Give Your Car The Attention It Needs!

Here at Sam’s Auto Body and Paint would love to work on your car, removing all of the dents, dings, paint transfers, deep scratches, and other body and paint damage that may have happened to your car. Today we’d like to take a moment to remind you just how much better you will feel when your car is looking better! It won’t increase the performance of your engine. But driving around with those dents and scratches isn’t always a good idea.

We work with insurance

A lot of dents, dings, scratches, and body damage is covered by insurance. Especially if the damage is caused by an accident or collision. Some damage doesn’t need to be fixed right away, or insurance companies won’t want to work with you to get it fixed, but we work with nearly every insurance company to get you what you need!

How Damage Affects Mood

Some of us see our cars as an extension of ourselves. Some of us consider our cars to be our babies, our pride and joy. We don’t want you to have hurt pride or cringe at the sight of your car because a shoddy auto body shop got their hands on it. We want to repair as much of the damage as humanly possible, providing great quality work at reasonable prices. Seeing your car all beat up or with faded paint is sure to remind you of that fender bender, the time you hit a light pole, or whatever caused the problem. We’d like to help wipe those memories away quickly and efficiently.

How Damage Affects Efficiency

It usually doesn’t affect your car much, but depending on the size and location of a dent or ding, it can cause increased drag, and more severe body damage can lead to internal problems, scraping parts, or other less-than-desirable effects. Faded paint may expose your car to the elements, causing rust and erosion! Proper maintenance of the body of your car is almost as important as keeping the engine running smoothly.

Aesthetic problems

We’ve all seen those cars driving around with bumpers falling off, car doors nearly crushed, and wondered how they’re still driving! We don’t want you to be that driver. And we’d love to do what we can to get you back on the road looking great. We’ve been known to take on projects other companies refuse to work on. And we take cars which would have been sent to the scrap yard and repairing them to great conditions! The real pros can take almost anybody or paint damage and bring the life back into the car!

If you have insurance, get us in touch with your agents to start the repair work today. If your damage is not covered by insurance, let us know and we’ll discuss the cost and your options. Even without insurance, we’re the best around and offer amazing prices.

Auto-Body Painting At It’s finest!

We love painting cars, making them look newer, repairing any discoloration or other paint problems. We also love custom paint jobs which help show the individuality of the driver. In a perfect world, everyone could afford (and would like to have) a custom paint job. Your vehicle is a great way to express yourself, not just a way to get from point A to point B.

Why not help your car-loving friends express their love of their car and their individuality by paying for a custom paint job through Sam’s Auto Body and Paint? We’d love to help your loved ones have the car of their dreams! Paying for some touch-up work on an older car that’s seen better days can boost the morale of your loved ones. Adding some special touches like stripes, hood paintings, decals, and other smaller changes can make it harder to lose a car in the parking lots while adding a little flare. Young people with their first car may want a new paint job to show off their ride to their friends—making an old car look cooler.

Why you should repaint your car

Some of us neglect to get our cars repainted because “what’s the point?” The point is, fresh paint can actually be a good thing to do for your car. Paint does more than make the car look a certain way, the right paint job will also help protect the body of the car. This isn’t to say that a fresh paint job will keep dents from happening, but it can decrease the chance of rust spots and other problems. We’ve all seen faded spots on our cars and the texture changes. When left unchecked, these spots can lead to other damage like corrosion, rust, and more.

Auto body paint job in Phoenix

Start the new year with a fresh coat of paint on your automotive baby, or help someone else get a new paint job. A gift like this will be much more appreciated than another sweater, socks, or a blender. Spend the money to get your car lovers something they really want.

You can also talk to us about restoring the body of older cars, improving bodywork, adding on special parts and pieces (spoilers, body kits, etc) or just do something simple like adding a really awesome decal to your ride to make it yours again.

Factory paint jobs are so boring, so make life exciting again with fresh colors. We can paint match nearly any color, but we can also do colors all throughout the rainbow and everything in between. Ask today about your color and pattern choices and we’ll make sure you leave happy.

Why Taking Your Car To A Auto Body Repair Shop Is A Must After Any Accident!

