    Lowered my car at a good price everyone was really nice. Thank you for the blessings.

    Good vibes good people. Love the service here I'll be bring my truck to rebuild my fox 2.0 suspension in another 20,000 miles. Off road warehouse is a little expensive compared to these guys. And they don't have Vivian. Go to SoCal trust me.

    Went to SoCal Suspension for my first lift (bds 4") and 35s on my Ram 1500. Eric and Chris were awesome! From the first time I came in to talk about options to the follow up retorque the provided exceptional service. Super friendly and patient with all my questions. All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely come back again. Thanks for the recommendations and great work, my truck looks awesome!

    Nothing but positive things to say about this shop. Eric was very knowledgeable, I called when deciding to upgrade my suspension on my Subaru Outback. I already had a spacer kit in mind, which he recommended researching a bit more and coming to a conclusion due to possible downsides of my original thought. After two weeks of research, I decided to go with the original suggestion he recommended. With no pressure of the shop. They slapped all the parts on after purchasing myself, no up cost because I didn't purchase with them. Everything is aligned and a solid professional install. Nice guys in the shop and they're all happy to talk about the job they did if you have questions. Definitely recommended, especially for Subaru owners where lifts are slightly less common. Thanks Eric and the crew!

    Added a 70% spring on the back to offset the weight of the shell and the camping gear. What a difference!

    Thank you Chris for your top notch service and help with the rear spring coil issue with my truck. This massively improved the handling of the truck. Excellent price, service, and work. Highly recommend. Will be going back for upgrades to the Ram down the road for sure.

    Great service! I got my truck fixed with new suspension, wheels and tires. Hassle free and speedy install.

    This iis the business to go to get your all your suspension needs taken care of. Wayne and the team went above and beyond to take care of me and my car. It wasn't an easy job but they kept me in the loop the entire time and I felt at ease that they would get the job done. Would definitely recommend SoCal Suspension!

    Shock from the passenger side that he said he "fixed"

Acknowledging me when I first came in, was a big plus for me. That is a lost art in customer service these days. As promise once he was done, we immediately went to my car. I let him know what was going on & what I had experienced. He explained there could be a variety of reasons, but stated he will look into it right away and advise me to sit in the waiting area while he checked on my tires. After a short while later, he came to me explain everything. He did such as adding air to my tires explained.Sometimes they fluctuate with weather changes and recommended a possible wheel alignment, if the problem persists. His patience and kindness with me stood out more than anything so I felt compelled to write this review

There were several places that I priced tires at before settling on Discount. Today I am glad I did. Not only were they the best price even over Walmart by $120. But they did NOT charge me for the proper rotation of the tires. Even the dealer only rotates from one side to the other. Discount diamond rotated them. I have after market wheels and they needed to unmount, remount and balance all 6 tires at no charge since I bought them at discount. It's worth the research.

American Factory Wheel diagnosed it correctly right away. Turned out I had two bent wheels and a third that needed balancing, and they repaired all of it expertly. These guys genuinely know their stuff. They're the real experts, which is exactly why they came so highly recommended, including by high-end performance shops that don't send people just anywhere. Darren in the front office took impeccable care of me. I was in and out in a few hours, and the waiting room made it easy, comfortable and with solid wifi so I could actually get some work done. One thing that stood out before I even walked in: the owner, Josh, posts great videos walking through the repair process. That kind of transparency builds real trust and confidence. You know what you're getting before you hand over your keys. If you've got wheel damage, skip the guesswork and go straight to American Factory Wheel.

After reaching out to several shops a few of them who couldn't do the repair recommended American Factory Wheel. I gave them a call to see if I could do same day even though it was afternoon already. The person who picked up the phone was very nice and told me the soonest would be the next day morning and I could book through their website. As soon as I hung up I immediately received a text with a quote and link. Booking through their website was fast and easy. Came in today for my 9:30am appointment and Darren helped check me in, drove it into the shop and within a few minutes confirmed the crack is repairable with a cash/card quote and about 2 hour turnaround. They finished at 11:20 just under 2 hours. Cost was $242 OTD with card. Easy, fast, great service, good price

Some understanding during our communication when I pointed out a price discrepancy. The Bad: Nickel and diming. I've been going to Firestones since 1999 and every location I've gone to just applies all the active, applicable coupons. No games. It's why I've kept coming back even though the prices have steadily gone up (it's gone up to $270!). This location did not do that. I bought 4 destination tires, which has a coupon for a $70 discount. Because I spent over $600, another $100 was deducted. Because I bought the wheel alignment, there was a coupon for a $40 discount. Total discount: $210. Josh initially applied only a $40 discount to the tires. When I showed him the $70 coupon, he was about to say something but ended up just applying the the $70 coupon. He then indicated that he applied the extra $30 off. When I picked up the car, I was told I would get an email with the invoice and Josh indicated again that the extra $30 was applied. The following day I called for the invoice and saw the invoice only reflected $180 off. I called Firestone and spoke to someone who put me on hold for about 10 minutes then transferred me to Josh. When I pointed out the discrepancy, he stated that he applied the extra $30 discount by removing a TPMS Valve Kit charge, which was $30. There was no reference to this TPMS Valve Kit Charge on the invoice. I told him that this was not reflected anywhere on the invoice and asked how a customer would know that there was an accurate deduction when there was no reference to this charge that was removed and instead said a $180 discount was applied. When I asked why he applied the $40 coupon instead of the accurate $70 coupon, he did not have an answer and just said he would send a different invoice to show what he did. Josh then emailed a separate invoice that looked like it was made on the spot that applied two "PRT-DISC Customer Expectation Discount (Promise not met)" discounts totaling $140 and the TPMS Valve Kit Charge for $28 ($7 for each tire), which was not discounted and therefore made the invoice $30 higher. I thanked him for the explanation but noted it caused me to waste my time because he never explained what he was doing in the shop or on an invoice and I, instead, had to call because it looked like I had been cheated $30. He replied that he hoped he would get the benefit of the doubt that he was being honest and I responded that this isn't a reflection of my thoughts on his character but no one gets the benefit of the doubt. We're strangers making a transaction, this is why invoices exist. He then said he had to do it this way because could not apply the correct $70 coupon because he had already entered the $40 coupon in the system and that he went above and beyond for me. I explained he didn't do anything more than he was supposed to do: apply the applicable discounts and accurately process the transaction. If we're being 100% accurate, he didn't do these things or even explain what happened until I called, which is why I wasn't happy with the experience.
