Each time I get a new car, Automod is my go-to for window tint. They do a phenomenal job with quality film (none of that nasty aged-torn purple tint after a few years) and I would go as far as to say they are the best in the AV when it comes to that. I've gone to them with my first 1991 Acura Integra to fix the A/C, tint, radiator, battery, and equip a better alarm system- all priced at a crazy bundle STEAL (And I needed that as a broke college student). Not only are they reasonably priced, but they get the job done quick! Very happy with my numerous experiences here and have infinite gratitude for Noel and his workers for serving the AV for 20 years. I've referred many of my friends here and they all have nothing but good comments on the service, price, and experience. If you need ANYTHING done related to your car, and I mean that- Automod needs to seriously be on your radar. read more

Noel took his time to help me determine which car security system would be best for us. He was super hospitable and personable. Noel genuinely wanted us to get the best theft prevention features for the best value. We are so happy and have peace of mind knowing our car now has GPS tracking with LoJack enhancement, a kill switch, speed alerts, and geofencing features. I can 100% say that I would recommend Noel and his team at AutoMod. The installation was done clean & professionally with nothing in sight. read more

Noel and his business is absolutely incredible! A true one stop shop and remedy for any issue you will ever have! I am so thankful I ran into this man and his wonderful team and I am looking forward to years of great business ahead! read more

I originally came in for a brake change and upon their inspection they told me my ball joints were bad. They replaced my brakes and not even 30 minutes later my caliper falls off my car because the mechanic was too incompetent to put the caliper nut on the bolt. My caliper fell off my car while I was driving and locked up in place. These mechanics could have killed me. This shop used to be good but I'm pretty sure the owner hires anyone off the streets to keep employee wage low while he keeps all the money. The owner lied to me about my ball joints being bad, I pressed the issue with him saying "why did you lie to me about my ball joints being bad" He ran through mental gymnastics saying "upon first inspection they were bad but I checked them again and they were fine" I said "well if they were fine then why did you try to take my money" He just kept saying "I'm in the right you're in the wrong" Don't come to this auto-shop if you care about your vehicle because they definitely only want your money. read more

Business is not professional with this company, I am a very reasonable person but you do not handle business in this way. I went to get an amp, radio, and wiring service from this shop, was told he would have to check all components to see why it was acting that way and should be about 2 hours and he would update me. Vehicle was left around noon. No call that day so I contacted around 5:13pm to see and no answer. Received a call back and was told Hey I was going to call you but we are still working on it, give me until tomorrow I will update you. I said fine, next day no response until the middle of day when I text and asked what's going on. Was told what the problem was and need a whole new amp, wiring and so forth. I said fine and authorized the work to be done. Still no vehicle until the 3rd day I text in the AM any update no response few hours later we are still working on the backup camera few more hours this was at 1:30 or so. By 4:15pm I say I will be there to get the car because I have an appointment, and I will bring the car back if not done when I get there. He tries to say give him until 6:30pm but that did not work for may schedule. I show up he and his team is still in the works and wires are everywhere, stereo system hanging out the dash board, cigarette butt smashed on the driver side floor(I smoke Marlboro lights with a white tip in the photo it has brown tip not mine) and needle nose pliers are inside the frame of the hood. Which I was not aware until I made it home and went through his work. I even left him a few hundred dollars so he felt comfortable that I would bring my car back the following day after my appointment to finish the work. I noticed a lot more issue after coming back from appointment the following day and on my way to drop it off, I discussed how I felt this was not right and they obviously was getting over suspected of joy riding in my car I believe and have 2 scratches and ding with the same color paint on the fence they claim the car was parked everyday. We go back and forth and finally says he will give me a free backup camera and bring the vehicle Monday. I text Monday morning no response, so I had the vehicle done in 4 hours from another shop, and then received a text mid afternoon claiming he was sick and to bring the following day. I simply said its already corrected and asked for a refund. without agreeing he says he will see me tomorrow, so I'm under the impression I'm getting a refund when I make but no he has me come there to get his $40 dollar amp he left in the vehicle and the needle nose pliers, I said no money first and tried to basically take it advising his son to reach in my car and get the pliers. There is more to this that I could detail better. But I am taking this company to court and if anyone else has experienced service similar or worse then mine let me know because I will turn this into a bigger case and go after his company big time. I work in the legal field so I'm aware of the endless possibilities. read more

