Don't go here worst place ever, I took them my 65 mustang after 2 days of driving it the car wouldn't start anymore and gave me a lot of issues. I spent 13k with them and they over charged me on parts and labor. I wanted my car to go faster but instead they had me change all my wiring and serpentine belt and extra unnecessary shit I didn't need I guess I will see you in court since you don't wanna fix this. read more

Bought a Holley terminator and realized they're selling it for $250 more than Holley has it on their website.

My fiancé is absolutely obsessed with this shop! Joe is such a sweet man that offers overall great customer service and prices.

This is the place to go to Everything you need they have none of that we don't have it here it's at the warehouse They have anything from gaskets to full blown a built motor this is a place to go it's a Toys "R" Us for adults there price is just as good or a bit better as performance online retailers but feels good supporting a local shop not to manny shops like this around any more read more

Great small buisness that I sure appreciate. When ever am in a bind and missing or looking for new parts, HR always had it. bought a real nice Lokar cable setup and the price was good. Real nice gem in the hot rodding world. read more

Great people, Joey is very informative and helpful along with the other guys behind the counter. They will match Summit with many items. Joe is a awesome guy as well and always knows everything that no body else can figure out. Highly recommend to visit the store it's a clean & large shop. read more

Hawaii Racing - Speed Shop - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Purchased gasket set over $400 for a chevy 350 and not even 100 miles of driving, right head gasket leaking and spoke to the owner Joe to try to warranty it but big "NO" with an attitude and of course "you installed it wrong" and hangs up on me! Been purchasing parts for over 20 years and worst customer service and attitude from Joe. Will never purchase from there again. read more

Drove all the way out to Simi to check out Hawaii Racing. There are all kinds of good parts and motors to choose from! Watch out for the sword fish! read more

Hawaii Racing has a very impressive storefront, showroom and great inventory for most American V8's. That includes fully built floor models for you to drool over. Unfortunately that's where the accolades end. The prices here are the highest in the tri-county area. You can simply find a better price by going literally anywhere else for the identical performance parts. To top it off, they will not price match or negotiate at all. If you complain, they will quite literally point towards the door. The second issue is the complete lack of customer service. Long waits on the phone. Being hung up on. No one picking up during business hours. If you walk in, no one acknowledges you, says hello or even looks in your direction. When you do finally get their attention long enough to begin a conversation, they're rude and act as if you, the customer are truly bothering them. I'm not sure how a business with this much visible disdain towards their customers stays in business. Perhaps it's the few large, white male retirees with disposable income who frequent this place to buy expensive billet goodies and get their egos stroked? Regardless, the best thing you can do at Hawaii Racing is to go somewhere else... read more

Used to have a rap for being overpriced. Things have changed and now I can't seem to find a better place with better service and he price matches Summit. Love it thanks guys read more

Went in there first time to look at edelbrock heads and cam combo. Was in there for about 6 minutes, 2 guys working one on the phone and one t a long to a customer. Not one of them acknowledge me being there. They lost that sale and a would be customer I'll stay with JEGS and SUMMIT RACING for all my performance parts! Wouldn't go there again. If they were busy I would understand but no excuse for poor customer service. ... read more

So I just went in to ask about LS engine mounts for a 67 Chevelle and spoke to owner of Hawaii racing and we were talking about our experiences with what we have to do to get the engine to fit right. As I was talking to him about what i have seen and read about he mentioned what he had to do to get his mounts fitted properly as to modify them. So I as we were talking more he started getting frustrated with how companies say mounts work when they don't so I was getting ready to say what I saw on YouTube and he said I don't deal with that sh*t and I'm like hold on chucks garage he's like I'm f***ing done listening about this if you want your car done right bring it here in 2 months and started cussing when he walked away. I said what is your problem and he went along with his way with other words being exchanged. I just went in with a issue aleft in despair and shock as to what just happened. i will kot shop herr again and neither should anyone. read more

They charged me 500 dollars for a part for my car. It came with an instruction book which included there website. I went to the website and found my part for 150$ with free shipping. That mark-up for a cheap Chinese manufactured parts is absolutely absurd. I regret to admit that I was scammed by these guys, I hope I've helped somebody from wasting there time and money. read more

Ya I've read all these reviews and maybe back in the day they didn't price match and were outrageously high, but I bought a complete aeromotive stealth fuel take kit and it was the same price as summit. I also purchased a few other things remote cut off solenoid being one of them and they price matched summit. So no complaints here. Just do your research before hand and you can get your parts same day if in stock. read more

