Was researching aftermarket wheels, especially Apex Forged Wheels, and came across Auto Talent a retailer in California that sells high performance auto parts! Before Auto Talent I emailed and called several other retailers that also sell the Apex wheels, but none of them returned my call or responded to my emails! When I texted Auto Talent I received a text back within minutes from someone by the name "Golan" come to find out that Golan is the Owner and Founder of Auto Talent! He gave me a price and an additional discount plus Free Shipping! Whenever I had any further question he would reply in a timely manner! I just received my Wheels from Apex and couldn't happier! I highly recommend Auto Talent! read more

Golan provides outstanding communication, keeping you updated on your orders and guiding you through the ordering process with great price points and remarkable accommodation; I'm definitely coming back for more. read more

They had the best price for a part I was looking for so I decided to give them a go. They kept me updated with my order and it arrived as described. Will definitely be using them again. read more

WARNING!. Once they get payment or core deposit, you will never get your refund. You will get the run around for months until you give up or dispute with your credit card company. read more

Took too long for delivery. Ordered 2.5 - 3 weeks ago and supposed to get delivered today. Will determine quality and fitment of product once delivered and able to get eyes on it and complete inspection and installation. read more

Never received the obd2 cable. Emailed customer service with no response. Got tune key pretty quickly though.

I was going to give this place 5 stars based on my past experience here, but it looks like customer service just fell through the roof. In early February, I tried to purchase a Mishimoto package (~$2K) for my M3. I promptly paid and patiently waited for my package to get shipped out. It never shipped. I followed up with customer service (Jacelle and Joyce) multiple times and each time I would get the same response that it would be shipped out soon. They had initially claimed the item was on backorder by the manufacturer, but when I reached out to Mishimoto they said they could ship the items out; in fact, one of my friends received his item shortly after he ordered it from Mishimoto. Weeks passed by and my patience grew thin. Foolishly, I waited until May before I decided to request for a refund. CS told me they canceled my order and I would get refunded. But like my item, I never got it. After multiple follow-ups and even reaching out to the owner, Golan, I still had no resolution. Sadly, I resorted to filing a dispute through my credit card company. I got my refund back promptly after they reviewed my email exchanges showing how badly Autotalent messed up this simple transaction. Had they simply just been upfront and told me they could not fulfill my order and refunded me, I probably wouldn't have written this review. At least they were on notice that this review was incoming. read more

They are scammers. They drop ship parts from other vendors. Don't trust them. They scammed me out of $300 and then was called poor because I reached out multiple times because they never refunded me the money or sent me the right product. read more

Auto Talent - Unprofessional owner. - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardena, California

order processed quickly efficiently and arrived on schedule and in good order. Would order again from this supplier without reservation

Great prices in comparison to the competition. The items I bought were not cheap but fairly priced. Shipping was also extremely fast; I received my items in less than a week. I will definitely purchase from them again. read more

Golan bar Auto Talent was awesome to work with. After looking high and low for a good price on wheels for months, I got the best price with Golan. My wheels shipped very quickly and arrived in excellent condition. Customer service is a dead art but at least one company still believes in it. From everything that I read before my purchase and experience during and after it, the experience with Auto Talent was top notch. I would highly recommend Auto Talent and will definitely be coming back for the next purchase. read more

Auto Talent - Apex VS5-RS 19x11 ET52 Wheels for a 2019 GT350 - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardena, California

When the choice to modify a vehicle is made, it is important to take your vehicle to a place you trust... especially as a new customer. You do your homework, search the forums, make a few calls, talk to some friends... I'm happy to say, that all that work paid off, as I'll gladly come back to Auto Talent again... making an appointment was easy and Justin takes care of you from initial conversation to vehicle pickup. The work is quality, as can be seen by the type of vehicles in the shop... Justin kept me informed throughout the work being done, and was flexible with additional requests that were made. Plus, it's nice when the vehicle is ready before the original estimate. Bravo to the Auto Talent team. read more

