Awesome variety of Items. But not too friendly or helpful! Went in with my wife and two boys to buy…read moresome new rods for the kids' baits, etc. Thought since there were other parents and kids there it would be a good, friendly time.... Nope! Unless you're a usual customer, they don't have time to talk to you or help find the right product. We were spending quite a bit of money. It felt like I was wasting the owner's time, he didn't want to talk to us until he saw that we put everything back and were leaving empty-handed! The boys were bummed, and it left a bad impression. Instead of building a future with new fishermen, they'd rather buy online and cut out the real-life connection! Anywhere friendly and knowledgeable that's close by please let me know?

I chose this company based on its previously strong reputation -- unfortunately, what I experienced…read morewas a complete breakdown in communication, accountability, & basic customer service. I recently purchased a 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport & contacted Rack Attack to purchase & install a BakFlip tonneau cover. I was initially assisted by "Steve" at the Santa Monica location. When I called back the next day to move forward with a ~$2K & change purchase, I learned he was suddenly on medical leave -- with no transition or handoff. From there, the experience unraveled quickly. I was transferred to another manager who came to "help them out" from the Orange County location, who was helpful & knowledgeable. He upsold me (successfully) to a higher-end tonneau cover compatible with future rack bars & added fog lights. I made a $1,000 payment based on his assurance that he would confirm product availability & timing for installation before my upcoming trip. He never called back. The following day, I had to chase down updates myself & reached another employee, "Don," who seemed completely unaware of my prior conversations & told me Aaron was no longer available -- contradicting what I had just been told. Again, no follow-up came. By Thursday -- now, 2 days before my trip -- I contacted yet another staff member who confirmed: The tonneau cover had arrived The additional products had not & they could not accommodate installation within the timeframe I had been originally promised At that point, it became clear this was not a one-off miscommunication but a systemic issue. Most concerning, one employee candidly admitted: "I've been here a month, & everything has been a complete mess." That statement alone explains a lot. This experience reflects not only a failure to deliver on a sale, but a lack of internal structure, communication, & support for both customers & employees. No customer spending this level of money should have to manage their own order across multiple disconnected staff members. Rack Attack -- if you are positioning yourselves as a premium outfitter & a key partner for brands like BakFlip / RealTruck, this level of disorganization directly undermines that claim. At this point, I am simply looking for accountability, clear communication, & a resolution that matches the expectations set at the time of purchase. I would welcome a direct response from management regarding how this situation will be resolved -- & how similar customers can expect to be treated moving forward. Should this be resolved appropriately, I would be open to updating this review to reflect that outcome.

While they had to subcontract out the fuel tank fabrication, which took a while (not their fault, I don't think), once they had the new tank, they very promptly installed it -- like the next day -- and got the boat back up and running. And I was truly impressed with how thorough and neat their work was. To remove the fuel tank required going through the aft cabin, removing the aft bulkhead, and lifting the tank out of the boat from down below. It was a big job. Once they installed the new tank, they very carefully reinstalled all the panels etc. that had been removed. They were very neat and tidy all the way through. Rodrigo and Manny were extremely courteous to deal with. Keep in mind these guys aren't cheap - in my view, they charge fair rates and give good value for those rates. Will gladly use them again.

They said they .did, so I took the drive to this store that is over forty miles from my house, which took me more than a hour and fifteen minutes to get there, just find out they didn't have what I asked for on the phone. Needless to say, I was very upset and disappointed. Due to this experience, I will never come back to the shop again even if they have what I need or am looking for.

I met Dean and I believe the other person was Jeff, I might be wrong but... these guys were the most nicest people you could ever meet. Dean welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family. You just couldn't beat the vibe in there as well as the customer service I wish other shops can take note of this, beginner or advanced angler, it should not matter how you are treated. It's like a no ego zone. I can't wait for this shop to bloom and flourish. Me and a buddy are visiting so cal for the pcs show, but wanted to stop by here on our way back home to the Bay Area. I'm sure glad we did They carry "Reyes Swimbaits" and it's one of the nicest hand poured plastics you could get your hands on. The color patterns and durability is top tier. I highly recommend them.

Robert was extremely helpful and friendly. After asking me a few questions, he was able to gauge my level of experience and make great suggestions. From the beginning to the end he helped me every step of the way. Robert even went above and beyond by checking the fish report of my upcoming charter. He then suggested what tackle is recommended for the trip. Not your typical gatekeeper tackle shop. The products there are top brands but with reasonable prices. Something for every budget but also high end gear if that's what you're going for. They have cool clothing and often organize fishing events where local anglers are encouraged to compete. I highly recommend LA Fishing Alliance for both beginners and advanced anglers. Real cool spot, up to date, top products, quality service, good vibes.

Well, I was wrong. I placed my over and nothing happened for over a week. I called and spoke with someone in what appeared to be the Philippines, and they gave me a canned template response. I also called a couple of times a week later and again, same response, verbatim. It was that they closed their warehouse without notifying anyone who had placed orders. I guess they just didn't want to work during that 2 week period. I despise dealing with people overseas when they couldn't care less about your concerns. I canceled my order and went with another company. I fear that if one of the Phenix Rods breaks, I will have to deal with this again.
