I should've sued as others have! Bob is a crook! Last I heard his health was failing Hmmm God Works in Mysterious Ways. I gave the truck away. read more

Been in the repair business for decades. Bad players like Bob's F100 are not respected in the industry. Buckle in if you want to see why he lost his Auto Repair Dealer license. Read how he sold off parts customers included for their restorations, and how he collected FIVE FIGURE PAYMENTS without performing the work the payments were for. https://www.bar.ca.gov/pdf/accusations/ard166181_2020_02_06_acc.pdf read more

I drove my 72 F-100 4x4 here 9 months ago for a 4 week project. I call and no one answers. I have never have a call back from them. I leave messages and none are answered. I don't even know where my truck is... the location where I dropped off my truck is no longer in use. Avoid this place like the plague!!! PLEASE!!! read more

I am surprised this guy is still in business. I have him do a lot of work to my truck over 25 years ago and I see by the reviews he is still a snake. If you have a Classic Ford Truck I suggest doing anything you can to NOT do business with Bob. read more

Never met Bob but he squared me over the last decade knowing what part to send to Northern California to keep my '63 f100 on the road! Thanks Bob read more

Here is a link on a Ford Truck Forum titled Nightmare at Bob's F100 detailing many whom have been ripped off by Bob Carlisle owner of Bob's F100. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/997072-1955-f100-nightmare-at-bobs-f100s-11.html Please read these reviews and beware and avoid taking your truck to Bob's F100 at all cost. Bob is a liar, thief and a con man. He ripped me off many years ago, sad he is still in business. His shop is more of a junk yard where your truck is stored outside to rust away. Bob changed the prices after I dropped off my F100 truck, grossly overcharging for work never done, or done so sub-par it needed to be redone. Bob will then force you to finally pick up your truck incomplete with your parts stolen and all work done so unsafe you will now need to find someone else to fix whatever he touched or destroyed on you truck. read more

My F-100 restoration with Bob was about 20 years ago and it was an awful experience. Bob ripped me off bad! One example I would like to share with everybody is the day I drove my F-100 off his property and got on the freeway and at about 60 MPH my steering column separated from the dash! I hope the new owner Scotty is an honest man. read more

They sold me a drop axle for my 1960 f100 with all the components. I installed it in my truck and the axle itself was shot to pieces. complete waste of money these guys are scam artist in hack jobs! Completely ruined the entire front end of my truck and now I have to spend thousands to replace the entire front end! read more

Worst experience I've had in my 20 years of owning 50's Ford trucks. Bob is a con artist and a joke. Tried to get my dad and I for 5k in labor with parts. Nice try con man. read more

I went to Bob's today (despite all bad reviews) and was glad that it is now UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!!! Scotty is a down to earth type of guy who takes time to listen and HELP you with your problems/questions. Completely different feel from previous times I had gone there. Looks like they are on the right path to try and fix all the BAD associated with the name. read more

I brought my 1957 f100 truck in for some work to be done on it , and was talked into over 10000.00 dollars of work to be done . We originally had a long and friendly conversation on the things that were supposed to be done on the truck outside in front of his shop. He said I would have a running and driving truck when it was done ( not even close) They were stealing parts off my truck during the build, and I demanded all the parts back . Once I made my first payment its was like I was dealing with a different person , he even tried to add over 3500 dollars to the estimate at the end to finish ))) I had to take it to another place to finish . Was not a good experience and I do not recommend this place . When you build a hot rod its suppose to be a good experience . read more

I would highly recommend staying away from this place. Purchased some parts, asked if I could return them if I didn't use/need them when I purchased them. Five days later I went back to return a few of the items I purchased. I was rudely attacked and denied my return. Parts were new and still in the packaging. Place is completely disorganized and unprofessional. I would spend my money anywhere else, but here. Just read the reviews. read more

I from Florida sent him (3) vehicles my 53 Ford p/u my 55 Chevy p/u my 72 Javelin with brand new parts for the Chevy 2 & half years went buy sent him payments totaling $13,000 & while asking for progress photo proof many times & receiving (1) photo of a chassis that had been sitting with rust development he never sent anymore proof of progress photos & unlike his workers is rude during my inquiries he likes to slam the phone down with me that's like slamming your his face against a boulder in the beginning he'll soothe say you but still with the phone slamming.Believe me I lost all three vehicles over $50,000 and not counting the $13,000 stated.He crooked in his business I'm sorry for those that have to work with him I was so tired of his disrespectful response that I didn't even want the vehicles & told that disrespectful liar to keep them.The (1) he doesn't even deserve that rating.you've heard of grudge matches I would kick his but & make him submit to the loss. Respectfully Submitted Johnny read more

Friend and I needed specific car parts and we found Bob's through someone's recommendation. I worked with Brandon and he was extremely helpful in helping me order and best of all, quoted me a price that was lower from another place in Riverside that I had checked out. Would recommend. read more

I order a part and bobs f100 send me the wrong one.second time again Bob's f100 sends me the wrong part and charges me more. So now I'm stuck with a part that I don't need and a bill of $180. I try talking to Bob's f100 but wouldn't let me talk was rude and disrespectful. I learn my lesson. read more

