Can't say enough about Kaizen! I'm pretty picky when it comes to service and working with quality, passionate people--and Sean nailed it. From the first call he was responsive, thorough, and straight-up honest. He didn't push a rebuild just to upsell me, instead he laid out options after checking internals, oil, and overall condition. Sean went above and beyond: revalving, rebuilding, swapping my worn springs for better ones, and dialing in my specs for ride height, preload, and extended travel. He even set me up with usable DSC settings for both road and off-road and walked me through it. I've got a 4th Gen 4Runner V8 with Fox 2.5 DSC up front, Fox 2.0 rears, Eibach 1" lift, and Dirt King UCAs--and the ride now? Plush, tight, and exactly what I wanted. Ho-lee-chit. Kaizen is the real deal. And his value is undeniable, his pricing was very fair! read more

Working with Sean throughout the process of getting my suspension rebuilt was the best customer service I've received in a long time. His communication was on point. He is beyond a professional when dealing with all the internal and confusing parts inside of the suspension. He kept me informed and updated me on every step of the way which made me feel super confident. I highly highly recommend Kaizen off-road to anyone who is looking for the best place to get their suspension rebuilt. read more

I'm a huuuuuuuuge advocate for customer oriented service. Sean at Kaizen is nothing short of that. Professional and personable through and through. The shop is small, just enough for 1 vehicle with one lift but he's got all the knowledge and mechanical tools to do the job right! Parking is a tight as with all strips auto/car/ industrial shops. I would 100% absolutely bring back my 4runner for any off-road needs. read more

Sean at Kaizen Offroad is very professional and very knowledgeable he installed an ECGS bushing and after the install he noticed missing weighs on my driver side wheel and rebalanced it for me at no charge.

Sean if fantastic to work with. He is patient and thorough. Another shop made some errors when working on my suspension. Sean quickly realized what was wrong and repaired it at a reasonable price. I wish that every business owner had the integrity and business ethics that Sean does. read more

Sean did an amazing job on my Tacoma. He gave me a great price, that couldn't be beat, and made sure everything was perfect. Price also included alignment, which was very much appreciated. Sean and his coworker also gave me some very good ideas for the future of my build. I would definitely recommend at least contacting him and getting a bid for any off road work you plan on doing to your vehicle. I will definitely be returning to him for the rest of my build. read more

I went to Kaizen Offroad to get my 2017 Tacoma worked on and I don't have a single negative thing to say. Previously I was looking at going through other shops (who I won't name) but i continuously was met by poor customer service and no sort of passion to help a customer build their truck. When I found Kaizen Offroad I instantly noticed a difference. Sean was the guy who helped over the phone and throughout the entire process. Needless to say Sean is awesome. He's a mechanical engineer and he's very knowledgeable, passionate and willing to work with you. He's fair upfront and honest with quotes and they only charged me $600 bucks for installation of wheels, tires, suspension and a CMC. Compared to other shops trying to get you to spend $1200-1500 on the same service. I could keep writing about how great the experience this was but go find out the rest for yourself. Thanks again! read more

Very knowledgeable team regarding suspension and everything OffRoad related. Ask away and they shall answer with reasoning as to why something should be the way it is and what they would do if it were their vehicle. Definitely a great shop to get your suspension completed including custom suspension fabrication. read more

Sean was awesome! He installed a stage 7 icon kit on my FJ cruiser. Most time it's a 2 day job but my FJ had a previous lift kit that made the job a bit longer. We were both unaware of this when I dropped it off but Sean was so cool and professional about it. It ended up take a few more days cause he wanted to make sure the job got done RIGHT. Had to wait on some parts and he got them for me on HIS store credit at Toyota, and didn't charge me extra. Most people would have just slapped it on and moved on to the next job. Not Sean he made sure it got done right no matter how long it took. And always kept me updated. Would recommend 10/10. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Sean and his shop. It is a great feeling when you find a shop you trust and can put your vehicle in their hands without a worry. Sean's communication was great, he answered all of my questions, and pointed me in the right direction for my 4runner. I have been here twice now to have installs done on my 4runner and both times I have been impressed with the turnaround time and quality of work. You can tell Sean really cares about the work he does and wants to make sure you are happy with the end result. Highly recommend you check him out! read more

Place Is legit. Great customer service! Very Knowledgeable and know what they are doing . Will def be going back !

Was directed here from a guy on a 4runner forum. Absolutely awesome service. Sean is very responsive and walked me through all the work he did. I took my 4runner in with 150k miles and a leaking XREAS suspension. Sean installed a dobinsons lift and the truck is driving like new. Can't beat his price either. I called a dozen other shops in the area and Sean was the most affordable by a long shot. read more

The best customer service you will have at an off-road shop as well as impeccable pricing. Sean is awesome and I highly recommend this shop.

They rock! I haven't even had any work done from them, but I wont take my truck anywhere else! I called looking to get my truck fixed after other shops messed it up, they are booked for a while but the guy who answered went way beyond what he needed to. He spent almost 20 min explaining what could be the issue as he is very familiar with the aftermarket suspensions and tacomas, he walked me through solutions of me diagnosing the issue on my truck since I have mechanical background and for free. He spent his own time to help me fix my truck, he gave me the solution over the phone. I paid multiple shops to end up getting screwed over and my truck worse than it came in, and he helped me fix it in less than 20 minutes over the phone for free! These guys are solid, I know where my truck will be going from now on. Nice to see a good business around, too many shady mechanics nowadays. But anyways, rock on brothers! read more
