I just bought my 3rd helmet from 425 Motorsports, and couldn't be happier with the selection to choose from and the service I received. I read more

Organized interior with nice sections for car harnesses, steering wheels, racing suits, and socks, gloves, shoes--everrrything, with seats being the highlights. It was nice to test the seats out and have a knowledgeable salesperson on the floor. Would come here again for any of my racing needs (if I ever race hahaha) read more

I bought a pair of Planted seat brackets and an FIA motorsports-approved racing helmet from 425. Firstly, they were incredibly helpful with my seat brackets, helping me to clearance them the small amount they needed to fit my car properly. It was also nice being local to be able to pick up my brackets in person at their facility rather than having them shipped just up the road to me. As for the helmet, Dan took time to educate me on proper helmet fitment and worked with me to find the helmet with the best fit and features for me. As a long-time wearer of glasses, it was a big deal that I be able to wear them comfortably while wearing the helmet. The HJC H70 fit the bill perfectly. read more

I have been working with Dan at 425 Motorsports for over five years now and have had a great experience. The thing I love about 425 is that they actually have a store front where you can try on race suits, shoes, gloves, helmets, and racing seats. In an age of online only retailers its great to have a place to go try race equipment out and get advice from people who have experience with it. I also love that 425 Motorsports sponsors local tracks and race events such as Evergreen drift and autox. Keep up the great work Dan and team! read more

I drove 18 hours from LA to get a recaro seat installed in my Subaru. 425 Motorsports not only fabricated the seat brackets, but also had a great selection of seats to choose from. I highly recommend! read more

I am extremely disappointed in the planted seat brackets I bought for my sn95 mustang. for the price the brackets should be perfect I spent 400 dollars for two brackets. Neither fit good, the drivers side is crooked, the bracket it self is taller on the outside tabs and the passenger side won't fit because of how off the holes are in the back. These have no reason to be 200 dollars a piece. They fit like some eBay 5 dollar parts. Not only that my friend just bought a drivers side Miata bracket and it won't fit as well. I would not recommend planted seat brackets to anyone. read more

Contacted these guys over two weeks ago to get an item supposedly only they have in the Seattle area. The guy on the phone was very nice and seemed willing to help. Said he would finish up with a customer and get back to me. Didn't hear back from him that day or the next. Called them back and was told again that they are too busy to help me at the moment and would get back to me. AGAIN I never heard back. I reached out for the third time and this time they did actually get more info from me to help me get the item I needed. I gave them all the info they requested and felt somewhat confident that this time someone would actually call me back. Nope, never heard from them again. Ended up having to order the part from an out of state company. I always strive to support local businesses but companies with poor customer service like this make it hard to do so. read more

I like their no bullsh*t attitude of identifying what us younger and dumber (26 years old) enthusiasts THINK we should purchase and EDUCATE us on where our money is better spent. Needed a steering wheel hub for an outdated attic-find sparco wheel to drop in my silly e36. The employee who does pro-am drifting (can't remember your name I'm really sorry and best of luck on this FD weekend) not only justified the more expensive hub than I expected - he brought out visual examples of the cheaper route, explained why they were inexpensive and the negative drawbacks to the easier and cheaper route. Businesses that employ actively involved and experienced people succeed. It's that simple. read more

425 Motorsports - An audi fastback. Worth a 2 star review. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Purschased two racing seats about a month ago. I was kindly serviced by Dan but final payment process was a nightmare. Due to certain reason, my paypal would not allow me send the required amount so decided to go with wire. The wire transfer went through perfectly on my side and later I was confirmed by my bank the payment successfully credited to 425 Motorsport account and under their control on second day but I was informed by Dan several times that they did not see it in almost the following 2 weeks time. And what I was told by Dan after was ridiculous that they no longer work with the bank which the wire transfer infor he gave me and even more ridiculous is that since he told me the mistake he made, I have not received an apology even a SORRY and he asked me to get contact with the US bank to sort it out. Later even my bank started a trace got no response from his bank. Now my money literally is stuck somewhere in the states read more

My car isn't nearly as extravagant as I'm sure a lot of other cars they service are, but that seemed quite irrelevant to the quality of the workmanship performed to my vehicle. Not only did they treat the little Nissan like a Lamborghini, they were very kind and helpful to keep me updated daily on the progress. The price was amazing for the quality of work done. Bottom line, if you want your car to be worked on by trustworthy and kind mechanics, take your car to 425 Motorsports. Thanks Dan & Ian. You guys RULE! read more

