Price is no object in my quest to stay cool. Bought a townhouse near the ocean and replaced all the windows with double pane low-E glass which keeps out heat in the summer. When I bought my car it had no tint and I got hot when the sun shined on me through the windows. I put very light Greystone CR 70 grade tint on the front 2 windows and I only got warm when the sun hit me. The back 3 windows had Greystone CR 40 grade tint which was limo dark and sitting back there you could barely feel the sun. The problem with my Civic is the front windshield is huge and sloped so a ton of sunlight hits the dashboard and me so often I got hot from sunlight coming through the windshield. Last year I was driving to Palm Springs alot and was getting really hot even with the AC set to maximum. I did research on the net and found out 3M had released a Crystalline series of window tint which had the highest heat rejection rating I had ever seen. Cut to now: It's summer. I'm getting hot driving around. I call SD Motorsports and they squeeze me in at the last minute for a early morning appointment. 2 hours and $350 later my front windshield is tinted with 3M Crystalline CR 70 grade tint. They did an excellent job on the install. Looking through the windshield is much like looking through the front side windows. The heat rejection is about the same as sitting in the backseat behind the Greystone CR 40 limo grade tint. To summarize: 3M Crystalline tint is expensive and does an excellent job keeping me and my car cool. SD Motorsports provided excellent customer service and did a great job tinting my windshield.

Unfortunately, this visit wasn't as smooth as my previous experiences. When I arrived, I walked toward the service area and was told to go to the front because there were employees available to assist me there. Once I got to the front, I wasn't acknowledged right away. Later, when I returned to pick up my vehicle, I went to the front desk again and was directed back to the service area. When I got there, no one was at the desk, so I walked back to the front and again waited without being acknowledged before finally asking for my keys. The work on my vehicle was completed, but the customer service and communication could definitely be improved. There seemed to be several employees working, yet the process felt confusing and unorganized. Based on this experience, I'll likely continue visiting the El Camino location, where I've consistently had quicker and more attentive service. Hopefully this location can improve the customer experience moving forward.

It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir

I am repeating my review of 2/7/2012 because it doesn't appear on Excelsior Motor Sports listing for some reason. It appears to have been filtered out for no apparent reason. So here it is: I first met Kushan of Excelsior Motorsports six years ago after a favorable referal from a Corvette Forum fellow member. I was looking for a knowledgeable, fair and honest Corvette specialist who I could trust with my C6 Corvette with mechanical work which I either lacked the skill or lacked the equipment to do myself. Well, I found the right guy and have never had him disappoint me. I am no dummy when it comes to mechanics and hold multiple Graduate University degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration including BS, MS, and MBA degrees. I do a lot, in fact most, of my own work on my Corvette in my reasonably well equipped home garage. I have installed a ported throttle body, ported FAST 102 intake manifold, racing headers, Corsa Exhaust system, low temp thermostat, ignition wires and plugs and more on my LS2 engine. However, every modification has been followed by a visit to Kushan for his expert tuning skill using his top of the line and expensive Mainline Dynomometer. He has tuned my car three times over the years with excellent results. I have also had him make several modifications and alignments to my suspension system with equally outstanding results. He also diagnosed correctly and repaired a faulty wheel bearing which had produced an audible vibration which I was unable to solve. This man is without a doubt the most knowledgeable Corvette expert that I have ever known. He knows what he is doing and has an extensive engine building and racing background. He does nothing on a customer's car that he hasn't already done on his own cars with success. I have referred several people to him and would not hesitate to do so again. I can pick up the phone anytime and ask him any technical question or for his advice and he will freely share his knowledge with me. I consider him to be a friend and expect to use his skills extensively in the future. BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for a Corvette, Camarro, or any other Chevy V8 powered vehicle guy, look no further. Excelsior Motorsports is the place to go. read more