Auto Talent - Lowering Springs install... - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardena, California

I came here to get an independent diagnosis on an issue w/. my E90 BMW 335i. Being a daily driver car, I wasn't really here for mods or serious performance upgrades. I dealt with Mike, and was a referral from a car group buddy. They were nice enough to fit me in for diagnosis and I think they did a good job identifying the main issue, pretty much the same as the other two shops I spoke to. I was not 100% sure of their repair quote though, and at the end of the day I decided to go with a "more expensive" shop, but one I knew would do the most thorough job. In regards to mods, upgrades, etc, I can see why these guys get good reviews. Lots of high end performance cars were there, and they seemed to have a good amount of work coming and going. I was pleased Mike fit me in, he was cool about not billing an entire hour for the diagnosis, and my overall impression was a good shop for the enthusiast and mod community, but for an older daily driver sedan, probably not a normal thing for them to do out of warranty maintenance, etc. When I finally pull the trigger on a sportier exhaust, I will be coming back. read more

AutoTalent (Golan Haiem) seems to not want to assist when it comes to cancelling an order or even attempted to cancel the order. Particularly if I was able to get ahold of them and they claim they are still "waiting" for a response. When the cancelling request was made, the order was not shipped and there was plenty of time to cancel the order. Via FedEx tracking number, item was not picked up by FedEx from distribution until 3:03 PST PM on Friday further suggesting there was no attempt to cancel the order nor did VRSF receive any such cancellation request from AutoTalent. AutoTalent only provided the order number after the package was picked up by FedEx from the distribution center where it was already too late to cancel the order. Day 1 - Monday - Order placed with LHL Distribution dba AutoTalent Day 3 - Wednesday - Cancellation request email sent to AutoTalent Day 3 - Wednesday - Cancellation email request received by AutoTalent, stating 5% charge fee since order was already processed Day 3 - Wednesday - Confirmed with AutoTalent and agreed to 5% charge fee Day 3 - Wednesday Emailed VRSF, company AutoTalent is ordering products from to have directly shipped to me as they don't stock them personally Day 4 - Thursday - VRSF replied requesting VRSF Order Number and the Registered Billing Email the reseller used in order to provide assistance. Day 4 - Thursday - AutoTalent stated they are still trying to get ahold of the vendor Day 4 - Thursday - Advised AutoTalent I was able to get ahold of them and needed the VRSF order number and billing email to confirm cancellation. Day 4 - Thursday - AutoTalent decides to send over email with invoice Day 4 - Thursday - AutoTalent sends over Fedex tracking number Day 5 - Friday - VRSF requests I ask for order number again. Day 5 - Friday - 2nd email is sent to AutoTalent requesting VRSF order number Day 5 - Friday - Fedex Tracking now shows item has been picked up from shipping warehouse Day 5 - Friday - AutoTalent finally responds and provides order number for VRSF Day 5 - Friday - VRSF replies they cannot process the cancellation due to the order having already been shipped. read more

I recently took my vehicle to AutoTalent to have an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system installed. Unfortunately other shops either had issues locating the exact system I wanted in a timely manner, and forget scheduling an install within a decent amount of time, etc. Sam the owner allocated one in less than a day, literally had it delivered the next day and it was installed the day after... the install was immediate and my vehicle was delivered exactly when they said it would be done and I had zero issues! I literally could not wish for a better experience, and I could not recommend a better shop for your automotive needs. read more

Ordered Ams downpipes and couldnt be any happier. Like all parts right now it was on back order but Auto talent kept me informed and was delivered exactly when they told me. Customer service is 5 star also best price I could find online. Highly recommend -Mario read more

Auto Talent did a great job on installing my TSportline Springs (1 inch drop) on my Tesla Model 3. Install took about 3-4 hours and Justin did a great job on sending me progress pics and updates along the way. Great customer service, really responsive and unbeatable prices for all their work. Would highly recommend this shop. Thanks! Johnny read more

