Superior customer service and great work! Brought the truck in for a few issues with the suspension and beat tires and ended up doing a full on facelift by adding new rims & tires as well as total suspension change. Worked with the Henrik, Cortney and Sierra diligently to complete this transformation in the best way possible and the results?...looks and drives fantastic! The amount of care and respect this shop has for its customers is barnone. They provided excellent communication, patiently addressed needed tweaks, honored warranty covered work attentively & promptly and also made numerous unprompted followups post-service that really exemplifies the values they stand for. Really happy to have found this wonderful group of humans!

Henrik and team are awesome. They helped us deliver the best Christmas present ever and they worked around the clock and outside normal hours to get it done. We picked up a new Jeep Wrangler four days before Christmas and the team at World Famous met us on a Sunday (when they were closed) to drop it off, ordered the parts and had it ready for a special pickup on Christmas Eve when they were closed. I've had Jeeps since 1985 and Henrik and team KNOW what they are doing. No haggling, no up charges, no BS... straight talk, good recommendations and quality, on time work. I've made the mistake of going to the chain places like 4 Wheel Auto Parts and was always dissatisfied and felt ripped off. Never again. Got the bumper and winch on before Christmas and already setup to go back for the KC light bar and new tires and wheels! Don't waste your time. Feel good about calling Henrik. Tell him what you want and he will get you a straight answer on how long and how much.

Top notch crew! Excellent customer service by Henrik and his staff, specifically Sierra and Courtney. I just had a wheel/tire and suspension upgrade done with Icon Vehicle Dynamics Suspension level 2 with billet UCAs. Also got Icon Alloys Rebound wheels wrapped with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/75r18. The truck rides like a dream with absolutely no rubbing. These guys are the best at what they do! Highly recommended!

I went with World Famous 4x4 to purchase and mount Method wheels on my 2025 Ranger Raptor. I also had them install a light bar that required removal of the front grill to install. Service and communication were great. Overall good experience-- I will go back soon for more mods!

Excellent and fast work. I ordered an aftermarket exhaust for my truck and the people I ordered my exhaust from did not include exhaust tip clamps. The owner Henrick went out of his way to order me clamps that arrived the next day. Something he didn't have to do but did anyway. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I'm very pleased with everything and I have no complaints. All around amazing work.

World Famous 4x4 completely exceeded my expectations. From the start, the owner was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. I'm not a suspension expert, but I did enough research to have the conversation -- and every recommendation he made was absolutely spot on. It was clear he genuinely cared about how my Jeep would look and perform, and that it represented the quality of his work. Communication was excellent from the first email. Once the parts arrived, they gave me a two-day estimate. When I dropped the Jeep off, the lot was packed with vehicles waiting -- yet mine went straight into a bay immediately. Then came the surprise: I got a call later that same evening saying the Jeep was already finished. They even offered to deliver it to me that night across Los Angeles. That level of service is rare. All expectations were not just met -- they were exceeded. I'm not just a happy customer, I'm a walking advertisement. If you're looking for 4x4 work done right, this is the place.

Nitto Trail Grappler Tires and a TerraFlex Delta Big Brake Kit

Nitto Trail Grappler Tires and a TerraFlex Delta Bake Kit were exactly what my Jeep needed to traverse Death Valley during the heavy rains and subsequent mud early this January. The quality of service was a breath of fresh air compared to dealing with some of the chain off road shops. The moment I walked into the lobby I was greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered my questions and quickly began processing my build. As I was waiting the owner Henrik spoke with me about my build. He was super cool and recommended the Nitto Trail Grappler Tires over what I had originally intended on purchasing. After the Death Valley trip I am glad I went with Henrik's recommendation on the tires. Super cool shop with competitive prices and an overall cool vibe. World Famous 4x4 is the place to go.

I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU. I got a 3.5" Clayton Premium Lift Kit with Teraflex Falcon Shocks and Metalcloak steering components installed. These folks know their sh*t. Super knowledgeable and fast turn around. Not the cheapest show in town but well worth the piece of mind that your rig is dialed when you roll out on the trail.

