Huge shoutout to SOS Customz for their excellent work! I accidentally jammed the zipper on my Jeep's convertible soft top and even pulled some stitching loose around the window--definitely not a small issue. They not only fixed the zipper and restitched the window perfectly, but also went the extra mile to repair a few other small rips they noticed. It's hard to find businesses that take that kind of pride in their work. I really appreciate the quality, attention to detail, and care they put into the repair. Highly recommend SOS Customz! read more

Here are just a few photos of the work performed after an 8 1/2-year "restoration." I'm honestly heartbroken at how this all turned out. This car isn't just a car to our family. It has history. It was given to my daughter-in-law for her 16th birthday, and her parents drove it all the way from Kansas to San Diego to return it to her. As avid classic car lovers, it meant a lot to their family, and eventually it became part of ours too. For a few years it sat in our driveway, and I decided it deserved to be restored properly so it could be enjoyed again and continue its story. I was hoping that one day it would be passed down to my daughter-in-law's boys -- my grandsons. So I trusted a professional shop to restore it. Instead, the car sat there for 8 1/2 years, and I paid about $52,000, believing we were bringing this special car back to life. We finally got her back on March 1, 2025. Within weeks it started leaking fluids. On June 16, the driver's door latch failed and the door flew open while I was making a right turn. Then on July 1, the headliner fell down. From there, it's been one disappointment after another. After nearly nine years and $52,000, the car now has about 50 miles on it and is not even driveable. It's incredibly painful to realize that after all that time and money, the car appears to have been returned to us with substandard workmanship. What should have been a really cool classic car ready for the next generation is now something I can't even safely drive. All I wanted was to someday hand the keys to my grandsons and tell them the story of how this car traveled from Kansas to San Diego and stayed in their family. Instead, this is where we ended up. It's just really sad. read more

So, with all the different projects they do, SOS was the only place I could think of that could handle carbon fiber work for my RS3. I live all the way in Ventura County, so knowing SOS is super creative, I just wanted to get it done right the first time. The manufacturer didn't put enough clear coat on, so that was one thing I had to fix. Then, the inside of the trunk was a mess -- it was missing all the holes for the wires and tail lights, but luckily, the guys on install day had no trouble fixing that. Also, I asked Robert from Rspec to do a clear PPF on the trunk. It was perfect because SOS Customz and Rspec wrap are kinda in the same family. Plus, Rspec's just starting out, and I wanted to give them some support. Overall, I'm super happy and excited to finally have the carbon trunk installed. Saul was super supportive and helped me throughout the process. The price was pretty reasonable, especially with the clear PPF. The guys at SOS Customz and Rspec totally crushed it! read more

I was referred to SOS Customz by a friend. I owe that friend dinner!!! From my first call to the shop, Robert handled my Insurance claim for repair to the drivers side back quarter panel and trunk, with negotiation instead of totaling my car, as it is a 2000 Lexus ES the team repaired and painted it beautifully they exceeded my expectations. I love my Lexus and I know this car has more years. SOS Customz restored its beauty. You can trust this team. This shop does special and unique restoration (Art) work to cars, their upholstery work is amazing too. If you love classic, retro or electric conversions you will enjoy visiting this shop to see what they can do for you and your vehicle. I am so happy with my experience I will bringing a 97 BMW Z3 for some needed paint restoration. read more

I spent over $30,000 with this shop back in 2020, and the work I received was nowhere near the quality you'd expect for that kind of money. When I recently took my car to another shop for a wrap, they discovered multiple areas that were never even painted. Is it really that hard to remove a license plate or radio antenna before spraying? The "custom" trunk setup I paid for was just as disappointing -- instead of properly building an enclosure for the subwoofer, they simply cut a hole in the wooden flooring and dropped it in. No wonder the sub kept blowing. To make things worse, when I dropped the car off for body kit repairs, they left it sitting outside with the windows open. A cat got inside and urinated all over my interior, costing me thousands to fix the smell. After all of this, when I tried to reach out for answers, I was blocked on social media. For the amount of money I spent, I expected professionalism and quality. Instead, I was left with cut corners, poor craftsmanship, and no accountability. Save yourself the headache and avoid this shop. read more