Collision damages; you didn’t mean to, but it happened. That’s why it’s an accident. Don’t beat yourself up. Accidents occur every day.

Most times it involves a collision of one vehicle with another. What happens in a situation where the collision is caused by you. And the collision damage is done to your vehicle by your vehicle? Tricky, right?

This is the picture: the situation where you hit your vehicle with another one of your own vehicles. That can really suck. At the moment it happens, you have no one to blame but yourself. And you so badly want to fix the damage or it will remain there as a constant reminder of one mistake you made.

At this point, it doesn’t help to get angry with yourself or start looking for the fault. Yeah, searching for the fault helps so that the collision won’t repeat itself.  You learn from your mistakes to avoid doing them again. In the end, though, you still have to fix the collision damage done to your car.

Many times, people don’t think it’s important to fix damage done to the body of a car quickly.

Collision damages may look mild on the outside, but often times they don’t reveal what may have happened to the vehicle’s interior. It might just be a small dent or a scratch, but you never know.

The way vehicles are built nowadays, you can’t expect them to be like the 80’s vehicles we knew. A hard jolt can upset an interior electrical system and lead to a chain of malfunctions.

In other words, you fix one problem today only to have another one tomorrow. Which means more money out of your pockets.

Now, what’s the quick and effective solution to Collision damages?

You don’t have to spend too much money. A stitch in time, they say, saves nine (extra stitches you may have to make later).

How To Take Care Of Auto-Vehicle Dents!

A dent is a distortion on the surface of a vehicle due to an external collision with an object. A professional whose job is to remove a dent from the body of a car is not a dentist. The professional is called an auto body mechanic. Just kidding anyway. Now, let’s have a serious talk about dent removal.

When it comes to dent removal, believe it or not, there is an incredibly easy way to do it and that guarantees that your car will look absolutely amazing once you are done. It might seem a bit forward to people who are used to doing things themselves and especially for those who are always eager to experiment some new things on their vehicle, but this method definitely includes taking the car to an auto body shop.

Other than being seen by a professional, your car has no chance of recovering. We are sorry to tell you this, but no matter how complicated it might seem and no matter how much your ego will be hurting, if your car has been dented as a result of a collision (even if the collision was with a bird or with a shopping cart), you need to take the vehicle to be seen by a professional.

And since we are talking about professionals, you should know that Sam’s Auto Body & Paint has the honor of working with some of the most talented mechanics and auto repair technicians in the area. We pride ourselves in having on board such well – trained experts who are able to fix any type of issue.

In fact, one of our main reasons why our auto body shop is so popular not only in Phoenix but in the surrounding area as well as the fact that our repair technicians are so dedicated and set on fixing any type of problem. There have even been cases where a client managed to get his car fixed with us after he had been turned down by other auto body shops in the area. The bottom line is that our auto repair technicians are unbelievably professional and that they are also innovative and dedicated to doing an amazing job each and every time.

The main reason why the only way to deal with dents is to take the vehicle to an auto body shop is the fact that dent removal usually implies several steps. These steps have the purpose of determining if the vehicle has just suffered that dent or if it has extensive damage and, therefore needs extensive repairs. If the damage that is hidden to the eye is not fixed properly, then the car might end up with serious issues later. It might rust, it might break down or it might run poorly, causing other collisions in traffic.

You should never postpone getting your car checked by a professional, especially when we are talking about the best professional in the field. All you have to do is give us a call or even come with the vehicle at the shop so that our technicians can take a look at it.

Vehicle Paint Matching Done The Right Way!

It’s always funny to see a car with mismatching paint. From a certain perspective, it’ll look like a futuristic attempt at car body paint art. But when you look closely, you see it for what it is: a bad paint job.

Sometimes this happens to a vehicle that has been through a collision. That’s fine, even the best of drivers can find themselves in a collision. But it’s better to leave it where it belongs – in the past. Don’t let your vehicle scream: “I was in a collision!”

Paint Matching

So your car has suffered some superficial damage that needs fixing. No matter if it stood in the way of a rogue shopping cart at the mall, or if you were paying too much attention to your phone and your eyes were not exactly on the road, you can count on us to fix the damage and restore your car to its former glory. In our experience, there are not many auto body shops that find paint matching to be an important thing, but we are here to argue against that.

