Both Jake and Eli are very knowledgeable and helpful. First time ever buying anything of this kind and am super happy with my purchases, (rack and cargo box) They are both so kind and helpful to this old lady starting new adventures. Thank you both for making my experience so enjoyable. I will certainly return. Carmen and Kendra read more

Jake and Eli set me up with a full overland build on my Toyota. They ordered everything, then they installed everything. They even stopped installation and advised me to order my front grill from another more reputable vendor. They were right! I can't thank those guys enough for not only ordering and installing everything but telling me that what I had ordered was not up to their standards. They took care of it and now everything that they installed is solid! On my way to Baja to disappear for a couple of months. TTFN! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. If i could give 1/2 a star i would. These crooks took over a long time local business. Long story short. They didn't measure anything clearly because they ordered a 10' rack for a 5' shell when i asked for an 8'. That's just the beginning. Then they b installed the ladder rack crooked abs when I discovered it on my own their response was " we didn't know you wanted it perfectly centered " ‍ Wow. Talk about workmanship. Then the Leer harness gives errors messages. EVERY turn. Then the harness is replaced. Then the NEW harness still isn't working and has to be REENGINEERED by LEER. When i asked them again about the crooked ladder rack they say they'll fix it next time....(like i really want to return a 5th time) which they couldn't do. They installed the mounts as far to the center as possible so there is ZERO room for adjustment. I am tired of dealing with a crooked and non operational shell and drop it off to them to give them an opportunity to fix it. In the evening of course because i work fire a living. Then i get blasted by the shop telling me they are going to take it to the dump or charge me $100 a day plus storage plus PRIVATE SECURITY if i want to pick it up. Unfixed of course. These guys are criminals. They are literally refusing to admit mistakes and instead threaten to call the police. WOW. read more

I went in yesterday and wasn't able to find what I needed but the two gentlemen working offered to come outside and take a look at my truck to help me solve my issue. Very helpful and kind staff. Thanks guys! read more

I came here for a quote. Although the owner was very nice a knowledgeable he couldn't Cobble together 5 minutes to pay attention to me and my $5,500 order. On the other hand the owner's wife is a nightmare. Making things and lying. I won't do business with Liars. read more

The best shop to go to if you need a hard shell or other accessories. Steve has owned the shop for 40 years and knows what the heck he's talking about. He walked me through all the options and the whole process and we customized a shell for my needs. When I had an issue with the shell later on he fought for me to make sure it was covered under warranty. Truly a standup guy and a quality local business. read more

I came in knowing the exact topper for my truck, with a competing quote down from Oxnard, and purchased from Steve for a slight up charge due to location. I was advised from a friend, with the same shell and Tacoma, to go to Oxnard instead, but after talking with Steve I was convinced it'd be alright. For starters, Steve placed some huge 3" flappy piece of door seal between the cab and the shell which vibrated like a bat out of hell at about 50mph, and I had to have him rip off. I thought after that it was all good, but I was wrong. If you never leave Santa Barbara, that may be the case. But nearly two years later, I now live in rainy Oregon, and my shell has been leaking like crazy. Currently waiting in the lobby of another store as they've removed the shell and are resealing it. They were quick to point out that basically everything was done wrong, poorly, or missing. Canopy was crooked (and had rubbed the paint down where it touch), wrong foam was used (not thick enough or wide enough), huge holes were missing right next to where he had attempted to seal. Maybe next time my intuition that a job like this should be done by a shop with a garage will guide me in the right way. read more

In 2020 I bought a bakflip tonneau cover on Steve's recommendation. I could have purchased it on line but decided to buy local at Santa Barbara Auto Truck Accessories. I have been happy with the Bakflip MX4. I noticed the rubber between the first and second panel starting to crack. I showed it to Steve. He took pictures and dealt with Bakflip and got a replacement cover in just over a week. If I had to try to get a replacement myself I don't think it would have been easy or with the same results. I am glad now that I bought local and from Santa Barbara Auto Truck Accessories. Thank you Steve read more

I had basically destroyed the entire Leer rear window attachment of my Tacoma shell, including the springs and frame, and had to order the entire new unit. First, SB Auto Truck Accessories was one of only two companies that even carried it. Second, he was the only guy who called me back, and clearly knew what he was talking about. Third, he didn't try to oversell me; he thoroughly quizzed me to make sure I didn't need just the springs or window or other smaller part of the unit itself before deciding I did indeed the entire unit. Finally, once the unit arrived, I had the choice of letting him install it or installing it myself. I'm still totally strapped of cash due to Covid, so I decided I would give it a go. In retrospect, I would have probably just had him do it, because it was a nightmare, but I wasn't at all unprepared for that. Steve went outside the back side of his shop and did a full tutorial on how to do it. As I'm listening to all the details, I'm thinking, "How hard could this really be; it's just two pieces." I will say now that EVERY SINGLE MINUTE DETAIL that he mentioned became a factor while installing it. I actually couldn't picture each detail until I was in there doing it myself. It was a very specific order of things that, had I not followed, I would have ruined the unit. On top of all that, I called him back twice to ask for advice. The second time I was totally defeated and prepared to bring in for him to install. He basically coached me further, and turned down money, to help me finish the job. Neither call back was all that quick; he took a lot of time to follow up, for free, and it really clarified things. So, I highly recommend this shop. I also had a wonderful chat with Steve and Lynn after I bought the unit. The are wonderful people, and straight shooters as others mentioned. If you want to be bullsh*tted and pampered and get it wrong, go somewhere else. If you want to do it right, go to Santa Barbara Auto Truck Accessories. read more

Steve is awesome! So easy to talk to it felt like I have known him for years! He is a straight shooter and tells you the facts, not what you want to hear to try and earn your business. My camper shell came in exactly when he thought, was installed right away and in a timely manor. He did not have his next install arrive until after I picked up my truck. I felt safe during this crazy time. His prices are great and he is LOCAL!! I will definitely recommend him to anyone needing truck accessories! Thanks again Steve!! read more

Always so helpful with knowledgeable information. I repeat their honesty and integrity when working on my truck!