I had a cracked rim on my sequoia. After welding it twice and the crack coming back I decided to shop around for new rims. I spoke with Henrik. He was very helpful and honest. He recommended a few styles. Once I decided in the rims they were quick to order them and were very responsive to any questions. The entire staff is really friendly and helpful. He will also be doing a lift and rims on a first gen tundra I have. They were very patient with me getting quotes and changing them a couple different times, to make sure I was happy. read more

I found this place after calling several 4x4 garages. Henrik at world famous 4x4 was the first person I spoke to who didn't: 1. expect me to have mechanic-level knowledge and speak to me like I'm supposed to know everything about this field. And 2, didn't speak to me as though they were annoyed that I had called them and I was bothering them. Henrik gave me his time and insight, and he earned my business. When I got there he explained everything, gave me a rough estimate so there would be no surprises, and he did a great job on my truck. When I came back to pick it up I had my son with me, and he gave my son a shop T-shirt and spoke with him about trucks and school. His price was reasonable, his work was great, and his attitude was awesome. I'm so happy I found them. I have 3 trucks and I'll be bringing them all to him from here on out. And, if you like older trucks, his shop is like a museum. He's got some of the coolest trucks on his lot and it's a lot of fun to just look at some of the beautiful/classic trucks he's working on. This is a trustworthy company, and I'd recommend them to anybody! read more

This place offers top quality service. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I contacted them to get an estimate for a lift kit installed on my Subaru Forester and they got back to me very quick with a complete breakdown of everything. I dropped off my car with complete trust that they would handle everything properly. I picked up next morning and couldn't have been more satisfied with their service. I'm definitely going back when I need more work done on my car. read more

If you love your 4x4, don't come here. i requested a service that they install a part on my jeep and they completely botched the cuts. the owner was extremely confident and boastful about how good of a job he had done, he looked and me in the eyes and said it looks perfect. hilarious. anyway, customer service was OK, the people working the back are inexperienced; and novice at best, if this is what you give back to your customer, whom you charged a whopping $2000 to install this bumper. what a joke! i will never bring my car within 100 feet of this place and will NEVER suggest anyone of my off-road buddies to come here. this place is obviously a money grab and there's no passion going into your 4x4. 0/5 stars. read more

After speaking to him and his staff I knew my bronco badlands edition would be in good hands with them when it came to suspension and wheel and tire set up as well as lighting and other mods. The end result is exactly the way Henrik said it would be and the original quote never changed. Highly recommend them for all your Bronco, Jeep and any other car mods. read more

Bought a new 6" lift kit for my GMC Sierra. After looking around for a while for a install shop I could trust, a good friend referred me to World Famous. Made an appointment & brought my truck in. After talking to Henrik and seeing the shop, it was evident I picked the right place. Henrik & the crew took care of me and did a killer job installing my lift. The truck ended up needing more suspension work such as new arms & other components which they handled instantly. If you are unsure what setup you want, they can hook you up with any aspect as they do it all. Tires, Rims, Lift Kits, etc. Will be coming back when its time for new shoes on the truck! Thanks World Famous! read more

I choose World Famous 4x4 to install a Dynatrac EnduroSport 2" lift on my 2019 JL. They were extremely professional and communicative though out the whole process. The parts came in and they immediately had me drop off the jeep and installed and aligned in a day. They even dropped my jeep off at my home when I was in a pinch and could not pick up because of work. It's not going to be the cheapest place to have work done in your 4x4, but it's more than worth the little bit of extra cost to have full confidence in the quality of work and service of a business. Can't beat a free T-Shirt ether! If your thinking about using them to work on your Jeep, just do it and you'll be happy you did. read more

The whole team at WF 4x4 (Henrik, Harry, and entire staff!) are not only world famous but world class! Their professionalism and expertise is second to none and I am incredibly lucky to be just a few miles away from there at their HQ in SoCal. Needed to get some rock sliders on the landcruiser as well as a skid plate and wanted to ensure my cruiser would be in the hands of knowledgeable staff. After all, these are critical parts when you're overlanding or rock crawling. The office staff was super helpful, scheduled me an appointment, and was on top of everything. Install was quick, efficient, and perfect. Worth mentioning: if you're in need of anything 4x4- this team has your back. Doesn't matter if it's a Jeep, a Landcruiser, a Chevy, Ford, or Nissan! They have the know-how and experience to handle it all. Thanks World Famous 4x4! See you again soon! read more

I had just bought a new Jeep and wanted to start doing a few upgrades. I saw the YELP reviews for World Famous 4X4 and since they were local, I drove there to see what they were about. Met Henrik, the owner, whom I felt is as genuine and knowlegable as they come. Told him what I was looking for and we began the process. Since I just bought the Jeep, I wanted to start slow so we went with some rockslides/step ups. Henrik told me that Rough Country made some nice ones for a reasonable price so I ordered those and scheduled the install which went quickly and smoothly. Very happy with the work along with WF 4X4`s staff professionalism. Will definitely upgrade some more stuff that Henrik recommended! read more

