A little background. Short;y after purchasing a new Tacoma from Esco Toyota, I purchased a Snugtop camper shell 11 years ago from Valley Camper Sales in Esco. It came with a lifetime structural and paint warranty. This year (2026) the clearcoat began to fail and the red paint color was fading along the top. Valley Camper had since closed, and TE Motorsports is now the Snugtop dealer locally. To my pleasant surprise Jackie Ricardo, who sold me the camper originally, is now employed at TE still selling and servicing the same product line and likely helping with admin of the customizations TE does to other vehicles. Jackie willingly processed the warranty claim to Snugtop (now a part of the Leer Truck Accessories Group). Took a couple weeks, and Snugtop approved the warranty claim! She arranged a complete paint process with ACM Autobody and Paint also in Esco. That worked out very nicely all around. Thank you TE Motorsports and Jackie! Need a camper or repairs? Give her a call! read more

On my old snug top camper shell, one of the hinges for glass back access door broke. What a disaster! Thankfully I had some duct tape fasten it in place till I could find out who would be able to fix it. My Mechanic at Allans wrench suggested T.E. Motorsports and I'm so grateful to have found them. Jackie was able to set up an appointment for me to repair it quickly. Snug top is no longer in business but found the parts on ebay and got longer screws than the kit provided, at Home Depot. Her mechanic was able to easily fix it for me. I'm so grateful I can use my camper shell again on my old Toyota truck. They are the best. Thank you! read more

Amazing customer service. Quick to get an appointment. Got a great alignment on my jeep YJ by Richard at an affordable price. This place knows what they're doing- I wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend! read more

Was looking to have my RZR front differential repaired/replaced(leaks).) Travis was my contact. I also wanted a tune up. Travis said they drained the diff fluid, no visible chips. Refilled it without changing the seals or replacing the diff. Puddles of diff fluid in MY trailer & garage. Was charged $800 for fluid & filters. Won't be going back to TE. read more

I've only used their services once however I left feeling very disappointed. Was not given the correct information. The job was rushed and done sloppily. When I reached out via email the person who helped me never responded. I believe they are probably a good shop. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed by the service, the installation and the lack of responsiveness. For these reasons I couldn't recommend them. read more

Professional and friendly. Jackie went the extra distance to work through supplier obstacles with repairing my older SnugTop. I highly recommend TE Motorsports. read more

Jackie Ricardo is the best! I needed a new brake light and shocks for my camper. Shell on top of my truck. I live pretty far away, and these parts are hard to find. Jacky went above and beyond for me, and found the exact match for me. Not only that she personally shipped them to me now that's what I call going above and beyond. I will always recommend this place for any Snug Top parts! read more

TE has a fantastic staff. Finding a good automotive servicing center is hard to come by. The work they did on my vehicle was flawless and the energy of everyone there was a very uplifting energy. While you're waiting for your car, the couches they have are extremely comfortable and plenty of magazines Incase you want to read up on something. The bathroom is super clean and that's something I Very much appreciated. Keep up the high standards! read more

Super stoked that I reached out to TE Motorsports to add some coil-over Bilstein 5100's to my 2018 4Runner. Contacted Troy on a Monday, scheduled for that Wednesday, drop off was smooth, Troy kept me in the loop on adjustable height struts during the morning, and finished on time. BAM! Sweet front-end lift with all the confidence that they knew what they were doing. read more

TE Motorsports are a Authorized Snugtop Dealer and Jackie and Joe were very helpful finding the camper shell clamps that I needed. They were the only dealer in town that had them in stock! read more

