Sam's Steam Auto Detail for auto interior vacuuming
Clear ✕All 25 Google reviews tagged “Auto interior vacuuming”
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.
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!
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
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!
I have been bringing all my BMWs (E92 M3, E36 M3, E46 330i, and X5) to Andro and his guys for 6 years. They have ceramic coated, detailed, paint corrected, and paint repaired my vehicles. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to touch my cars. The best part is Andro opened another location in Playa Vista. I highly recommend Sam’s Steam Auto Detailing.
Sam's steam is the absolute best! Andro takes the time to explain everything that will be done and the service is absolutely wonderful. This is not a place to get your car washed, this is a place to develop a relationship with someone who will make sure that your car stays looking brand new. Can't recommend them highly enough.
These guys are absolute pros! I run dogs as a side gig which means I have dog hair EVERYWHERE in my car. I was amazed at how they were able to clean out the dog hair completely & have my car looking brand new! So grateful for companies like Sam's Steam auto detail who really take pride in what they do! Thank you!
I highly recommend Sam's auto detailing. I never been to a auto detailing center that was as thorough and as detailed oriented as them. I went to them for a complete detail of my car (interior and exterior) and well as a ceramic coating Pro gold package. I have a 4 year old Audi A-6 that had swirling scratches all…
This is one of those reviews I'm actually excited to write. This is THE place to bring your car if you really, truly care about it. As a car enthusiast, I've been scrambling to find PEOPLE, not just service, but actual people who care about cars and the joy they bring to people like me. I'm happy to report that…
This was my first time using Sam's Steam Auto Detailing. I've been reluctant to trust my new SUV to anyone, but had to take the plunge eventually because it was getting dirty enough to need a good detailing. Andrew helped me set up the appointment, met me at the West LA location, walked me through all the options,…
This place is top quality, much better then at a regular car wash place! My GF and I had the Interior Detail Package and Ozoning done in both of our cars. I haven't seen my interior this clean since I got the car. 5/5 Stars!
Team is very easy to get a hold of and very professional to work with. Did a great job on my car both times I've taken it there, and I will continue to use them to detail my car when it needs it.
Outstanding job on my Jeep, it looks like it just came out of the dealership and is a 2006 jeep so not brand new. The owner is an honest, kind and above all extremely competent person, as well as the rest of the team. Sam's Steam Auto Mobile Detailing is not just a guarantee, it exceeds all expectations! Thanks again guys!
Gosh there is so much good I can say about this place and the guys who work here. Seriously the best detail job I've ever received. I swear my jeep has never been cleaner - when I bought it it was not nearly this clean. Will recommend them to anyone looking for a cleaning. I literally drive here from Downtown for their service. It is so worth it.
I highly recommend Sam's Steam. Andrew was super friendly and helpful, and the guys worked some magic on my 12-year old car. I got interior and exterior detailing and headlight restoration. They really paid attention to detail, leaving my car looking and smelling like new.
I had a great experience with Sam’s Steam Auto Detail! I have an older Camry which my parents graciously gifted me and wanted to get it cleaned as a thank you to them. This place did an amazing job and got out my matcha latte stain in my seat. Everything was immaculately done. I was helped by a friendly guy named…
I had an awesome experience here! The parking lot I dropped my car off at was very easy to access, right off of Santa Monica blvd. The customer service was extremely kind and helpful. They were very thorough in explaining what I was paying for and what they could and couldn’t do for me. Every crack and small spot…
They did a beautiful job on my Land Rover! Totally exceeded expectations. My favorite part was the pride they took in their work! Thanks guys!
I drove 2,300 miles cross country and back. My pearl white SUV exterior was caked in bug guts, baked on by temperatures reaching 119F. It took me 45 minutes just to clean an area the size of a postcard. It would have taken me most of the day and $50 of detailing products to finish the job. Sam's is not cheap but it…