This is a great shop. I have been going to Excelsior for going on 2 years now. I have had many cars and have been to many different shops. When I moved to California I started looking for a new shop to take my car to. I read many different reviews and called around to many different shops. Every shop said that they could get horsepower out of my car but Kushan at Excelsior said he could get horsepower and improve drive ability then explained how, 2 minutes on the phone with Excelsior and I knew this was the place I wanted to take my car. I have a 2000 corvette that is my baby. I was not just going to drop her off and leave no matter where I took her. Kushan was very helpful and polite. He scheduled me quickly and allowed me to stay for the tuning process. He even took time to explain the steps he was taking through out. His shop was clean and taken care of and he himself looked very professional. He is very knowledgeable on every aspect of build a car (It's about more than just horsepower people). He has since given me advice and tips on my build and I could not be happier with my car. His pricing is very competitive and even more than that is his excellent customer service. If I ever have an issue Kushan will go out of his way to help and make sure my car and I are satisfied. Everyone I have recommended to Kushan has been more than satisfied and I will not take my car anywhere other than Excelsior Motorsports. read more

Just like the stars above! Excelsior is the "STANDARD" when it comes to automotive proficiency and professionalism. I have a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport that previously had a supercharger installed by a very reputable company. I had Excelsior install Headers and a smaller supercharger pulley. This was done with exceptional care and surpassed my expectation. Then Kushan's exceptional talent and knowledge of both EFI live and HP tuners blew me away with his tune. He was able to extract the maximum horsepower while ensuring safe drive-ability. Last thing I must talk about is an issue I ran into dealing with my METH system. After experiencing violent bucking while driving, I went straight to Kushan. He left no stone un-turned when identifying the issue. After further testing he identified a piss poor METH installation by that same reputable company caused a Meth controller failure. He knew I was looking forward to getting my car sooner than later so what does he do???? Kushan removed his own METH controller out of his racecar to get me back on the road. I will tell you in the last 15 years I have never been shown such respect and dedication to customers satisfaction. I am a Excelsior Customer for good! Robert read more

I don't usually write reviews but this needs to be told ) Had my c6 zr1 build and tuned by lingenfelter in Texas brought the car to Cali and wasn't happy with horsepower that lingenfelter claimed . Car was running too rich . So my car broke down ( nothing serious but still unreliable ) could find anyone good in Los Angeles so I found Excelsior Motorsport located in Escondido ca on car forums . Guys name Kushan is a owner of a company . So many good things I heard about this place and it's owner so I decide to give it a shot . My car is a showroom condition keep that in mind upon bringing my car to excelsior Motorsport I was shocked cause most of their cars were actually race cars . I got skeptic for a second ( how are they gonna treat my car ? ) man I couldn't ask for more . Very professional and clean they even washed my car before returning it . Kushan was very informative and knowledgeable about his cars . So he fixes my car and tuned it . My car is pushing 700whp . It's very responsive and reliable. I couldn't ask for more . Thank you Kushan and a team for your work and honesty . You guys are that one good company with good people working . Keep up your great work and thank you again !!!! read more

Excelsior Motorsports is an excellent shop for getting performance modifications done on corvettes (or any car with LS engines). I have a 2007 Z06 and have been going to Kushan for many years now. I started out small with just intake, exhaust, tune, etc. I just recently went 200.6 mph at the Mojave Magnum with the help of Kushan! I race mostly on road courses but always wanted to hit 200 at the Mojave event. The mods he has done so far include cats, headers, ported heads, solid lifters, solid cam, intake, stage 3 oil system, bigger radiator, coilovers, poly bushings, 4 corner balance, track alignment, dyno tune and more. Now I am pushing over 600hp to the wheels without a turbo, supercharger or nitrous. I have never been let down by the quality of his work. He has spent many extra hours on my car that were unexpected and he always makes sure you get the most out of your setup. He will follow up with you after the work is done, even come to the track with you if he can to make sure it all runs smoothly. He races his own Z06 and knows what is right for the car. If you want it done right, give him a call and he will work with you. read more