Called yesterday for plug wires. Found what I wanted on the phone after much unwanted and immature chit chat from both guys working there. I drove 25 minutes to get there and the wires weren't as I asked for but was assured they were cut to length. They were not. Fortunately, one of the guys finally boned up and after I requested he look for viable alternatives, he did find one, which I subsequently purchased. No sooner am I checking out and paying than the owner strolls by and says those wires aren't that good and I should've bought another brand even though they're more expensive. What a shitty thing to do and say as a customer has decided on a product and is making a purchase. Furthermore, why didn't you OR your childish staff recommended other manufacturers before I made my purchase? Put your $.02 in BEFORE a customer makes their decision, not as a poke or afterthought. What added to the usual POOR EXPERIENCE shopping here is the constant walking up and down the counter. "Over here to look it up. Over here to pay. No, back over here. Fucking ridiculous not to mention how long it takes your staff to pull an item from stock (and do so with that ever present little smirk on their face). This is why I try to never buy here. Only did so this time out of urgency. Think I'll stick to my guns from now on and order from Summit and wait the day or two and avoid the overall bad experience I get EVERY TIME I've gone here. Best of luck staying open, especially in these hard economic times (Covid-19). Maybe it's time the old man closed shop or retired and sold to someone who understands the business of doing business these days. read more

they flat out stole from me and didn't even have the balls to apologize

I placed a online order. After 10 days having received no confirmation or communication of any kind and my emails going unanswered I called them only to be informed that they were no longer able to honor their pricing. This is the worst Speed Shop I've ever dealt with. They are clown shoes read more

never got through, 15 minutes of bad surf music with poor reception. If business is so good you can't answer a phone call, at least invest in a digitial hold music option so the bad surf music is at static free. I told the receptionist I had a part number to check availability...15 min., no response, I called another source. Got it elsewhere, ARP bolt kits are not that exclusive that you need to wait 1/4 hr. on hold. Nuff said...jlb read more

What a joke. Had about 1,000$ worth of parts to buy and not even a "how you doing well be with you in a minute. I sat and listened to one employee on the phone for 15 minutes and listened to the other employee talking about bolt on horse power. Had enough and left read more

What an Awesome shop! Whether you need to build your Impala cruiser, smash gears in a 500in blown hemi, buy bolt on horsepower or get oil for your daily car.. These guys know hot rodding, very professional, and clearly take pride in their customer service.. The other poor reviews I'm sure is from being impatient. Two guys cant do everything at once. Good luck boys! read more

Cleanliness is close to godliness thank God for Hawaii racing one of the coolest motor shops I've been in for the basic to advanced highly recommend Hawaii racing!!! read more

Joe and the staff at Hawaii Racing made a long time dream become a reality. I wanted to build a tribute reproduction of a Hemi powered 1955 Thunderbird that was built by Art Chrisman in 1958. I purchased a stock restored Thunderbird , drove it to Hawaii Racing the day after Thanksgiving , by Feb 1st it was one the road heading for display at the NHRA Winternationals, amazing as the project required building thei Hemi from scratch using all aftermarket parts other than the block and crankshaft,no easy task as we were using an EFI converted original 1958 Hilborn injector. The chassis work was not simple either as I wanted the car to look as stock as possible. The engine was in and out 5 times to satisfy Joe's desire to have it look as close to the original as possible, and the progect was finished in just three months with a total cost actually a bit under what we agreed on read more

What a fricken rip off. In a pinch for Holley jets and bowl gaskets. Two pair of jets, four gaskets and the screw seals....$62. Over twice as much as Jegs or Summit Price gouging is right! read more

Stay away from this place. They price gouge! I was warned by my mechanic that they are super expensive but I went there anyway because I needed a starter and couldn't wait to get one shipped. They charged me $160 plus tax for a part that is only $83 online. I do expect to pay more because I'm going to a brick and mortar store but double? That's ridiculous!. I don't know much about cars and that's apparent, that's why I have a mechanic. I think the owner new that and changed the price on me. Stay away! They take advantage. read more

When it comes to expertise, customer service, and perfection, the staff at Hawaii Racing have mastered these qualities. Joe (owner) will listen to your goals for the car and make decisions on how to approach the project that makes sense for the customer. My 71 Camaro started out with a rear axle gear change. They handled it great and my experience and satisfaction with this small job cemented the trust for what they can do. Joe and his crew since then built me a 496 monster, along with adding a heavy duty transmission to handle the HP and torque. The custom made transmission supports looks as if was factory. They cleaned up all of the wiring in the engine compartment so it's hidden and clean. Hawaii racing also finished off the fire wall by fabricating a metal plate and welding up the heater core area and all unnecessary holes. Then they Performed the body work and paint and the firewall looks better than new. They also installed Baer 6 piston brakes on all four wheels. Recently I added Vintage air and redid the front suspension replacing the stock A-arms with tubular ones and looks fantastic. There is nothing they can't do to your hot rod. Everything was done right and to perfection. I recommend them all the time. read more

I had Hawaii Racing install a Chevrolet crate 383 engine in my Chevelle, and was very happy with the work, and fair price. I shopped around, and was glad I took it here. Very clean, and organized Speed Shop. read more
