Sam's Auto Body & Paint
Since 1948
Tradition
Sam's Auto Body Inc. has been family run through 2 generations. Currently run by Mark Iaquinta, son of the late Sam Iaquinta, the family still remains active with the business. I have been working in the business with my dad for over 20 years and now as the new owner I am carrying on the legacy of my father to provide excellent service and superior results. We continue to give our personal commitment to satisfying customers with convenience and quality in restoring your vehicle. We are dedicated to each customer and their vehicle no matter the size or condition.
In The Beginning...
Starting out as a one man show, Sam's Auto Body Inc. transitioned to a full service body shop over time. In the late 90's new bays were added for additional body work including custom paint jobs. Already certified in many areas, we are still growing fast!
...Still Running
We have a proud history of excellent work and customer service. We have remained loyal in serving our community and, in return, have been recognized through the years by our township, state, and local business organizations. Through our success, we have also been able to give back by offering a lifetime guarantee on all of our work.
Samuel Joseph Iaquinta
December 31, 1946 – December 10, 2020
On December 10th 2020 the world lost a great Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother and World Class Fisherman. Samuel J Iaquinta Jr was a man with a big heart, enormous generosity and of course this would not be complete without mention of his never ending humor and ongoing stories about the biggest trout ever caught.
He served his country in the Vietnam War and was fortunate to return home and marry the love of his life Rose Iaquinta. They were married for 52 years and unfortunately after surviving so many hardships throughout his life Sam was lost to this dreadful virus Covid-19. He is survived by his wife Rose Iaquinta, his mother-in-law Ersilia Pate, his three children Lori, Mark, Paul Iaquinta, his daughter-in-law Tamie Iaquinta, his grand-daughter Madison Iaquinta and his three sisters Marianne O'Rourke, Carol Hawthorne and Elaine Richards.
If Sam wasn't tinkering around in his Bodyshop that he started from nothing more than 40 years ago, you could find him at his favorite stream fishing, in the mountains hunting or playing practical jokes on everyone he was close to. He was someone who could make you laugh and would go to the ends of the earth if there was anything he could do not only for his family and friends but even those he hardly knew. His generosity knew no bounds. When there is a return of some sense of normalcy in this world and we are able to properly say goodbye; we will put him to eternal rest over his favorite stream where he can finally catch the biggest trout he's ever seen.
It is with a very heavy heart and sadness beyond words we say goodbye to the most amazing husband, father, and friend. He was truly one of a kind and a great man. He will be forever in our hearts.
You are missed
You are loved
You will forever be remembered
May you rest in peace....until we meet again!