Terrible customer service. I'm doing a copy paste here. how could you be so ride to a potential new customer? I have THREE EURO SHOW CARS, but Autotalent won't see any of them again. Had to go here to have an exhaust swapped - the buyer chose the shop. When I went in, none of the 5 people even said hi. Just barely made eye contact and walked right past. Since no one would talk to me, I decided to wait and check out some cars sitting on the ground. Didn't touch anything, just used my eyeballs. NOW they can speak and yell at me rudely to get the f out of there. Finally someone pulled my car out, didn't say hi yet. Got out of the car said "keys are in the center" and walked away. I'll NEVER go back. Ever..... Justin texted my wife asking what happened. I replied to him there. I had already left a review on FB so when I went to look at that, Justin had replied - very rudely. Apparently it's my fault that I didn't know EVERYONE was on lunch at that time (why wouldn't you just close the shop for lunch? ALL DOORS WIDE OPEN.). He has continued to reply, refuses to apologize for the poor experience and refuses to acknowledge it's bad customer service. I was just there to pick up a car! I had no financial transaction with them,maybe that's why he doesn't care. The first words they spoke to me were "get the f#$k out of there". Not hi. Not hello. Not Excuse Me. Nothing. And Justin is completely OK with this as he stated so in a response to a review. Horrible, avoid at all costs. read more

Great company. Cheap prices. I've bought several items from them. #1 seller. Would recommend !

Trust the 1-star reviews! Let me share my experience. -I have a C63s. reached out to ask about the FI Downpipes, Golan said it's in stock. Told him I made an appointment with the shop. I asked about selecting the right shipping method, he said don't worry, select this shipping method and it'll get there on time. -All paid, got the receipt. next week comes, my car is now in the shop, parts are nowhere. Car sat on the rack for 5 days total past the appt, probably cost the shop money because they're just waiting for me. Back and forth with Auto Talent, finally got a "resolution" to expedite the confirmed "in stock" Downpipe. He sent me a quote for $120 + next day air which I'm paying for. I said F*** it, no choice now, just do it. -more days passed, no response anymore from Golan the man. Parts never came, never even shipped out. Got the texts to prove it too. -long story short, the whole ordeal ended up costing me + $4000 over my budget because I had to expedite a different set of downpipes, had to take the tranny out instead which even cost more for labor, and fucked up my OEM downpipes in the process because of the new set up. -asked for a refund, 2 weeks pass and still never got a confirmation that the refund has been processed. Had to go through my bank to check that charge and run it back -In the end, total shit show from this vendor. Garbage customer service. And I feel obligated to give you, the honest shopper, a PSA. please purchase at your own risk! Owner is a real piece of work read more

Stay away from these guys. These scammer will charge your card even when the product is not in stock and won't refund the money!

I ordered a car part and I paid an extra 80 dollars for next day shipping on a Thursday. I kept trying to call them and no one answered the phone when I didn't receive it on Saturday. I finally got a response Monday still no part. I was very frustrated because I kept having to call out of work. I was told I would get my shipping money back and a discount the next time I ordered. I got the part on Wednesday night and called once I got it and they told me I was no longer eligible to receive what I was told I would get because I received the part. I was very upset. Never will order from them again. Don't waste your time buy directly from where they get it!!!! Although I do have to say even though I had a horrible experience with customer service when I somehow got put through to the actual shop and they were very positive and kind! read more

(Update: Golan, a representative from the company has gotten back to me and was very nice. He also issued me a refund. Though it was hard to get ahold of them they came through in the end.) Was told my order would ship in 1-2 days and have not heard a whisper from the company 8 days later. I have called and emailed everyone I could contact from the company. I have read reviews about people not receiving their orders after months of waiting and I dont think they ever will get them. To those of you that are in the same circumstance as me, I reccomend you write a report to the BBB's website. https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/los-angeles/profile/used-car-dealers/auto-talent-1216-650705 Link to the BBB's autotalent page ^^ read more