Henrik and his crew did great work on my 1991 VW Syncro Vanagon. There's a lot of American 4x4's getting improved over at World Famous 4x4, but they are willing to work on any 4WD vehicle. My van has a more powerful than stock engine; so, the drive shafts kept breaking, and the rear drum brakes weren't braking enough. To remedy that, the shop installed rear disc brakes, stouter drive axles and CV joints. They cured a driveshaft/suspension interference problem which other shops had only made worse. The other shops I went to returned my "repaired " van with the same problems I had asked them to repair, or even new problems. Henrik test drove my van before returning it to make sure the work was done right to his high standards. read more

Well, I can definitely see why this team here has such a high rating. It was time to upgrade the tires and lift off the stock Jeep Gladiator tires we had worn down and I wanted to get some advice on the best way to go. We talked over the phone and then went over in person to talk to Hendrik. He spent time with my wife and me to figure out what would be best for our needs and budget and gave it to us straight. He also took the time to share some other things that were important for us to know as our vehicle was approaching 50k miles. We got the parts in right away and the truck was in and out the same day. It was a miracle because we headed out to a camping trip the very next day. Would highly recommend and looking forward to going back to scratch that Jeep modification itch. read more

Here's your TLDR; These guys know Broncos as if they hand built each one that was made and were part of the entire engineering process. If you have a Bronco (or any other off-road truck) there's really no question about it, World Famous 4x4 is the BEST shop around. Full Review: These guys know anything and everything there is to know about Broncos! I had wheels already to go and I reached out to Henrik to see what their rates are like to install the wheels and a lift. I didn't have a lift at the time, so he hooked me up with a great price with one of his vendors and it saved me a hefty amount, it would've cost me a lot more based on the prices I saw while I was looking around for one on my own. But here's why I would recommend them and have been recommending them to everybody: Henrik gave me so much information on the Broncos that I had no idea before (and after doing my research on forums and online, he was right on the money). Told me about a squeak that happens after a 3" lift with the broncos, the fix was control arms which NOBODY had with less than a 6 month wait... but Henrik hooked me up with one in less than 2 weeks! He also told me that 37" Tires don't fit on the back for the spare with the stock equipment, so we got that taken care of as well. Lastly, he informed me about a common issue with the Bronco's after a lift, which has to do with the steering and requires an upgrade. As if all the information wasn't enough, he did the job perfectly, extremely quick and clean (I got some lights installed as well, no wires hanging - everything was done precise) read more

Up to this point in my life, I have always done my own suspension work including installing and tuning coil over suspensions in various cars and Jeep's I've owned in the past. This time I decided to save myself the time, swearing, and bloody knuckles and take it to professionals. A friend recommended World Famous 4x4 and after checking their reviews, I decided to give them a shot. I've been on Yelp for ten years and the amazing service I received at World Famous 4x4 finally inspired me to leave my first review. I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma and had recently put slightly bigger wheels and tires on it causing the tires to rub the wheel well. I called Henrik and explained the situation and after discussing my options, he scheduled me for a Bilstein suspension lift install and alignment. I arrived at the scheduled time and the shop was ready to go. Henrik kept me updated regarding the progress and the truck was done exactly when he said it would be. World Famous 4x4 staff were great and Henrik knew the answer to every question I asked. I have put a few hundred miles on the truck since I got it back and I haven't had any rubbing, noises, vibration, or clunking of any kind and the alignment is dead on. I highly recommend Henrik and World Famous 4x4 for all your 4x4 needs and I will definitely be going back when it comes time to put on rail sliders. read more

Heinrich very knowledgeable. Our initial discussion was about the dreaded Jeep Death Wobble. He offered several helpful suggestions. We settled on upgrading the axles and moving towards fully 4x4 to get better use and increase value. Backorder/shortage was slightly inconvenient. Henirich and his team were responsive usually same day with updates. Repair date scheduled and I had Jeep delivered, it was ready while I was away on business. The 4x4 team kept it safe til I was able to collect. Overall very good experience. Will be back soon for check up and 2nd phase of upgrade. read more

Came back for an exhaust, aftermarket front bumper, and winch install. Perfect install and again even better customer service.

