They never give me problems replacing burnt out bulbs. Even after i moved out of California, I came back when i was on a visit trying to make a replacement and they still honored it even though I didn't have the car with me.

I'm thankful that my brother was able to buy me the Groupon for this and I would drive an hour to get here for them to help me. Now I feel safe being on the road in the evening when I get off of work and not have any concerns of getting pulled over by anyone.

In the context of this review, I would like to provide some background information. I had a friend…read morewho recently purchased an Alpine ILx509 halo head unit, AudioControl D-5.1300D Series 5-channel amplifier, and a JL Audio 10TW3-D4 10" subwoofer in a JL Stealth Box for his 2023 Toyota Pro. He had previously sold his 4Runner for an F250 and had all of these brand-new and almost plug-and-play components. There were a few Maestro units that I had to use to utilize some of the stock controls. Additionally, one item was defective and brand new, and they were able to get it warrantied. They also had to reflash my Maestro RR because it was specified to a JBL audio system and had to be a non-JBL system. Previously, I had upgraded the stock speakers with Focal all around. I visited CA Car Sounds and informed them about my requirements. It took a few trips to determine if I needed any additional components that were not already installed. They provided me with a quote, which was reasonable given the complexity of the work. They mentioned that they would need the vehicle for 1-2 days, which was acceptable to me. I wanted the work to be completed without any rush. My specific needs were to have the amplifier bolted to a plate under the passenger seat and to avoid bolting the amplifier to the floorboard if possible. I also wanted to use the same SiriusXM stock antenna on my vehicle and retain my stock microphone as well as the steering wheel controls. I was somewhat apprehensive about how the setup would sound, but I was assured by Raymond, Austin, and others that I would not be disappointed with the Stealth box and the subwoofer. When I picked up my vehicle, Raymond accompanied me through the controls and demonstrated how it sounded. I was thoroughly satisfied. Everything looked and sounded excellent. They met my needs and addressed my concerns. The quality of work they put into customers' cars is exceptional. I would like to say thank you to Raymond, Austin and their installers

I worked with California Car Sounds to plan an installation of Focal speakers in my truck. We…read morediscussed the setup in advance and agreed on a specific product and installation plan. When I dropped the truck off and later picked it up, I was told after the fact that they had installed a completely different set of speakers because the Focal speakers I had purchased were back ordered by about a week. Instead of calling or texting to ask whether I wanted to wait or reschedule, the shop decided on its own to install a different brand and type of speaker without my consent. This is not acceptable. As a result, I had them remove everything and return the truck to stock. My weekend was spent shuttling the truck back and forth, the door panels were removed twice, and I am left exactly where I started weeks ago except with wasted time and frustration. What is hardest to understand is the decision making process. There was no phone call, text, or email before making a material change to the agreed upon work. Installing a different product without customer approval is baffling. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Absolutely incredible experience with Look Auto Body!…read more They repaired the roof on my car and made it look completely brand new, you would never know there was ever an issue. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-tier. On top of that, they went above and beyond and detailed the entire car, so when I picked it up it honestly looked like I was driving it off a showroom floor. Super professional, friendly, and clearly proud of the quality of their work. If you're looking for honest, skilled, and reliable body repair, I highly recommend Look Auto Body. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Important to note that they took my car in and completed the battery replacement and coding the same day I called even though they were completely swamped. :) At times, they are delayed in responding but for the amount of cars they take in and the work they do, it's normal for any mechanic. They answer every dumb question I have and provided recommendations for my car as well. Next up for me is to replace the rod bearings. Josh was running a special when he first gave me the quote (around a month ago) but he's still going to honor the price. Will definitely continue to support Josh, JR and team! They make you feel like family when you walk through the door and really do care about the work they do. Thank you guys for going the extra mile. Appreciate you!

Anyone who knows the N54 knows it's not something you trust to just any shop. These guys get it. The work is clean, precise, and done right the first time. No guessing, no corner-cutting, and no unnecessary upsells. They take the time to explain what's going on and treat the car with real respect, which goes a long way, especially when it's a car you genuinely care about. The atmosphere is super professional but still relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you feel confident leaving your keys and even more confident driving away. Honest work, great communication, and zero stress. If you're looking for a shop that knows performance cars, understands BMWs, and keeps the whole experience smooth and chill, Race Factory is it. They've earned my trust and my repeat business, highly recommend. Great Value!