Well, the time has finally come for me that I am now beginning my racing career, and knowing 425 Motorsports from Evergreen Drift made it easy for me to decide where to go to get suited up. In a sea of online discounters, it's nice to get a personal touch at a retail store. It really makes all the difference and when your safety is on the line you don't want to second guess your gear. I was assisted by Andrew, who I must say is very knowledgable about safety gear and how it should fit. He walked me step by step through helmets, suits, and shoes to determine the exact fit I was looking for. Their store is also very clean and organized, and you can clearly see that Dan Reiss knows how to operate his business at a very professional level. He takes care of his clients. So when you're considering where to go for the best race protection, seats, brackets, or anything else you need to complete your race car or high performance street car be sure to stop in at 425 Motorsports or visit them online at www.425motorsports.com . read more

I was looking at a seat for my car, and got wrong information from Dan, the owner/manager. My feeling is they don't want any hassle with small ticket items. If I would have listened to him, I wouldn't have got what I wanted. I ended up researching and purchasing online, because I (rightly) couldn't trust their advice. Do your research before going there, and only go there for racing applications. I've talked to others that had the same experience as me, as well as people who have had great experiences there. It seems hit or miss. read more

Had a unpleasant experience with 425 Motorsport 3 years ago. Where I came in to do a front bumper install and paint job for my hard top convertible BMW M3. The person that they out source to do the job did not deliver as promise and did a poor quality job. I had to keep coming back each week for a about 2 month to finnaly get my car back. When they finished painting the hard top we found swirls and different areas where it wasn't sanded properly and unpolished. I also had my front hood and side fenders painted which came out looking good, but on the other hand i had major problem with my front bumper. Dan who was working with me through all of this found lots of spider cracks on the bumper. They had problems installing the fit and it was repainted several time. It was upsetting after waiting this long to not get it correct. I also found out later the person who did the work took my fog lights that were originally installed on my stock bumper. Perhaps they thought i didn't want them. I did got them back. Dan tried to be accomidating as he could and nicely offered to drop off my car in Seattle. In the end he left me to play phone tag with his painter/installer to get it fix, which dodges my calls. I was frustrated that I just gave up and if I they will screw up something else or take somethjng without my permission. Fast forward as of now my bumper is peeling off in the exact same spot we knew it would. I hope you guys have a better experience then I did. Avoid all custom work and paint work. read more

Ended up paying $225 to mount new snow tires on a set of brand new 18" BBS wheels believing the work would be superior to the $80 local tire shop to mount and balance. Deeply disappointed that their tire equipment is no better, resulting in their tire clamps causing damage to the inner rims. I learned the hard way - they DO NOT have the high end "touchless tire mounting system". read more

I went in here a couple months ago interested in purchasing an aftermarket seat for my car. They have a really nice showroom with many seats (as well as car parts) on display. No qualms in letting the customers sit in the seats to get a feel for them before purchasing. In the end, I decided that I wanted to purchase a Bride Zeta III seat, after much speculation on my part. Customer service was top notch. I was given constant updates on my order, and Ian even followed up with me about the airbag light problem I was having after swapping the seat in. Now I rep their vinyl decal on my rear window, and their front license plate frame to let people know what's up! Thanks 425! read more

Great selection, wonderful staff and amazing service. I have purchased everything from art for my home, gifts for my wife and friends, to tons of racing equipment and parts. 425 Motorsports has helped me rebuild my racecar in record time, supplied me with the gear I need and listen to what I want/need. If you need anything from clothing to complete race cars and everything in between, go see 425 Motorsports! read more

We drove from Arizona for the National Oregon Trail Rally, and stopped by Dirtfish for some track time. We realized our co-drivers race suit was missing late Friday night. By Saturday morning we located 425 Motorsports and within an hour had a race suit in the right size. We were so impressed with their professional quality service that we went ahead and purchased some other items that we would have purchased back in AZ. Our driver Hawk Miller and co-driver Musafa Samli are very appreciative for the amazing service you provided our team. Thanks guys! read more

The guys at 425 are extremely professional and easy to get along with. They have an excellent product selection and expertise that will get you out on the track! read more

Nothing but problems! We all know the reputation that car repair people have. When you find a good one, you hold onto that guy forever. But then there are the other one's, the incompetents who shouldn't be allowed to work on a tricycle let alone an automobile. 425 Motorsports is one of those incompetent shops, they may look nice on paper but their customer service is atrocious and their tech shop does horrible work. If you go on their website they sound good, but they don't walk the talk by a long shot.Long story short, I took my CTS-V in for a simple install of headers and full exhaust. I went to 425 Motorsports in the first place knowing what I was looking, all they had to do was order the parts and do the install. After a month, that's right, an entire month, the car ran horribly and the check engine light would not go out. They bought more parts to fix that problem, to no avail. Then I had them check the engine for additional after market parts as I bought the car used and the previous owner had already done work. I was told by their tech shop that only the air intake had been replaced which anyone with eyes could see. It wasn't until I took it to another shop that I found out that the car had an air intake, supercharger pulley, 160 degree thermostat, air filter and tune. It was this information that made the new shop figure out and solve the problem right away. In the end, 425 Motorsports ordered and installed the wrong parts, not to mention additional parts ordered to fix a problem they created. After the fact, I got in contact with 425 Motorsports to give them the opportunity to make it right and reimburse me for the additional labor I had to pay to fix their work. Not only did they not take ownership of their mistakes but when given the chance they once again left me hanging. I talked to the owner of 425 on a Monday and we agreed that they would put together either a statement or offer to try to make it right and get back to me at the end of the week. Not only did I not receive an offer or any other attempt at satisfying me, I didn't even hear back from them. In summary, they had my car for a month; they installed the wrong parts and ordered more parts to try and solve the problem they created, the car still did not run properly when I picked it up; I went to another place and in two days they fixed everything the way it was originally intended and 425 Motorsports basically told me, "tough luck,pal". Take your car anywhere but here! read more