I can't stand businesses that lie. You did NOT do what you said you did. I was never shown the cat converter to see the debris you are talking about. You ordered the part right in front of me, within 10 minutes of talking to me. You had someone verify the code and ordered the part right then and there, without taking a look at anything else. You stayed in front of me the entire time. Also, for the VSA light, not VSC as you state, you had me leave the car for one more day and you "fixed" it, but not really. Don't lie. Admit your mistakes and learn. I would have hoped you learned something from my review and fixed your issues. I guess you didn't. read more

This Shop is EXTREMLY knowledgeable, Noel is very customer service friendly I have taken my car to several places here in California to have mods put on and this place blows them all away... very fair pricing... great customer service... Noel even lent me his car to drive while he worked on mine... Now how many places does that? ... I would Definitely recommend this shop for all your automotive needs. read more

They tinted my windows on my BMW M4 a while back. They did a pretty good job. The only problem I had was a little bit of water that comes through a window seal. Other than that the window tint never came off and it remained in great condition. I will be bringing my next car here. read more

After reading reviews and the business statement from owner Noel, I requested a quote to install a rear sway bar (that I provided) via Yelp. Noel replied with a bid that was very fair. I called him on a Saturday to discuss details of the installation and to schedule an appointment. Fortunately a suspension technician was available to complete the install that day and I brought in my vehicle. From afar I witnessed the technician (Mike) carefully placing the auto lift arms to the proper jack points underneath my vehicle. Although he was very familiar with installation of the sway bar, he scanned the installation instructions and verified that all hardware, end links, and bushings were included. Swift and with confidence Mike began the installation, it was obvious he had experience with suspension systems and double-checked his work. After Mike completed the task, both he and Noel showed me the finished sway bar installation. Clean and simple, done! Noel spoke with me several times during my visit providing me with great customer service, personal attention, and a sincere interest in my vehicle modification goals. Before the install I witnessed Noel completing a final check on a tint job. He scanned, wiped inside and out all windows tinted, and wiped down all surfaces that had tinting solution overspray. He then went over the all work completed with the owner of the vehicle before handing over the keys. Noel has been in business for decades, its refreshing to see this level of customer service in any industry. I have a few other interests for modifications on my vehicles, I will definitely return to Noel and AutoMod to help me execute these visions. A well deserved FIVE STARS!!! read more

If you're looking for an all in one place with great customer service and fair pricing then go to automod racing...Noel is the most fair and honest mechanic I've dealt with. Highly recommend. Thank you Noel! read more

Had my car Stereo installed. Was told would only take a few hours. It took all day! I explained just how I wanted it done both to the clerk and then to the installer. After hearing nothing all day I called them. "Will be ready in 30 min" I was told. So right before closing? I headed over and was sorta rushed to pay without seeing the job. I was uneasy but excited to see the finished job. So I paid the $225 and hurried out to see my car. I first noticed the bits of cut wire and tape and general trash leftover from the job all over my seats and floor. Then I saw the install! It was horrific. A real butcher shop quality effort. The install kit didn't fit and there are gaps on nearly every side. My stereo is a flip up and was installed right below my ac controls display. Opposite of how I told them several times. Once the radio is on it blocks the display. This was a crackhead install complete waste of money! I spoke with staff and they told me "No refunds"! Honestly, I didn't want this clown installer messing anything else up on my car by attempting to "fix" the job. Later it only got worse. I noticed part of my dash was completely cut in half. Simply "floating there not attached at the top. It moves if the touch to stereo or ac controls. Drive over a speed bump or hit a pothole and the stereo sometimes turns off. Turn the car off sometimes it comes right back on sometimes miles later. Do yourself a favor STAY AWAY from this nightmere shop! Go someplace else!!! read more

I've been really impressed with the folks at Automod Racing. I just bought a 2017 Camaro SS and am really glad I went here. The only reason I'm writing this review is because of their great service and knowledge the team there have shown. Window Tint, and K&N cold air intake! Price matched me on the Air intake and discounted the install. Super job. read more

Great job on my tint for a reasonable price and the service/ customer service was excellent

First time visiting this place and I was kinda scared to get my car worked on here because I don't trust a lot of people with my vehicle but Noel and his team got my car fixed and helped me every step of the way and telling me all my issues with my car and the DEALERSHIP didn't even tell me and Noel team found issues that the dealership didn't and gave me a cheaper price the what the dealership quoted me and just was very happy with the out come I highly recommend these guys for sure read more