Had it installed by a professional company. 14 months after the fact, the wrap started changing color and looked burnt. I never car washed the car. It was always hand washed so the issue wasnt washing it. When I contacted them, they told me in southern California they warranty covers only 13 months and they its due to sun and how I park my car possibly The offered to reprint the panel and charge me again for it although it would be a different color and mis matched w rhe rest since It would be a new print. Products sometimes goes bad absolutely understandable but for something that would cost u north of 5k to last only a year and then they resell u the same thing rather than taking responsibility I was trully disappointed. I have other wraps on my other cars from other comapnies and non have changed color even after 3 years so it cant be the area rather the quality of the material. I wish someone would tell me this before I would spend so much money on it. Hope this would be a eye opener for others thinking of it. I took more pictures and this is in a span of 2 weeks. the deteriations is significant and the companies claim of this being due to the heat is not true since Los angeles hasnt even been hot yet.

The gold standard for collision repair!…read more I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. I brought my car in after an accident, and from start to finish, the experience was top-notch. What truly set them apart was the world-class customer service. I would plan to call for an update, and Mike or Troy would regularly beat me to it. They kept me informed every step of the way, which made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. The repairs are flawless; honestly, my car looks better now than it did before the accident. If you need bodywork, White Oaks Auto Body is the way to go.

I didn't have insurance for the repairs so they worked with me and clearly laid out all my options--what needed to be replaced and what could be repaired based on my budget. The damage involved the hood, headlight, front fender, bumper, and fog light, all of which had to be repaired or replaced. They walked me through each item and explained why certain parts should be replaced versus repaired, which I really appreciated. The pricing was very fair given the amount of work that needed to be done. Most importantly, the quality of the work was excellent. Everything lines up perfectly, the paint matches great, and the car honestly looks better than I expected. You'd never know how much damage there was before. It's hard to find a shop that's both honest and skilled, but this place absolutely delivers. Highly recommend.

For Brian Santos -- I hope you become even more successful. Thank you…read more Honesty. Integrity. Skill. This message is for anyone who values character, peace of mind, and happiness. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars, so finding someone both honest and skillful matters to me. Speed Element was recommended by my friend Ronan, who said this is where "car guys" go. I'm not a car guy--but Ronan is. He drives a Nissan GT-R with full carbon fiber throughout. I don't fully understand what that entails, but I trust his judgment. If he trusts Speed Element, that carries weight. Brian handled all communication and coordination, and from my first message on Yelp, everything was clear and transparent. He broke down pricing and parts in a way that was easy to understand, answered my questions patiently, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Before I even came into the shop, Brian was already helping me over text when my car had trouble starting. Instead of pushing a sale, he suggested trying a battery tender first. That said a lot. By profession, I'm a doctor in rehabilitation and sports medicine. Most people don't fully understand what's happening in their own bodies, which is why transparency and patience are essential when working with patients. I shared this with Brian, and he said he approaches his work the same way. That philosophy resonated with me. The team in the back handled the work--wheel balancing, an oil change, and a battery replacement--and Brian coordinated everything smoothly, even applying a discount. I had a vibration between 50-70 mph, and Brian took a test drive with me to confirm it was resolved before I paid. The garage is open, so you can see the work being done throughout the process. Another small but telling detail: Brian offered to secure my belongings from the car in a safe location. It reinforced that professionalism isn't only about technical skill--it's about consideration. It also helped that we're both Filipino-American, which made communication easier and the interaction more natural, though the quality of service stood on its own regardless. No hidden fees. No surprises. Full transparency. If these values matter to you, go see Brian at Speed Element.

December 21 was a Sunday night, so it was either wait for the tire to get flatter by morning, or get it resolved. Hopped on Yelp, trusted the few reviews on here, and gave it a shot. Anthony responded fast and was super helpful. He lived really close to me and came to my spot, diagnosed the issue right away, and patched up my tire, saving me a grip on an expense I didn't need during the holidays. After the patch up, he thoroughly inspected my tire to ensure no other air bubbles were coming out, spraying it down and carefully checking. He put it back, told me what to look out for, and then he gave me great advice to wait til the New Year to buy new tires since most ppl would have a sale, which I did. My new tires will be coming in soon, but I really would've had a crappier Christmas if I didn't have his help. All of this happened within an HOUR by the way on a Sunday night at 8pm, right before Christmas. I mean, come on, where else can you find service like that? Fair warning - the neighborhood for a second sounded like an Auto Shop cuz of the loud power drill he had to use, but it was necessary to get it done fast. My neighbors who came out all worried to check where the noise was coming from were fine in the end (just scared cuz of all the local car thefts). Also, he doesn't carry change, so if you plan to pay in cash, just be ready - makes everything easier! Overall, amazing experience. Thanks Anthony for taking care of things the night before you left for your vacation! Definitely will save and come back if I need help again in the future.
