Sammy and his staff are amazing. It is not many places that do everything by hand and put so much care and detail into their work. My Jeep looks amazing. The price was excellent. I won't go anywhere else after finding this gem. See you in a month for my winter wax! read more

I love this place! I am a repeat customer and can say that the wash is high quality and consistent. Sammy's offers a convenient and cost efficient car wash by hand and a deep detail for the best price in Baltimore city! I've shopped around a lot of places and Sammy's price cannot be beat. You should know that this is a first-come-first-served service. read more

Sammy took great care of my car. It was full in the morning but he guaranteed an afternoon spot and took me as soon as I pulled up! Care looks amazing for a basic wash, will be back for a detail service. Thanks Sammy read more

I love Sammy's Car Wash. I have been going since 2017.The work is superb. I like that he uses hard wax and not the spray kind.

Very poor service. Very rude!! DO NOT GO. Not worth it. Car doors not look clean after wash. Many spots missed. read more

Like any car owner, there comes a time where you know you need a car wash. Since I am unable to wash it by myself, I seek out car washes. Sammy's is relatively near me and highly rated, so it's the place I chose. To put it simply, I was never able to get my car washed here. I have visited 3 separate weekdays within their business hours (confirmed via Google + Yelp before even driving over!) and they have been closed. I have come once 30 minutes before their closing time and twice 2+ hours before their closing time. They were closed all 3 times during their listed business hours. I understand changing one's business hours or closing early once, but not updating your business hours online or having any signage displayed of closing early is not okay by any standard. Furthermore, given the appearance of the location and the lack of any signage displaying their business name or hours, I am honestly not even sure this place is open anymore for business. read more

Had a very rough day and was in dire need of car detailing. My car had been sitting idle essentially for about 8 months (parked under a tree) while I traveled. It was looking real bad and dirty af inside. I called Sammy's at around 1030am and was told to bring my car between 1130am - 12pm. Dropped my car off at 12pm and it was ready at 3pm, just like I was quoted. The man who cleaned my car shampooed every cloth surface, the floor mats, and even the trunk! All the dead leaves in the jamb were removed and a few scratches were buffed out. I was able to get a stunning car detail at an exceedingly fair price (imo). Cannot recommend this business highly enough. read more

I had a leak in my my driver seat floorboard and they wet vacuumed it for free. Great service! Some confusion about open hours but otherwise great! read more

They took my very grungy car and made it sparkle. Convenient location to downtown. Only take cash.

I was able to come and get my car serviced same day - and on a Sunday at that! Service was prompt, exceptional, and worth every penny! This is now my go-to car detailer! read more

If you know you know. I've been going to Sammy for years and will continue to. Car feels so clean I don't even want to drive it after they are finished with it. All in all I would recommend. read more

I had been traveling for a few days and my car was dirty inside and out. I had only 24 hours in Baltimore and didn't expect Sammy's would fit me in. So glad they did! They got right on it and did an exceptional job at a fair price. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent job! Friendly management, convenient location, plenty of coffee shops nearby while you wait.

Wow! It was my first time getting my car detailed and so I was very nervous to pay a lot of money for not a great job. I found Sammy's car wash and chose it bc of the great reviews on Yelp. Although it was about $150 (average price in the area) to get my car detailed, washed, and waxes I would spend this again because of how new my car looked afterwards! I called Sammy that day and he was able to fit me in. He was very friendly and answered the questions I had before dropping my car off. The service took around 2 hours. There are multiple coffee shops around the area walking distance with WiFi where you could hang out. When I received my car I couldn't believe it was the same car! I would recommend Sammy to anyone looking for great service. read more

Sammy's Hand Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Sammy's crew really does offer the BEST quality detailing in the area. I tried to get by with the auto wash and hand dry places nearby and they are a subpar substitute. They care about doing a great job. read more

Small lot on Cathedral Street in the Mount Vernon area. Blink and you might miss it. They're the "small guys" in the carwash business, but don't underestimate them. No complaints here. I was very pleased with the work, prices and service. Competitive prices & so much attention to detailing. The shop is close to where I work, so that's a huge bonus. Trust in Jorge to get it done right and on time. This is the second time I've used their services and I won't hesitate to go back. Highly recommended. read more

I love this place. I started coming with my SUV and now bring my car for the full detail service. They do an amazing job inside and out. Scheduling my first wash and wax tomorrow for the weekend. read more

My car was dirty. Hadn't had a good wash in a few months and had some like sticky stuff like sap from a tree on one side. I tried to get it off but couldn't. I Couldn't find any quick car wash places to go to, Decided to come here because of the great reviews and glad I did. Dropped it off and they told me to come back in two hours and it was ready on time. There's stuff around to do while you wait and a little cafe spot right on the corner. I paid about $120 for a full detail and wash. My baby looked brand new again. The man said he had a hard time getting the sticky stuff off but he got it after a few times without ruining my paint. I appreciate that. Highly recommend. read more

super friendly and great detail!! Sammy was super helpful and recommended a wax for my car. The shop was super fast!