Dr. Wheel is on the lower side of the equation. The other thing, they come to your house. Say what? Got me wondering how solid of a repair we were looking at. Well, once I dug into the process, saw that the work is warranted for a year, I figured I'd give them a shot. First, we had them do two aftermarket wheels which relatively minor damage. The result was pretty incredible. The wheels looked good as new and honestly, I couldn't remember where the blemishes were . Months later the wheels looked great. Today, we got four wheels on my wife's car done, all with curb rash to a varying degree and the result was great. The challenge today wasn't the damage, it actually wasn't super complex or extensive. It was the color. From the factory, the color is pretty unique, but the Dr. Wheel team got it pretty much exactly. A special shout out to Jonathan, who came out to our house twice and did a great job. Friendly, professional, thorough, and just an all around solid dude. Not that I hope to get more curb rash on any of our wheels (nor do I wish that for you!), but if we do, we will definitely go back to them. We've already referred them to a few neighbors.

So I am Driving down the Golden State #5 freeway at about 60 MPH. My Jeep hit one of the many potholes in the bumpy construction stretch of the road in Burbank. All of a sudden the car started vibrating so bad I thought that a wheel came off. I managed to pull over and get off the freeway only to find that everything looked intact. After consulting several friends with jeeps, I learned that I had experienced a common equipment failure that has lovingly become known to jeep owners as the "DEATH WOBBLE". I called Glendale Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep whom I had purchased the car from. I purchased the extended warranty but it covered only the drive train not the equipment involved with Death Wobble. My odometer read 73581 miles. They did agree to fix it if I paid for the parts. It was on Jan 28th,2015. I do not drive the jeep much, except on vacations and never off road. After a couple of months I went on vacation and found that I still had the dreaded Death Wobble. My son in law looked under the car and found lose bolts on the steering dampener which they had replaced. The Glendale Dealership again replaced the part, this time at no charge. Another couple of months and another vacation and another terrifying Death Wobble Experience. I had now lost faith with my jeep dealer and became desperate. Last summer I went to a customer appreciation day with a valley called Company 4 wheel Parts #15. I called and asked if they could fix my problem. The guy said yes, just bring it in and we will check it out. I made an appointment and took the car in. My odometer read 75360 miles. I had traveled 1,779 mile since my original service call for the problem with the Glendale, Chrysler and Jeep Dealership. Before I tell you what happened , a short side story is necessary. My son had bought a new jeep last summer and gave me his new spare tire when he upgraded to a larger size. Also my spare tire had never touched the ground. The 4 Wheel Parts #15 service manager explained that they would charge me $114.00 to check the car out and that the charge would be applied to their bill after the work was done. I happily agreed to pay the amount since I wanted the Death Wobble to go away and they seemed to have the answers. In addition I told the man that I had a new tire in the back seat from my son. I wanted to buy two new tires for the front of the jeep, and have my spare and my son's new tire placed on the back of my jeep in addition to having the death wobble corrected. They took the car and my wife took me home. The next day I received a cheerful call from the 4 Wheel Parts people. Good news, there was nothing wrong with my car. My ball joints might be a little loose but not worth replacing yet. Yes, my car was good. I said, but what about the Death Wobble? He said he could not find anything wrong with the car except maybe my tires were worn. He said maybe that might be the problem.. I said that I had asked them to sell me two new ones and mount the extra ones that I brought to them on the back. He told me that he could only sell me 4 new tires because the others were too old and that he did not know if new tires would solve my problem. I said so you are telling me I paid you $114.00 for you to tell me my car was fine and that you cannot guarantee the death wobble would be fixed even if I bought four new tires from you. He said yes that is true. I realized that these people were almost as inept as the Glendale, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep people. I paid the $114.00 extortion money and retrieved my jeep. God finally smiled on me, I discovered World Famous 4X4 via yelp. They had many favorable reviews. I called for an appointment and dropped the jeep off. They were certain that they could find my problem and fix it. The owner name Kendrick boasted that they have fixed hundreds of jeeps with the same or similar problems. I believed him because there were so many jeeps, trucks and off road vehicles in their shop, I knew they had to be successful at what they were doing. They agreed to mount my two tires and to sell me two new ones with no problem. The next day they called and I picked up my jeep. They upgraded and replaced a tie rod, tire rod ends, a moog drag link, removed and replaced old steering components, aligned my front end, mounted, and balanced my tires. While paying my bill, they gave me a shop tee shirt with the World Famous 4X4 logo. I drove home over the same bumpy Golden State 5 freeway that started the problem. When the CHP was looking the other way, I drove over the bumps at 70 to 75 miles per hour with no hint of the Death Wobble. As I was typing this yelp review up this morning, Kendrick even called me to follow up and see if I was happy with their work. All I can say is "THANK YOU KENDRICK AND WORLD FAMOUS 4x4". read more