This is part of LA tint. They do a good job of tinting. But Nowel is a scammer when it came to fixing cars he is vary dishonest scamed me out of money that I paid to get a rebuilt engine and transmission. Had to take him to court won the case and will never go to him for car service again. Be careful when getting work done at his shop. read more

Noel and Jack helped fix my broken headlight. Took it to my local dealership and they wanted to charge me $300 for a whole assembly. Automod figured out what was wrong and found it was a wiring issue with the bulb socket. They fixed it and it's good as new. I also upgraded my halogen bulbs to LEDs. Reasonable price and they are always making sure I'm happy with their work. I will probably upgrade my headlights to Halos next and will see Noel and Jack again. Thanks guys. read more

Thank You Noel and Crew!!! Thank You for transforming my little CRX into super clean runner!

Best place in the AV for tint. Every time I get a new car this place gets a visit. Work is always flawless and competitively priced. In 10 years of being a customer not a single one of my cars has had so much as a bubble. And even if it did they warranty their work. See you in a few weeks Noel when I add a new addition to my garage read more

I had ac installed and they continue to charge extra fee's and don't guarantee their work. I paid for work and it wasn't done correctly and they attempted to charge for there mistakes. read more

I took my car there to resolve an oil leak issue. After about a week they called me to pick up my car. After taking it on a test drive I jacked the car up to see if it was still leaking. To my surprise the leak was still there. I took the car back and told them about it. They lift up the car and clean up the leak with brake cleaner and told me there was no leak. I kept my cool and told him that there is still a leak and you cannot fix it it with brake cleaner. So, he told me to take it for another drive to see if it is leaking, so I did, but before I took it back to his shop I lifted my car to inspect for leaks. There was lots of oil leaking. I took it back to him and he lift the car once more and called me after he cleaned it with brake cleaner and told me there was no leak. I insisted that there was still a leak and told him I paid him $500.00 to replace the power steering pump (which, I don't think that he replaced it, because the the pump still looks old and dirty and he couldn't produce the other pump) which was supposed to be the cause of the leak. He kept my car for another week and told me I needed to have the head gasket replaced. I told him that I do not think so, and told him to return my car. I received my car back with the cover for the engine missing. In my opinion, this is one of the worst shop I ever dealt with, period . read more

Noel the owner went ahead and corrected the problem. He gave me a full refund along with talking to the manufacturer and solving the problem. A great businessman that truly cares for His customers. read more

So I posted a review and received a personal message from Noel that reads....... Hello Brianne, This is Automod Racing. I would like to know what made you angry about my company. I would like to request you to call me personally about this matter and hope that we can make it up to you for whatever we had caused this to happen. I would like to understand the cause and reason for this incident. I will do everything to help you. So please call me @ (661) 729-8877, Thanks, Noel My reply to him was this ...... I would absolutely love for you to make it up to me. I would like MY money back!!! You took advantage of my son, my mother and MYSELF by " claiming" you fixed my son's Subaru Rod Knock and replacing his brakes among other things that WERE NOT NEEDED of replacement. You told me the old parts and brakes were thrown away. Well you and I both know that was not true being my cousin came in and got the parts himself. I am currently getting the car looked over by a real professional, not a crook as yourself, and they are listing all of the things done to the car that your invoice says you DID and with that list and the parts that I have in my possession, I will be taking them to court as evidence, along with quite a few other things. I have also gotten in contact with a very MANY unhappy customers you have cheated and stolen from as well. I am more than equipped with what I am needing for my lawsuit. So with that, you can choose to pay me back the $8,000.00 I paid or let the court decide what are to owe me. I am sure this is not your first lawsuit either. I look forward to your response. And now.......I'm blocked ! Hmmmmmmm guess he really doesn't want to make things better read more

I had been driving for two months without a radio...wasn't quite sure what the issue was...I finally got a day off to get it checked...read yelp reviews about Automod and set the appt. I was in right away! They fixed all of the issues...I had blown my speakers and my radio needed an upgrade (I had long known that)....A couple of hours later, I was back in my truck with a working stereo! It has a great quality and makes my old truck feel like new again! Loved dealing with everyone there. Highly recommend. Sending friends and family. read more

Very pleased, we took our older Corvette in for speakers and really just could not get the system right the prior owner had installed. AutoMod walked us through and did a FANTASTIC job all in one day as well as tinted windows very fair pricing and quality work. I have passed this on to several Corvette owners. Lancaster California. read more

My buddy told me about this place. Noel gave me a competitive quote for window tint on my new car. I compared it else where and he was the better deal for the best quality tint. I will be back for other services. They also do complete auto repair. read more