I made an appointment a week ahead of time to have several items worked on, on my Subaru WRX STI. I left the car for 11 days. They only completed around half of the items that I asked to be fixed. Time without a car is hard to deal with and I thought 11 days would be enough. Apparently not. I had 3 wheels worked on to get rid of a bit of wheel rash. Luckily I checked the pressure in the tires after picking it up because all 3 were filled up to 50 psi, way over the 32 pis recommended. If I hadn't checked it would of made quick wear of the tires that I have. Dan, you present such a superior product but don't live up to it. Unfortunately I will not be returning and can't recommend your shop to friends and family. read more

I have had 425 do 2 jobs for me, both of them being tire installs. The first one (two tires removed, and new tires put on) went well. Only a few scratches in the powder coat. I would've been more frustrated with this if my wheels were really nice, but they are just track steelies. My second experience (about 3 weeks ago) was much worse. I was having them put 2 new tires on, and swap the front tires for a more even wear pattern. After a few delays, I finally got them back, well, three of them. One was totally flat when I picked them up. I took the flat one home anyway to see if it would hold air, and it didn't. The valve stem seal had somehow been torn. I took it back to them and they replaced the seal, no problem. Their customer service was great, the only thing that bugged me was how long it took for me to get my wheels back. What finally pushed me to write this review is that another one of my tires is now leaking from the bead. Only reason I'm giving two stars is for the customer service. The actual work is pretty terrible. I fear for anyone with expensive aluminum wheels, between the machine scratching the inside of the wheel, and it tearing the tire bead. Definitely not going to 425 for my alignment. Wouldn't trust them under my car now. read more

Just had my first experience with these guys and WOW they are a good bunch. Its nice when someone from an automotive shop calls on their day off to follow up after a purchase. These guys are a smaller shop built on reputation and it definitely shows. Ian, you are a CHAMP and Im very grateful for your assistance. I will definitely be back! read more

Pretty awesome that we have a real motorsports store here in the PNW. I had a minor issue with a part I got from them and they fixed it on the spot as soon as I showed them the issue. read more

I went to 425 on the word of a friend saying that "if you want it done right go to them." he was absolutely right. I went to them for a fog light kit installed on my 09 Nissan Versa and they installed it in 3.5 hours. The day after I had the kit installed the switch came out of place and Ian who helped me through the whole process went straight out to my car when I came back on a raining Saturday morning and immediately started to fix the switch. I highly recommend these guys. I will for sure come back to have more work done on my car and future cars. read more

The crew at 425 are the best !! When I was looking for safety gear for my kids (ages 8 and 12) Quarter Midget racing we gave them a call. Dan and Jeff worked with us to find out what we needed, and what they had that would work. The customer service and passion for all motor sports was incredible. The store is well stocked and the whole group took the time to ask the kids all about their racing which was really cool. Would recommend them to anyone looking for great Customer Service that goes above and beyond. read more

Working with the crew at 425 has always been a great experience; racing seat, gloves, shoes, helmet. I was able to take my time and sit in several seats over a couple of weeks to make sure it was the right fit for me. Which means they have plenty of different racing seats to select from. The custom fab guys are top notch. I've had some welding done on thin aluminum and the welds were perfect. He also replace some brackets on a custom rear diffuser and installing it; the brackets were in the correct spot, unbelievable. Looking forward to having them install a 6 point roll cage, it takes time, but so worth it. The attention to detail is superior and with very tight tolerances to the interior. read more

I've been working with Dan for several years now (before he opened up 425) and I've always been impressed with his professionalism and honesty. He and his crew at 425 really know their cars and never try and oversell anything. 425 has helped me with projects ranging from welding in a custom roll cage in my track car to simply a new set of wheels for my SUV. In all cases I've been very satisfied with their work. When it came time for major surgery on my track car, Dan worked with me for months during my decision process and in the end, recommended a route that meant no additional business for him but was the best choice given my goals for the car. No other shop I've ever dealt with would have done that! There may be some bigger and more established shops in the area, but as far as the people go, Dan and his team definitely stand above the rest, and their passion for cars shows. I'll be going to his shop for years to come. read more
