    Located off Western Ave in Gardena. This is all based off my experience with them. I called my insurance company and they use Sam's since it was close to me I decided to go with them. Bert was the guy assigned to my car. He was great did the inspection and called to update me on my car. Along you get text messages on the progress and eta dates and times. I got the text messages and when you follow the link it will open up the progress and show you the cost of parts labor what the insurance pays and what you pay. My overall experience was great with them and Bert was awesome. I would recommend them.

    Fender bender with broken AMG Dynamic Headlight
    Steve W.

    I had two fender bender insurance claims handled by Vic at Sam's Auto land. Vic works at Sam's Auto Land for 35 years, he is amazingly knowledgeable about each parts on Mercedes, and how the electronic system works. He explains how water got in one of my "Dynamic headlight" via broken lens, then it shorts the system to ruin my other headlight. Vic took cared my two cases very professionally with great courteous. Finished job was as good as new. In another incident not related to insurance, he helped me to replace missing splash shields under the chassis with discount price lower than anywhere else I can find. Driving in LA is full of challenges to keep your car from other careless people, one of my door window got deep scratches while parked at a restaurant in Santa Monica, possibly from falling object or someone was moving things too close to my window, I couldn't polish them off, figure I'll have Vic replace the glass. Vic took a look said: "Wait, I'll see what I can do." Amazingly Vic polished 99% of them off with professional compound and some elbow grease, even with stiff AMG suspension my car was rocking while he did that. It's barely visible now. Saving me from getting a new window. Mind you, he did this at his lunch break as a favor, not an invoiced job. Needless to say, I referred more than a few friends to Vic since I'm the "car guy" among my social circle. I give highest recommendation to Vic at Sam's Auto Land.

    Only a single damage to my car.

    I went into Sam's Autoland on Juky 18, 2022 to get my bumper repaired. When I went to pick my cat up thos past Saturday, I noticed the windshield was cracked. Matthew assisted me. He asked me what type of windshield I needed and kept my car so that they coyod repair the windshield. I went back today because on Saturday when I went, I dropped my work badge. While I was there today, I inquired about my car. Matthew turned to Bert to take me to look at my car. Bert immediately said. "We don't Crack windshields here, we didn't do it. He started smiling. Went back to the office laughing. I was so furious that I called the police AND my lawyer. That loby got so quiet when u called my lawyer. Bert told the police they didn't do it. Matthew scary tail then backtracked and said he never told me they would repair the windshield. I asked Bert. "If Matthew never said you would repair it, why didn't he give me the car back Saturday? If Matthew never acknowledged that it was their fault, why didn't he just give me the car back Saturday when the bumper repair was done?" The police officer even caught Bert in a lie. I asked Bert. "Where is the paper from when you walk around the car and check off damages before you start fixing it? You didn't check off the windshield, did you?" He told the officer he didn't. And as you can see by the picture attached, my car had ZERO damages other than the bumper they were fixing. The officer knew he was lying. Then Bert refused to release my car. Said I owed a 500 deductible, when he knew I didn't. Kept laughing. The cop was right there. I was emailing my Statefarm agent the entire time. Told her to call Bert while the officer was there. I told that officer that Bert knows he's lying about it all. My agent called and told Bert there was no deductible. Bert looked defeated when he hung up that phone. My lawyer told me to get the police report, and that we eere suing them. The officer is putting in the report that Bert said I had a deductible when I didn't, and that Bert admitted that my window was not marked off as being damaged when I took my car in. That officer knew that Bert was lying, and I could see it in his face. I don't know if they have ever been sued, but I'm getting them.

    I had 3 authorized places to go to after my accident. The damage on my bumper is not bad but I take care of my car that it definitely pissed me off that I had to get this done. I was hesitant on taking my car here due to reviews but I remembered years ago that I knew someone that took their car here and they did a great job on her car. Bert was the guy that definitely took great care of my car. He was communitive, professional and friendly. I'm extremely happy with their team who worked on my car. I appreciate the updates that they give me as well. They had my car on the time frame that was promised. My car just got sexier with age...haha (2005 Mazda SP3)

    In this picture, the only damage to my car when I took it to them was the bumper damage that they were to repair.

    https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bar/complaints.php Copy and paste this link into your browser to file a complaint against Sam's Autoland. These guys think that they are invisible to justice. They cracked my front windshield while repairing the bumper. One of the guys, Matthew, admitted that they did it. Bert comes in two days later, and said they didn't. Look at the attachment. You know how they look around the car and check off damages before they start fixing your car? Notice my windshield is not checked off. I called the police and my lawyer. I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau, as well as the Bureau of Automotive Repairs. I suggest you all do the same.

    He provided the estimate and status updates through text so I was always aware of what stage of repairs my car was at.

    After my car was vandalized, a friend referred me to Ace's, and I'm so glad they did. My car is a…read more2011 with low miles and has always been in great condition, so I was worried about the repairs. Scott at Ace's immediately put my mind at ease and assured me he would take good care of it. During the disassembly, Scott discovered previous damage that had never been reported and had actually been glued together. Instead of overlooking it, he worked with my insurance company to make sure the car was repaired the right way. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Ace's had me in a rental car the same day I reported the claim, and about a week and a half later my car was ready. I honestly think it looks better than when I bought it. The paint is flawless, the headlights are crystal clear, the alignment is perfect, and the overall finish makes it feel like a brand-new car. I truly appreciate Scott and the entire team at Ace's for their professionalism, excellent communication, and quality workmanship. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs collision repairs.

I took my 1987 Toyota Pickup in to have a Valence and deep scratch painted and the got the color match done perfectly. The also aligned the whole front end back to perfection. They did all of this work in just under 24 hours to boot! They treat everyone like family and you can bet they will fight for you should you choose the insurance route because I've dealt with them for the as well. Bottom line, bring your vehicle here if you want no nonsense, straight to the point quality work.