I came to World Famous 4X4 with a very unusual request... I'm in a wheelchair and, of course, I use a ramp to get in and out of my van. For reasons I won't get into, my particular ramp was designed and built by my dad. It is a custom, one-off creation, and I can't go to the typical wheelchair van type place for repairs. Recently, an idiot, paying NO attention to the road in front of them, drove into my ramp as I was putting it up, and then they drove off. The ramp was completely ripped from the van, smashed and demolished. I was desperate and panicked. I took it to World Famous 4X4. Henrik, and everyone else there was EXTREMELY helpful and kind. I know that most shops would have taken one look at something like my ramp and said, sorry but I can't help you. They wouldn't want to touch it. Henrik said, "Anything is possible." Using the manual my dad created, and their own hard work, genius and skill, they rebuilt my wheelchair ramp, and it is like new. I assumed it would take over a month, because of the complexity of the ramp, and the customization of it. They knew I relied on my van as my only means of transportation, (I can't just rent or borrow a car, or bum a ride from a friend.) and they took that into consideration and worked VERY FAST on it. They had it back to me in less than three weeks, and most of that time was taken waiting for an ordered part. Not their fault. They were thoughtful, and paid attention to my very specific needs. They worked well with my insurance. They even replaced my windshield that had an (unrelated) crack in it. I didn't ask them too. It was NOT part of the service request. They just did it because they cared about me, and wanted to help. Again, I know 99% of the auto repair - auto body - custom shops wouldn't have even dared to touch a fully custom, complex mechanical system, that is my wheelchair ramp. World Famous 4X4 took on the challenge, and did an AMAZING job. They saved me! Thank you EVERYONE at World Famous 4X4!!! read more

Ok let me start by saying Henrick is the man. So I took my truck to a fee places and kept getting diagnosis that were not only incorrect and expensive but a waste of time. Terrible experience after terrible experience with all these people in la who "knew" how to fix it and guaranteed prices ect only to leave me time and time again with a bill and them saying they don't know how to fix the problem. Smog issue in this case. I suck it up and bring it to world famous even though I know it's going to cost a little bit more at least these guys will know EXACTLY what to do and I should've just went there first instead of trying to be cheap and use people who don't have the knowhow. I take it to Henrick after a couple of days he calls and tells me exactly what's wrong with it and how much it will cost to fix! Oh and also he doesn't want to charge me for looking at it. Finally someone in this town who is on the level and a decent person who you can trust with your truck. I'll gladly pay a little bit extra knowing that he is doing the correct work professionally rather than have these other jokers guess and not get it right anyway. Complete waste of money. Jeep medic is a joke, the other shops I won't even mention and on and on trying to save a buck if I had just went there first it would've been done right away and saved me tons of days / money ect. All n all these guys know what's up and I won't go anywhere else. Feels good to have a mechanic you trust in la... Very few around for 4X4's. Good luck out there. I read more

I recently had the opportunity to take my wife's Santa Fe to World Famous 4x4. I spoke with Sierra about 6 months prior and she was genuinely eager to help me out with a labor quote. She spoke with the suspension manufacturer and recommended services that would provide us a complete package. The best part... She followed up. I've called other businesses and no one ever gets back to you. I could tell from this initial interaction that World Famous 4x4 understands the importance of providing excellent customer service. One just has to look through all the reviews here or on Google to understand why. The day I dropped off the wheel and tire package, I interacted with the service techs and I could tell they were a tight-knit group. Happy employees are a byproduct of great leadership and I had the chance to speak with the owner, Henrik, when the vehicle was done. Henrik not only lives, eats and breathes the off-roading and overlanding community, he takes the time to explain every benefit to a customer regarding a recommendation. No matter how big or small the job might be, he wants you to have the best possible experience. We ended up talking about all sorts of topics, just like a friend you've known for years. I have a feeling World Famous 4x4 has a lot of repeat customers, not just because of the quality of the work, but because of the relationships they've built over the past twenty-five years. Thanks World Famous 4x4 for everything! read more

Most other shops would have said something along the lines of "sorry man, these parts didn't fit, figure it out and come back", but not this amazing place. Henrik and his awesome team custom made parts to make things fit. Also, shout out to Sierra, the amazing gal at front desk, she was super helpful and kind the entire time. Second, I didn't realize how expensive labor was going to be to put everything on, and Henrik was nice enough to negotiate with me at a price I felt comfortable with. And he didn't have to do that. What a solid dude. Third, they really know their stuff. I was really impressed with their level of knowledge. This is clearly the culmination of 30 years of passion there's no denying it. I feel like this is starting to sound like a paid advertisement but this is genuinely how I feel about this shop, you won't be disappointed if you come here. Not one bit. I will 150% be coming back here. No doubt about it. Whoever reads this, I hope your build is every bit as epic as mine is. And if you choose the right shop (hint hint), it probably will be. See you next time Henrik! read more

