Second time I have used Custom Wire Works! And once again, efficient, honest, explained everything he did- made suggestions and once diagnosed- stuck to the price. Chris is really good, fair and reasonable! read more

A fuse kept blowing causing numerous problems and codes.i was advised to call Chris from custom wire works , and ill tell you , he is amazing! He found the problem, which was a wiring problem. Highly recommend this place is you have an electrical problem read more

The Honda Dealer had quoted me $3,700 to change out the entire engine wiring harness. After speaking with Chris at Custom Wire Works, I felt confident that he would be able to resolve the problem without having to change the entire harness. Chris was a pleasure to work with and quickly got to work. Within two days he had properly diagnosed and fixed the issue at a fraction of the price that the dealer wanted. Chris is an electrical savant. I will definitely take all of my cars to him in the future. read more

I have been employing Chris's services for 15 years, and am *always* more than pleased with his work. The first job he performed for me was on my 1972 Dodge: he replaced the headlamp switch and its connector. Absolutely perfect! Now I have a 2004 Crown Victoria 'P71' ("The Outlaw", as I call it) which is me daily driver. Firstly, Chris repaired the brake light switch (a common malady with the P71's). The amount of tedious work involved was executed so neatly that I can't tell that any work was done! Certainly, I had 'before' and 'after' images to refer to (e.g., visual reference), so I know that he'd repaired the wiring. Again, absolutely perfect! Now, as of this date (31.07.2022), Chris performed another miracle on me Crown Vic: he replaced the A/C compressor, Accumulator ("Received-Drier" on some models), Orifice Tube (think: 'filtre'); flushed the climate control system; got the dash vents to work (no small feat on these cars!); and finally vacuumed (i.e., ran air through the system to eliminate any moisture and remaining contaminates) the system. Man, does that A/C blow COLD! So, if you want someone who'll do it once, and do it right, Custom Wire Works is your place! P.S. - Chris is also a fellow feline lover, too. read more

See all

I took my Genesis to Chris for a second opinion after the dealership told me that my head unit was bad which would cost me $3400. Chris told me that was not the case That in fact it was simply a fuse for the amp. He fixed it for $90, which was just the diagnosis fee. He is very efficient and honest. From this point on I'm only coming to Custom wire works for any electrical issues!!! read more

Absolutely the worst customer service EVER! Took 2 weeks to call me, I called daily to check in the car no answer! Finally got a hold of him and he cussed me out! This guy is an absolute joke, doesn't care about customers! Maybe he has some personal issues or something but come on! I showed up twice he was closed! Finally caught him and boom, dace to face yelling. I literally had to call the police to get my keys back! read more

Cris gave me great service, very knowledgeable, respectful and courteous the entire time always got back to me with any changes and had my truck repaired in less than two days. Altogether great shop great service great guy. read more

Ok I have never been there, but what AIl just witnessed today I am shocked by the owner Chris's behavior towards a customer. I was with a friend who needed a copy of an invoice that he has not supplied her with and he asked her are you the one who gave me a bad review on Yelp and she said yes and he told her F$#! You!! For one thing I can't believe he said that to a lady and next he is a business owner and told this to his customer instead of rectifying the situation. I would never go here and would not recommend. He would not give her a copy of the invoice. There will also two guys in the parking lot who witnesses this and one said he is always like that. In reply to his long response it still does not excuse your foul language towards a women and a customer. I will make sure to never recommend you and let others know how my friend was treated and harassed. read more

Forget the bad reviews that you have read about the owner of Custom Wire Works. Chris is a good dude and did a great job with my car. He was referred by another shop and did not disappoint. He worked diligently to find a power drain in my car that even the BMW dealership couldn't find. When I picked the car up he took the time to show me what he had done and how the drain was gone. The next time I need electrical work done on any of my cars I am taking them to him. read more

Thanks to Chris at Custom Wire Works! He was professional and friendly and really wanted to make sure I was happy with the service I received. He took the time to diagnose, explain the problem (low power to ignition switch) to me, and break down the cost. He was considerate of my time and work schedule, and offered to stay late to finish my car if I needed it for work the next day. It is always painful to spend money on car repairs but I really feel like his price was fair if not straight up generous given the amount of time and effort that was put into fixing my car. Just make sure you call before bringing your car in and talk to Chris as there are no set hours. read more

I very rarely leave reviews, but sometimes we deserve to be warned. I know that running a business can be overwhelming and I am a patient consumer, however this place is horrendous. There is absolutely no professionalism here. There is no need to go in to detail. I am a very understanding and patient person but when you are treated poorly and with disrespect it is not tolerable. I will take my business elsewhere, I hope no one goes through what I went through here, why risk it? read more

