Sam's Steam Auto Detail for steam cleaning

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 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!
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!
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.
If I could give these guys 10 stars I would. They are GREAT. I called them a couple months ago for a quote. I did some additional research because it's not the cheapest place, but after reading reviews and calling other detailing businesses, I was finally ready to use them. First, they were extremely accommodating.…
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…
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…
Great price and fast! They even cleaned my headlights! And gave me great advice on some do it myself things I could do. Super helpful, highly recommend!
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.
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…
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.
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!
This place was amazing. I had taken a huge road trip in my land rover discovery 1 in January 2020 that took me from Los Angeles to Banff and back. Being a Cali native for most of my adult life I had never truly known what it was like to drive thru snow storms, flurry's and just flat out dirty, wet, snowy and icy…