I got a shampoo, wash, and vacuum for $100. The service took about 2.5 hours (the guy happened to be alone and was working on another car when I got there too) but it was totally worth the wait! My car was a hot mess when I brought it in and he made it look brand new! Highly recommend and will be coming back in the future. read more

I have gone to a lot of detailers and Sammy is one of the best. He did a very thorough job and got in all the cracks and crevices. Hand washed, claybar, waxed on the exterior. All interior surfaces were detailed. Highly recommend. This is like taking you favorite pair of shoes to an old world cobbler that does it the good and old fashion way read more

I took my car to Sammy's for detailing today. When I tell you the detailing job was.. Excellent! My car looked exactly the way it did when it rolled off the show room floor! Every part of my car looks Fantastic! Sammy's has a customer for life!! read more

This is my first time at Sammy's car wash and I am very impressed. I went to have just the interior cleaned; however, Mr. Sammy said " We are going to clean everything very well and you going to pay the same." He is such an honest and sweet man. I had an enriching conversation with Mr. Sammy while my car was being cleaned. His fatherly advice was a plus. He noticed one side of the front bumper coming off and he was very concerned. He went out of his way to call the local body shop and told the owner that I'm on my way. He I'm so happy with my experience here. There are not that many car wash places you get treated VIP. Thank you George for the meticulous job! Thank you for everything Mr. Sammy! I will definitely be returning again. read more

SHOWROOM QUALITY!! The attention to detail, care, and devotion towards giving you an above standard product was stand out! I also appreciated that Sammy's were upfront and honest about their schedule and when would be the best times to come in. If you are looking for a place to get your car washed and detailed this is the place to come to. I left with the confidence that no one around could have done a better job. read more

Sammy's Hand Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The staff is great, and Sam is simply the best owner. I will definitely be coming to Sam car wash.

Wow.... Going to Sammy's reminds me of just how relative things really are. I mean, to the person who has never had filet mignon, I can't knock you for thinking that ground beef is the bomb. Everything is relative to YOUR personal experiences. And Sammy reminded me of this. Now, for the past few months, I'd been regularly going to Smoke Detail Car Wash to get my ride spiffed out with a hand wash. And I must say, I swore by them! They really did do a great job and they were "budget friendly." But a couple weeks ago, I went by their spot, and it was a ghost town. Apparently they were gone...and so began my search for a new car wash spot. This past weekend, I had to make a quick run to Baltimore and I decided to do a Yelp search to see if there were any spots around worth trying. That's how I came across Sammy's. From where I was, he was about a half hour away, but because of the fantastic reviews, I didn't hesitate to make the drive. So when I got there, I showed Sammy a spot on my car where some idiot had brushed against me last week. Sammy and his crew immediately got on it. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn, when they finally finished my car I was in complete AWE!!! My car looked BETTER than it did when I drove it off of the car lot! I (with my can't shut up self) was SPEECHLESS. They did a phenomenal job on my car. REALLY... I can honestly say that on April 6, 2014, I had the "filet mignon" of car washes. They really did an excellent job. And now when I look back on Smoke's... It's almost as if they were amatures. Not only that, but Sammy took a few minutes to explain how to really care for my car between waxes. He explained a variety of things to me that I was literally clueless about. I left there feeling like I was a better "car owner" because I now had new tips to help keep my car in tip-top condition. I know he's in Baltimore, but I think I found my new "go-to" guy! And YES, they do take a loooooonnng time to do your car, but that is because they clean every centimeter of ever nook and cranny in your car. But if you get tired of waiting, City Cafe is just across the street, so you can stop in and grab a bite to eat and kill some time. Anyway, if you are anywhere REMOTELY close to Baltimore, I'd highly suggest you check Sammy out. It is definitely worth it! P.S. You may want to call ahead of time to find out if there is a wait and if so, how long. ------------------- Prices: $25 In/Out Hand Wash $60 In/Out Hand Wash + Wax ***Both are well worth it!*** read more

Car looks completely brand new. Only 2 hours for complete exterior wash and claybar plus interior wipe down, carpet shampoo, and vacuum. Great value and took pride in their work. Highly recommend read more