About a year and half ago I took my project truck to Excelsior based of word of mouth. The truck is a LS2 swapped Tacoma used for drifting primarily, some drag and is still daily driven. It had a few teething bugs related to the tune loaded by another company. I'm a mechanic by trade and have a hard time trusting anyone with my truck. I explained to him that I don't care about that extra 5whp, I'd rather it be able to survive the onslaught of torture I was gonna a put it through. Not only did Kushan get the bugs ironed out, he worked with me around my schedule, explained to me what he was doing and why and addressed all of my concerns. My truck came back to me running amazing. While I don't have a before dyno (tune was unsafe to dyno), the numbers were too be expected. Since then the truck has been to dozens of drift events (some track Temps were ~120*s) 9k very hard miles, and down the local strip a few times too. Not a single problem. Runs perfect. I plan on returning for retune for new mods in the future! read more

Excelsior Motorsports is topnotch! My 2014 Caddy CTS-V Wagon kept showing rear differential temperature warnings during "spirited" mountain driving, and forced me to pit early during track days this summer. Kushan solved this problem superbly with a custom diff cooler installation, and I have not lost any more track time due to differential overtemp warnings. This includes weekends at Spring Mountain (139 deg F track temp), Laguna Seca and Auto Club Speedway, all challenging tracks in hot weather. If I can figure out how to load some pictures below, you will see Kushan's aircraft quality fittings and workmanship. This is the work of a meticulous, race-experienced engineer. He really came through for me, committed to get the job done in time for my first ever run at the ACS ROVAL. Parts were delivered late, so he burned the midnight oil to make good on his promise. I would give him 5 stars for quality and 5 more for customer commitment if I could! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Kushan and his top notch service and knowledge. I moved around from shops till I came here and found the one that's right for me. I like to deal with someone who is patient and receptive to my needs and concerns. I proudly run his shops banner on my windshield when racing at Qualcomm or Barona. My cars been running strong after he did a heads and cam package, a high stall converter at another time, and several other things. I plan to go here for my supercharger install in the future as well. Ive never been to a shop where the tuner will literally spend the whole day making sure my dyno tune is perfect. Other shops spent half an hour or so and called it good. Kushan values quality over the quantity of cars he can rush through his shop. Defiantly the place to take your car if you want it done right the first time. read more

Today, I might have found my new favorite auto shop. Even though I was a born and raised Ford guy, I fell in love with the Trans Am. I had in the past done all my work through JBA because they were known as the "best" however after spending loads of cash and not getting the results I wanted; especially in the customer service, I turned to Kushan. Not only is he a down to Earth guy who is reasonably priced, he took the time today to walk me through a tune and explain in simple terms what each part of the tune is and can do. I even got to see the dyno pulls in person! I will continue to go to Excelsior Motorsports from here on out even though it is a longer drive for me, it is well worth it! read more

I am very satisfied with my level 1 performance package and stainless cat-back exhaust Kushan installed on my C6 Corvette. Working with Kushan at Excelsior Motorsports is truly "as good as it gets" He is professional and courteous and never fails to take the time to answer all your concerns. Kushan has built race cars for years and knows how to get the most out of your Corvette, whether it is intended for use on the race track or for the street. Go in and talk with Kushan about your vehicle. You will find him very knowledgeable and accommodating. He will not sell you something you don't need and may talk you out of something you think you need, but will be dissatisfied with later. read more

I was referred to Kushan by another corvette enthusiast. I could not be more happier with the work he has done on my car. The result has been outstanding and his work is top notch. Not only is he a master mechanic but extremely knowledgeable about motorsport racing. If you ask other corvette owners for a shop to bring your car his name is always one of the first. He is willing to go above and beyond to satisfy his customers, even meeting them on his days off whether it be at his shop or at the racetrack. If you are looking to take your car to the next level I have no reservations in recommending Kushan and Excelsior Motorsports. I know you will be just as satisfied. read more