I live in NY and was in the market for a box style Chevy P/U. I managed to find a '87 Chevy, California truck, at a small custom shop in PA. While the sale went fairly smooth, upon trying to register the truck in NY, I discovered that there was an issue with the paperwork trail and NY wouldn't register my new truck. It seems that the PA shop never transferred ownership of the truck after they purchased it. After my rather uncomfortable visit with the NY DMV, I called the shop in PA and explained the situation to them. I'm just going to say that they seemed less than enthusiastic about helping me resolve my situation. Thankfully, World famous 4X4 had been the original purchaser and seller of of my truck, and their end of the paperwork seemed to be in order. I gave Henrick a call and once again explained my situation. Henrick remembered this particular truck and was more than happy to help me out of my situation. Keep in mind, this is now over one year after Henrick had originally sold the truck to this PA shop! There is alot to be said for a shop that is willing to help out a person that technically wasn't even their customer! Needless to say, I would recommend Henrick and World Famous 4X4 to any one, on either coast, if they're in the market for a vehicle or just looking to get some quality work done on their toy. read more

As much as I do enjoy tinkering around with my classics (my BABIES), I guess there's a time in every man's life when he's got to put his pride aside and reluctantly put his trust in the hands of another mechanic to take on that big job you've started but don't quite have the time, (or know-how) to complete. Willingly handing over the wrench to another man and asking for help is not something i'm sure that most men are never really quite comfortable with. . .But to put it lightly, these guys have made this "transition" a VERY worthwhile process. I'm actually glad that I had to find utter disappointment a handful of times with shoddy work or devious business practices of several other local shops previous to stumbling upon GM Truck Center. I otherwise, would never have found this place. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" is a great rule of thumb to live by when investing in your own one-of-a-kind projects, when anything short of perfection is NOT an option. When considering the magnitude of such COMPLETE satisfaction with their unrivaled quality of work, workmanship, trustful business ethics, reliability etc., that Henrik and the guys have provided me with from day one, I don't believe i've ever "got what I pay for" the 4 or 5 times we've done business...I got MORE! Thanks guys! Truly the ideal! read more

I was looking for a trustworthy 4x4 place in Burbank, and what I found went above and beyond. Hernik, Jake, and the rest of the crew took great care of me and my Jeep. I needed a simple cargo rack and not only did WF4x4 get me a better price than direct from manufacturer, but they installed it cleanly, professionally, and the thing is SOLID. The labor cost was exactly what I expected, industry standard. The customer service was great. Jake called and emailed me nearly everyday to keep me posted on the research and the best deals. Hernik is one of those no BS kind of retailers. He's one of those guys that understands respect and trust are important in business, particularly in the auto industry. So first, he'll take you on a tour of the entire facility so you can see for yourself the quality. Every worker there was courteous and professional. And the work speaks for itself. Walking around looking at the custom jobs, it's clear this crew knows what they're doing. It's obvious they have assembled a team passionate about off-roading and bringing out the full potential in every vehicle. I have big plans to return here and if you're looking for something as simple as a cargo rack or as in depth as an undercarriage overhaul, this is THE place to go. read more

I decided to take my new Jeep Wrangler JLU into World Famous 4x4 for some wheels, tires and a lift and I'm glad I did. I did a ton of research looking for quality off-road shops in So Cal and out of the dozen or so I reached out to, nobody made me feel more comfortable than World Famous 4x4 and that's why I chose them. The amount of knowledge and expertise these guys have are unreal. Not only do they restore older Jeeps, Trucks, Broncos, Land Cruise ect they are up to date on the most modern 4x4s and the their aftermarket products as well. They had modified and lifted tons of Jeeps, old and new, Gladiators as well and that's the main reason I brought mine to them. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of work and customer service they provide. They steered me in the right direction with setting me up with the Mopar 2" Suspension lift, Black Rhino Wheels and Nitto 35" Trail Grappler Tires. I'm so glad I went with their recommendation because my Jeep turned out just the way I wanted. All I did was leave a deposit for the parts and 2 days later I my appointment to drop my Jeep off and they had it completely done at the end of the day. I would recommend anyone with off-road needs to contact World Famous 4x4 in Burbank. read more

