Sam's Steam Auto Detail for seat shampooing
Clear ✕All 18 Google reviews tagged “Seat shampooing”
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…
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!
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
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 got a rescue dog who had two major accidents in my car on the way to and from the vet. I called Sam's, and they were able to squeeze me in much more quickly than any of the other auto detailing places I contacted. I thought my entire car was destroyed, but they were able to do a full detailing, along with steam…
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 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!
I am so lucky to have found Andrew and his team. I recently moved to LA and had my car shipped here. During transit, a rodent got into the trunk of my car, leaving pee and other gross details behind. I thought my car was ruined, but Andrew and his team were first, willing to even take my car, and also went above and…
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…