I do not agree with writing negative reviews because it impacts everyone at the business which is not fair but in this case the Owner and Shop Manager have completely ignored the issue. I worked with TE Motorsports to order a camper shell for my truck. I was happy to pay the premium for a brand new shell $4200, as long as it was exactly what I wanted. Long story short I did a lot of my own research before contacting TE and was leaning towards a Snugtop Rebel. TE talked me out of the Snugtop I was told that they had quality control issues etc and that Leer was much better. I wasn't going to argue with the professionals, I researched Leer shells made notes and then reviewed specific details with a TE employee in person before purchasing. When I received the shell the specific details I had asked about in person 8 weeks prior were different, very disappointing. When I tried to have a conversation about it shop manager Travis said "sorry all sales are final there is nothing we can do". He seemed very short and angry and was unwilling to have any sort of rational conversation. Travis even said "I'll dispose that shell for free and you can buy another one". I emailed TE multiple times asking to please have the owner contact me but never heard back. Pretty wild how I paid top dollar for product that I was mislead to and when I try to have a simple conversation I'm told to kick rocks. I've since heard TE business is struggling which makes sense. Bummer to say anything negative because it impacts everyone at the company and I know there are good people there but I was very reasonable and gave many opportunities to try and come to some resolution but got nothing. read more

The quality of work is beyond amazing! Troy is very professional and has so much knowledge. He was patient while I tried to decide what I wanted. He sent me links to look at then I pulled the trigger on a sick build that I absolutely LOVE!! The technician was friendly like I'd known him for years. They are busy, heads up. Everyone wants their work done there, so be patient. But you'll be welcomed like family. Have fun! :) read more

Had them install the ECGS bushing on my Tacoma. It was fast and they had great service. I would definitely use them again.

I want to take a moment to share my experience at this place. I recently bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma which has a lot of aftermarket upgrades from Toyota Escondido. Hector (sales manager) sent me to TE motorsports for Warranty work. To address an issue I was having with the tires on my truck, since every time I turn the steering wheel, the tire rubs the inside of the wheel well and it kept hitting the fender flair. As soon as I got there, I had a bad feeling about the place. I talked to Travis about the issue I was having, and soon enough David did the wheel alignment to fix the problem. In addition to the problem I was having with the tires, I brought up other concerns I was worried about like the exhaust tail-pipe touching the rear suspension, but they said that I needed to schedule a new appointment for that and I just felt they were rushing me out the door. I waited for about an hour, and David brought my truck and he said that I was good to go. While I was driving back home, I noticed that the vehicle was pulling to the right and the steering wheel was off center meaning that was not straight center with steering column. Although the tire rubbing issue was fixed, I felt that the alignment was not done correctly, so I took the truck for a second opinion. When the other shop did the realign, I found out what TE motors sports did incorrectly. Basically TE motorsports in order to have the tires on my truck clear, they adjusted the camber to positive one and adjusted the toe. According to this second opinion shop, that alignment done at TE motor sports would cause premature tire edge wear. I went back to Toyota of Escondido and I spoke with Jessica (Customer Relation Manager) and I explained the situation, and showed her the receipt and she gave me a $150.00 gift card for the trouble. Since the alignment was done the way it should be, the tires continue rubbing. For this reason, I requested to get an exchange for smaller tires to fix the problem. After a week Hector ( sale manager) called me and he said that the exchange tires were approved and he scheduled me an appointment to go back to TE motor sports. I had to take a day off from work to go to the appointment, and when I got there Travis came up and he looked at the truck and I explained that the tires were still rubbing and I needed smaller tires, I also explained to him that the alignment was not done correctly. As soon as I started explaining why the alignment was not done correctly, Travis started getting very defensive and irritated, he said " I have a 100k hunter alignment machine, and you did not give me a chance, you should of brought it back to me again". My response was that the alignment should of have been done right the first time, and I said that the smaller tires were approved and that would solve the problem. I could tell that Travis was very upset and he said that he needed to make a few phone calls to go through the correct channels. After I waited there for about 30 mins, he said that he could not do the tires. Although the approval came from the sales manager department, Travis said that they were not approved. There was other issues that I went to Travis for, like getting the front license plate installed on the aftermarket bumper. Travis wanted to drill holes into the bumper, and I refused because it is an expensive bumper and I felt that was not acceptable. Also, he said that it would take half of day to make brackets as I requested, He told his Employee to make the brackets out of scrap metal . so basically he was just making up excuses and it was very clear that he was trying to avoid getting the work done. I mentioned that the truck is missing the skid plate, he said " what makes you think a two wheel drive truck comes with one? After this conversation with him I decided to leave and talk again with Toyota Escondido. My experience there was very disappointing. I bought a brand new truck and I was expecting that a brand new truck would work perfectly. I understand that buying a new truck might come with some defects, but the miscommunication between the dealership and TE motor sports was very unsatisfactory. I received nothing but poor customer service, and TE motor sports was not even trying to fix the problems. I don't recommend this place to anyone. I was treated poorly, and Travis attitude was awful. I think TE and Travis were aware of the tire rubbing issue before I bought the truck . The truck was at TE originally and Santiago told me that it was there because they were looking at the wheels and tires on the truck . With this combination the truck would never be able to be aligned correctly . the wheels had the wrong backspacing and offset, the tires were to large therefore that's why the wheel spacer adapters 1.25 inches where put on the truck That's why the truck was pulling to the right . The wheels will need to be replaced. Stay away from TE .You are better off going to four wheel parts. read more

