Sam's Steam Auto Detail for car waxing

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…
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.
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!
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.
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!
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…
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…