My 2019 Ford Escape was ready for some body work. The drivers seat needed an upholstery upgrade and the front right bumper that was badly scratched needed to be buffed and repainted. The guys did a fantastic job on both, and in one day. My car feels like new! I'm coming back to them shortly for a mechanical issue and have full confidence that this will be fixed expertly as well. How many shops do it all? Upholstery, Paint and Mechanical. I highly recommend SOS Customz! Saul and Oscar are also good, solid people. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but the excellent service I received inspired me to share my experience. I drive a 2022 Nissan Frontier for business, and after a major accident, I knew I'd be without it for a while. I first went to a body shop I won't name, as I don't think it's ethical, but from the start they seemed a bit shady--refusing to give me a free estimate for insurance purposes. Somehow, they convinced me to let them inspect the damage, and before I knew it, my truck felt like it was being held hostage due to my lack of knowledge in these situations. A week later, they quoted nearly $11,000 for repairs. I declined the work and told my insurance company to just cut me a check for that amount. After looking around, I found SOS CUSTOMZ at 2954 San Luis Rey Rd, Oceanside, California. The owner took just minutes to assess the damage and give me a rough estimate. Bottom line: never accept the first estimate, even if it comes recommended by your insurance company. SOS was fair, kind, knowledgeable, and worked with me to ensure quality, safe results. read more

Saul was awesome to work with, truly a genuine guy and definitely I felt comfortable with the whole buying process. He took care of some issues with the car to make the deal and went above and beyond. Would buy/ or get paint work with SOS customs again in the near future! If you're reading this rest assure they're legit as it gets. read more

Quality work. My job wasn't automotive, but rather reupholstering of an office chair. It's so hard to find a good genuine leather office chair these days, so I just shopped around until I found my ideal bonded leather chair, then had Customz upgrade to genuine leather, and had them build up the padding a bit. Best choice I've made in a while. Rather spend more upfront on a genuine leather chair that's going to last 10 years, than spend a couple hundred every year on crappy bonded leather chairs that starts peeling after a year or two of regular use. I feel like I'm spending about the same amount of money, but never worrying about having a chair that's embarrassing to have behind me on a Zoom meeting or in front of guests. I was concerned that because the chair itself is a cheap Staples office chair, Customz may have a hard time replacing materials that were maybe glued in place rather than being attached in more traditional ways with an expectation of reupholstering at some point. But nope, the chair looks amazing, and I'd never suspect this isn't how it came from the factory. My secondary focus after leather was also building up the padding in the seat, because that was the only part of the original factory setup that I could tell was not done well. Came out great and so far I've been able to spend a full work day in the chair without any discomfort. I know that wouldn't have been the case with the padding that came installed. Thanks, guys! read more

So so happy I went wi try SOS Customz for my body work Fenders got unfolded and messed up after I drove my car when I had it aird out on the ground and they were able to fix it without buying a whole new fender like other shops quoted me to do. But the amazing service was when I picked up my car and they had basically detailed the whole car, interior and exterior, even getting dog hair out of the interior just wowed me. Sarah at the front desk was amazing, got me a quick appointment and car was in and out in 3 days. Thank you guys and i highly recommend them read more

SOS Customz is the best around. I dropped off my Lexus CT200H that had some damage to the passenger side fender and headlight, along with the front bumper. They were able to paint the new fender to match my car within my budget, as well as cleaning up the front bumper and replacing my headlight. I was able to pick up my car after two days and i'm thrilled with the results! Their team is incredible at what they do, and made me feel comfortable and confident in the work they did to my vehicle. read more

These team at SOS did great work and went above and beyond what was expected from them. Vehicle: Nissan 370Z (project car) Background: Broke my front right suspension and after insurance recommended I take it to caliber collision who declared it a total loss (attempted to replace entire car instead of just damage related to the accident). I went to SOS who made sure they didn't exceed the total loss amount to keep it a clean title. They actively went back and forth multiple times dealing with State Farm to not total it (Sarah is amazing, thank you so much). The level of respect and professionalism my vehicle and I received was unparalleled. The repair work was also completed ahead of schedule and quality was top notch. It's clear that they prioritize customer satisfaction above all else, they told me multiple times that "we work for you not the insurance company" which was a relief to hear. I wholeheartedly recommend this auto body shop to anyone looking for top-notch repairs, especially for a Nissan 370Z. Special thanks to Sarah, Saul, Oscar and any other members of the team I didn't personally meet. read more