The team at TE Motorsports is helpful and warming when entering their shop. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work!

Great customer service! Very knowledgeable! And very fair priced. Super efficient on time and the quality work is excellent!

I've come to TE motorsports with 2 different builds. The first one being a 2016 Tacoma where they added lighting, full King/total chaos suspension and an exhaust. The work was flawless. The next build was a 2017 tundra with a 3/1 Toytec lift kit, new tires and wheels. Once again TE motorsports work was flawless and they finished my truck in a reasonable time for a good price. Troy is the man to talk to here and he and his crew do a great job. There a go to place in San Diego for all aftermarket accessories ! read more

Put a new Snugtop shell on my F350. Looks amazing. Super friendly to deal with, and highly recommended. They don't just work on Toyotas either, they had Rams and Chevys in the work bays too. 5 stars. read more

Super impressed with TE motorsports knowledge of truck shells, snugtops , camper shells, whatever you refer to them as. I have an older shell that needed some sealing and repair and they fixed it right up. A lot of places only know how to sell you a shell but not how to repair one. TE Motorsports knew my shell well and what parts it needed. Shoutout Cameron for killing it! Definitely recommend these guys! read more

I had the pleasure of doing business with TE Motorsports today in having my SNUGTOP shell installed on the Tacoma I purchased recently. I started the process with an internet inquiry and was immediately responded to by Jackie Ricardo. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable about their products and explained the pricing and special offers available very clearly. Today, my shell was installed by a top-notch Technician, Cameron and they delivered a quality product, meticulously installed and with excellent customer support. THIS IS A FIRST-CLASS BUSINESS WITH QUALITY EMPLOYEES, EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AND PERSONALIZED SERVICE! I will be going back for my tint and some other possible upgrades/mods. A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH JACKIE, CAMERON AND THE OTHER FOLKS AT THEIR SHOP -- VERY PLEASANT, A GREAT VALUE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Dan B. San Marcos, CA read more

I was searching for a shop that could repair my SnugTop camper shell and called TE Motorsports after reading some reviews. I called and they were very friendly and answered my questions, then set up an appointment. I arrived for my appointment and they were very professional and provided me a fair quote. My truck was taken into the shop immediately and the tech worked on it promptly. TE Motorsports not only made the repairs correctly but charged less than their office quoted at write-up. Nothing extra added, no upsells, just very honest people. If you want to see how a shop should do business, then this is the place to see. My first time here but not my last. Everyone was professional and working hard to get things done right the first time and treat customers as the should be treated, which is a lost art these days. This is the place for your trucks! Thank you TE Motorsports for your service. read more

As a matter of public service, I wanted to provide the knowledge I wish I had before coming to TEMS to get a truck shell. First off, the experience with the staff was positive, except that I was sold a Snugtop shell that does not fit my truck. I am now apparently stuck with it, absent legal avenues. Specifically, I am speaking of the Snugtop fit on my 2019 Silverado. Word for the wise- if you have a Chevy (or GMC, I presume) truck, don't expect that the shell you would receive will look like the pamphlet. If you have either of these makes, seek to find other brands that are sold elsewhere and confirm that the fit is appropriate for your vehicle. From what I was told after my cash was in their hands, the Leer shells are as equally as misfit for Silverados as are the Snugtops. In the end, I paid $3600 for a shell that doesn't look right on my brand new truck. See for yourself in the attached photos. I wish you better luck with a brand not sold here at TEMS. read more