Chris was great when he worked on my car, but that changed when he took posession of my father-in-law's car. He had it for over 2 weeks..was told it had a vaccuum leak when it was dropped off and informed that a smoke test had been performed with no concrete diagnosis. I would call to check up and get no reply. Then he said he needed more gas to do some test (left it with 1/4 tank) so brought him $20 to put in it. No update for a week ... then gets upset when my father-in-law wants his car back. Said we were rude and "harrassed" him by calling for updates. He was using the car as his own!! There were his tools in the back seat when the car was getting reclaimed!! Stop blaming others when you do not call people back and have their cars for weeks on end!! Very unethical!! read more

Just called this business asking if I could make appointment to drop my car off so that he could look at it same day. I was told that's not the way it works you leave the vehicle and I will take a look at it when I can get to it. I then asked you mean I could drop it off and leave it there for several days before you look at it, and the answer was yes. While I understand that this may be his policy it was the way the message was delivered with a very rude arrogance . I am now subject to believe some of the reviews I have read below that this Business owner is a rude individual. I would suggest that all others seek other options and not give business to such an owner read more

I am so happy, finally! I've taken my car all over town and spent money at three different garages before finally finding someone that could fix her. Everyone has said they could fix the problem and yet when it comes down to it, I just keep getting a list of parts and services that I supposedly "need" and the problem remains. Chris came highly recommended and $165 later, my car is finally fixed. Custom Wire Works will be my FIRST call next time so I don't waste all my time and money. read more

This is in response to Chris comments. Now I really know that this guy has really lost it. not only is he crazy but he is a liar. I never refused to have him look at my vehicle. I had called Chris because my boyfriend had called me and told me to call Chris since he was working. He didn't tell me exactly what they talked about just to me to call to figure how we would work this out. I called Chris and did ask him about the warranty on computer he installed. He all of a sudden was on the defensive saying he had already had told my boyfriend twice what he could do. I said that's fine and was starting to ask him a question but Chris kept talking over me and wouldn't let me finish. He was the one who raised his voice and then insulted me. I finally had to tell him look calm down all I was trying to tell him was if he could work with us since our vehicle was already at another shop for another reason and they were the ones who found the problem with computer. By the way the jeep dealership is where the car is and they are trying to get a hold of Chris to resolve this but he is not cooperating. The dealership is who referred me to this guy. My friend also witnessed what type of person Chris is. I went yesterday to get a copy of my Invoice since the dealership was asking for it i dont think i got an original one and thats when he told me me" f$#k you!!! You wrote a bad review on yelp about Me" I was still trying to call yesterday to find out if he could look at my car even after he cursed me out cause I guess I'm desperate to get this fixed. I really don't want to have to pay for a new computer when this defective one is under warranty. All I was hoping for was an easier resolution. He kept hanging up me. Does that sound like I'm refusing to have my car looked at or that he is willing to work with us. I'm am scared what this guy is capable of now since has represented to me he is not trustworthy. Im just shocked how someone is this mean. Chris if your reading this you know the truth and I know you're just trying to cover your butt. I have several witteness verifying everything I am talking about!!!!! Shame on you for handling this so unprofessionally. I only wrote what I experienced with this business never have I ever had to go through this before. So disappointed read more

If you have never blurted out "and that's why I love you" to your mechanic, then you have not been here. But when you come to see for yourself, bring a camera because you're about to see an Endangered Species... An honest mechanic. This mechanic shop is just a guy named Chris that does fantastic wiring and electrical work on automobiles. Over the years with my 2002 ford mustang (which is apparently wired like Christmas lights pulled out of storage for the first time in years) has had so many electrical problems. Alternators, wiring issues within the steering column, anti-theft issues, i once shorted every light in the running system when trying to hook up a tow hitch (yes i put a tow hitch on my mustang). But i bring it to Chris and am just shocked when he quotes me the repair cost. I suppose i am so used to being overcharged by regular mechanics. this guy is cheap, this guy isn't particularly fast but hes certainly trustworthy and if you are willing to leave your car with him a few days, i bet when he calls you with a price you are going to be shocked with how inexpensive the repair costs for the difficulty and amount of time he puts into it. i really can't recommend this guy enough, I drive from Riverside to use him, if you are anywhere between Temecula and here, and your car has something even slightly electrical wrong with it, use Chris.

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Chris is an expert on all things cars. He has fair pricing and explains everything thoroughly and in detail so you know exactly what to expect. My expectations were far exceeded. It's nice to be able to trust your mechanic. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. read more

Our regular mechanic referred us to Custom Wire Works when they determined the problem with our daughter's convertible top to be an electrical issue. Chris gave us an estimate and said that if he didn't think he could fix the problem, he wouldn't even charge us the diagnostic fee. Luckily for us, he decided to take the job. He gave us a fair price for the repair and guaranteed the problem to be fixed. When it turned out the problem was bigger than he originally thought, he honored his guarantee and made it right without charging us more. We appreciate his attention to detail and his honesty. We will definitely refer our friends to Custom Wire Works. read more