I have a 78 Pontiac that I plan on fixing pretty much from the ground up. A few months ago I was directed to Henrik and his team who came highly recommended from a few smaller shops down in Hollywood who didn't have the space for such a project. I was immediately put at ease talking to Henrik about what I want done to the car. Not only was he more than capable of detailing several different directions on getting the car where I want it, he was also eager and happy to discuss said options (something I didn't expect to be an issue with all previous shops I approached). Those who have project cars and no means psychically of fixing it themselves can appreciate the relief and excitement of finding a shop you trust. Last week I needed to bring my car in for some silly issues it was having. I could have taken the car to any number of shops in and around my neighborhood, but I took it back (22 miles) up to Henrik and his team at World Famous 4x4. That's how good these guys are at their job. They know what they're doing, and they love the work they do. A golden combination which is hard to find in this city. If you've got a car that needs some good work done to it, look no further! read more

Outstanding Service and Product at World Famous 4x4 - Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of getting a Bestop ETop installed on my JL Wrangler at World Famous 4x4 in Burbank, CA, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. From start to finish, it was a smooth and professional process. Henrik and his team were fantastic--knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I was looking for an easy way to enjoy an open-air experience in my Jeep, and the Bestop ETop was exactly what I needed. With just the push of a button, I can now go from fully enclosed to open air in seconds, which adds so much enjoyment to my driving experience. The convenience and quality are absolutely worth the investment. The installation was quick and seamless, and the team at World Famous 4x4 made sure everything was done to perfection. I'm very pleased with the results and the overall service I received. If you're looking to upgrade your Jeep, I highly recommend the Bestop ETop and Henrik's team at World Famous 4x4. They really know their stuff, and their customer service is top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back for future upgrades! Brian. read more

I am from Utah and I am trying to build up and restore a 1972 K5 Blazer. I gave World Famous 4x4 a call hoping that they could give me some direction and some advice as to how I should build proceed. I have seen numerous Blazer builds online that were built by this shop and knew that they would be the experts that I would need to talk to. Questions like: how big of a lift would look good? What wheel and tire size would look good? Engine and transmission swaps? Steering setups? I left a message and my phone call was promptly returned by Henrick. Even though I am not from the California area and cant buy directly from World Famous 4x4, Henrick spent the time to go over the build with me and I never felt rushed throughout the phone call. He gave me valuable information regarding my build and even let me know that I could call back with any questions along the way. This company has some of the greatest customer service that I have experienced. If I were in the California area I would not hesitate to use World Famous 4x4 for all of my needs. Thanks again for the great advice and thank you so much for your time! read more

My son has a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. We have had a lot of work done by other retailers that put on cheap parts that broke when he went off roading. I tried world famous 4x4 and they were great. I met with them in advance and Hendrick took over an hour explaining what was good and bad work to do on the truck. When I had the money, I called him up and he remembered my truck and made an appointment to do the work. He said he couldn't get me in for a week and we made an appointment. All the other places I went told me they could get it done and they would keep the truck much longer than promised. Hendrick and his team were professional . They gave me my truck back when they said they would and explained in detail what he did at an extremely reasonable price. My son even went back to learn how to program the chip for his car. Hendrick took the time to train him so he could do it himself. I have more work to perform and I will only take it to world famous 4x4. When you are lifting and modifying trucks, I learned the hard way that you must find someone to trust. Hendrick is the guy. read more

Took my 2015 ram 1500 ECODIESEL 4x4 for a 3" body lift to them for installation. It is a new model (2 years out). Called 4 wheel parts and a few other 4x4 install places. All said it was to new and there was no body lift for my truck. Spoke to Hendrick (owner) on phone and made appointment for install. After meeting the techs and Hendrick, we agreed on price with a handshake and they installed the kit. WOW !! I receive compliments all the time and still have the stock rims and tires. I will go back to them for all my truck needs !! I would just like to EMPHASIZE how in this day and age where customer service is a lost art, there is a place and employees that look you straight in the eyes and keep their word with a hand shake. If you want the real deal and are sick and tired of all the BS like I was, give them a shot. Dont be intimidated by the celebrity PICS on the wall, because Hendrick and his crew treat you with dignity and respect. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH ANY ONE ELSE... P.S. THIS MY 5TH RAM, 4TH 4X4 AND 3RD DIESEL TRUCK. So I am well experienced with 4x4 shops. read more

First time doing a build for my company and the experience has been phenomenal. From the beginning, Henrik's attention to detail and clear interest in my brand has made the investment a no brainer. I left the vehicle (Jeep Wrangler JL) with World Famous 4x4 during a short trip I was taking to get the initial work done and arrived home to find it completed on schedule and its visual appeal far beyond my expectations. The best part....I have now driven more than 2,500 miles on the new lift kit (In under 2 weeks) over flat and rough terrain and everything is still perfect, exactly how I received it. Steering is still tight, alignment spot on and drives better at high speeds then it did stock. The vehicle is getting constant comments and attention already which was the whole goal. I really can't recommend Henrik and his team enough for their work and customer service. If you want pros working on your rig, definitely would recommend the World Famous 4x4 team. Thanks for the fabulous work guys! -Kevin Greco President North America Sled Dogs Snowskates usasleddogs.com read more