This is my go to place for anything my car needs. They work on everything and do great work. Highly recommended. You deal directly with the owner , and he is straight forward with his prices. So there are no surprises when you pick up your car. Also if there are any problems with their repairs they will fix it ASAP. read more

I shopped a round for the best deal in town for ceramic tint which supposed to be the best tint to date. Everybody else quote me around $320 - $340 to tint my Prius. Noel the owner of this place give me the price of $290. He was very friendly and easy going. When the tint was done I had notice some bubble. Noel assured me that those were just water bubble which will go away in few days. He was right, the next day the tint looks good. They were still some stretch of little bubbles on my rear window which bothered me, he fixed it right away and its all good now. Noel truly cares about his customers satisfaction. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Really good pricing/fitting time most places quoted 5/6 hrs and here they were done in 3 for a full install. Helpful and friendly with a good choice of stereo parts. Will be going back for body work and would recommend anyone to at least Bob in and have a talk with them. read more

Came here to get the engine in my 2008 Dodge Charger RT rebuilt or swapped out. Got a quote for 3800 for a partial rebuild or 4800 for full rebuild and was told it would take 7-10 days, yet he kept it for 26 days. After giving my approval for a full rebuild Noel who is the shop's foreman decided to save the shop money on my rebuild and transfer my used pistons and lifters into the engine he was "fully rebuilding". Yet he still charged me for a full rebuild. He wouldn't allow me test drive the vehicle until I fully paid. He over charged me $96.60 for 3 parts which should've been included in my rebuild and a broken dipstick (which was intact when I dropped my car off to them). 20 minutes after receiving my car, I experienced the same problem (hard start, misfire and knocking). After another 10 days of having my car, I was told that they found metal pieces in my car and they wouldn't be honoring my 1 year or 12k miles warranty even though I only drive the car less than a mile. So after paying $4896.60 I was told I would have to take my car else where to get fixed. This guy doesn't tell the truth and tries to milk his customers for every dollar he can. CUSTOMERS BE AWARE!!! read more

I got my windows tinted and my headlights adjusted at Automod. The tint job was sh*t with dirt and air under the film. Fortunately Todd at Preferred Window Tinting hooked me up and fixed the problem...should've just gone to him first. My headlights were supposedly 'adjusted', but were damaged and looked worse than before after Automod worked on them. I was also going to have some engine work done. They quoted me $600 and had me leave my car there for 2 days. I was informed that the engine needed more work, and that it would cost $10,000, or that they could put in a new engine for $3,300. Automod will overcharge you, and they do not have good customer service skills. Do not go here! read more

Went to Auto Mod to get tint for my wife's new BMW. Noel and his staff took excellent care of me while I waited for the car to be completed. Ashley made me feel right at home and offered me a cold beverage while I waited. Installation was very high quality and reasonably priced as well. Noel pays very close attention to detail. Car turned out great! Check out the pics of my car on their facebook page. Very happy with the tint. Thanks guys! read more

Had my windows tinted here originally a few years back . The fronts ones removed and replaced by them a few times because of California laws. Quality of work was OK even though last time whoever did the removal of my front tint was smoking while he removed the tint. Flash forward to today had my girlfriend call and ask if they warranty all their tints (even though I was told when I had the windows tinted they had a lifetime warranty against peeling, or fading). I would presume Noel's (the owner) daughter was the one my girlfriend talked to she asked how long ago it was (2008) and my gf told her we still had the receipt so she said bring it by so they could take a look. When we arrived I had told my gf that they were going to try to get out of replacing it because of my experience in dealing with them in the past and she agreed, she was surprised they were still in business. When we walked in Noel was the one the helped us, I told him we called earlier about having tint replaced under warranty due to it was bubbling and peeling. He looked at the car and then looked at the receipt for at least 3 minutes before telling me that he could replace the tint and comp. the labor and the film $90, but I would have to "participate" by paying $80 for the stripping of the old tint. He told me this is because the tint he had in 2008 was global tint and have since gone out of business which bring up the next issue I originally only went there in 2008 because they advertised 3m non - reflective tint. So now I was either lied to as to what I got in 2008 or when I was just there. None of this was worth the money as I am selling the car and was just trying to make it decent for the next owner. He did tell me he would "remember me" and hook me up or give me a deal on the next time I came in. I denied his compensation considering he can't just fix the one thing that is a problem now. I told him i wouldn't be returning again. read more
