Rusting Unpainted Bypass Bracket Example
Brian T.

Pretty disappointed with the quality of work... I have been painting and welding, doing the work that should have been done by Dirt King during my paid install of a long travel kit for my 2006 T4R. Attention to detail is very lacking; however, with my attention to detail and whatever I paid them to do, I should have a robust and corrosion resistant install. Note to dirt king: plain carbon steel will rust sitting in a climate controlled garage.... SMH DETAILS LACKING: Unpainted CS brackets, some externally facing surfaces left unpainted; internally facing surfaces all left unpainted, Zirk fitting caps missing; welds missing on key suspension parts ( though dirt king says if I bring it back they'll weld what they missed); ALL INTERNAL SURFACES FACING ENGINE LEFT UNWELDED. I am sure I will find more but pretty dissatisfied with the finish work of this install. If you like doing extra work when you pay top dollar for an install, look no further!

Wheels tires and Billstein 5100s

Just wanted to give a quick thank you to Nick and his team at Dirt King. Nick helped me out personally with some new wheels, tires, and Billstein 5100's. This will be my go to off road shop as long as I live in SD. They are fabricators and know their business well. I feel very grateful to have found as Nick was very fair. Give them your business you won't be disappointed. Thank you Nick and Dirt King team.

While I'm certain all the guys at Dirt King are great, I was fortunate to speak with Jaren regarding the MT Trail Runner Kit for my 25' Silverado. After exchanging about a dozen emails and some driveway mechanic questions, I'm not a pro, he had me squared away. Parts arrived a few days after ordering and took about 4 hours to install in the driveway. Truck rides incredibly well considering LA streets are close to Mexicos dirt roads now, and that a huge plus! Thanks Dirt King!

Great service and products. They installed the suspension perfectly and for a price that beats most other shops. Definitely recommend.

Ask the Community - Dirt King

If I order a suspension kit for my 2026 Tacoma, do you guys do installation there?

We have two locations in the San Diego area. 7149 Mission Gorge Rd is our HQ where most operations happen and we do the manufacturing. Down the street from HQ is Dirt King Builds where we do installs and complete custom builds.

Are you familiar with Jeep Wranglers and the famous death wobble?

Hi Gabriel we're aware of the common issue with death wobble on the Jeeps but we only work on newer half ton trucks. We don't manufacture any products for Jeeps.

Hi do you do body mount chop on 4runner?

Yes we do. Please give us a call or email for more info. sales@dirtkingfabrication.com (619) 944-8913

Surprise $$$$ John's Automotive Up-charged me once I arrived. I walked out. Shame on these guys…read more They'll take you over the coals with Upcharges and work you don't need unless you do what I did, and that is to walk out and bring my business to an honest shop. I had no idea this was the same people as I had got a [crazy, inaccurate] quote from in 2018. I was quoted over the phone that a complete diagnosis would be $109. They had the make and model, knew it was a truck so should be no surprises when I walk in. RIGHT? wrong. "We like to get paid for our time"; dude at the counter. Then don't misquote customers in the first place. His excuse was, "well, we have to check the back of the truck too". Lame. Posted: are the two quotes for a diagnosis, one from John's and the next from a shop that I won't share here, where my truck is currently being serviced. Further, let's go back a bit in history. In April of 2018 I visited John's location on Riverdale in Grantville. My truck had registered a check engine, which turned up regarding emissions. What did "Johns" say and quote me? " Well, Toyota Tundras have four catalytic converters so you are looking at $3,270. out the door, you need to replace these, then you'll pass smog, clear emissions ". Problem: they got it way wrong: the 2000 Toyota Tundras have TWO catalytic converters mister grifters. After that B.S. I left. [2007s - present have four converters, so ketchup Bubs!] Next, I left and went to "Cardiego" on Adams Avenue. The owner checked the emissions signal and said, " all you need is your drive cycle reset. One hour later and $90. dollars later the work was done, truck passed smog and no more emissions issue. It was my mistake that I had no idea that this same outfit had a second garage in La Mesa, had no idea I was walking into the same line of talk and walk. I expect that the owner Mr. Joan will comment here something like this, " I am sorry you seemed to have this experience, because we don't have a record of you in our system " hmmmm... My response [following my laughter] is this: on 4/27 your computer generated the quote that I have posted here. It generated the information you had on my vehicle back in 2018 because you have my old plate number of 6E71244. So Jon, don't try to tell me you never had me in the "system" because if you had not noticed, I now have personalized plates, I haven't had the 6E7... plates for a while now. To be clear: my Tundra is the best year that was produced, it has been cared for only with master techs, and runs perfectly. Word to the wise: My recommendation is to go elsewhere to take care of your auto. **My truck needed the lower front ball joint replacement in the front only. The shop I went to even took out the $57. diag charge since I had the work done with them. It is silent and smooth as usual. There was no noise in the back and a quote on a diagnosis means you quoted me on a diagnosis of the entire vehicle. Bogus, no: I never "authorized" more diagnosis work. Just a foolish response below.

The best place in San Diego! If you want honesty, come here. Dave is my immediate service manager,…read moreand he always comes through. I've been using these guys for about five years and never disappointed. Highly recommended .

I purchased a lifetime oil change package from this dealership with the expectation that routine…read moremaintenance would be convenient and professionally managed. Unfortunately, my experience consistently fell short of that expectation. Oil changes routinely took between two and three hours, even when scheduled in advance. Over time, it also became increasingly difficult to reach anyone directly by phone, as calls were routed to voicemail with the expectation of a callback rather than allowing customers to speak with a service advisor. On one visit, I notified the service department ahead of time that my vehicle required a specific oil filter so they could have it available. Despite that notice, the filter had not been ordered, resulting in further delays. The most concerning experience involved my brakes. I was advised that brake work was necessary, yet after leaving the dealership, my brakes failed almost immediately. It was an alarming and potentially dangerous situation that significantly undermined my confidence in the quality of the service being provided. I later corresponded with the service manager in hopes of addressing these concerns. While I appreciated receiving a response, I was ultimately disappointed by how the issues were handled. I did not feel that the seriousness of the situation was adequately acknowledged or resolved. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe it's important to share an honest account of my experience. I had hoped that purchasing the lifetime maintenance package would provide peace of mind and a long-term relationship with the dealership. Instead, it became a source of repeated frustration and, in one instance, a genuine safety concern.

Brett is very disrespectful puts his hands up at customers when they are actually nice letting them…read moreknow they dropped the ball Now how they dropped the ball , we call to ask at 2:33 if the car is ready , we dropped it off at 9 am... the guy Brett states that he's the only one there managing everything and that he FORGOT to send the text , we get there and there's 2 other techs and then him in the office... I let him know someone said they are the only one here then he says that was him and I told him not gonna yell at you or nothing I'm calm just stating the shop was responsible to letting the customer know the car is ready he raises his hand , shakes his head and doesn't wanna hear a calm customer let him know he dropped the ball when the car was dropped off more 6 hours prior for an OIL Change !!!! That's insane and he doesn't wanna hear it. There was a white Mercedes that came after and their car is gone as you can see in the parking lot video down below!!

Huge improvement over the Pep Boys that used to occupy this building…read more Brand new store. It's clean, well-stocked, and nicely organized. Stopped by this past weekend to get a new license plate bracket for my car. My old one had some issues with the bolt holes. Memo helped me locate a new bracket and then figured out what screw combinations would work best. He really took a good amount of time and effort to get me set up correctly. Upon getting home and putting it all together, it looked and (most importantly) fit securely and neatly. Thanks Memo for your help and great customer service!