Paint matching can also be done when the car is not in for a full paint job. These are the cases when only a certain area or certain areas need some touching up. If we would be talking about a full paint job, then paint matching would have actually been useless, because the chances of you noticing the different shade would be slim to none.

However, given the fact that we are only talking about minor scratches in some areas of the car, paint matching is crucial. Otherwise, if the auto body shop you are entrusting your vehicle with, skips this step, you would end up owning a car that is too – shaded. It is obvious that if the new paint is noticeably different from the old one, the work done by the repair technician is also visible. Your car will not be looking as new. Instead, it would look like it has been patched up, and that is not a desirable look at all.

Now, if you want to make sure that your car ends up in the right hands then you should definitely give us a call. Sam’s Auto Body & Shop has years of experience in working with damaged cars and in fixing all types of dents and scratches. We always make sure that our work is of the highest quality. We pride ourselves on always being able to perfectly match any type of paint. In some cases, we even end up contacting the manufacturer. This is how dedicated we are to making your car look like new again.

Don’t let your car live in the past, give a  fresh coat of paint – full body paint job that matches of course. It makes your car look new, like the collision or those rough times never happened at all. With Sam’s Auto Body and Paint, your car will be restored to its shiny glossy state.

What Causes Car Paint To Peel

Cars get us where we want to be. Well, some places we want to be. I mean,  you cannot drive to the Bahamas, except you’re in the Bahamas.

I own a convertible and I absolutely love my baby. I’m sure you love yours too. You wash and wax it faithfully. If there are some scratches on the painted body, you get some touch-up paint to cover it up.

All is good until you notice some peels on the car body, now you’re really concerned. You feel betrayed, you take such good care of your car, why would the paint peel? To under why this happens, you need to know about the different layers that form your car finish.

Layers that Form Your Car Finish

Your car’s finish was formed by different layers of coating:

The Primer

This is also called undercoat. This is the first coating applied to the surface of your car body. It gets the surface ready for further coatings. It protects the surface and ensures that other coatings stick to the surface of the metal.

The Base Coat

This coating is applied after the primer. It is the main paint. It gives the car it’s characteristic color. The base coat could be metallic, pearlescent, or solid paint.

The Clear Coat

This is a transparent and glossy coating. It is the final coating for your car. This coating helps to protect the car from abrasion and UV rays.

Now you know what forms your car finish and how each coating functions to protect the car body. What causes the paint to peel or delaminate?

Why does Delamination occur?

This occurs when a layer of coating or all layers of coating stop adhering to the metal surface of the car. This results in the flaking and eventual peeling of the paint. Some of factors contribute to this problem are:

1. Improper Preparation of the Painted Surface: This usually occurs if the painting was done properly.  It could be as a result of uneven application of one of the coatings. It could also be caused by improper finishing of the metal panel of the car. If any of the aforementioned is the culprit, then after a while the paint may no longer adhere to the surface causing it to peel or delaminate.
2. A Break in Paint Seal: A scratch or peel on the car paint can deteriorate to delamination. This is possible because an exposure caused by a chip or scratch on the coatings may allow moisture to get in thereby causing rust formation. This reduces the adhesive strength of the coatings and gives way to delamination. Under some external influence like high-pressure washing,  a chip may be totally blown off leaving a larger area exposed for delamination to occur.

Can Parts Affected by Delamination be Repaired?

Paint peeling cannot be completely avoided. It’s important you pay attention to observe the paint peels in time for repairs. Some factors will determine the if the damage can be repaired.

It’s important to know how serious the damage is, a light scratch could be repaired with a touch-up paint. But in case of serious peels, the affected area has to be repainted.

The size of the damage should be considered too. If it’s a coin sized damage, it can be easily retouched but if the damage is on different parts of the car body,  it will be best to repaint the whole body of the car.

If your car has unsightly peels it may be best you get it to an expert for repairs. Even if it is a little touch-up or body repainting, an expert is in the position to take care of that. At Sam’s Auto Body and Paint, we have experienced technicians with the right facilities to restore your vehicle’s finish back to appropriate conditions.