We just got our 2010 Ford Raptor back from World Famous today and what a relief it is to finally trust the work that was done We have had a heck of a time since we purchased this truck and got royally screwed by Santa Monica Ford service dept. It is so hard to find a good and upstanding mechanic anywhere, especially in Los Angeles but here it is!! I am so happy and grateful that my boyfriend found these guys and gals. The entire staff is like a family and they all know their stuff. Every one of them is knowledgeable and kind. Our truck is running great now and I couldn't be happier. I know they stand by their work and they know what they are doing. Finally some competent people in the trade! I can't wait to bring my 1983 LandCruiser in! My prayers have been answered and though they are not the cheapest on the block, the value of this company far outweighs the small extra cost. You get what you pay for and I found World Famous 4x4 to be quite fair. Just knowing that you are in good hands is priceless! Thank you team WF 4x4, we look forward to being a part of your fam! read more

Hi, my name is Steve Starleaf, owner operator of the Burbank Tennis Center since 1993. I just picked up my 2025 Jeep Wrangler, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience at World Famous 4x4. Please feel free to come look at my jeep anytime you want. From start to finish, Henrik made everything so smooth, was incredibly professional, and genuinely exciting. These people KNOW Jeeps. The staff was super knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what they do. They took the time to walk me through every feature, answered all my questions, and made sure the Wrangler was set up exactly how I wanted. No pressure, no games,just straight-up great service. My 2025 Wrangler is an absolute beast. The build quality, attention to detail, and overall vibe are unreal. Whether you're planning to hit trails, cruise the city, or do a bit of both, this place makes sure you drive away confident and hyped about your vehicle. If you're even thinking about it World Famous 4x4 is THE place to go. Five stars all day. I'll definitely be back for future upgrades and service. read more

What a blessing in our gorgeous City of Angels! I am so intimidated to bring a vehicle to any shop for my desires and after hearing from another girlfriend this was a safe shop I had the gall to visit and I am so glad I did! A hidden treasure in Burbank, World Famous 4x4 treated me so well I will be coming back for sure! They email all estimates and invoices, are flexible with pick-up times, and always figure out a way to manage my budget for all my projects I share with my husband! Their entire waiting lounge is posh with comfy leather seats, multiple features of many of their projects over the years, photos of the staff with Hollywood celebrities that have also come for service! They even have wheels from Black Rhino to show for upgrades and comparisons! Take advantage of our guardian angels at World Famous 4x4! We all are so fortunate to have them helping us off-roaders out when we need it. ;) By the way, for all the mommies out here: they have a bathroom big enough to fit your kids! read more

I searched for a long time for the right 4x4 shop. Most places cater only to high-end project builds, and aren't interested in the average 4x4 enthusiast needing general maintenance. This place stands apart in that regard. I had gotten a 4x4 Jeep that needed some work to get it back and running correctly again, nothing fancy or glamorous, just general maintenance. The work was done timely and correctly, and leaving with peace of mind is well worth what you pay to have your offroad vehicle serviced here. Henrik and his team are simply the best at what they do, giving realistic cost estimates and providing a level of customer service not found at other specialty shops. I have gone back twice to have additional repairs done, and Henrik even remembered me and my basically stock Jeep! When I went they offered to shuttle me to work, but I work close so it wasn't necessary, but it was a classy touch. I won't hesitate to return here for additional work or upgrades. read more

I had a budget that I was working with to do some upgrades on my jeep. I presented what I wanted and the budget I was working with to three 4X4 businesses. World famous 4x4 was the the only one that said they could meet my needs. During the upgrades I was informed that my front brakes were in need of a complete overhaul. I was allready comfortable with the company due to the service I received at the front desk. I aproved the repair of the brakes. The jeep was finished within the time frame that was promised. I was very pleased when the final bill was only $200.00 over my budget. (That was less than the bids I got for just the origional upgrades at other shops.) They replaced the rotors, pads and calapers at COST due to the fact that they allready had the vehical torn apart Gota love the crew at World famous 4x4!! Special thanks to Kimberly, Jake and Henrick! (and Who ever worked on my Jeep) I get compliments on it allmost DAILY! Thanks, Kirc read more