Steve is a total straight shooter who made very clear all my options with hard shells for my truck. While I chose not to get a shell without saving up for the perfect one, Steve's advice was very helpful, and clearly geared to customer satisfaction over $$. He also installed a bed rug for me that looks/feels great. Thanks Steve! read more

Steve helped me find a good fit for a sunshade for my new car. He's quite direct, opinionated and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this mom and pop auto accessories store. They cram a lot of choices in their place and know their business. I'll back. Buy local! read more

Bottom Line; This is an awesome local shop I have been going here over the years for various different things. Steve is very knowledgeable about what works, what doesn't. What's crap and what's not. I bought a pair of expensive seats from him years and year ago. The covers had long been worn out and even though he doesnt even sell those seats anymore, he helped me get in touch with the company so that i could get new covers. Great spot! read more

I purchased a Custom LEER Camper that turned out better than expected, service and advice was fantastic. The camper turned out to weigh less than my old fiberglass shell and had more room. read more

See all

Love this place and the owners. Steve and Lynn were so helpful and friendly not to mention their cute dog, Freddy. I'll never order anything for my truck over the internet after coming here! read more

I wish I had another truck that needed a shell. The experience with Steve was personalized from start to finish. He knows his industry. He helped educate me on shells, encouraged me to look at other brands, and I came back and bought my Leer. The order was a bit tall as I needed the shell very quickly. Steve handled it like a champ and the shell was delivered on time. I couldn't be happier. Steve also installed my side step rails for my Tundra and they look great. Thank you Steve! read more

Steve and Lynne couldn't have made this a better buying experience. I love my shell. Everything was very clear and they worked with me for a while to get me exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I recently bought a truck cap for my 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 double cab. I was very pleased with the service and quality of work done by Steve on the install of the cap. I had ordered my cap about a week and half before Christmas and hoped to get it before my January 13th trip to Mammoth for some epic snowboard adventures. With all the days off for the holidays I was getting worried if it would be finished and arrive in time for my trip. Steve did a great job of staying in touch with the manufacture and letting them know the importance that I receive the cap before my trip. It arrived the day before I needed to leave and Steve said he would do whatever it took to get it installed and have me on my way. He normally does installs in the morning but made an exception to do mine in the afternoon right after it arrived from the delivery truck. He was quick to do his work and finished just in time before it started to rain on us. I love the quality by Leer and had an excellent trip to Mammoth knowing all my gear was safe and secure. Thanks for everything Santa Barbara Auto Truck 4x4. I'll definitely be back for future truck upgrades and accessories. -Nick read more

Was looking to buy a specialty ball hitch for my lifted rig. They had the supply unlike O'Reily's... But, the guy seemed uninterested in helping/selling me the product. Plus, outrageous prices! No thanks, bud! read more

Not just auto parts, but sheepskin seat covers and sheepskin-lined footwear. For years this has been my place to buy Aussie Dogs boots and slippers - far superior to clunky Uggs, although they carry them as well, and in all sorts of colors. If they don't have your size they are willing to order and mail them to you (if you're out of town)! This small business is really a very BIG business in terms of product availability and very courteous service. read more

Love these guys! Over the top great customer service, friendly, knowledgable and local to boot. Been a customer for years, always a super experience. read more

I've bought two shells from Steve and couldn't be happier with either. The first was a fiberglass with a more specialized lumber rack. It was a very tricky installation but he made it look and function perfectly. The second was an aluminum shell, a much simpler installation but again couldn't have been done better. Steve takes the time to really make sure you know what you are getting and that you'll be happy with it. He even let me help with the work which helps me be familiar with everything. Plus he and his wife are just pleasant people to be around. If anyone I know needs auto accessories, I always recommend this place for quality parts and friendly service. read more

This place is the absolute worse and if I could give it less then 1 star I would!! No wonder people rather buy online and not at Mom and pop brick and mortars. Sure the part I was looking for was a bit obscure but when you take someone's number and say you will call them don't wait for me to call you back in 3 weeks and say "oh yea you can come in and get it now." Finally don't tell me that you won't install the part and even if you would install it that you'd charge me $90 an hour. A simply sorry we are unable to install that for you would suffice. There's no need for backhand remarks. Also if you're going to run a retail business Monday-Friday 9-5 are the worse hours you could possibly operate. How do you expect people to make the money they wanted to spend at your business? Never will I waste my time at this place again. read more

Steve and Lynn are the best! Friendly and knowledgeable - great customer service! They really care about their customers. I highly recommend them. read more

Just a quick note to recommend Steve. He helped get a replacement tow bar overnight so the vacation was not ruined. Responsive and helpful. Give him a chance and he will deliver. Dan M. read more

Steve just installed my new camper shell and made it look easy. I got there at 8 and left at 9:30 and every thing was just as advertised. Steve and Lynn provided great customer service! I will be back. read more

Purchased a Leer shell for my Tacoma. Owner was very helpful in selecting the most appropriate shell for my truck and needs. Didn't try to oversell and was willing to beat competitive offers. Quick turnaround as well. Had my shell on a week later! Very pleased with the product and quality of service. read more