I have one of those car seats that stains easily, and all my seats were a tragic mess. The car wash up on Howard doesn't do seats and the guy he suggested i go to in White Marsh the price was outrageous. Then i remembered Elsa having reviewed this place a couple of years ago, so off i went. I booked an appointment for the following week. I dropped my car off , and Sammy said it will take two hours. Two hours on the dot, my interior was cleaned and the seat looked great and fantastic, they even washed my car and cleaned the interior. I couldn't be more pleased with the $75 + tip that i spent. Don't hesitate to go see Sammy's Hand car wash when you need to have those stains, detailing and wash done. PS-They accept cash only, so just an FYI. read more

This was my go-to hand car wash for 3 years while I lived in Baltimore. I'd go twice a year, for the basic wash and wax, and interior clean, to protect against the winter and summers. I can't recommend this service enough. They even removed decals I wanted off as part of the clean. They never damaged my car and always left it spotless in detail. The best part was leaving it at the start of the day to go to work and then having it ready at the end. Yes, it is cash only, 85 for me usually, but it was worth it every time! read more

Another Yelp win :) Super friendly service and boy, was it detailed! As other reviewers mentioned, great prices and TOP service -- $60 for vacuum & wax, $25 for vacuum & wash. My car left super clean and it was clear the guys at Sammy's take care of the cars - all of them looked fabulous. Hands down the best wash I've had in Baltimore and top service. read more

I treated myself and my car to an interior detailing job. George's work was thorough and very good. He got into many hard to reach crevices. I did this spur of the moment when I saw that they were open. Happily, they had a cancellation, and they squeezed me in. I hadn't cleared out my car. They worked around my junk, moving and cleaning anyway. I am also glad that they cleaned out a stubborn stain on my fabric seats. Highly recommend read more

Easily the best car wash in the city!! My car literally looks brand new. I'm only getting my car washed at Sammy's from now on

They are simply the best. The service is great and the quality of work is unmatched. Nothing beats the price. Book your appointment now.

I'm so thankful for you Sammy. My review is for a quick "consulting" experience. I brought in my car to see if anything could be done about some gunk on my windshield. I went through to few different car wash establishments and no one was able remove this crap. I finally took my car down to Sammy and he was very informative and helpful. Turns out this gunk was acid that leaked from the pipes in my parking garage ceiling. He said he's seen similar cases with a lot a damage and then pointed out to me the yellowish stains on the body of my car. He told me unfortunately there is no simple fix to the damage to the body of the car, but at least I didn't have a brand new Range Rover like the guy that came in before me. With some good spray and a lot of heavy scraping his guy was at least able to get the gunk off my windshield. I am extremely appreciative of Sammy's help and insight. Without this information, I would probably still be parking in spots under pipes and wondering what the hell is going on. read more

My usual guy has been MIA and I needed a detail bad. My car had bird poop, bugs, and all kind of other pollutants on it. I called Sammy and he told me get there by 4. I made it there and I was next up. George detailed my car and brought it back to life. They do an excellent job, great price and friendly service. I definitely will be goin' there from now on. read more

Amazing quality and attention to detail... car looked like it just pulled off the lot!

Sammy, and Jorge who worked on my car... All I can say.. AMAZING. I had acid spots which had fallen onto my car from my parking garage.. several light scratches all over... These guys took their time.. My car looks brand new. $150 for detailing, waxing, and inside shampooing... $100 cheaper than nearly all competitors in the City.. and worth far more. God Bless these Guys.. Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful Work! read more

Disgustingly rude, I'm never going back. Called to ask if there was availability for a car wash, they said they don't take appointments for outside car washes and to bring the car and they would get to when they had time. Brought my car to Sammys that day and they said they had no availability and they would have never have told me to bring my car today, so they lied to me. Terrible customer service to not say they were fully booked, they wasted my time. They are only interested in expensive car washes which require appointments. I've also had attitude from them in the past when I was asked to pay cash only and I wanted change. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I nearly cried and had to give him a hug when I saw my car after he was finished. (Only took a little over two hours- when I've waited four hours for other places and then my car looked like I should have taken it to a gas station and vacuumed it out myself) NOT sammy's though. I would wait all day for this result and professional cleaning. The most amazing car detailing experience I've ever had! I've had my car for two years and take good care and vacuum myself about every other week. But I smoke occasionally, have had a dog in the car, go to the beach and river often. So it gets dirty no matter what. Sammy's cleaned all the cracks and crevasses and my car looks brand new. The exterior wax and wash or whatever the heck he does- my car literally FEELS LIKE A BABY'S BUTT on the outside. It's so flippin smooth and clean! I have high standards when it comes to cleanliness, and Sammy's is at the top. I'm extremely happy and would recommend everyone who wants to take care of their vehicles, desires good and friendly service to go to Sammy's! read more

Great shop with a lot of attention to detail. Hadn't washed my car in a while- they washed it three times, used a clay bar to remove smudges and waxed it twice- looks like brand new. Great business read more