Hands down best customer service I have ever received from any shop. I've been to a few shops, and no one has come close to the help I've received from Auto Talent. Had my bmw f82 tuned here and had a lot of issues with a previous tune on my car, and Justin helped with everything. Additionally, I was having problems with my car after hours, and Justin helped fix the issue when he really didn't have to on his time off. Really appreciate all the help from these guys and will continue to work with them for future upgrades on my vehicle. I highly recommend Auto Talent! read more

Auto talent was an ease to use to order my downpipes, I had reached out to make sure a product i was looking for was in stock before purchasing. Joyce, reached back out to me and assured me the product i wanted was in stock and she expedited my product after i made the order so that it would process faster. I would use Auto Talent again in the future to make more purchases in parts for my car. read more

Total scam. Golan and I had a misunderstanding, which is fine it happens. But then I go to contact him to ask around how long would the refund take. I waited overnight, no response. I texted him again then after that text he just blocks me. I just want my money back since I didn't get my wheels that I paid for. Don't lose your money! read more

I ordered through them lower down pipes and they never sent me a confirmation email or anything on my order I tried to contact them several time for any confirmation and no response. On my fourth business day trying to get in contact with them I finally get through to someone who doesn't work for them but sends automated emails to the owner In order to get a response. Once I finally get a call back they tell me my part is out of stock and is it okay for me to wait for October 15 to ship. They should not sell parts out of stock on their website and on top of that have it on sell basically advertising it. Now I have to push off plans of installation and lose my deposit due to their unprofessionalism. I hope my review can help other people before purchasing. read more

After assessing all the other reviews left on Auto Talent Group, and my personal experience I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the worst companies to buy from I am specifically talking about (Golan) I have realized that he always says wheels are in stock when they are in back order from the original company he will take your money and you will not receive your wheels any time soon besides that he will also ghost you no reply or tracking or updates on your order. I am very disappointed as I thought there would be some type of hope but unfortunately that was not the case with Golan from Auto Talent group really the only TALENT they have is being able to scam you. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone! Your better off buying from a better company with better principles and morals. Specifically somewhere where Golan does not work. This company gets a -2/10 read more

Casual but professional service from Mike. The process was very transparent when getting my list of upgrades with quote upfront. He gave text updates whenever necessary and kept me in the loop. Justin was my main point-of-contact and he was extremely professional as well and helpful whenever he was in the shop. I had a problem with a pinched wire from the mods and brought it back in and they diagnosed and fixed the problem within the day (no charge of course). This is now my go-to place for my always growing list of upgrades. I believe they're moving shop soon to another location (Torrence I believe) so keep a look out. read more

After 15 years of ownership I finally wanted to do some engine and suspension tweaking. I messed autotalent on bimmerpost.com and that's where I met Golan. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions. He presented me with a few different air intake options and I went by his recommendation. The eventuri intake shipped very fast and is a beautiful intake. Once installed it woke up my car with sound and performance. I placed another order again after I explained to Golan that I had some body roll in my suspension. He recommended that I go with sway bars and I ordered a set for the front and rear. I just installed them and I notice a difference already. Thank you to Autotalent for the friendly and quick service and thanks to Golan for all of his help. read more

I can only give 5 stars, but AutoTalent deserves 10! I ordered a BM3 flash tune online for my '15 BMW X5M and the whole process couldn't be easier, provided you have a laptop & Enet cable to flash the tune yourself. Golan from AutoTalent, who's an authorized BM3 dealer, was extremely helpful, answered all my questions, and followed up on my installation, to make sure everything turned out alright. This is my go to shop from now on. Thanks again Golan for all your help! read more

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because of Covid. We have emailed multiple times trying to sort out a down pipe that is not correct. I would love to fix this with the company as I hear great things but the customer service is not up to par. My 17 year old works at a fast food restaurant very hard and he saved to buy this with a little help from us. We are all quite disappointed. read more

I'm from the Bay Area and we don't have many tuners that can unlock BMW/Mini DME's. I took a trip down to LA and made sure to stop by here.
