paint. My car looks brand new again! Great work Thank you.
I took my new Raptor off roading. It was fun! But dirt and mud made it look ten years old. Andro and his crew turned it back into a new truck. Amazing detail work and very satisfied. Truly impressive and great to deal with. Highly recommend. I was particularly impressed with the steam cleaned engine and undercarriage.
Absolutely recommend this place. Professional and honest!
Wonderful service! Sam Steam Auto Detailing did a very professional job detailing my Mercedes and it looks fantastic. They are amazing! I would definitely recommend to family and friends!
My car was not looking its best when I took it in to Sam’s Steam, but it came out looking like new! I’m so happy with the result. Not a stain in sight, they were so thorough and careful. I paid less than what they originally quoted me with (299 for interior detailing with pet hair and stain removal, paid 275). Very pleased and will be coming back again!
Sam's Steam Auto Detailing is amazing! I had them do a ceramic coating on my new car and it looks better than the day I picked it up from the dealership. I also had them do a paint correction on my vintage car, the paint was in very rough condition, and it looks a million times better than before. They are miracle…
Really and honestly the best. They do a great job cleaning the car, but more than that they go above and beyond. They've consistently been transparent with me about what they can and can't do, but don't cut any corners when they get down to it. They also make me feel very comfortable leaving my car with them, I…
Andro was very clear and attentive when we talked over the phone. I’ve never had a detailing service done before and all I needed was for the stains on my front seats to be removed but he made me feel super comfortable. And Fady took care of my little Fiat and was kind to answer any question I had. I’m so happy with the work, it defiantly made my day.
My car was an absolute disaster after working as a dog walker. They made my car look almost new again! They did a great job and would recommend going here
I had my brand new car car ceramic coated by Sam's steam. Best choice I made! The attention to detail was amazing. My interactions with the team made clear I was working with passionate professionals with an exacting eye for details. My new car was in good hands for the duration they needed it and they…
Sam’s is worth every penny! Took our truck to get detailed and it looked brand new when we picked it up; but every inch, corner, button is perfection. The team takes such great care and talked through different prices and packages with me. I will definitely be back- give them your business, they deserve it.
They detailed our car top to bottom in preparation for us shipping it to Hawaii. They did an amazing job. The car looked better than when it was new. You couldn’t see the glass, we had to keep checking the windows to make sure they were up. The interior was spotless, they got every dog hair out ( and there were…
Absolutely amazing place. Andrew and the rest of his team were super kind, helpful, and did an amazing job with my car.
I got the complete detail package since my car was pretty dirty inside and out. Now it looks brand new! It’s super shiny and sparkling and the inside is super clean as well (also smells nice as a bonus). The folks here were really nice and helpful, I’ll definitely be back in the future!
