Trustworthy Orange County, CA Car Shops?

Was referred to jimahajer garage and they said they would send me a quote, but it's already been a few days with no response, and no answer on the phone again. Not counting them out, but with no response- I have no other choice.

So looking for more options now of local OC shops with excellent reputation.

Thank you!

 

what are you trying to do service or lift, body work
if your looking to do after market things lifts, lights look up APG Offroad in Garden Grove they are awesome
for service look up AutoCare Xpress in Santa Ana great work and prices
Body shop Dynamic Collision they have 4 locations

 

Yeah looking for lift and new tires.

Great, let me check out APG Offroad. Thank you!

 

Not in OC, but I've used 88Rotors before (look them up on YT).
They did the lift on my 4Runner and was great. Clean work.

 

they did my lift, Matt is the manager nicest person to talk to good luck

 

So they going change the shocks and not the springs for $1500? God damn.

 

Yikes.
Not sure if there was a communication break down or what. That's too much just for 5100's.

 

Yeah, most places are gouging right now, i call it the covid tax. Read my sig.

 

Check out Kaizen Off Road in Huntington Beach, was referred there by another member and was super happy with my install and overall price. Sean the owner was easy to work with and answered all my questions.

 

How many inches of lift did you go with on ur 4R? Do you mind sharing any more pics you have of your rig? Thanks!

 

2.5

Look into Sibi Built for lift kit installs. I bought a full suspension kit for my 1st gen tundra and he did a clean job at a good price.
Going to get my Dobinsons full kit for my 4Runner soon with him until the UCAs arrive since it's been on backorder for 3 months.
Also, he does OV Tuning for the Tacoma, which has gotten solid reviews, but soon to have it for the 4Runner.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will need this info soon too.

Hey guys! Just joined the site to get more ideas on builds but I came across this thread. I took my 2022 4runner to Savant Autoworks in Los Alamitos and they did a beautiful job on my 4 runner! They installed my roof rack, set me up with tires and were able to beat other quotes I had gotten on my Dobinson's kit. I would definitely recommend checking them out, I found them on yelp and decided to give them a try after reading the review and looking at their other 4R builds on there instagram. They definitely took care of me and have had a couple of my buddies check them out too!

 

Did you not see this ?

He's in Long Beach area.

He just did (last week) 2.5's w resi and UCA's. 1/3 the cost of a shop, and you can learn something.

 

Theres also caliraised in Buena park

 

Love those coils. The are on my "to get" list. Unless I can sell my current ones. lol

 

For anyone else that finds this thread: I have used BAJA HQ down in San Juan Capistrano. I had the pleasure of working with Keenan, super cool dudes over there that just want to mod trucks.
They even went an extra mile to find potential buyers for parts I will eventually remove and sell. I went to them for a Wescott Designs collar lift installation - I was quoted at a few local shops in Buena Park and was quoted over 1200. Baja did it for about 400 dollars cheaper.

 

Go to shops for alignment?

Or can any tire place do that? Lift kit with K02 tires

 

Never used them before but their reviews are great and a few ppl have recommended them. I inquired about alignment beginning of this year thru yelp and they knew what they were talking about. If I didn’t have lifetime with Firestone, I’d prob use to them.

Thanks for the referral!

 

I just had a great experience at Miyaki Motorsports in El Monte, which is still Los Angeles but close to OC.

The rate they did my Full Suspension (F/R + UCA) install for was 50% of what other shops had quoted, and it included alignment!

 

How much the cost to do it?

I ended up going to 88 Rotors. They got me in and out in 1 hour and 15 mins. Charged me $750 for suspension and UCA.

Felt like it was totally fair for how fast they got it done on a Saturday. Highly recommended

Need some alignment suggestions. The place 88 Rotors suggested is all the way out in Glendora and I'm in Venice.