Excelsior Motorsports is one of the few shops I would take my vehicle to. I do a lot of my own work but I leave the tuning to the experts and Kushan is exactly that. I installed a cam some new pulleys and some long tubes and after Kushan was able to identify the hiccups I made during the install he had it purring like a cat. Excelsior Motorsports is a very busy shop and Kushan was able to work me in and even come in on his off days. His customer service is also top notch. I would receive calls or emails if something wasn't going according to plan and was always kept in the loop. Kushan is extremely knowledgeable and professional.

I am living in Beverly Hills and I found Kushan at Excelsior Motor sports on the web searching for a reputable performance shop. I dropped the car of to him and within a range of time we had discussed Kushan had my car ready and I picked up my corvette which by the way is a 2011 black on black C6 ZR1 . I love the car. Oh my God. I thought it was fast before but Kushan made it that much faster and I like to go to the track with it occasionally like Laguna Seka and Willow Springs so he prepped it for track use also. I have been very pleased with his work and I will highly recommend him to everyone. See you at the track!. read more

No leaks or even signs of seepage, no rattles or unwanted sounds, NO METAL on magnetic drain plug, couldn't ask for better results from a major build. Excelsior Motorsports exceeded my expectations in every way. Finally, a performance shop with knowledge, skills and INTEGRITY.

Hours went by without any update. Throughout the entire time my car was at the shop, I was never proactively contacted. Every time I called, I was told Chris would call me back, but I never received a call. The biggest issue came when I noticed my car had about 10 extra miles on it. When I asked, Chris told me it was just a test drive. After I emailed Paul, the owner, he later confirmed to me over the phone that my car had actually been used to run a shop errand. Paul even told me himself that there was no excuse he could give for that situation. What makes this even more frustrating is that my repair didn't require the car to be driven in the first place. I brought it in because the driver-side door locking pin was stuck. When I picked my car up, nothing had been repaired and the issue I brought it in for hadn't even been looked into. It's hard to understand how there was time to use my car for a shop errand without my knowledge or permission, but not enough time to inspect the actual problem I came in for. Since my car was driven for reasons unrelated to my repair, I have no way of knowing how it was driven during those 10 miles. Whether it was driven carefully or aggressively, I should never have been put in a position where I have to question what happened with my vehicle while it was in the shop. I chose HQ Auto Sports because of the positive reviews and expected professional communication and respect for my vehicle. Instead, I experienced poor communication, conflicting explanations, unauthorized use of my car, and left with the same problem I came in with. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this shop.

I have a 95 F-150 that has seen dozens of mechanics in its lifetime, many of which have lied to me…read moreand price gouged me. Specifically in the span of this past month, after it stalled while I was driving it, I went through 8 mechanics who either refused service, didn't have the right tools, or just simply didn't know what to do with it. Thankfully Chris at Pinpoint was the 9th (and final) mechanic. Chris and George were both competent, kind, and communicative every step of the way. They treated me respectfully and Chris was dedicated to finding and fixing the problem properly - he even notified me that the ECU I had installed by a previous shop had likely been stripped from a junkyard vehicle (that shop had charged me full price and neglected to tell me it wasn't a new part). When all was said and done, I was charged very fairly for both the parts and labor. I definitely would recommend this shop, and I will personally be coming back the next time my truck needs work done as well. Huge thanks to Chris and George

They also have strong industry relationships that help them source quality parts at fair prices, which can save customers money compared to going directly to a dealership. What stood out most to me was their transparency. They took the time to explain what actually needed to be fixed versus what could wait. The work was done professionally, communication was great throughout the process, and I never felt pressured into unnecessary repairs. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Escondido that does quality work at fair prices, I'd absolutely recommend Fair Auto Repair. 2011 Honda Accord 2 Door EX-L V6