After doing a lot of research, I took my VW Bus restoration project to SOS Customz and could not be any happier. Oscar and team did a full interior resto complete with a new custom bench seat, all new cushioning, wood flooring, headliner and amazing upholstery work. SOS is certainly best in class. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and really care about the customer and quality of their work. Always keeping me posted on their progress, they completed the project within a very timely manner and met all of my expectations. Thanks for the amazing work, look forward to working with you guys again soon! read more

Excellent work, excellent service. They replaced convertible top on my Toyota MR2 Spider Sport & I wish I had taken before & after photos bc it was like night and day. Took just 1 day from the time parts were received to completion. It's a family business, Saul is great, fully explains everything, and judging from the performance cars around the shop that they are customizing and/or restoring, their expertise knows no bounds from body work to upholstery to mechanics. Highly recommend. Especially as a single woman, I felt very respected and treated fairly. read more

I was in a minor accident and needed repairs on my WRX. From the beginning, Sarah was very welcoming and communicated that the shop was super busy, and that it would be a couple of weeks before they can start working on my car. Needless to say, the good people at SOS Customz took really good care of me and did a great job of repairing my car. In addition to my accident repairs, I also got some work done on the roof of my car, which was damaged from the sun. They also paint corrected and polished my WRX to get everything to match as close as possible. There were some scratches on my emblem from the accident, and my insurance refused to pay for a new one, but SOS said they would order me a new one and have it mailed it to me. The amount of work done was reasonably priced, and the quality was definitely on point. Next up on the mod list is to get a lip for my WRX and if I decide to get it painted, you already where I'll be bringing it. read more

So one of my head lights went out and I came here because they're close to me and the reviews were pretty good. So first thing is this place is busy which tells you that they're doing a great job otherwise it would be slow or dead. I needed a headlight for my halo and Saul was able to find the exact color and get the light the same day. The price was fair but I also thought it was going to be a few hundred but nope. The next thing I'll do is have my cabin lights changed out and yup guess where I'm going? You guessed right here at SOS! I'll have Oscar tell me what else I can do to my ride so maybe in a few weeks I won't even be able to recognize my car. They do great work here at SOS!!! read more

I had an accident recently with my rx8 basically a tin box now . So I take it fix auto and the ladies there were just rude. They gave me weird looks and everything . Yeah I remember you blonde and brunette lady. Well they didn't take it in because the car didn't start and an employee there )can't say his nickname because privacy but you know who you are) recommended me this place, SOS Customz. He said that they would take care of me and they did . The same day I took the car over there I noticed that they did overlook the cars with great care, they were super nice and very patient. The funny thing is that the next day the car didn't start and they still did the job. Saul even did more than he had to with the car and I appreciate him for that. Thanks sos Customz! read more

I found SOS after googling Auto Upholstery. The positive reviews gave me a sense of comfort and I reached out. Let me say that all of the reviews were spot on. Saul and Sarah head up this family business. They were outstanding communicators from the beginning. They reupholstered my Porsche Cayenne S, Ceiling liner, front seats and one back seat. Sarah spent as much time with me as needed to pick the correct colors for the headliner on the ceiling and vinyl colors for my seats. The liner colors came back a little lighter than she expected and that we chose. I told her to match up with another color as close as she could because I trusted her. She nailed it. Everything was done A+ quality work and on time. I also ended up coming in to the 21st century with a new Stereo Saul recommended. So far it's been integrated well and It's working as advertised. I did notice my airbag light has appeared on my dash and we'll need to figure that out. It's not often one comes across a business that offers a great value, customer service and integrity. I highly recommend SOS Customz! read more

SOS is THE go to shop in Southern California! I had a huge project and vision for my 1991 Honda NSX. SOS took on my idea and absolutely killed it! They customly molded a front bumper that wasn't made for my front end but made it work, it looks so good it looks like the bumper was made for my front end. Not to mention, they installed a whole new body kit AND repainted my whole car within a month! I also recommend them for reupholstery! Finding floor mats for my RHD NSX is very difficult. So what SOS did for me was they made brand new floor mats using my old floor mats as a template. Once again, they did a stellar job. SOS Customz will always be my go to and I highly recommend this shop. The workers are always welcoming and provide the best customer service. Thanks again for the hard work SOS Customz!! read more