Nightmare experience with this guy. Quoted me $12,000 for a 2-month job, Same job actually cost $18,000 and took 11 months. My truck was parked outside uncovered in the dust and weather most of this time. Gave me the truck to drive home in an unsafe condition. Sent it back, and it came back with many bugs for me to fix that weren't broken when I delivered the truck to his shop. ALWAYS an excuse that doesn't pass the smell test. No one is so desperate as to have to work with this dude. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. When I dropped off my truck, Bob the owner, quoted me with a "3 day job, but give me a week." He would replace the steering column and steering wheel. He quoted me and agreed to a 1700$ price. After 5 months of attempting to contact him and almost ZERO communication I still didn't have my truck. He did have a death in the family during that time, and it is understandable to need grieving time. The only time he answered my call was to let me know of this difficulty in his life, but that was 1 month after I left my truck at his shop. This was in December. He said he would begin work on my truck in January. January 30th and no call. During that time I called almost once a week to check in, but he " was never available." His employees were great, but the owner, horrible. Today is the day I finally had to almost pay a ransom to get my truck out of his shop. He tried to charge me 3,800$ in labor today. He was rude, no respect and horrible customer service, his wife just as bad. He didn't even finish the job. If I wouldn't have showed up today it would've been 5 more moths of this for a "1 week job." I had to involve my attorney to pay an extra 1,200$ just to get my truck. He even threatened to continue to keep it and charge me for labor and parking/hold. Bob will paint a pretty picture and although knowledgeable, is horrible at customer service. He wouldn't even let me pay with my card, even after I agreed to pay the extra $$. I just wanted my truck back. This is the worst experience I've ever had at a mechanic shop. read more

I called and ordered a part that I needed for my truck without reading any reviews. Customer service on the phone was good, the part arrived on time, it was the right part and in good condition. The price was a little high, but they had the part and other places didn't. I would order from them again. read more

Very, very disappointed in the service I received from Bob. Went out on a limb with these guys and they fell flat on their face. Over charged and got horrible service in return. I'm the kind of guy that has money and is willing to be up charge for excellent service, but got the opposite. read more

I called looking for a column shift lever for a manual transmission on a Friday and was told it was in stock and would be $25. I told the person on the phone that I couldn't get down there until Tuesday, he told me to call before I drove down to make sure they still had it. When I called on Tuesday he said he had it and the price was $35. I told him I was quoted $25 on Friday and he said he would honor that price. I drove 75 miles to pick up the part and after waiting around for the part to be located the owner told me the price was $95 because he had to pull the part from another column and that would ruin the column. It was the exact lever that had also been found sitting in a box. He told me he could let me have that one for $80. I left empty handed and found a reproduction lever thru a website for $30. Overall, the person at the counter was helpful and nice but then the owner walked in and he warned me that the price was about to triple. And triple it did. The owner was also pretty rude and acted very put out about finding the part I was looking for. I was also quoted $400 for a fender and $325 for a bumper. Thats an astronomical price. Needless to say, but I won't be going thru this business for any help with my restoration. read more

I had to do one star just to submit the review. I wasn't even a Yelp member but signed up just to be able to post this because I was so pissed. This guy is a total rip off. Every bit of work he did was crap. The motor he put in was totally tired and thrown together with mismatched parts. I finally got tired of the BS and actually had to tow my truck out of there. I had to have someone redo their wiring, replace the motor and trans. Better indication of the guy's character - I took my truck there with parts in the bed to use like trim, badges, and motor parts but when I asked about them before towing my truck out of there he said I had to prove the parts were there. Unfortunately I didn't think I needed to take pictures so I am SOL but I know what was there and that he kept it all. When I tried to argue he said he would charge me for storage and put a lien against the truck. Believe what people are saying. We can't all be making this stuff up! read more

DO NOT BUY any old ford truck parts from him. This guy will sell you kits that are triple the price and are the wrong year parts for your vehicle Also the kits are not complete. When confronted he will not take them back. He will not even exchange them for the right part. read more

This is a terrible place to order parts from. We only received a partial shipment of items ordered by phone, had to ask for an itemized receipt, and when a box went missing they wouldn't take responsibility for filing an investigation until we threatened to dispute the credit card charge. They are very unprofessional. Sorry we ever did business with them. The other writer is correct; you can get everything they sell elsewhere for less, too. read more

This place is a bad business based on the service that I received. I took my 1955 there in July 2017 for a restore, I was told that the job would take between 4-6 months, at a cost of 15K. He would never take, or return any of my calls, and when I did talk to him he always had a personal issue as to why he hadn't gotten back to me. After 1 year, he finally painted the truck, and it was another 6 months before I could get it on Christmas Eve. He over billed for everything, and inflated all cost. How does a 15K estimate go to 40K?? After paying his shop manager and getting an invoice that says PAID IN FULL, he is still emailing me saying that I owe him another 10K... This guy should not be in business, as I see reading these reviews, he tries to do this to all his customers. VERY dissatisfied with the service received from BobsF100. He is now threating to take me to small claims court, for a balance that I don't owe, but I have all my ducks and paperwork in order, and he will end up paying me if he decides to go down this road. I wouldn't refer this business to anyone! read more

I have looked all over the country for parts for my 1960 f100 project. This is my first time purchasing parts from Bob, the part I purchased was in great shape. The customer service was great. I plan to purchase more for my project in the future. Thank you Brandon. read more

Absolutely 0 stars. These guys are crooks. I paid them $20000 for a complete finished truck. I took them boxes of original chrome parts to a 1955 Ford. After months of extensions against the stated time of completion I was not only given an unfinished truck, None off the parts that I had brought them were used used and when asked about this they got all defensive calling me a liar, and when trying to come to a resolution for this issue was told they would put a lien against my truck if it was not picked up. I would never recommend or go anywhere near this place ever. They have also been reported to the Better Business Bureau. read more

This is one of the worst companies I have ever dwelt with. I have spent over $3000 on vintage parts with this company. Time after time I have been displease with the product and then the customer service I received in trying to return the parts, BOB WILL NOT RETURN PARTS! It's because he knows the parts are not quality parts, they are second rate at best. Bob lies and lies! Stay away from this company. Spend a little time researching your product do not take Bob's word on anything. Do not let them charge your credit card on anything until you have the part(s). Best recommendation is to avoid buying anything from Bob's F100, ever! read more
