Sam's Steam Auto Detail for full body wash

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…
Sam's steam auto detail did an excellent job on my full body car wash. I would highly recommend this business for anyone looking for a detailed, efficient and professional car wash.
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.
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!
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…
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…
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!
Picked up my car this afternoon and barely recognized her—what a great experience! These guys go out of their way to deliver great results and listen to what you want done. I will definitely be coming back for other work on my car.
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.
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!
My car was absolutely filthy after having to street park it for months and taking it on some dirt roads in the desert. I knew hand washing it myself was not going to cut it. The team at Sam's left it spotless and looking better than ever. I also appreciated the patient explanation I was given about the various…
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…
